     This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D 
(as previously amended, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock, $.01 
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of MGM Grand, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation (the "Company"), previously filed by Mr. Kerkorian and Tracinda 
Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Tracinda"). Terms used herein and not 
defined in this Amendment have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

     1.  Item 2 "Identity and Background" of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended 
         to change the address of Tracinda's executive offices as follows:

              150 Rodeo Drive, Suite 250
              Beverly Hills, California 90212

     2.  Item 4 "Purpose of Transaction" and Item 5 "Interest in Securities of 
         the Issuer" of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended to add the following
         information:

         Pursuant to a tender offer by the Company, which expired on July 31, 
     1998, the Company is acquiring 6,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. As a
     result of such tender offer, the aggregate percentage of Common Stock held
     by Mr. Kerkorian and Tracinda will increase from approximately 62.5% of the
     outstanding shares to approximately 69.7% and the percentage ownership of
     Tracinda will increase to approximately 62.2%. Depending upon market
     conditions and subject to compliance with all applicable laws, Tracinda may
     seek to increase its ownership of Common Stock through purchases in the
     open market, in private transactions, through tender offers or otherwise.
     Tracinda and Mr. Kerkorian do not intend to engage in any transactions
     which would result in the Company's Common Stock being held of record by
     less than 300 persons or not being listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

     3.  Except as specifically provided herein, this amendment does not modify 
         any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
