ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker's administration outlined support Thursday to build a luxurious Las-Vegas-style casino on the Potomac River at National Harbor near the nation's capital that would cost about $1 billion.
A consultant hired by the Baker administration concluded that National Harbor was an overwhelmingly preferred location in the county.

Not really suprising. I live within walking distance of the National Harbor. When it was learned that Rosecroft raceway(about 2-3 minutes from the Nat'l Harbor) was set to shut it's doors, there was an attempt to bring gaming into the establishment. Since that time, Penn re-opened the raceway, still pushing for slots/tables. As someone who lives in the area, I'm not for gaming. I gamble, but it's a detriment to the local community. I wouldn't be suprised to see it happen, Rosecroft nearly got gaming, and they're a much smaller, shallower pocketed group. With the "influence" that the owners/investors of the National Harbor have, it will be done.
