On September 11, 2013, West Springfield voters voted to block the Hard Rock proposal, leaving only MGM and Mohegan sun in the race for the license. MGM was then in a three-way race with Hard Rock's West Springfield proposal and Mohegan Sun's Palmer proposal. On April 30, 2013, Mayor Dominic Sarno selected MGM Springfield as the winning proposal for the City of Springfield, defeating the Penn National proposal for the north end of the city, and on July 16 Springfield voters approved the casino application, making MGM Springfield the state's first proposal to win voter approval in its host community. On December 2, 2012, MGM Springfield and Penn National's Springfield proposal became the remaining two proposals for Springfield when Ameristar withdrew its Springfield proposal for the former Westinghouse site. Casinos were also proposed for Holyoke, Palmer, and West Springfield. MGM Springfield was one of three proposals in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts for the Western Massachusetts casino license.
