Horseshoe Casino Baltimore is buying up land near stadiums as casinos adjust to shifting market. The casino, whose revenues have declined since a new MGM opened, is eager to transform its South Baltimore industrial area into an entertainment district.
While Horseshoe Casino Baltimore has seen revenue fall since the December 2016 opening of MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, the City of Baltimore — which receives a percentage of Horseshoe’s proceeds — is actually receiving more money than before from the casino.
