Health & Safety
In May, MGM Resorts released its comprehensive “Seven-Point Safety Plan,” a multi-layered set of protocols and procedures designed in conjunction with medical and scientific experts to mitigate the spread of the virus, protect customers and employees and rapidly respond to potential new cases. As time passes, the company will continue to evaluate and evolve its safety protocols. Key initiatives from the MGM Resorts plan as well as specific to MGM National Harbor include:
·Employee screening, temperature checks and COVID-19 specific training
·Employees and guests will be required to wear masks in public areas. Masks will be provided free of charge
·Guest temperature checks at casino floor entrances and hotel front desk
·A physical distancing policy will be implemented, with floor guides serving as reminders
·For areas where physical distancing presents challenges, plexiglass barriers will be installed, or other measures will be used to reduce risks

·Contactless Check-In through the MGM Resorts App will allow hotel guests to go through the check-in process on their personal devices, minimizing interactions

·To minimize groups congregating while they wait, restaurant guests will receive text message notification when their tables are ready
