MGM National Harbor (MD) Hype Thread -- FAQ in OP, updated 2016.11.30 - Page 77 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The casino will open on December 8th at 8PM Eastern time.

But what I really want to know is when the poker room will be open to the general public.

Mine were mostly jokes, yeah.

Someone guessed the bolded, then Johnny said all prior guesses were incorrect...

Johnny is there any word or educated assumption on the buyin structure of 2-5 (capped at 500, 1000, or 100% of big stack) and possibly a rock? Also there was probably discussion already but what about the straddle?

In all seriousness, I'm looking for hotels there. Am I asking for trouble with traffic on the bridge if I stay on the VA side?

Not if you can avoid rush hour. Arlington and Alexandria are within minutes. I recently moved to Arlington and I'm less than 10 minutes away with normal traffic.

Depends on time of day... crossing from VA to MD in the morning is a breeze, between 4-6pm is problematic. The opposite is true coming from MD into VA.

Where in Arlington are you living that it takes you less than ten minutes? My wife and I were in Old Town this weekend and it took us @ 10 minutes to drive over there with no traffic at all.

You could stay in old town Alexandria and take the ferry to completely avoid traffic/driving.

Are you talking about rush hour?

How about if you want to go at 8 or 9 pm?

a major, major traffic concern that hasn't been acknowledged is this:

495 is 4 lanes, but only 2 of those lanes will allow you to actually exit for MGM whether you're coming from the north or south. I'm sure i'm not the only one who's been driving 60mph in the express lanes coming south over the Wilson and seeing dead stopped traffic in the "local" lanes, sadly those local lanes are where you need to be to exit for MGM.

(I think the same would be true coming from points north on the inner loop in Maryland, but I don't know for sure.) You'll have a turn or two to make on the back roads -- and may be stuck in traffic there as well -- but it's not that painful outside of rush hour time. Of course, rush hour time is going to be quite long once MGM opens.
