R&R Partners is a minority owner of R&R Resources+, which earned the contract through its status as an independently owned Minority Business Enterprise.
The firm is headed by Steven Horsford, who represented Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District before losing his re-election bid last fall. The contract to oversee brand marketing efforts for the project, which will be operated by Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts International, was awarded to R&R Resources+. Las Vegas-based marketing firm R&R Partners will play a role in launching the $1.3 billion MGM National Harbor development, a resort complex under construction across the Potomac River from the nation’s capitol. “What happens in D.C., stays in D.C.,” probably won’t fly.
MGM Resorts International hopes to open the resort and casino late next year. In this artist‘s rendering, the proposed MGM National Harbor is seen from the adjoining highway that rings Washington, D.C.
