Arundel Mills opened in November 2000 and, as of July 21, 2007, had over 225 stores.[1] It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times dinner theater.[2] In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills features a Dave & Buster's, the Live! Casino & Hotel, and an Egyptian-themed 24-screen megaplex theater. The cinema was the only outlet of its Muvico Theaters chain in the state of Maryland before being sold to Cinemark in March 2009.[3]

The mall's interior layout features a "racetrack" design and, more noticeably, the outline of a boat. Sponsorships for five sections or "neighborhoods" of the mall were previously held by Coca-Cola, Comcast, Discover Card, The Baltimore Sun, and Toyota.

Anchor and department stores

As of September 2023, the mall's anchor and department stores include Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Books-A-Million, Burlington Coat Factory, The Children's Place, Cinemark Egyptian 24 Theatres, Dave & Buster's, Forever 21, H&M, MD Furniture, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, OFF 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, Primark, Sun and Ski Sports, T.J. Maxx, and Ulta Beauty.

Live! Casino & Hotel
Main article: Live! Casino & Hotel

After Maryland voters approved slot machine gambling in Maryland in 2008, The Cordish Company planned a slots parlor next to the mall. The proposal for slots at Arundel Mills was on the ballot as a referendum in the November 2010 elections; the referendum passed, and construction began on the casino shortly afterward, with the grand opening of its first phase held on June 6, 2012.[4] Since full completion in September 2012, Live! Casino & Hotel has about 380,000 sq. ft. of floor space and 4,750 gaming slots.[5] Live! Casino & Hotel is a free-standing facility, separated from Arundel Mills by the inner mall ring road.[6] Although not directly connected to the mall, the casino is within walking distance of the food court entrance. Live! Casino & Hotel includes a 5,000-space parking structure at Arundel Mills with a "smart park" green-and-red-light space availability feature, such as the system used at nearby BWI Airport.[6] Parking is available free of charge during all mall hours for Arundel Mills shoppers.[6]

Live! Casino & Hotel includes several dining options, including The Cheesecake Factory;[7] KOHO Korean BBQ; and a Prime Rib steakhouse. The project was to feature an Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant, though the restaurant announced in November 2011 that it would not be opening a location there. Instead, Phillips Seafood opened a location at the site.[8] Live! Casino & Hotel has a live music venue, operated by Annapolis-based Rams Head,[7] which includes fixed seating for approximately 300 in a cabaret-style design with several stepped viewing levels of the stage.[7]

In 2019, The Hall! At Live! concert venue officially opened.

The hotel itself has a restaurant, spa, salon, gift shop, and meeting rooms open to the public. Anne Arundel Community College holds their annual graduation at Live!.
