This 24-story luxury gaming and resort destination stands as a gleaming gateway into the Washington, D.C. region, offering world-class dining from top local chefs and an intimate theater hosting premier entertainment acts. The property features a 125,000-sf casino, a 308-room hotel, a 3,000-seat theater, luxury retail shops, a spa, and multiple fine-dining restaurants.

IMEG’s lighting design team, Illuminating Concepts, played a pivotal role in shaping the resort’s luminous identity, developing a customized lighting fixture seamlessly integrated into the facade curtain wall. This bespoke solution ensures the cool white aluminum and concrete exterior is evenly illuminated while maintaining glare-free views from guest rooms, striking a perfect balance between bold exterior lighting and interior comfort.

At ground level, the team’s expertise extended to high-output LED lighting, which elegantly highlights custom artwork, the iconic MGM Lion, lush landscaping, and the pool deck—enhancing both the architectural presence and guest experience. The result is a modern, sophisticated structure that pays homage to the area’s historic architecture while standing as a beacon of contemporary design.
