WASHINGTON — If you love a Vegas-like experience, you’re probably thrilled with the opening this week of the MGM National Harbor’s casino in Prince George’s County.
But what if cards, spinning wheels and squawking slot machines aren’t your thing?
In that case, the casino’s operators are hoping to tempt you with a number of musical acts — new and older — over the next few months, starting with Boyz II Men, Lionel Richie and Bruno Mars.
Other entertainers lined up for appearances over the next few months include Sting, Cher, Kings of Leon, ZZ Top, Duran Duran, comedian Jim Gaffigan, Ricky Martin and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Here’s a lineup of musical and comedy acts coming to the harbor in the next few weeks:
In 2000, Brennan Haselton took a job at WTOP as reporter and anchor, and that's where he has been ever since (with the exception of a brief return to Seattle in 2005). He is a two-time winner of the national Edward R. Murrow Award, and winner of the National Headliner Grand Award.
