NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

MGM Grand, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation, incorporated on
January 29, 1986. As of September 30, 1996, approximately 61.6% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were owned by Kirk Kerkorian
and Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation wholly-owned by Kirk Kerkorian.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGM Grand Hotel, Inc., the Company owns
and operates MGM Grand Hotel/Casino ("MGM Grand Las Vegas"), a hotel/casino and
entertainment complex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGM Grand Australia Pty Ltd., the
Company owns and operates the MGM Grand Diamond Beach Hotel/Casino ("MGM Grand
Australia"), a hotel/casino resort in Darwin, Australia. MGM Grand Australia was
acquired and commenced operations on September 7, 1995.

The Company and Primadonna Resorts, Inc. ("Primadonna") formed New York-New
York Hotel, LLC on December 23, 1994, a 50% joint venture, to equally own,
develop and operate New York-New York Hotel/Casino ("NYNY") located at the
northwest corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, across from MGM
Grand Las Vegas. NYNY is a destination resort, with a budget of $460,000,000,
including a 2,034-room hotel and an 84,000 square foot casino, themed
entertainment attractions, restaurants, and retail outlets. The grand opening is
scheduled on January 3, 1997.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the 1995 Annual Report
incorporated in Form 10-K.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of September 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the three month and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations
for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements
to conform with the 1996 presentation.

Note 2. Statements of Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, cash payments made for
interest were $44,854,000 and $30,258,000, respectively.

Cash payments made for state and federal income taxes for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $2,960,000 and $590,000, respectively.


Note 3. Long Term Debt and Notes Payable

Long term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

============= ============
</TABLE>

Total interest incurred for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 was
$37,913,000 and $46,826,000, respectively, of which $3,905,000 and $2,263,000
was capitalized in the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively. The capitalization
of interest arises from the transformation of the Company's flagship property
MGM Grand Las Vegas into "The City of Entertainment", the acquisition of
land for the construction of MGM Grand Atlantic City, and construction of
the Company's New York-New York joint venture project.

On July 3, 1996, the Company deposited $523,231,000 (the "Defeasance
Deposit") with the Trustee, U.S. Trust of California, to fund the defeasance of
MGM Grand Hotel Finance Corp. First Mortgage Notes ("FMN's") in accordance with
the terms of the bond indenture. The Defeasance Deposit was made in the form
of U.S. Government securities and will be used to fund interest payments on the
FMN's through May 1, 1997, the call as of such date of the 11-3/4% FMN's at
101.958% of the outstanding principal, the call as of such date of the 12%
FMN's at 105.333% of the outstanding principal, and related expenses. On October
29, 1996, the liens on the assets of MGM Grand Hotel, Inc. and MGM Grand
Finance, Inc. were released and accordingly, the Defeasance was finalized. The
early extinguishment of the FMN's resulted in an extraordinary loss of approx-
imately $30,811,000, net of tax benefits.

Note 3. Long Term Debt and Notes Payable (continued)


On July 1, 1996, the Company secured a new $500,000,000 Senior Reducing
Revolving Credit Facility with BA Securities, an affiliate of Bank of America
NT&SA ("BofA"). The facility was subsequently increased to $600,000,000 in
August 1996, and contains various restrictive covenants on the Company,
including the maintenance of certain financial ratios and limitations on
additional debt, dividends, capital expenditures and disposition of assets. It
also restricts acquisitions and similar transactions. Interest on the Facility
is based on the bank reference rate or Eurdollar rate. The Facility matures in
2001. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, $61,000,000 was drawn down
against the Facility, with $40,000,000 of such balance related to the defeasance
of the FMN's, and $21,000,000 related to acquisitions of property for MGM Grand
Atlantic City. As of September 30, 1996, $40,000,000 was outstanding under the
Facility.

The Australian bank facility provides a total availability of approximately
$83,076,000 (AUD$105,000,000) which has been fully utilized, and includes
funding for general corporate purposes. Interest on the facility is based on the
Australian Bank Bill rate. The loan agreement contains various restrictive
covenants on the Company and MGM Grand Australia, including the maintenance of
certain financial ratios and limitations on additional debt, dividends, and
disposition of assets. It also restricts acquisitions and similar transactions.
The indebtedness has been wholly guaranteed by the Company and matures in
December 2000.

MGM Grand Australia has a $15,824,000 (AUD$20,000,000) uncommitted standby
line of credit, with a funding period of 91 days for working capital purposes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, $4,262,000 (AUD$5,387,000) was
borrowed with $2,284,000 (AUD$2,887,000) repaid and $1,978,000 (AUD$2,500,000)
remaining outstanding under the line of credit.

On September 20, 1995, NYNY, a joint venture between the Company and
Primadonna Resorts, Inc. (see Note 1) completed its bank financing for up to
$225,000,000. The Facility was increased to $285,000,000 during August 1996. The
non-revolving construction line of credit converts to a five-year reducing
revolver upon completion of construction and commencement of operations. The
Company and Primadonna Resorts, Inc. (the "Partners") have guaranteed completion
of the project as a condition to facility availability, and have executed a
joint and several unlimited Keep-Well Agreement, which provides that in the
event of insufficient cash flow from NYNY to comply with financial covenants,
the Partners will make cash infusions which are sufficient to bring NYNY into
compliance with the financial covenants. The first draw down occurred on
September 30, 1995, and as of September 30, 1996, $247,000,000 has been drawn
down under the facility.

Note 4. Issuance of Common Stock

On July 2, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the "Offering")
of 8,625,000 shares of common stock (including underwriter's over allotment
option to purchase 1,125,000 shares of common stock). Based upon the Offering
price of $39.50 per share and associated costs incurred, the net proceeds were
approximately $327,000,000. The net proceeds from the Offering were used for the
defeasance of the MGM Grand Hotel Finance Corp. FMN's (see Note 3).

On May 7, 1996, the Company made a commitment to grant 15 shares of Company
common stock to each of its employees in exchange for continued active
employment through the one year anniversary date of the commitment. As a result
of the stock grant commitment, deferred compensation in the amount of $4,982,000
was recognized based upon 8,279 employees and a market price of $40.125 per
share on the date of commitment. The deferred compensation is included in
stockholders' equity, and is amortized (after adjustment for employee attrition)
to compensation expense monthly over the one year commitment period. As of
September 30, 1996, approximately $1,854,000 has been amortized to expense and
reflected as an increase to stockholders' equity.

On May 24, 1995, the Company and MGM Grand Hotel, Inc. entered into a
promotion agreement with Don King Productions, Inc. ("DKP"), pursuant to which
MGM Grand Las Vegas will have the exclusive right to present the first six of
Mike Tyson's fights. In addition, MGM Grand Hotel, Inc. made a non-interest
bearing working capital advance of $15,000,000 to DKP which calls for repayment
on January 25, 1998, and the Company sold DKP 618,557 treasury shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Shares") for $15,000,000, in exchange for a non-
interest bearing promissory note. Through September 30, 1996, three fights had
occurred pursuant to the agreement, and the final payment on the stock
promissory note has been paid. The original agreement has been amended by a
Trust Agreement dated as of October 23, 1996, in which the Shares will be
voluntarily placed in the name of, and held by, an independent trustee, pending
disposition at the direction of the Company. The Trust Agreement extends the
payment date of the working capital advance and the guaranteed share price of
$48.50 to March 31, 1998. The Company has expensed approximately $1,933,000
representing the accumulated amortization of the difference between the
guaranteed share price and the market price of $42.25 at September 30, 1996. At
September 30, 1996, the total cash requirement of the guarantee is approximately
$3,866,000.


Note 5. Master Plan Asset Disposition

During September 1996, the Company determined to write off various assets
with a net book value of $49,401,000 (pre-tax) as a result of the MGM Grand Las
Vegas property construction enhancements associated with the transformation of
the facility into "The City of Entertainment". The affected areas include the
MGM Grand Theme Park with a write-off of approximately $39,564,000 to make way
for a major entertainment/retail complex and convention center, and
approximately $8,580,000 related to the removal of the lion entrance and Emerald
City to be replaced with a new mezzanine entry, a themed restaurant, and a
remodeled casino among other attractions. In addition, the Company wrote-off
approximately $1,257,000 representing certain food court and Midway/Arcade areas
to be converted into Studio Walk, a replica of a Hollywood sound stage featuring
Hollywood landmarks.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Note 6. Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents, if dilutive, outstanding during each
period. Such amounts were 58,461,000 and 48,589,000 shares for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and 52,637,000 and
48,525,000 shares for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS
109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves,
related to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences.
SFAS 109 requires recognition of a deferred tax asset to the extent that
realization of such asset is more likely than not, otherwise, a valuation
allowance is applied. As of September 30, 1996, the Company believes that its
deferred tax assets are fully realizable because of the future reversal of
temporary differences and future projected taxable income in the next year.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, is as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)


Quarter versus Quarter

Consolidated net revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 were
$198,433,000 compared with $198,281,000 reported in the same period of the prior
year. During the 1996 period, lower food and beverage revenues at MGM Grand Las
Vegas reflected the conversion of three of its restaurants to tenancies, and
lower entertainment revenues were associated with fewer EFX performances during
the 1996 period when compared with the 1995 period. This decrease was offset by
a full quarter of MGM Grand Australia operations compared with 24 days in the
prior year quarter (see Note 1).

Consolidated casino revenues for the third quarter of 1996 were $118,918,000,
representing an increase of $6,781,000 (6.1%) when compared with $112,137,000
for the same period in the prior year. MGM Grand Las Vegas casino revenues of
$111,755,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased by
$1,251,000 (1.1%) when compared with $110,504,000 for the same period in the
prior year, reflecting a stronger Baccarat win in the 1996 period. MGM Grand
Australia casino revenues were $7,163,000 for the period, representing an
increase of $5,531,000 (338.9%) above the prior year period of $1,632,000, which
was attributable to the short operating period of 24 days in the prior year
quarter.

Consolidated room revenues of $43,463,000 for the third quarter of 1996
resulted in an increase of $2,473,000 (6.0%) when compared with $40,990,000 in
the prior year period. MGM Grand Las Vegas had room revenues of $42,754,000,
which were $1,916,000 (4.7%) over the prior year period of $40,838,000 due to
higher occupancy of 97.6% in the current quarter compared with 93.4% in the
prior year period. MGM Grand Australia room revenues of $737,000 increased by
$570,000 over the prior year 24-day revenues of $167,000.

Consolidated food and beverage revenues were $19,264,000 in the third quarter
of 1996, representing a decrease of $3,644,000 (15.9%) when compared with
$22,908,000 for the same period in the prior year. The reduction was mainly
attributable to MGM Grand Las Vegas revenues of $17,426,000 which were
$5,114,000 (22.7%) below the prior year period of $22,540,000, reflecting the
restructuring program which converted three of its restaurants to tenancies. MGM
Grand Australia food and beverage revenues of $1,851,000 increased by $1,412,000
above the prior year period of $439,000 due to the short 24-day operating period
in 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)


Quarter versus Quarter (continued)

Entertainment, retail and other revenues were $31,418,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, or $4,959,000 (13.6%) below the prior year
period of $36,377,000. The reduction reflects lower MGM Grand Las Vegas
entertainment revenue as a result of fewer EFX performances and lower occupancy
due to the absence of a star performer, and lower Theme Park revenues due to
reduced admittance ticket sales. Retail revenue was below the prior year period,
which was partially offset by increased rental revenues related to the
conversion of three restaurants to tenancies and the effect of a full quarter of
lease revenues from the Star Lane Mall during the current period.

Consolidated operating expense (before Corporate expense and Master Plan
asset disposition) was $152,176,000 in the third quarter of 1996, representing a
decrease of $12,717,000 (7.7%) when compared with $164,893,000 in the prior year
period. MGM Grand Las Vegas operating expenses were $145,411,000, or $18,262,000
(11.2%) lower than the prior year period of $163,673,000. Such reductions
included a lower provision for doubtful accounts and discounts in the 1996
period when compared with the prior year which was higher based upon changes in
anticipated collectibility, as well as decreased food and beverage costs
reflecting the benefits of the restructuring plan which converted three
restaurants to tenancies. Additionally, lower entertainment, retail and other
costs reflect fewer and less costly Grand Garden events held during the 1996
quarter, and lower EFX operating costs resulting from the reduced performance
schedule. Additionally, the 1995 period contained a one-time restructuring
charge of $5,942,000. Such improvements in operating expenses were partially
offset by an increase in room expense reflecting increased occupancy, and
increased casino expenses as a result of various additional marketing programs.
MGM Grand Australia operating expenses of $8,135,000 for the 1996 period were
$6,683,000 above the prior year 24-day period of $1,452,000.

Consolidated operating profit before Corporate expense and Master Plan asset
disposition was $46,257,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, reflecting
an increase of $12,869,000 (38.5%) over the 1995 quarter of $33,388,000. MGM
Grand Las Vegas reported operating profit of $44,973,000 (before Master Plan
asset disposition), which was $12,377,000 (38.0%) above the prior year period of
$32,596,000, resulting from revenue enhancement programs and continued cost
containment efforts. MGM Grand Australia had operating income of $1,284,000,
which was $492,000 above the prior year 24-day operating period.

MGM GRAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)


Quarter versus Quarter (continued)


Master Plan asset disposition relates to the write-off of various assets as a
result of the transformation of MGM Grand Las Vegas into the "The City of
Entertainment", which resulted in a one-time charge of $49,401,000 (pre-tax) in
the 1996 period (see Note 5).

Corporate expense was $1,664,000 in the third quarter of 1996, compared with
$4,448,000 in the same period of 1995. The decrease of $2,784,000 (62.6%) was
due primarily to a reduction of the accumulated amortization related to the Don
King Productions, Inc. promotion agreement (see Note 4).

Interest income of $451,000 for the period ended September 30, 1996 increased
by $71,000 (18.7%) from $380,000 in the third quarter of 1995. The increase was
due to higher invested average cash balances at MGM Grand Las Vegas during the
third quarter of 1996 when compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest) in the third quarter of 1996
was $2,269,000 reflecting a decrease of $11,181,000 when compared with
$13,450,000 in the same period of 1995. The reduction in the third quarter of
1996 was primarily due to the reduction of debt balances and cost of funds
attributable to the Offering (see Note 4), and the defeasance of the First
Mortgage Notes during the 1996 quarter (see Note 3), as well as capitalization
of interest expense related to various 1996 construction projects. The reduction
was partially offset by the MGM Grand Australia bank loan which was outstanding
during the full 1996 quarter when compared with 24 days in the prior year
period.

Income tax benefit of $2,127,000 was recorded at a rate of 31.3% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996, compared with the prior year when
there was no provision due to the benefit resulting from the reduction of the
valuation allowance.

Extraordinary loss of $30,811,000, net of income tax benefit of $17,710,000,
reflects the loss on defeasance of the $473,000,000 of First Mortgage Notes (see
Note 3).

Nine Months versus Nine Months

Consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$598,222,000, representing an increase of $69,659,000 (13.2%) when compared with
$528,563,000 for the same period in 1995. MGM Grand Las Vegas accounted for a
majority of the improved 1996 revenues, where every revenue segment (excluding
food and beverage due the conversion of three restaurants to tenancies) produced
an increase over the prior year period while continuing to reduce revenue
volatility. MGM Grand Australia revenues for the nine months of 1996 were
significantly higher than the prior year 24-day period, reflecting the
acquisition of the property on September 7, 1995.

Consolidated casino revenues were $355,911,000 for the nine months of 1996,
reflecting an increase of $66,569,000 (23.0%) when compared with $289,342,000 in
the same period of 1995. MGM Grand Las Vegas accounted for a majority of the
increase, where revenues of $334,572,000 were $46,863,000 (16.3%) above the
prior year of $287,709,000, reflecting improved win and win percentages in table
games, Baccarat and slots. MGM Grand Australia casino revenues were $21,339,000
for the nine month period of 1996, reflecting a significant increase of
$19,707,000 above the same period of the prior year which included only 24 days
of operating results.

Consolidated room revenues of $130,888,000 for the nine months of 1996 were
above the prior year period of $120,374,000 by $10,514,000 (8.7%). MGM Grand
Las Vegas reported revenues of $129,347,000 for the 1996 period, or $9,002,000
(7.5%) above the 1995 period of $120,345,000, reflecting increased occupancy and
average daily room rate of 96.8% and $98, respectively, when compared with 92.8%
and $96 for the nine months of 1995. MGM Grand Australia reported room revenues
for the nine month period of $1,642,000, which were above the prior year period
by $1,475,000 reflecting the short 1995 operating period of 24 days.

Nine Months versus Nine Months (continued)


Consolidated food and beverage revenues of $58,799,000 for the nine months of
1996 were below the prior year period of $69,783,000 by $10,984,000 (15.7%). MGM
Grand Las Vegas accounted for the change, where revenues of $54,120,000 for the
1996 quarter were $15,357,000 (22.1%) below the prior year period of
$69,477,000, reflecting the Company's restructuring program including the
conversion of three of its restaurants to tenancies in the third and fourth
quarters of 1995. MGM Grand Australia revenues of $4,715,000 for the nine month
period of 1996 were above the 1995 period by $4,276,000, reflecting the 24-day
operating results for the prior year period.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues for the 1996 nine month period of
$93,529,000 increased by $2,143,000 (2.3%) from $91,386,000 in the prior year
period, reflecting higher MGM Grand Las Vegas rental income as a result of
increased restaurant tenancies and a full nine months of Star Lane Shops mall
operations compared with a half month during the third quarter of 1995. The
improvement was also due to increased EFX revenues in 1996 when compared with a
shortened prior year performance schedule due to the opening of the show during
March 1995. These improvements were partially offset by lower Theme Park
revenues due to lower attendance, and lower revenues in the MGM Grand Garden
Arena reflecting fewer events held during the 1996 period when compared with the
same period in the prior year.

Consolidated operating expense of $450,981,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $10,442,000 (2.3%) lower than the prior year period of
$461,423,000. MGM Grand Las Vegas operating expenses for the 1996 period of
$426,244,000 were $34,195,000 (7.4%) below the prior year period of
$460,439,000, reflecting the conversion of three restaurants to tenancies, a
lower provision for doubtful accounts and discounts reflecting the changes in
anticipated collectibility and the receipt of payments on fully reserved casino
receivables, lower MGM Grand Garden Arena expenses as a result of fewer events
held during the 1996 period, along with lower Theme Park expenses due to the
lower attendance and reduced operating costs. The 1995 period contained a one-
time restructuring charge of $5,942,000. The 1996 operating expense
improvements were partially offset by higher casino taxes based on improved
revenues, higher room expenses due to higher average occupancy, and higher
depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment placed in
service during 1996. MGM Grand Australia operating expenses were $28,678,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing a $27,227,000
increase above the prior year period of $1,451,000 as a result of the 1995 24-
day operating period.

(Continued)


Nine Months versus Nine Months (continued)

Consolidated operating profit before Corporate expense and Master Plan asset
disposition was $147,241,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
reflecting an increase of $80,101,000 (119%) over $67,140,000 for the same
period in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to MGM Grand Las Vegas,
where operating efficiencies and the restructuring plan boosted operating profit
(before Master Plan asset disposition) to $149,128,000, representing an increase
of $82,780,000 (124.8%) over the 1995 period of $66,348,000. MGM Grand Australia
incurred an operating loss for the 1996 period of $1,887,000 when compared with
the prior year operating income of $792,000.

Master Plan asset disposition relates to the write-off of various assets as a
result of the transformation of MGM Grand Las Vegas into "The City of
Entertainment", which resulted in a one-time charge of $49,401,000 (pre-tax) in
the 1996 period (see Note 5).

Corporate expense was $4,810,000 for the nine months of 1996 compared with
$9,214,000 for the same period of 1995. The decrease of $4,404,000 (47.8%) was
due primarily to a reduction of amortization related to the Don King
Productions, Inc. promotion agreement (see Note 4).

Interest income of $3,873,000 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996 increased by $2,503,000 (182.7%) from $1,370,000 in the same period of
1995. The increase was attributable to increased invested average cash balances
at MGM Grand Las Vegas during the 1996 period, reflecting the higher operating
income when compared with the prior year period.

Interest expense (net of capitalized interest) for the nine months of 1996
was $34,008,000 reflecting a decrease of $10,555,000 when compared with
$44,563,000 in the same period of 1995. The significant reduction was due to the
reduction of debt balances and cost of funds attributable to the Offering (see
Note 4), and to the defeasance of the First Mortgage Notes which occurred on
July 3, 1996, as well as the increased capitalization of interest expense in the
1996 period related to various construction projects. The reduction was offset
by the MGM Grand Australia bank loan which was outstanding for a full nine
months of 1996 when compared with 24 days in the prior year period.

Income tax provision of $11,569,000 was recorded at a rate of 18.6% for the
nine month month period ended September 30, 1996, compared with the prior year
period when there was no provision due to the benefit resulting from the
reduction of the valuation allowance.

Extraordinary loss of $30,811,000, net of income tax benefit of $17,710,000,
reflects the loss on defeasance of the $473,000,000 of First Mortgage Notes (see
Note 3).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company held cash and
cash equivalents of $63,017,000 and $110,017,000, respectively. Cash provided by
operating activities for the nine months of 1996 was $168,639,000 compared with
$94,830,000 for the same period of 1995.

On May 6, 1996, MGM Grand Las Vegas announced details of a 30-month,
$250,000,000 Master Plan designed to transform the facility into "The City of
Entertainment". The Master Plan features a series of substantive
improvements and additions throughout its 112-acre destination resort property,
including refurbishment of the lion entry, the porte cochere, casino areas,
luxury suites, parking facilities, and the Theme Park. In addition, new
facilities include a convention center and entertainment/retail complex, and a
second porte cochere entrance. Approximately $20,000,000 is expected to be
expended during 1996 related to the Master Plan, of which $4,965,000 has been
expended through September 30, 1996. During September 1996, the Company wrote
off $49,401,000 (pre-tax) of assets as a result of the implementation of the
Master Plan (see Note 5).

Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1996 were $63,054,000,
consisting primarily of $19,790,000 related to MGM Grand Las Vegas for general
property improvements, $4,965,000 for the Master Plan project, $12,412,000 at
MGM Grand Australia for the renovation program which was completed on June 5,
1996 (including enhanced guest accommodations, public areas, and other property
improvements), $25,673,000 for MGM Grand Atlantic City land purchases, and
$214,000 for furniture and equipment at the Corporate offices. The total capital
expenditures remaining for 1996 associated with general property improvements
and renovations are approximately $58,006,000, with $31,656,000, $15,035,000,
$388,000 and $10,927,000 related to MGM Grand Las Vegas, the Master Plan, MGM
Grand Australia, and MGM Grand Atlantic City, respectively.

On September 20, 1995, bank financing of up to $225,000,000 was completed by
New York-New York. The Facility was increased to $285,000,000 during August
1996. The first draw down occurred on September 30, 1995, and as of September
30, 1996, $247,000,000 had been drawn down under the Facility. Capital lease
financing of up to $30,000,000 is anticipated during the fourth quarter 1996.
Capital contributions of $10,000,000 to New York-New York have been made during
the first nine months of 1996, and up to an additional $25,000,000 is
anticipated during the fourth quarter 1996. The Company will contribute
the additional equity as its share of the amount necessary to complete the
project. As a lender requirement for the project financing, both the Company and
Primadonna were required to enter into a joint and several completion guarantee,
as well as a Keep-Well Agreement (see Note 3).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

None of items 2 through 5 of Part II are applicable.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On April 5, 1996, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California,
County of Los Angeles by Sheldon Gordon and Randy Brant against the Company. On
July 11, 1996, the court entered an order to change venue to the United States
District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada. The suit alleges that the Company breached
an oral joint venture agreement to have real estate developers Gordon/Brant
design and develop a retail and entertainment center at the portion of the
hotel/casino which fronts the Strip. They are suing for $350,000 in costs
advanced in anticipation of the project being constructed, as well as for
damages in excess of $100,000,000 from lost profits that would have resulted
from the project, and damage to their reputations. Management believes that the
claims are totally without merit and does not expect that the lawsuit will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
