Come December, droves of people will enter MGM National Harbor to gamble, dine, maybe shop and see a show. But a select handful of Prince George’s County residents will have the opportunity to bet on the resort well before its opening.
MGM National Harbor on Monday will launch Aspire, a vehicle through which accredited investors can snag a minor ownership stake in the $1.3 billion, 1 million-square-foot hotel and casino. Aspire is a first-of-its-kind program for MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM), and MGM officials say they haven’t found anything like it anywhere else in the gaming industry.
