Hi Friends!
Checking in to tell you guys all about how we spent our 4th wedding anniversary this fall. For all of the OG Spoonful of Trish readers, my very first blog post was written after our 1st wedding anniversary so it’s crazy to think I’m now recapping yet another amazing trip!
This year we headed down south (23 minutes) to Maryland to stay at a little slice of heaven Las Vegas known as MGM National Harbor. We have been visiting the MGM for years so it was really special and exciting for the property to host us for our anniversary.
Property
Where do I even start when it comes to this amazing property? MGM National Harbor is a premier luxury resort and casino located just south of Washington, D.C. on the banks of the Potomac River across the bridge from Old Town, Alexandria. The resort includes 308 rooms, a 130,000+ square foot casino, 10+ onsite restaurants, shops, a spa and a 3,000 seat theatre. I knew upon check-in that we would have absolutely no reason to leave the property, everything we needed was all in one place. The MGM also features a 15,000 square foot conservatory with absolutely stunning seasonal displays.
Rooms
We spent our anniversary in a corner suite with floor to ceiling windows with insane views on all sides. Our room had a separate living room along with a seating area near the views of the Potomac river. Our room had the most perfect view of the National Harbor ferris wheel which I was able to capture during sunset. I loved having a separate room in our suite where I could fall asleep early and Randy could stay up and watch sports – it was a win-win.
Dining
There are so many food options at MGM National Harbor, it was so hard to decide where to start! Our first night we shared dinner at Ginger which serves authentic Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese dishes right in the center of the conservatory. Our second night at Voltaggio Brothers Steakhouse might have actually been one of my top 5 best meals of my life and I don’t say that lightly – just let the pictures below do the talking.
I would highly recommend MGM National Harbor to anyone in the DMV (D.C.-Maryland-Virginia) area who could use a mini vacation outside the city, or those who are traveling to the East Coast this destination is a MUST! Thank you so much to the MGM for hosting us, we can’t wait to come back soon!
xoxo,
Trish
