It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International and was built on the site of the demolished Dunes hotel and casino.

Deer Park Hotel Following the American Civil War, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) created a vacation resort in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland, in the small town of Deer Park, Maryland. Constructed in 1873, the Deer Park Hotel was heavily promoted by the B&O railroad and became a favorite resort for the wealthy and prominent citizens of the Baltimore/Washington area. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, and Grover Cleveland were among its guests; William McKinley visited the establishment before he became president. Even President Grover Cleveland spent his five-day honeymoon with his new wife, Frances Folsom Cleveland. The Deer Park Spring, which had produced pure mountain water that was sold commercially, supplied the hotel, its swimming pool, and Turkish baths. Deer Park's popularity declined after 1900 and the resort finally closed after the onset of the Depression in 1929. The grand hotel itself was razed in 1944 due to a fire, although a few of the opulent cottages remain as reminders of the park's faded majesty.
