A Holiday Getaway Just Across the Bridge at MGM National Harbor

With a larger-than-life holiday display, a weekly fireworks show, and festive spa specials, MGM National Harbor is the ultimate holiday staycation destination. The property has transformed into a winter wonderland with activities for the whole family to enjoy and celebrate the yuletide season. These include:

Charming Conservatory. We’re capturing the spirit of the season with a Conservatory display featuring 10,000 glittering ornaments, 1,800 poinsettias, a 15-foot snow globe, snowy Christmas trees, a 16-foot-tall rocking horse, a colossal 20-foot-tall toy snowman, and more.

Sips That Sleigh. Our guests can satisfy their sweet tooth with holiday-inspired beverages at Bellagio Patisserie. Limited-time sips include the Nutcracker Mocha, Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookie Chai, and Crème Brûlée Latte.

Holiday Restaurant Specials. Chefs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio are sharing a family staple for the holidays at Voltaggio Brothers Steak House. Affectionately known as “Sausage Balls” by the Voltaggio Brothers growing up, this dish was their family’s favorite seasonal treat at their childhood home in Frederick, Maryland. Additionally, guests looking for a holiday feast can enjoy a special menu at TAP Sports Bar that includes savory dishes like Old Bay Fried Turkey Wing, Brown Sugar Glazed Ham and Crab Stuffed Salmon. All entrées include cranberry sauce, cornbread, and pumpkin cheesecake, and are served with three sides.

Festive Fireworks at the Harbor. Every Saturday through December 28, guests can experience National Harbor’s dazzling fireworks display from Potomac Plaza at MGM National Harbor. The free show begins at 5:30pm. 

Serene Spa Treatments. Peace, joy, and aromatherapy await with seasonal spa specials at MGM National Harbor. From the “Gift of Glow Facial” to the “Winter Warming Retreat,” The Spa & Salon provides a relaxing respite from the busy holiday season.

And…

New Year's Eve Festivities. Ring in 2025 at MGM National Harbor with unforgettable celebrations featuring exclusive parties and elevated dining experiences. Start the evening with a pre-fixe menu at Osteria Costa, the resort’s Amalfi Coast-inspired restaurant. For live music and dancing, head to Diablo’s Cantina for a nonstop party with a live DJ, signature cocktails, late-night bites, and a midnight champagne toast. 

Do you prefer a sophisticated soirée? Check out FELT, where an all-blue formal dress code will set the tone for an elegant night with live entertainment by The Kim Michelle Experience, DJ Jo Icye spinning tracks, and a complimentary champagne toast. 

We hope you’ll visit us soon, Happy Holidays!
