Not only annoying, but stupid from a business standpoint- they'd rather have you wasting time standing in line instead of being at the tables gambling? 3. And now the MOST annoying thing of all- comps are not automatically loaded onto your players card- instead you must wait in line at the poker check-in desk (along with the throngs of people waiting to get their name on the waiting list) and ask the cranky clerk for a printed comp voucher in the amount you specify. This is a billion dollar MGM property- they can't come up with any technology to page your cell phone when your table is ready? Also idiotic from a business standpoint- don't they want you gambling elsewhere while waiting instead of being tethered to the check in desk? 2. Once you give your name and get on the waiting list, you must wait in the general vicinity of the check-in desk to listen for your name to be called. First of all, expect to wait 2-3 hours for a seat in the poker room- not at all their fault as the place is popular, but here is what is their fault: 1.

I'm not sure what they can do about that now, but hey, I'm just the messenger.Came twice, terrible experience both time- won't be back. I didn't really notice until people kept trying to squeeze by me as I was winning on the slot machine. If you like to gamble, then this may be a problem for you. Space between slot machines and tables is tight. We probably waited for about 40 minutes to order and receive our tacos and frankly, the National Market area could use more seating. But overall, the whole place was overwhelmingly crowded and I don't think the powers that be accounted for the crowds when building such a massive facility, which brings me to my next point.

I know it's still new since opening in early December however, the lines in the food court were unruly. Additionally, we tried making a reservation at Tap Sports Bar upon arrival, but we were told seating was on a first-come, first-served basis. You can call to make reservations but still, let's get with the times. You should be able to go online to make a reservation. You can't make restaurant reservations online. However, in addition to the pros, of course there are some cons I can't overlook: CONS 1.

My overall feeling is that I loved MGM National Harbor and can't wait to spend more time there.
