                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

    Mirage Resorts, Incorporated (the "Registrant" or the "Company") is a Nevada
corporation   incorporated  in  1949.  The   Registrant,  through  wholly  owned
subsidiaries, owns and operates (i)  The Mirage, a hotel-casino and  destination
resort  on the Las  Vegas Strip, (ii)  Treasure Island at  The Mirage ("Treasure
Island"), a hotel-casino resort adjacent to The Mirage, (iii) the Golden Nugget,
a hotel-casino in  downtown Las  Vegas and  (iv) the  Golden Nugget-Laughlin,  a
hotel-casino  in Laughlin,  Nevada. In January  1993, the  Registrant, through a
wholly owned subsidiary, purchased the assets of the former Dunes Hotel,  Casino
and  Country  Club  (the "Dunes")  on  the  Las Vegas  Strip  and  is developing
long-term plans for the site, which include construction of extensive new hotel,
casino and resort facilities.

THE MIRAGE

    The Registrant's wholly owned  subsidiary, THE MIRAGE CASINO-HOTEL  ("MCH"),
owns and operates The Mirage, which opened on November 22, 1989.

    The  Mirage is a luxurious,  tropically themed destination resort containing
approximately 2.7 million square feet in a 29-story Y-shaped hotel tower and  an
expansive  low-rise complex.  The Mirage  features a  95,500-square foot casino,
3,030 hotel rooms (including 265 suites), 14 villa suites, approximately  82,000
square  feet of  meeting, convention  and banquet  space, a  parking garage with
space for approximately 2,200  vehicles, a valet parking  garage with space  for
approximately  1,830 vehicles shared  with Treasure Island,  surface parking for
approximately  1,650  vehicles,   a  1,500-seat   showroom  featuring   top-name
entertainment  (showcasing the world-famous illusionists  Siegfried & Roy), five
international restaurants, a California-style pizza restaurant, a coffee shop, a
buffet, four bars (two of which  feature live entertainment), two snack/  liquor
bars,  an ice cream parlor,  a health spa and beauty  salon, a swimming pool and
cabana area, a white tiger display and extensive retail facilities. The exterior
of the resort is landscaped with palm trees, abundant foliage and more than four
acres of lagoons and other water  features, centered around a 40-foot  simulated
volcano  and waterfall. Each evening, the volcano erupts at 15-minute intervals,
spectacularly illuminating the front of the resort. Inside the front entrance is
an atrium  with a  tropical garden  and additional  water features  capped by  a
150-foot  (in diameter)  glass dome.  The atrium  has an  advanced environmental
control system  and creative  lighting  and other  special effects  designed  to
replicate  the sights, sounds and  fragrances of the South  Seas. Located at the
rear of the hotel, adjacent to the swimming pool area, is a dolphin habitat with
adjoining food, beverage and retail facilities.

    As of March 1, 1994, The Mirage's casino offered 119 table games  (including
blackjack,  craps, roulette,  baccarat, pai gow,  pai gow  poker, Caribbean stud
poker, red  dog  and  big  six),  keno,  poker,  a  race  and  sports  book  and
approximately 2,250 slot machines and other coin-operated devices.

    During  the years  ended December  31, 1993  and 1992,  The Mirage's average
occupancy rates for standard rooms were approximately 98% and 96%, respectively.
These percentages include occupancy on a complimentary basis.

TREASURE ISLAND

    The Registrant, through Treasure Island  Corp. ("TI Corp."), a wholly  owned
subsidiary   of  MCH,  owns  and   operates  Treasure  Island,  a  pirate-themed
hotel-casino resort  located  on the  same  116-acre  site as  The  Mirage  with
approximately  550  feet of  frontage on  the Las  Vegas Strip.  Construction of
Treasure Island commenced in March 1992, and the facility opened on October  26,
1993.

    Treasure  Island  features a  75,000-square foot  casino, 2,900  hotel rooms
(including  212  suites),  a  steak  and  seafood  restaurant,  a   contemporary
Continental  restaurant, an Italian specialties grill,  a coffee shop, a buffet,
three snack bars, an ice  cream parlor, four bars  (three of which feature  live
entertainment),   a  1,500-seat   showroom  featuring   an  all-new  production,
"Mystere," developed by the creators of the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil, and
an 18,000-square foot  amusement arcade. Treasure  Island also offers  extensive
retail  facilities,  approximately 18,000  square  feet of  meeting  and banquet
space, two wedding

                                       1
<PAGE>
chapels, a swimming pool with a 230-foot mountain water slide, a parking  garage
with  space for approximately 2,400 vehicles and the valet parking garage shared
with The Mirage. The facade of Treasure Island, fronting on the Las Vegas Strip,
is an elaborate pirate village in which full-scale replicas of a pirate ship and
a British frigate periodically engage in  a pyrotechnic and special effects  sea
battle,  culminating with the  sinking of the  frigate. Management believes that
the pirate-themed features of  Treasure Island and its  proximity to The  Mirage
make it a "must see" attraction for Las Vegas visitors and local residents.

    As  of  March  1, 1994,  Treasure  Island's  casino offered  79  table games
(including blackjack,  craps,  roulette,  baccarat,  pai  gow,  pai  gow  poker,
Caribbean  stud poker  and big  six), keno,  poker, a  race and  sports book and
approximately 2,260 slot machines and other coin-operated devices.

    From its  opening  through  December 31,  1993,  Treasure  Island's  average
occupancy  rate  for  standard  rooms  was  approximately  97%.  This percentage
includes occupancy on a complimentary basis.

GOLDEN NUGGET

    The Registrant's wholly  owned subsidiary,  GNLV, CORP.  ("GNLV"), owns  and
operates  the  Golden  Nugget,  a  hotel-casino  which,  together  with  parking
facilities, occupies approximately 2  1/2 square blocks  in downtown Las  Vegas.
The  Golden  Nugget  features a  38,000-square  foot casino,  1,907  hotel rooms
(including 102 suites), two international restaurants, a California-style  pizza
restaurant,  a coffee shop, a buffet, a  snack bar, three bars, an entertainment
lounge, a ballroom/showroom,  approximately 23,000  square feet  of meeting  and
banquet  space,  two  gift  and  retail  shops,  two  hotel  lobbies  with guest
registration facilities, a swimming pool and lounge area, a health spa, a beauty
salon and two parking garages with space for approximately 1,050 vehicles.

    As of  March 1,  1994, the  Golden Nugget's  casino offered  69 table  games
(including  blackjack,  craps,  roulette,  baccarat,  pai  gow,  pai  gow poker,
Caribbean stud poker, red  dog and big  six), keno, a race  and sports book  and
approximately 1,300 slot machines and other coin-operated devices.

    During  the  years ended  December 31,  1993 and  1992, the  Golden Nugget's
average occupancy  rates for  standard  rooms were  approximately 97%  and  94%,
respectively. These percentages include occupancy on a complimentary basis.

GOLDEN NUGGET-LAUGHLIN

    The  Registrant's  wholly owned  subsidiary,  GNL, CORP.  ("GNL"),  owns and
operates the Golden  Nugget-Laughlin, a  hotel-casino in  Laughlin, Nevada.  The
hotel-casino is located on approximately 13 acres with approximately 600 feet of
Colorado  River  frontage near  the center  of Laughlin's  existing hotel-casino
facilities. The Golden Nugget-Laughlin includes a two-story low-rise featuring a
32,000-square foot  casino,  three  restaurants, three  bars,  an  entertainment
lounge,  a snack  bar and  a gift  and retail  shop. The  hotel is  a four-story
structure located adjacent  to the  low-rise containing 296  standard rooms  and
four  suites. Other facilities at the  Golden Nugget-Laughlin include a swimming
pool, a parking garage with space  for approximately 1,585 vehicles adjacent  to
the  low-rise and approximately  four and one-half acres  of surface parking for
recreational vehicles.  The  hotel  and  a 50%  expansion  of  the  casino  were
completed  in  December 1992.  GNL also  owns  and operates  a 78-room  motel in
Bullhead City, Arizona, across the Colorado River from Laughlin.

    As of March 1,  1994, the Golden Nugget-Laughlin's  casino offered 20  table
games  (including blackjack, craps,  roulette, pai gow  poker and Caribbean stud
poker), approximately 1,300 slot machines and other coin-operated devices,  keno
and a race and sports book.

IGUAZU FALLS, ARGENTINA CASINO VENTURE

    The  Registrant,  through  a  wholly owned  subsidiary,  owns  a  50% equity
interest  in  Mirage  Universal  de  Misiones  S.A.,  an  Argentine  corporation
("MUMSA").  In  February 1994,  MUMSA was  awarded a  15-year concession  by the
Province of Misiones, Argentina to develop, own and operate a casino near Iguazu
Falls, Argentina. The Registrant's total investment in the venture of $4 million
was contributed  in January  1994. The  casino is  initially expected  to  offer
approximately  15 table games, 120 slot  machines and food and beverage service.
It is anticipated that the casino will  be opened to the public in mid-1994  and
will be managed principally by one of the other stockholders of MUMSA.

                                       2
<PAGE>
FUTURE EXPANSION

    In  January  1993,  the  Registrant,  through  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
completed the purchase for $70 million of the land, buildings and certain  other
assets  comprising the Dunes. The Dunes site consists of approximately 164 acres
situated on the  Las Vegas  Strip between  Flamingo Road  and Tropicana  Avenue.
Pursuant  to  the terms  of the  purchase agreement,  the seller  terminated all
operations of the  Dunes prior to  the closing of  the purchase. The  Registrant
reopened  the Dunes golf  course to the  public in February  1993 as "The Mirage
Golf Club" and intends to  operate it at least  until the commencement of  major
construction at the site.

    The  Registrant is developing long-term plans  for the Dunes property, which
include construction of extensive new  hotel, casino and resort facilities.  The
scope  and timing of such a project are still uncertain, but management does not
currently anticipate breaking  ground on  any major construction  prior to  late
1994  or completing such construction  prior to late 1996.  In October 1993, the
Registrant imploded the north hotel  tower of the Dunes  as part of the  opening
ceremonies  for Treasure Island. The  implosion received worldwide news coverage
and was featured  in a  one-hour fictional  television special  produced by  the
Registrant   which  aired  on  network  television  in  January  1994.  Assuming
development of the Dunes  property as presently contemplated,  the cost of  such
development  is expected to be in excess  of, and may significantly exceed, $500
million. There can be no assurance that the Registrant will determine to proceed
with such a project, that financing  will be available on terms satisfactory  to
the  Registrant  or that  the project,  if constructed,  will be  profitable. In
addition, there  can  be  no  assurance that  the  Registrant  will  obtain  the
requisite   approvals,  permits,  allocations  and  licenses,  including  gaming
licenses, or  that  such approvals,  permits,  allocations or  licenses  can  be
obtained on a timely basis.

    The  Registrant  regularly  evaluates and  pursues  potential  expansion and
acquisition opportunities in both the  domestic and international markets.  Such
opportunities  may include the ownership, management and operation of gaming and
other entertainment facilities  in states other  than Nevada or  outside of  the
United  States, either alone or with  joint venture partners. The Registrant has
presented a large number  of formal and informal  proposals to develop, own  and
operate  gaming facilities in new and potential gaming jurisdictions, several of
which proposals  are currently  outstanding. Development  and operation  of  any
gaming  facility in  a new  jurisdiction is  subject to  numerous contingencies,
several of which  are outside of  the Registrant's control  and may include  the
enactment  of appropriate gaming legislation, the issuance of requisite permits,
licenses and approvals and  the satisfaction of  other conditions. In  addition,
some  of the expansions being proposed  require a substantial capital investment
by the  Registrant  and may  require  significant  financing. There  can  be  no
assurance  that  such  financing can  be  obtained  on terms  acceptable  to the
Registrant, that the  Registrant will elect  or be able  to consummate any  such
acquisition or expansion opportunity outside of Nevada or that the operations of
any such venture will be profitable.

MARKETING

    Operations  at the Registrant's hotel-casinos are  conducted 24 hours a day,
every day of the year. The Registrant  does not consider its Las Vegas  business
to  be highly  seasonal. The  Registrant considers  its Laughlin  business to be
seasonal, with the greatest  level of activity occurring  during the spring  and
fall months and the lowest during December, January and the summer months.

    The  Registrant's revenues  and operating  income depend  primarily upon the
level of gaming activity at its  casinos, although the Registrant also seeks  to
maximize  revenues  from food  and beverage,  lodging, entertainment  and retail
operations. Therefore, the primary goal of the Registrant's marketing efforts is
to attract gaming customers to its casinos.

    The principal segments  of the  Nevada gaming  market are  tour and  travel,
leisure  travel, high-level  wagerers and conventions  (including small meetings
and corporate incentive  programs). The  Registrant believes  that The  Mirage's
hotel  occupancy  and  gaming  revenues  can  be  maximized  through  a balanced
marketing approach addressing  each market segment.  The Registrant's  marketing
strategy  for  Treasure Island  and  the Golden  Nugget  is aimed  at attracting
middle-to upper-middle-income wagerers  primarily from the  tour and travel  and
leisure  travel segments. The Registrant believes that the success of its hotel-
casinos is also affected by the level of walk-in customers and, accordingly, has
designed these facilities to maximize their attraction to these patrons.

                                       3
<PAGE>
    The tour and travel segment consists of gaming customers who take  advantage
of  travel  "packages"  produced  by  wholesale  operators.  The  Registrant has
relationships with  wholesalers selected  on the  basis of  market  penetration,
reputation  and commitment. Tour and travel trade emphasizes mid-week occupancy,
as compared with the regionally based leisure travel segment, which is primarily
weekend-oriented. The Registrant  has developed  specialized marketing  programs
for  the tour  and travel  market. The  Registrant has  also developed important
relationships with, and programs  for, certain of the  major air carriers  which
have their own wholesale tour and travel operations.

    The  leisure travel segment is largely  composed of individuals traveling to
Las Vegas  from  the regional  market,  primarily Southern  California  and  the
Southwest,  by automobile  and, to  a lesser  extent, by  airplane. This segment
represents  a  significant  portion  of  the  customers  for  the   Registrant's
facilities. As with the tour and travel business, The Mirage aims to attract the
upper-middle  and  higher-income  strata of  this  segment, while  the  focus of
Treasure Island and the  Golden Nugget is  on the middle-to  upper-middle-income
strata  of the leisure travel segment. To  this end, the Registrant has utilized
substantial media advertising (particularly radio and television commercials and
billboards) emphasizing  the amenities,  the atmosphere  of excitement  and  the
relative  value offered by  the facilities. The  Registrant also participates in
joint advertising and marketing programs with selected air carriers and benefits
from personal referrals and its high public profile.

    The Registrant markets to  the high-level-wagerer segment primarily  through
direct  sales,  using its  19 marketing  offices  located in  a number  of major
domestic  and  foreign  cities.  Special  entertainment  and  other  events  and
programs,  including golf privileges at Shadow  Creek as discussed below and the
presentation of major professional boxing  matches, together with the  provision
of  complimentary  rooms,  food  and beverage  and  air  transportation  and the
extension of  gaming credit,  are offered  to attract  high-level wagerers.  The
Registrant  employs  several marketing  executives  who have  extensive customer
relationships in certain  areas of Asia,  Latin America and  Canada, as well  as
casino hosts from many of the countries to which international marketing efforts
are directed.

    Convention business, like the tour and travel segment, is mid-week oriented,
and  is a major target  for The Mirage, with its  82,000 square feet of meeting,
convention  and  banquet  space.  The  Mirage  seeks  those  conventions   whose
participants  have the best  gaming profile. Treasure Island's  and a portion of
The Mirage's convention business is derived from small corporate meetings (those
requiring less  than  500 rooms  per  night) and  corporate  incentive  programs
(travel  packages produced  by independent  "incentive houses"  for corporations
desiring to motivate their employees and reward them for superior  performance).
Since  the Golden Nugget's facilities  are inadequate to accommodate conventions
requiring more than  200 rooms per  night, its  focus on this  segment has  been
limited  to  smaller groups  and "spill-over"  business from  larger conventions
headquartered at other facilities, including The Mirage.

    As discussed under  "Future Expansion," the  Registrant recently opened  The
Mirage  Golf Club at the Dunes site. The Registrant makes reduced green fees and
preferential tee  times at  The Mirage  Golf  Club available  to guests  of  its
hotels. Management believes that The Mirage Golf Club has been beneficial to the
Registrant's marketing efforts.

    Walk-in  customers are those  who patronize a facility's  casino but are not
guests of its  hotel. The Mirage  and Treasure Island,  which are  strategically
located  on the Las  Vegas Strip, have  been designed to  attract walk-in casino
business.

    The  Golden   Nugget-Laughlin  appeals   primarily  to   patrons  from   the
middle-income   strata   of   the   gaming   populace.   Many   of   the  Golden
Nugget-Laughlin's customers, particularly  those who  arrive on  bus tours,  are
older  and retired individuals  who are attracted by  lodging, food and beverage
and entertainment prices  that are  generally lower  than those  offered by  the
major Las Vegas hotel-casinos. Many are also attracted by lower minimum wagering
limits  and higher slot machine paybacks than  those prevalent in Las Vegas, and
by  their  perception  that  Laughlin   offers  a  more  "relaxed"  gaming   and
recreational atmosphere. The predominant portion of the Golden Nugget-Laughlin's
casino  revenues is derived  from slot machine play.  During 1993, slot revenues
accounted for approximately  87% of  its total casino  revenues. Convention  and
high-level-wagerer patrons do not comprise a significant segment of the Laughlin
gaming market.

                                       4
<PAGE>
    The Registrant, through a wholly owned subsidiary of MCH, owns approximately
315  acres of real property  located approximately 10 miles  north of The Mirage
and Treasure Island and  five miles north of  the Golden Nugget. The  Registrant
has  developed a world-class 18-hole golf course and related facilities known as
"Shadow Creek" on  approximately 80% of  such property. In  connection with  its
marketing  activities, the  Registrant makes  the course  and related facilities
available for use, by invitation only, by high-level-wagerer patrons.

CREDIT

    Credit play represents a  significant portion of the  table games volume  at
The  Mirage. The Registrant's  other facilities do not  emphasize credit play to
the same extent as The Mirage, although credit is made available.

    The Registrant maintains  strict controls  over the issuance  of credit  and
aggressively  pursues collection  of its  customer receivables.  Such collection
efforts parallel those procedures commonly followed by most large  corporations,
including  the mailing of statements and delinquency notices, personal and other
contacts, the use of an outside collection agency, civil litigation and criminal
prosecution, if warranted. Nevada gaming  debts evidenced by credit  instruments
are  enforceable under  the laws  of Nevada.  All other  states are  required to
enforce a judgment on a gaming debt entered in Nevada pursuant to the Full Faith
and Credit  Clause  of the  Unites  States Constitution  and,  although  foreign
countries  are not so bound, the United  States assets of foreign debtors may be
reached to satisfy a judgment entered in the United States.

SUPERVISION OF GAMING ACTIVITIES

    In connection with the supervision of gaming activities at its casinos,  the
Registrant  maintains stringent  controls on the  recording of  all receipts and
disbursements. These audit and cash controls include the following: locked  cash
boxes;  personnel independent of casino operations to perform the daily cash and
coin counts; floor  observation of the  gaming area; observation  of gaming  and
certain  other  areas through  the  use of  closed-circuit  television; computer
tabulation of receipts and disbursements for each of the slot machines and table
games;  and  timely  analysis  of   discrepancies  or  deviations  from   normal
performance.

INSURANCE AND FIRE SAFETY MEASURES

    The  Registrant maintains  extensive property  damage, business interruption
and general liability insurance. Safety  and protection have been, and  continue
to  be, of maximum concern in the construction and expansion of the Registrant's
facilities. The  Mirage, Treasure  Island, the  high-rise towers  of the  Golden
Nugget  and  the  Golden  Nugget-Laughlin were  constructed  pursuant  to modern
stringent fire  codes, and  generally exceed  such codes.  The Mirage,  Treasure
Island  and the Golden Nugget is each  rated by insurance companies as a "highly
protected risk."

COMPETITION

    The Mirage, Treasure Island and the Golden Nugget each compete with a number
of other hotel-casinos in Las Vegas. Currently, there are approximately 27 major
hotel-casinos located on or near the  Las Vegas Strip, nine major  hotel-casinos
located  in the downtown area and  several major facilities located elsewhere in
the Las Vegas  area. During 1993  (principally during the  fourth quarter),  Las
Vegas  hotel and motel room capacity increased by approximately 10,300 rooms, to
a total of approximately 83,700 rooms. This increase includes the effect of  the
opening of Treasure Island and two other major Strip hotel-casinos in the fourth
quarter.

    Management  believes that the primary competition  for The Mirage comes from
other large hotel-casinos located on or near the Strip that offer amenities  and
marketing  programs that appeal to the  upper-middle and higher-income strata of
the gaming  populace. The  Mirage competes  on  the basis  of the  elegance  and
excitement  offered  by  the facility,  the  desirability of  its  location, the
quality and relative  value of  its hotel  rooms and  restaurants, its  top-name
entertainment,  customer service,  its balanced  marketing strategy  and special
marketing and promotional programs.

    Management believes that Treasure Island  primarily competes with the  other
large  hotel-casinos  located on  or  near the  Strip  that offer  amenities and
marketing programs that appeal to the middle-to-

                                       5
<PAGE>
upper-middle-income strata of the gaming  populace. Treasure Island competes  on
the  basis  of the  entertainment and  excitement offered  by the  facility, the
desirability of  its  location (including  its  proximity to  The  Mirage),  the
affordability of its hotel rooms, the variety, quality and attractive pricing of
its  food and  beverage outlets,  its unique  showroom and  innovative amusement
area, customer service and its marketing and promotional programs.

    In management's opinion, the Golden Nugget primarily competes with the large
hotel-casinos  located  on  or  near  the  Strip,  particularly  those  offering
amenities  and  marketing  programs  that  appeal  primarily  to  the middle-and
upper-middle-income strata of  the gaming populace.  The Golden Nugget  competes
for  gaming  customers primarily  on  the basis  of  the elegance,  intimacy and
excitement offered by the facility, the quality and relative value of its  hotel
rooms  and  restaurants,  customer  service and  its  marketing  and promotional
programs. In order to compete more  effectively with the Strip hotel-casinos,  a
coalition  of several  major downtown  Las Vegas  hotel-casino owners (including
GNLV), in conjunction  with the  City of Las  Vegas, is  developing The  Fremont
Street  Experience,  a  major  tourist  attraction  in  the  downtown  area. See
"Management's Discussion  and Analysis  of Financial  Condition and  Results  of
Operations" included in Item 7 of Part II of this Form 10-K.

    The  Golden Nugget-Laughlin competes with eight nearby hotel-casinos. During
1993, the number of available hotel rooms in Laughlin increased by approximately
1,100 rooms, to a total of approximately 10,300 rooms.

    The Registrant's facilities also  compete for gaming  customers to a  lesser
extent  with hotel-casino operations located in  other areas of Nevada, Atlantic
City, New  Jersey  and  other  parts  of  the  world.  They  also  compete  with
state-sponsored  lotteries,  off-track  wagering,  card  parlors,  riverboat and
Indian gaming ventures and other forms of legalized gaming in the United States,
as well as with gaming on cruise ships. Certain states have recently  legalized,
and  several other states  are currently considering  legalizing, casino gaming.
Management does not  believe that such  legalization of casino  gaming in  those
jurisdictions   will  have  a  material   adverse  impact  on  the  Registrant's
operations. However, management  believes that the  legalization of  large-scale
land-based   casino  gaming  in  or   near  certain  major  metropolitan  areas,
particularly in California,  could have  a material  adverse effect  on the  Las
Vegas  market. The  competitive impact  of Treasure  Island on  the Registrant's
other hotel-casinos  cannot yet  be fully  determined, but  Treasure Island  may
attract customers who would otherwise patronize these facilities.

EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS

    As  of March 1, 1994, the  Registrant and its subsidiaries had approximately
14,600 full-time and 2,400 part-time employees. At that date, the Registrant had
collective bargaining contracts with unions covering approximately 7,700 of  its
Las  Vegas employees, which expire in May 1994. The Registrant is in the process
of negotiating with respect  to the renewal of  such contracts. Although  unions
have been active in Las Vegas, management considers its employee relations to be
excellent.

REGULATION AND LICENSING

    The  ownership  and  operation of  casino  gaming facilities  in  Nevada are
subject to (i)  the Nevada Gaming  Control Act and  the regulations  promulgated
thereunder  (collectively, the "Nevada  Act") and (ii)  various local ordinances
and regulations. The Registrant's gaming operations are subject to the licensing
and  regulatory  control   of  the   Nevada  Gaming   Commission  (the   "Nevada
Commission"),  the Nevada State  Gaming Control Board  (the "Nevada Board"), the
City of Las Vegas and  the Clark County Liquor  and Gaming Licensing Board  (the
"Clark  County Board"). The Nevada Commission, the Nevada Board, the City of Las
Vegas and the  Clark County Board  are collectively referred  to as the  "Nevada
Gaming Authorities." To the best knowledge of management, the Registrant and its
subsidiaries  are  presently in  material compliance  with all  applicable laws,
regulations and supervisory procedures described herein.

    The laws,  regulations  and  supervisory procedures  of  the  Nevada  Gaming
Authorities  are based  upon declarations of  public policy  which are concerned
with, among other things: (i) the  prevention of unsavory or unsuitable  persons
from  having a direct or indirect involvement with  gaming at any time or in any
capacity; (ii)  the  establishment  and maintenance  of  responsible  accounting
practices  and procedures; (iii) the maintenance  of effective controls over the
financial  practices  of  licensees,  including  the  establishment  of  minimum

                                       6
<PAGE>
procedures  for  internal  fiscal affairs  and  the safeguarding  of  assets and
revenues, providing reliable record keeping and requiring the filing of periodic
reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities; (iv) the prevention of cheating  and
fraudulent  practices; and  (v) providing a  source of state  and local revenues
through taxation  and  licensing fees.  Change  in such  laws,  regulations  and
procedures could have an adverse effect on the Registrant's gaming operations.

    The  Registrant's  direct  and  indirect  subsidiaries  that  conduct gaming
operations are required  to be licensed  by the Nevada  Gaming Authorities.  The
gaming  licenses require  the periodic  payment of  fees and  taxes and  are not
transferable. MCH is registered  as an intermediary company  and has been  found
suitable  to own  the stock of  TI Corp. MCH  has also been  licensed to conduct
nonrestricted gaming operations  at The Mirage.  TI Corp. has  been licensed  to
conduct  nonrestricted  gaming  operations  at Treasure  Island.  GNLV  has been
registered as an  intermediary company and  has been found  suitable to own  the
stock  of Golden  Nugget Manufacturing  Corp. ("GNMC"),  its inactive subsidiary
which is licensed as a manufacturer and distributor of gaming devices. GNLV  has
also  been licensed  to conduct  nonrestricted gaming  operations at  the Golden
Nugget. GNL has been licensed to conduct nonrestricted gaming operations at  the
Golden  Nugget-Laughlin. MR Realty, MRI's subsidiary  which owns the Dunes site,
has been licensed  to conduct restricted  gaming operations at  The Mirage  Golf
Club. The Registrant is registered by the Nevada Commission as a publicly traded
corporation  (a "Registered Corporation") and has been found suitable to own the
stock of MCH, GNLV and GNL, each of which, together with TI Corp., MR Realty and
GNMC,  is  a  corporate  licensee  (individually,  a  "Gaming  Subsidiary"   and
collectively, the "Gaming Subsidiaries") under the Nevada Act.

    As  a  Registered Corporation,  the Registrant  is required  periodically to
submit detailed financial  and operating  reports to the  Nevada Commission  and
furnish any other information which the Nevada Commission may require. No person
may  become a  stockholder of,  or receive any  percentage of  profits from, the
Gaming Subsidiaries  without first  obtaining licenses  and approvals  from  the
Nevada  Gaming  Authorities. The  Registrant  and the  Gaming  Subsidiaries have
obtained  from  the  Nevada   Gaming  Authorities  the  various   registrations,
approvals, permits and licenses required in order to engage in gaming activities
in  Nevada. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has
a material relationship to, or material involvement with, the Registrant or  the
Gaming Subsidiaries in order to determine whether such individual is suitable or
should  be  licensed as  a business  associate of  a gaming  licensee. Officers,
directors and  certain  key  employees  of the  Gaming  Subsidiaries  must  file
applications  with  the Nevada  Gaming  Authorities and  may  be required  to be
licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Officers, directors
and key employees of  the Registrant who are  actively and directly involved  in
gaming  activities of the Gaming Subsidiaries may  be required to be licensed or
found suitable by the Nevada  Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming  Authorities
may  deny an application for licensing for any cause which they deem reasonable.
A finding of suitability is comparable to licensing, and both require submission
of  detailed  personal  and  financial   information  followed  by  a   thorough
investigation.  The applicant for licensing or a finding of suitability must pay
all the  costs of  the  investigation. Changes  in  licensed positions  must  be
reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities, and in addition to their authority to
deny an application for a finding of suitability or licensure, the Nevada Gaming
Authorities have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position.

    If  the Nevada Gaming Authorities  were to find an  officer, director or key
employee  unsuitable  for   licensing  or  unsuitable   to  continue  having   a
relationship  with  the Registrant  or  the Gaming  Subsidiaries,  the companies
involved would have to  sever all relationships with  such person. In  addition,
the  Nevada Commission may require the  Registrant or the Gaming Subsidiaries to
terminate  the  employment  of  any  person  who  refuses  to  file  appropriate
applications.  Determinations  of  suitability  or  of  questions  pertaining to
licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada.

    The Registrant, MCH, GNLV, GNL and TI Corp. are required to submit  detailed
financial  and  operating reports  to the  Nevada Commission.  Substantially all
material loans, leases, sales of  securities and similar financing  transactions
entered  into by MCH, GNLV, GNL  or TI Corp. must be  reported to or approved by
the Nevada Commission.

                                       7
<PAGE>
    If it  were  determined  that  the  Nevada Act  was  violated  by  a  Gaming
Subsidiary,  the licenses it  holds could be  limited, conditioned, suspended or
revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory procedures.
In addition, the Registrant,  the Gaming Subsidiaries  and the persons  involved
could  be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada
Act at the discretion of the  Nevada Commission. Further, a supervisor could  be
appointed  by the Nevada Commission to  operate The Mirage, Treasure Island, the
Golden Nugget and the Golden  Nugget-Laughlin and, under certain  circumstances,
earnings   generated  during  the  supervisor's   appointment  (except  for  the
reasonable rental  value of  the casino)  could  be forfeited  to the  State  of
Nevada. Limitation, conditioning or suspension of the gaming license of a Gaming
Subsidiary  or  the appointment  of a  supervisor could  (and revocation  of any
gaming license  would)  materially  adversely  affect  the  Registrant's  gaming
operations.

    Any  beneficial holder of the  Registrant's voting securities, regardless of
the number  of  shares  owned,  may  be required  to  file  an  application,  be
investigated and have his suitability as a beneficial holder of the Registrant's
voting securities determined if the Nevada Commission has reason to believe that
such  ownership would be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of
Nevada. The applicant must pay all costs of investigation incurred by the Nevada
Gaming Authorities in conducting any such investigation.

    The Nevada Act requires any person who acquires more than 5% of a Registered
Corporation's  voting  securities  to  report  the  acquisition  to  the  Nevada
Commission. The Nevada Act requires that beneficial owners of more than 10% of a
Registered  Corporation's voting securities apply to the Nevada Commission for a
finding of suitability  within 30 days  after the Chairman  of the Nevada  Board
mails  a written notice  requiring such filing.  Under certain circumstances, an
"institutional investor," as defined in the Nevada Act, which acquires more than
10%, but not more than 15%, of a Registered Corporation's voting securities  may
apply  to the  Nevada Commission  for a  waiver of  such finding  of suitability
requirement if  such  institutional investor  holds  the voting  securities  for
investment  purposes only. An institutional investor shall not be deemed to hold
voting securities  for investment  purposes unless  the voting  securities  were
acquired  and are held  in the ordinary  course of business  as an institutional
investor and  not  for the  purpose  of  causing, directly  or  indirectly,  the
election  of  a  majority  of the  members  of  the board  of  directors  of the
Registered Corporation, any change in the corporate charter, bylaws, management,
policies or  operations of  the  Registered Corporation  or  any of  its  gaming
affiliates  or  any  other  action  which  the  Nevada  Commission  finds  to be
inconsistent with  holding the  Registered Corporation's  voting securities  for
investment  purposes only.  Activities which are  not deemed  to be inconsistent
with holding voting securities for investment purposes only include: (i)  voting
on  all  matters  voted on  by  stockholders;  (ii) making  financial  and other
inquiries of management  of the type  normally made by  securities analysts  for
informational  purposes and not to cause a change in its management, policies or
operations; and  (iii)  such  other  activities as  the  Nevada  Commission  may
determine  to be consistent with  such investment intent. The  City of Las Vegas
requires 10% stockholders  to be licensed.  If the beneficial  holder of  voting
securities who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership or trust, it
must  submit detailed  business and financial  information, including  a list of
beneficial owners. The applicant is required to pay all costs of investigation.

    Any person who fails or refuses to  apply for a finding of suitability or  a
license  within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Commission or
the Chairman of the Nevada Board may be found unsuitable. The same  restrictions
apply  to a record owner  if the record owner,  after request, fails to identify
the beneficial owner. Any  stockholder found unsuitable  who holds, directly  or
indirectly,  any beneficial ownership of the  common stock beyond such period of
time as may be prescribed by the  Nevada Commission may be guilty of a  criminal
offense.  The Registrant is subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives
notice that a  person is unsuitable  to be a  stockholder or to  have any  other
relationship  with the Registrant or the Gaming Subsidiaries, the Registrant (i)
pays such  person  any  dividend  or interest  upon  voting  securities  of  the
Registrant,  (ii) allows  such person to  exercise, directly  or indirectly, any
voting right  conferred  through securities  held  by that  person,  (iii)  pays
remuneration  in any form to  such person for services  rendered or otherwise or
(iv) fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require such person to relinquish his
voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of the  voting
securities  for cash at fair market  value. Additionally, the Clark County Board
has taken the position that it has  the authority to approve all persons  owning
or controlling the stock of any corporation controlling a gaming licensee.

                                       8
<PAGE>
    The Nevada Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any debt
security  of a Registered Corporation to  file applications, be investigated and
be found suitable to own the debt security. If the Nevada Commission  determines
that  a person is unsuitable  to own such security,  then pursuant to the Nevada
Act, the Registered  Corporation can be  sanctioned, including the  loss of  its
approvals,  if without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission, it: (i) pays
to the unsuitable person any dividend, interest or any distribution  whatsoever;
(ii)  recognizes any voting  right by such unsuitable  person in connection with
such securities; (iii) pays the unsuitable  person remuneration in any form;  or
(iv) makes any payment to the unsuitable person by way of principal, redemption,
conversion, exchange, liquidation or similar transaction.

    The  Registrant is  required to  maintain a  current stock  ledger in Nevada
which may be  examined by  the Nevada  Gaming Authorities  at any  time. If  any
securities  are held in trust  by an agent or nominee,  the record holder may be
required to disclose the identity of  the beneficial owner to the Nevada  Gaming
Authorities.  A failure to make  such disclosure may be  grounds for finding the
record holder  unsuitable. The  Registrant is  also required  to render  maximum
assistance  in  determining the  identity of  the  beneficial owner.  The Nevada
Commission has the power to require the Registrant's stock certificates to  bear
a  legend indicating that the securities are subject to the Nevada Act. To date,
the Nevada Commission has not imposed such a requirement on the Registrant.

    The Registrant may not make a public offering of its securities without  the
prior  approval of the Nevada Commission if the securities or proceeds therefrom
are intended to be  used to construct, acquire  or finance gaming facilities  in
Nevada or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes. On May 27,
1993, the Nevada Commission granted the Registrant prior approval to make public
offerings  for a period of  one year, subject to  certain conditions (the "Shelf
Approval"). However, the Shelf Approval may be rescinded for good cause  without
prior notice upon the issuance of an interlocutory stop order by the Chairman of
the  Nevada Board.  The Shelf  Approval also  applies to  any affiliated company
wholly owned  by the  Registrant (an  "Affiliate") which  is a  publicly  traded
corporation  or would thereby become a publicly traded corporation pursuant to a
public offering.  The  Shelf Approval  also  includes approval  for  the  Gaming
Subsidiaries to guarantee any security issued by, or to hypothecate their assets
to  secure  the  payment  or  performance  of  any  obligations  issued  by, the
Registrant or an Affiliate  in a public offering  under the Shelf Approval.  The
Shelf  Approval does not constitute a finding, recommendation or approval by the
Nevada Commission or  the Nevada Board  as to  the accuracy or  adequacy of  the
prospectus   or   the  investment   merits  of   the  securities   offered.  Any
representation to  the  contrary  is  unlawful.  The  Registrant  has  filed  an
application  for a renewal of  the Shelf Approval, which  it anticipates will be
considered by the Nevada Board and the Nevada Commission in May 1994.

    Changes in control of the Registrant through merger, consolidation, stock or
asset acquisitions, management or consulting agreements or any act or conduct by
a person whereby he obtains control may not occur without the prior approval  of
the  Nevada  Commission. Entities  seeking to  acquire  control of  a Registered
Corporation must satisfy the Nevada Board and Nevada Commission with respect  to
a  variety of stringent  standards prior to assuming  control of such Registered
Corporation. The Nevada  Commission may also  require controlling  stockholders,
officers,  directors  and  other  persons  having  a  material  relationship  or
involvement with the entity proposing to acquire control to be investigated  and
licensed as part of the approval process relating to the transaction.

    The Nevada Legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed
by  management, repurchases of voting securities and corporate defensive tactics
affecting Nevada corporate  gaming licensees, and  Registered Corporations  that
are  affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to stable and productive
corporate gaming. The Nevada Commission  has established a regulatory scheme  to
ameliorate  the  potentially adverse  effects of  these business  practices upon
Nevada's gaming  industry and  to further  Nevada's policy  to: (i)  assure  the
financial  stability of  corporate gaming  licensees and  their affiliates; (ii)
preserve the beneficial aspects  of conducting business  in the corporate  form;
and  (iii) promote a neutral environment for the orderly governance of corporate
affairs. Approvals  are,  in certain  circumstances,  required from  the  Nevada
Commission before the Registered Corporation can make exceptional repurchases of
voting  securities above the current market price thereof and before a corporate
acquisition opposed  by  management can  be  consummated. The  Nevada  Act  also
requires prior approval of a plan of

                                       9
<PAGE>
recapitalization  proposed by the Registered Corporation's board of directors in
response to  a  tender  offer  made directly  to  the  Registered  Corporation's
stockholders for the purpose of acquiring control of the Registered Corporation.

    License  fees and taxes, computed  in various ways depending  on the type of
gaming or activity involved,  are payable to  the State of  Nevada and to  Clark
County  and the City of Las Vegas,  in which the Gaming Subsidiaries' respective
operations are conducted.  Depending upon  the particular fee  or tax  involved,
these  fees and taxes are payable either  monthly, quarterly or annually and are
based upon either:  (i) a percentage  of the gross  revenues received; (ii)  the
number  of gaming devices operated; or (iii) the number of table games operated.
A casino entertainment tax is also paid by casino operations where entertainment
is furnished in  connection with  the selling  of food  or refreshments.  Nevada
licensees  that hold  a manufacturer's or  distributor's license,  such as GNMC,
also pay certain fees to the State of Nevada.

    Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to
be registered  or  is under  common  control with  such  persons  (collectively,
"Licensees"), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming venture outside of
Nevada, is required to deposit with the Nevada Board, and thereafter maintain, a
revolving  fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the expenses of investigation by
the Nevada Board of its participation in such foreign gaming. The revolving fund
is subject to increase or decrease  at the discretion of the Nevada  Commission.
Thereafter, Licensees are required to comply with certain reporting requirements
imposed  by the Nevada Act. Licensees are also subject to disciplinary action by
the Nevada  Commission  if  they  knowingly violate  any  laws  of  the  foreign
jurisdiction  pertaining to  the foreign gaming  operation, fail  to conduct the
foreign gaming  operation  in  accordance  with the  standards  of  honesty  and
integrity  required of Nevada  gaming operations, engage  in activities that are
harmful to the State of Nevada or  its ability to collect gaming taxes and  fees
or  employ a person  in the foreign operation  who has been  denied a license or
finding of suitability in Nevada on the ground of personal unsuitability.

    The sale of alcoholic beverages at  The Mirage, Treasure Island, the  Golden
Nugget-Laughlin and The Mirage Golf Club, and the sale of alcoholic beverages at
the Golden Nugget, are subject to licensing, control and regulation by the Clark
County Board and the City of Las Vegas, respectively. All licenses are revocable
and  are  not transferable.  The  agencies involved  have  full power  to limit,
condition, suspend or revoke any such license, and any such disciplinary  action
could (and revocation would) have a material adverse effect on the operations of
the Gaming Subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

    The Mirage and Treasure Island share an approximately 116-acre site owned by
the  Registrant on the Las  Vegas Strip. At March 15,  1994, both The Mirage and
Treasure Island  were subject  to  aggregate encumbrances  approximating  $396.0
million,  including amounts based  upon the accreted value  of zero coupon first
mortgage notes.

    The Golden  Nugget,  including parking  facilities,  occupies  approximately
seven   and  one-half  acres  in  downtown   Las  Vegas.  The  improvements  and
approximately 90% of the underlying land  are owned by the Registrant, with  the
remaining  land being held under three separate ground leases that expire (after
giving effect to renewal options) on dates ranging from 2025 to 2046.

    The Golden Nugget-Laughlin, including adjacent parking facilities, and GNL's
motel in Bullhead  City, Arizona, occupy  an aggregate of  approximately 15  1/2
acres.   All  of   the  property  is   owned  by  the   Registrant.  The  Golden
Nugget-Laughlin  is  subject  to  a  blanket  encumbrance  collateralizing   the
Registrant's bank credit facility, $20.0 million of which was drawn at March 15,
1994.

    The  Dunes site comprises approximately 164 acres of improved property owned
by the  Registrant  on  the Las  Vegas  Strip.  The Mirage  Golf  Club  occupies
approximately 125 acres of such property.

    The  Registrant owns  approximately 315  acres of  land in  North Las Vegas.
Shadow Creek  occupies  approximately 80%  of  such property.  Shadow  Creek  is
subject  to the blanket encumbrance collateralizing the Registrant's bank credit
facility.

                                       10
<PAGE>
    The Registrant also owns or leases various improved and unimproved property,
and options to  purchase or  lease property, in  Las Vegas,  Atlantic City,  New
Jersey and other locations in the United States and certain foreign countries.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The  Registrant  (including  its  subsidiaries) is  a  defendant  in various
lawsuits, most of which  relate to routine matters  incidental to its  business.
Management  does not believe that the outcome of such pending litigation, in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Registrant.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    There were no  matters submitted to  a vote of  security holders during  the
fourth quarter of 1993.

    The Registrant paid no dividends in  1993 or 1992. There were  approximately
12,300 record holders of the Registrant's common stock as of March 15, 1994.

    The  Registrant's bank credit agreement  contains a covenant restricting the
ability of the  Registrant to pay  cash dividends  on its common  stock or  make
certain  other  restricted  payments. At  December  31, 1993,  pursuant  to such
covenant, the  Registrant was  permitted to  pay dividends  and make  restricted
payments  totaling approximately $280 million. In addition, certain subsidiaries

ITEM 7.__ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    

   
1993 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
    
   
    Assisted  by  Treasure  Island's  October 26  opening,  the  Company's gross
revenues rose 14%  in 1993, following  a 2% increase  in 1992. Operating  income
rose  28% in 1993  before preopening and  related promotional expense. Excluding
Treasure  Island,  gross  revenues  and  operating  income  rose  8%  and   22%,
respectively, in 1993.
    

   
    The  Company amortized  Treasure Island's  preopening costs  to expense over
that facility's first 60 days of  operations, which is management's estimate  of
the  period of economic benefit associated with such costs. This resulted in all
such costs being included in the  fourth quarter of 1993. These costs,  together
with  related  promotional expenses  incurred  during the  1993  fourth quarter,
totaled  $29.8  million.  After  deducting  such  non-recurring  expenses,   the
Company's  operating income  was $131.7 million,  compared to  $125.8 million in
1992.
    

   
STOCK SPLIT
    
   
    On October 15, 1993, the Company effected a five-for-two stock split of  its
common  stock, distributing three new shares to stockholders for each two shares
held. Fractional shares were settled in cash. All information in this Form  10-K
has been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split.
    

   
BUILDING THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE GROWTH
    
   
    As  recently  as December  31,  1990, the  Company  had over  $1  billion of
long-term debt with an average  interest rate of approximately 12%.  Retirements
and  refinancings had reduced this amount to  $831.2 million at the beginning of
1993, with an average interest rate of approximately 10.7%.
    

   
    In March 1993, the  Company issued $100 million  principal amount of 9  1/4%
senior  subordinated notes due 2003.  Despite their subordinated position, these
notes have  the lowest  interest rate  of  any fixed-rate  notes issued  by  the
Company in over 10 years.
    

   
    In  August  1993,  the  Company increased  the  amount  available  under its
revolving bank credit facility by 50%, to $150 million. While much of this  line
was  used during 1993,  at December 31 only  $17 million of  the line was drawn,
with $133 million available for new projects or other corporate purposes.
    

   
    In November  1993, the  Company issued  13,750,000 shares  of common  stock,
raising $303.6 million in order to build a strong base upon which to fund future
growth.
    

                                       13
<PAGE>
   
    These  three sources of capital, plus cash  flow from operations and cash on
hand, were used to retire $356.3 million principal amount of the Company's  most
expensive debt:
    

   
    -  $100.0 million of 13 3/4% first mortgage notes
    

   
    -  $110.0 million of 11 1/4% first mortgage notes
    

   
    -  $33.4 million of 12% second mortgage notes
    

   
    -  $112.9 million of 12 3/4% uncollateralized notes
    

   
    At  year-end 1993,  the Company  had only  $535.0 million  of long-term debt
outstanding, with an average interest rate of approximately 9.4%.
    

   
    It was financially  advantageous for  the Company  to retire  each of  these
issues  prior to their maturity.  The yield to maturity  of these issues, taking
into consideration the call premiums, ranged from approximately 10.1% to  12.0%,
versus  the  approximately 3%  earned  on the  Company's  cash balances  and the
approximately 5.4% paid in 1993 under its bank credit facility. Principally  due
to  the  call premiums,  these early  retirements resulted  in an  $18.8 million
extraordinary charge (net  of income  tax benefits) against  1993 earnings.  The
Company  incurred a  similar extraordinary charge  of $12.2 million  in 1992. In
1991, due  primarily to  higher  interest rates  prevailing  at that  time,  the
Company was able to repurchase debt in the open market at less than its carrying
cost, resulting in a $2.2 million extraordinary gain.
    

   
    Primarily  as a result of these  financial decisions, the Company's interest
cost fell  from $114.4  million in  1991 to  $103.4 million  in 1992  and  $88.5
million in 1993.

    Despite  increased competitive conditions and  a continuing recession in its
key Southern California market, The Mirage had a strong 1993. Its gross revenues
rose 9% to $721.8 million, the highest in its four-year history, while operating
cash flow (EBDIT) rose 16%, returning to the approximate levels achieved in 1990
and 1991.
    

   
    In its  first  two full  years  of  operation, The  Mirage  achieved  strong
financial  results, but with a heavy reliance  on the game of baccarat. Baccarat
is the game of choice  of many "high rollers,"  particularly from Asia. In  1990
and  1991, baccarat accounted  for 15% and 17%,  respectively, of the facility's
gross revenues.
    

   
    The  world-wide  recession  and   other  factors,  particularly  in   Japan,
contributed  to a sharp drop in The Mirage's baccarat activity in 1992. This was
the primary reason for the 24% decline in the facility's 1992 operating  income,
when baccarat accounted for only 9% of gross revenues.
    

   
    Management  began implementing  programs in 1992  to build  other sources of
revenues at The Mirage, as well as  to find other sources of baccarat  business.
In  particular, the Company introduced  a computerized room revenue maximization
program and opened new marketing offices in certain other cities in Asia.
    

                                       14
<PAGE>
   
    The result of these efforts were  realized in 1993. The facility's  baccarat
win  rebounded, although  it remained  below the levels  of 1990  and 1991. More
importantly, The  Mirage's  non-casino revenues  increased  by 14%.  Its  casino
revenues,  excluding baccarat, rose 4%. Non-casino  revenues in 1993 were 47% of
the facility's  gross  revenues,  up  from  45%  in  1992.  Baccarat  was  still
important, but accounted for only 10% of gross revenues.
    

   
    Room  revenues were an important contributor  to the overall revenue growth.
Standard guest room occupancy at The Mirage was 98%, versus 96% in 1992 and  91%
in  1991.  The average  room  rate for  standard guest  rooms  rose 7%  in 1993,
following a small  decrease in  1992. Accolades, such  as the  selection by  the
Zagat Survey as the "Best Hotel in Las Vegas," helped fuel this demand. Revenues
were also assisted by the temporary addition of Cirque du Soleil to The Mirage's
entertainment  offerings. This world-renowned performance troupe appeared at The
Mirage from  November  1992 until  November  1993 and  is  now appearing  in  an
entirely new show, "Mystere," at Treasure Island.
    

   
    The  Mirage's operating margin  rebounded in 1993 to  21.9%, versus 20.2% in
1992 and 25.9%  in 1991.  The 1991  margin was higher  than normal  due to  high
baccarat activity and a lower than normal level of bad debt expense.
    

   
    The   Company  had   approximately  $10   million  of   maintenance  capital
expenditures at The Mirage in 1993, versus approximately $12 million in 1992 and
$9 million in 1991. Such capital  spending will increase significantly in  1994.
The  Company is installing all new slot machines  at The Mirage at a net cost of
approximately $6 million. The Company also  plans to begin refurbishing most  of
the  standard guest rooms at The Mirage  in late 1994. Although most first-class
hotels refurbish their guest rooms  approximately every seven years,  management
has  decided to accelerate its plans because of the Company's high standards and
the extremely high occupancies experienced at The Mirage since its opening. This
approximately $32.5 million project will be  undertaken in a manner designed  to
minimize the disruption to guests and employees.

    Despite higher  than normal  staffing  levels designed  to ensure  a  smooth
October  26 opening, a  lower than expected win  percentage, openings during the
same period of two major competing facilities and the fact that its showroom did
not open until December 25, Treasure Island produced $13.2 million of  operating
cash flow in the 66-day period, on $63.6 million of gross revenues. Occupancy of
its standard guest rooms was 97%.
    

   
    New  facilities, such  as Treasure  Island, tend  to have  a relatively high
level of employee attrition in the  first few months of operation.  Furthermore,
employees  are generally not as  efficient at opening as  they become with a few
months of experience.  Anticipating this, the  Company intentionally  overstaffs
for opening periods, contributing to lower than normal operating margins.

    The Golden Nugget had an excellent 1993, with operating cash flow increasing
15%  to $45.0 million.  This followed an  operating cash flow  increase of 3% in
1992.
    

   
    Many  factors  contributed  to  this  improvement.  For  one,  the   Company
refurbished  most of the  facility's guest rooms in  mid-1992, helping to ensure
the facility's position as  a four-star/four-diamond hotel, one  of only two  in
Southern Nevada.
    

   
    Second,  management determined in  late 1992 that  the Golden Nugget's "high
roller" business was not  as profitable as some  of its other business  segments
because it did not have the economies of scale of large Strip operations such as
The  Mirage.  Accordingly, the  decision  was made  to  concentrate on  the more
profitable business segments.  This resulted in  the installation of  additional
slot machines, the creation of a new facility that operates as a race and sports
book  during the day and a show lounge during the evening and the elimination of
the Golden Nugget's showroom entertainment policy.
    

   
    The focus on more profitable business segments caused a significant increase
in the Golden Nugget's operating margin during 1993. The aforementioned increase
in operating cash flow was achieved despite a 3% decrease in gross revenues.
    

   
    During 1993, the Golden Nugget and a group of other downtown casinos  formed
a   public/private-sector  development  venture  known  as  The  Fremont  Street
Experience. This project will tie together  the casinos along Fremont Street  in
downtown  Las Vegas with a pedestrian mall  topped with a "celestial vault." The
celestial vault will be a porous canopy  that shades the street from the  desert
sun during the day and acts as a backdrop for special effects light shows in the
evening.  Under the canopy will be  retailing kiosks and special events designed
to bring tourists to the downtown area. The Fremont Street Experience will  also
include  a 1,600-vehicle  parking garage, which  is much needed  in downtown Las
Vegas, and approximately 38,000 square feet of retail space.
    

   
    The Golden Nugget's  share of  the development  cost of  The Fremont  Street
Experience is $3 million. The other major participating casinos are contributing
similar  amounts, bringing the casinos' total  contributions to $18 million. The
balance of the $63 million total  development cost will be principally  provided
by City redevelopment funds and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Construction of The Fremont Street Experience is scheduled to begin in mid-1994,
with  completion scheduled for September 1995.  In the interim, its construction
may temporarily  impede traffic  in the  downtown area,  which could  negatively
effect operations at the casinos.
    

   
    The Company is also planning to replace some of the Golden Nugget's existing
slot  machines during 1994 with  new models. The net  cost of such conversion is
approximately $4 million.

    The Golden Nugget-Laughlin had another strong year in 1993, capitalizing  on
expansions  and  refurbishments  completed  during  1992.  The  facility's gross
revenues rose 31% and operating cash flow increased 74%. This follows  increases
in 1992 of 26% and 85%, respectively.
    

   
    The  1992 enhancements  included the  refurbishment of  virtually all public
areas, an increase in the size of  the casino from 22,000 to 32,000 square  feet
and  construction of the facility's first 300  guest rooms. In 1993, the Company
added an intricate light trellis to the  front of the facility designed to  draw
customers from other casinos.
    

   
    The  Golden Nugget-Laughlin operated at 91% occupancy during 1993, with what
management believes are the highest average room rates in the Laughlin market.
    

   
    The operating margin improved at the  facility in 1993 due to higher  levels
of  activity,  a shift  in  the mix  of revenues  and  the lack  of construction
disruptions.
    

   
    The Company has been evaluating the construction of 400 more guest rooms  at
the  property, as  well as  a specialty restaurant.  However, over  the past few
months, a competitor completed a major addition to its Laughlin facility,  while
three  new  large  resorts  (including Treasure  Island)  opened  in  Las Vegas.
Although recent results  from Laughlin, which  is now in  its peak season,  have
been  good, the Company has opted to  wait several months to analyze the effects
of the new competition before proceeding with the planned expansions.
    

   
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING EARNINGS PER SHARE
    
   
    Corporate expense increased 21% in 1992 and 19% in 1993, chiefly due to  the
Company's  evaluation and pursuit of  opportunities in new gaming jurisdictions.
Each of these  jurisdictions has unique  demographic, regulatory, political  and
tax  characteristics  pertinent to  any significant  investment by  the Company.
Frequently, extensive evaluation  and submittals are  necessary to determine  if
there  is a potential profit opportunity for the Company. Proposals were made in
several jurisdictions,  some  of  which remain  outstanding.  The  Company  also
evaluated  and continues to evaluate other potential jurisdictions that have not
yet warranted or required specific proposals. Although management believes  that
these  efforts have the  potential to produce significant  future income for the
Company, its  policy  is to  expense  as incurred  all  costs (except  for  land
acquisition  costs)  associated  with  such  ventures  until  such  time  as the
likelihood of construction is relatively certain.
    

   
    New jurisdiction expenses in 1993 totaled approximately $9.6 million, versus
approximately $6.5  million  in  1992.  Prior to  1992,  the  Company's  efforts
regarding new jurisdictions were significantly less extensive.
    

   
    Despite  the March  1992 issuance of  debt for the  construction of Treasure
Island, interest cost declined  by 14% and 10%  in 1993 and 1992,  respectively.
The  reasons include the reduction of overall debt using the Company's operating
cash flow and proceeds from equity offerings, and the refinancing of other  debt
using borrowed funds with a lower interest cost.
    

                                       17
<PAGE>
   
    The  Company  capitalized $25.1  million of  interest  in 1993,  versus $4.2
million in 1992 and $730,000 in  1991. Such capitalization primarily relates  to
the Treasure Island and Dunes projects.
    

   
    Interest  income declined in 1992  and 1993 due to  investment of funds into
Treasure Island  and the  Dunes as  well as  the Company's  revised strategy  of
relying  on  its  bank  credit  facility,  rather  than  surplus  cash,  for its
opportunistic capital.
    

   
    Interest and other income in 1991 includes $3.3 million from the  settlement
of  a lawsuit initiated by the Company associated with its investment portfolio,
which has since been liquidated. In 1992, the "Other, net" caption includes $5.1
million received  by the  Company upon  the settlement  of a  dispute  involving
certain leasehold interests that it once owned in London, England.
    

   
    The  Company's effective tax rate  in 1993 and 1991  was almost identical to
the federal statutory rate of 35%  and 34%, respectively. In 1992, the  Internal
Revenue  Service  (the "IRS")  completed its  examination  of the  Company's tax
returns for the years 1985 through  1990, resulting in a $7.0 million  reduction
in  the 1992 income tax provision. Except  for this, the 1992 effective tax rate
was also nearly identical to the 34% federal statutory rate. There are no  state
income  taxes in Nevada, where substantially all of the Company's facilities are
located.
    

   
    The number of shares used in the computation of earnings per share increased
in 1992 and 1993 due to equity offerings and stock option programs.
    

   
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
    
   
    The Company had capital  expenditures of $432.4 million  in 1993 and  $220.8
million  in 1992, principally related to  Treasure Island and the acquisition of
the Dunes.  These  were  funded  through a  combination  of  borrowings,  equity
issuances and operating cash flow.
    

   
    The Company believes in maintaining its facilities in first-class condition.
Maintenance   capital  spending  for  the  four  properties  is  anticipated  to
approximate $30 million per year, in addition to the planned room refurbishments
at The  Mirage and  new slot  machines mentioned  previously. Apart  from  this,
future capital expenditures will be dependent on the timing, scope and number of
expansion projects undertaken by the Company.
    

   
    The  Company is  developing plans for  construction on the  Dunes site. Such
construction could cost significantly more  than $500 million. The planning  and
design  for the project are  not yet complete, so  the ultimate project cost and
construction schedule are still uncertain.
    

   
    The Company also has numerous proposals for casino-and entertainment-related
projects in various new gaming jurisdictions. Several are contingent on  passage
of  acceptable  gaming legislation  or on  the  Company being  awarded one  of a
limited number of  licenses. It  is possible  that conditions  would permit  the
Company to begin projects in 1994 or 1995 that would require comparatively large
capital expenditures in 1995, 1996 and beyond.
    

   
    There can be no assurance that management will determine to proceed with any
such  project. It is also possible  that such projects could require significant
financing.
    

   
LIQUIDITY
    
   
    The Company's liquidity is excellent. At  December 31, the Company had  $133
million  available under its bank credit  facility, in addition to approximately
$57.5 million  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents.  Principal  maturities  of  the
Company's  debt are relatively  minor through 1997.  Management funded the March
15, 1994 maturity of $27 million of floating rate first mortgage notes using its
operating cash flow and bank credit facility.
    

   
    With no major projects  currently under construction  and with minimal  debt
maturities, management expects the Company to produce significant free cash flow
during 1994.
    

                                       18
<PAGE>
   
WORKING CAPITAL
    
   
    In  past years, the  Company maintained large  cash balances in  order to be
prepared to move quickly on potential opportunities. Cognizant of the high  cost
of the negative spread between its borrowing cost and the returns from investing
in  short-term securities backed by the U.S. Government, the Company revised its
strategy and now relies primarily on its bank credit facility for  opportunistic
capital.  This has resulted  in a reduction  in the Company's  cash balances and
working capital. Nevertheless,  the sum  of its  cash and  the amount  available
under  its  bank  credit  facility  at December  31,  1993  was  $190.5 million.
Excluding cash equivalents restricted for  the construction of Treasure  Island,
cash  and  available  credit  facilities at  December  31,  1992  totaled $178.2
million.
    

   
THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF
    
   
    Management is considering a  spin-off transaction whereby  the stock of  the
entities  which own the two  Golden Nugget properties would  be contributed to a
new corporation. The  shares of  this corporation  would be  distributed to  the
Company's stockholders on a pro rata basis. For example, a stockholder owning 1%
of  the Company's stock would receive 1% of  the shares of the new Golden Nugget
holding company. The two resulting public companies would be independent of each
other, except that they would initially have the same stock ownership (including
the same principal stockholder).
    

   
    Management believes that the separation of the Company into two entities may
enhance its ability to attract  opportunities in new gaming jurisdictions.  Some
jurisdictions  are better suited  for a smaller company  with a recognized brand
name, such as "Golden Nugget." Others offer the opportunity to build large, one-
of-a-kind  projects,  similar  to  The   Mirage  and  Treasure  Island.  A   few
jurisdictions award only one gaming license to a single company.
    

   
    Management  also  believes that  the separation  would reduce  the Company's
overall cost of capital and provide additional incentives and opportunities  for
its employees.
    

   
    Consummation of the spin-off is contingent on a number of factors, including
the  receipt of  requisite consents from  the Nevada Gaming  Authorities and the
lenders under the Company's bank  credit facility and a  ruling from the IRS  or
other  satisfactory  assurance that  the spin-off  would  qualify as  a tax-free
distribution to the Company's stockholders. In February 1994, the Company  filed
a  request with the  IRS for such a  ruling. There can be  no assurance that the
Company will  receive the  necessary ruling  or consents,  that management  will
determine  to proceed with the spin-off or  as to the timing or specific effects
of the transaction.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
    

   
To the Directors and Stockholders
of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated
Las Vegas, Nevada
    

   
    We   have  audited  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  financial
statement schedules of Mirage Resorts,  Incorporated and subsidiaries as  listed
in  Item  14(a) of  this  Form 10-K.  These  financial statements  and financial
statement schedules  are the  responsibility of  the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on these  financial  statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.
    

   
    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    

   
    In our opinion, the financial  statements referred to above present  fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Mirage Resorts,
Incorporated  and  subsidiaries  as  of  December 31,  1993  and  1992,  and the
consolidated results of their  operations and their cash  flows for each of  the
three  years in the period ended December  31, 1993 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting  principles.  In addition,  in  our opinion,  the  financial
statement  schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects,
the information required to be included therein.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    

   
    BASIS   OF  PRESENTATION.__Mirage  Resorts,  Incorporated  (the  "Company"),
through wholly owned  Nevada subsidiaries, owns  and operates some  of the  most
successful  casino-based entertainment  resorts in  the world.  These facilities
include The Mirage and Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip, the Golden Nugget
in downtown Las  Vegas and the  Golden Nugget-Laughlin in  Laughlin, Nevada.  In
January 1993, the Company purchased the assets of the former Dunes Hotel, Casino
and  Country Club on the  Las Vegas Strip and  is developing long-term plans for
the approximately 164-acre  site, which  include construction  of extensive  new
hotel, casino and resort facilities.
    

   
    PRINCIPLES  OF CONSOLIDATION.  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company  and its subsidiaries. All significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
    

   
    CASINO  REVENUES  AND PROMOTIONAL  ALLOWANCES.   The  Company  recognizes as
casino revenues the  net win  from gaming  activities, which  is the  difference
between  gaming wins  and losses.  Revenues include  the retail  value of rooms,
food, beverage  and  other goods  and  services provided  to  customers  without
charge.  Such amounts are then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated
cost of providing these promotional allowances is as follows:

</TABLE>
    

   
    CASH  AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.   The Company classifies  all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as  cash
equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
    

   
    CONCENTRATIONS  OF  CREDIT RISK.    Financial instruments  which potentially
subject the  Company to  concentrations of  credit risk  consist principally  of
short-term investments and receivables.
    

   
    The  Company's  short-term  investments  are  typically  comprised  of  U.S.
Government-backed repurchase agreements with maturities of 30 days or less. Such
investments are made with  financial institutions having  a high credit  quality
and  the Company limits the  amount of its credit  exposure to any one financial
institution. Due to the short-term nature  of the instruments, the Company  does
not  take possession  of the  securities which are  instead held  in a custodial
account.
    

   
    The Company extends credit to a  limited number of casino patrons, but  only
following  background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. At December
31, 1993,  a  substantial  portion  of the  receivables  was  due  from  foreign
customers.  The collectibility of these receivables  could be affected by future
business

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    
   
or economic trends or  other significant events in  the countries in which  such
customers  reside. At  December 31, 1993,  no individual  customer accounted for
more than five percent of the Company's total receivables.
    

   
    The Company  maintains an  allowance  for doubtful  accounts to  reduce  its
receivables  to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value. Management
believes that as of December 31,  1993, no significant concentrations of  credit
risk exist for which an allowance has not already been determined and recorded.
    

   
    INVENTORIES.   Inventories are stated at the  lower of cost or market value.
Cost is  determined  by  the first-in,  first-out  and  specific  identification
methods.
    

   
    PROPERTY  AND EQUIPMENT.   Property and  equipment are recorded  at cost and
include interest  capitalized during  the construction  period. Depreciation  is
computed  using the  straight-line method  for financial  reporting purposes and
accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
    

   
    Significant replacements and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance
and repairs  are  expensed. The  cost  and accumulated  depreciation  of  assets
retired  or  otherwise disposed  of  are eliminated  from  the accounts  and any
resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income, as appropriate.
    

   
    GOODWILL  AND  INTANGIBLE  ASSETS.    Goodwill  of  $5,645,000  and  various
intangible  assets  are  included in  "Other  assets, net"  in  the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Goodwill  represents the excess  of cost over  the value of  net
tangible  assets of the  business in 1950  when it was  acquired by the Company.
Such amount is not being amortized because, in the opinion of management,  there
has  been no  diminution of its  value. Certain intangible  assets were acquired
during 1988 in connection  with the purchase of  the Golden Nugget-Laughlin  and
are  being amortized  over a five-to  seven-year period  using the straight-line
method.
    

   
    ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT AND  DEBT ISSUE COSTS.   Original issue discount  is
amortized over the life of the related indebtedness using the effective interest
method.
    

   
    Costs  associated with the issuance of  debt are deferred and amortized over
the life of the related indebtedness  using the straight-line method giving  pro
rata  effect, where appropriate,  to debt retirement  schedules specified in the
debt indentures. This approximates the effective interest method.
    

   
    CORPORATE EXPENSE.   Corporate  expense represents  unallocated general  and
administrative  expenses  including  payroll  costs,  professional  fees,  costs
associated with operating and maintaining the Company's jet aircraft and various
other expenses not directly related to operating the Company's hotel-casinos.
    

   
    PREOPENING AND  RELATED  PROMOTIONAL EXPENSE.    Costs associated  with  the
opening  of new  hotel-casinos, including  personnel, training,  advertising and
other costs, are capitalized and  charged to expense over management's  estimate
of  the  period  of  economic benefit  associated  with  such  costs. Management
believes that such period with  respect to major hotel-casinos is  approximately
60  days.  As  a  result,  capitalized  preopening  costs  associated  with  the
development of Treasure Island  were fully amortized  during 1993 following  the
October  26  commencement  of  operations.  Such  costs,  together  with related
promotional  expenses  incurred   during  the  1993   fourth  quarter,   totaled
approximately $29.8 million.
    

   
    NET  INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK.  Net income per share of common stock
is computed based on the weighted average  number of shares of common stock  and
dilutive  common stock equivalents  outstanding during the  period. Common stock
equivalents included in the  computation consist of  those shares issuable  upon
the  assumed exercise  of certain  dilutive common  stock options  as determined
under the treasury stock method. The number of shares used in the computation of
net income per share of common stock was 83,409,411 in 1993, 69,949,015 in  1992
and 55,420,923 in 1991.
    

   
    Fully  diluted per share  amounts are substantially the  same as primary per
share amounts for the periods presented.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS.   Certain  amounts  in the  1992  and  1991  consolidated
financial   statements  have  been   reclassified  to  conform   with  the  1993
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company's net income.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
    

   
NOTE 5 -- LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
    
   
    The  following notes are collateralized on a PARI PASSU basis by first liens
on The Mirage  and Treasure Island  and guaranteed by  the associated  operating
subsidiaries:
    

   
    - The  9  7/8% first  mortgage  notes issued  in  March 1992.  The indenture
      governing the notes limited the use of the net proceeds from the  issuance
      of  the  notes  to fund  a  portion of  the  cost of  the  development and
      construction of Treasure  Island. The  indenture requires  a sinking  fund
      payment to retire $150 million principal amount of the notes on October 1,
      1999.  The notes are  redeemable on or  after April 1,  1995 at prices set
      forth in the indenture.
    

   
    - The $148 million face amount of zero coupon first mortgage notes issued in
      March 1988. The notes are shown in the above table at their accreted value
      rather than  their  face amount,  as  the holders  of  the notes  are  not
      entitled  to the face  amount upon default  or other accelerated maturity,
      but only  to an  amount which  approximates the  gross proceeds  plus  the
      amortized original issue discount. The unamortized original issue discount
      was   $54,219,000  and  $63,861,000   at  December  31,   1993  and  1992,
      respectively.
    

   
    - The floating rate  first mortgage notes  issued in March  1988. The  notes
      bear interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable three-month London
      Interbank  Offered Rate ("LIBOR")  in effect on the  first business day of
      the quarter plus  1 1/2%.  The notes were  repaid upon  maturity in  March
      1994.
    

   
    The  9 1/4% senior subordinated  notes were issued in  March 1993. The notes
are guaranteed by the Company's  Mirage operating subsidiary and are  redeemable
on or after March 15, 1998 at prices set forth in the indenture.
    

   
    CREDIT  FACILITIES.    The floating  rate  bank credit  facility  (the "Bank
Facility") is a revolving bank  line of credit entered  into in October 1992  by
the  Company's Mirage operating subsidiary.  The Bank Facility, which originally
provided for borrowings of up to $100 million, was increased to $150 million  in
August  1993.  The  Bank  Facility  is  subject  to  scheduled  permanent annual
principal reductions commencing with a $30 million reduction in September  1994.
Borrowings under the Bank Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at
the  Company's option,  the prime rate  plus 1%  or the one,  three or six-month
LIBOR plus 2%. The Company incurs a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion
of the Bank Facility.
    

   
    Borrowings under the Bank Facility are guaranteed by the Company and most of
its significant subsidiaries  other than the  Golden Nugget-Las Vegas  operating
subsidiary  and are  collateralized principally by  first deeds of  trust on the
Golden Nugget-Laughlin and the Company's Shadow Creek golf course.
    

   
    The floating rate aircraft credit facility was also entered into in  October
1992 and provided for borrowings of up to $29 million. During 1992 and 1993, the
Company  borrowed the entire $29 million and no additional amounts are available
under the facility. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and collateralized
by first liens on  the Company's jet aircraft.  The facility bears interest,  at
the Company's option, at a fixed rate equal to the three-year Treasury rate plus
3.05% or at a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.4%. The facility
generally  requires equal monthly principal  payments, plus interest, calculated
to ratably retire $14.5 million through the December 1996 maturity date.
    

   
    The credit agreement  governing the Bank  Facility (the "Credit  Agreement")
imposes  various  restrictions on  the Company  and its  subsidiaries, including
limitations on their ability to incur  additional debt, commit funds to  capital
expenditures  or  new  business  ventures,  merge  or  sell  assets.  The Credit
Agreement also limits dividends on and repurchases of the Company's common stock
to $25 million plus the  sum of (i) 25% of  the Company's cumulative net  income
since  July 1, 1992 and (ii) 80% of the difference between the net cash proceeds
received from the issuance of the Company's common stock and the amount expended
for common  stock repurchases  after April  30, 1992.  In addition,  the  Credit
Agreement  contains certain financial tests, including maximum debt to net worth
and debt to operating cash flow ratios, and minimum

interest coverage  ratios, net  worth, operating  cash flow  and cash  and  cash
equivalents  requirements. The Credit Agreement prohibits additional investments
by the Company in its Golden Nugget-Las Vegas operating or finance subsidiaries,
except as intercompany loans not to exceed an aggregate of $10 million.
    

   
    The indentures governing the notes  associated with The Mirage and  Treasure
Island  generally limit payments  to the Company by  GNS FINANCE CORP., Treasure
Island Finance  Corp.  and the  related  operating  companies, in  the  form  of
dividends, repurchases of their capital stock and management fees.
    

   
    During  the three years ended December  31, 1993, the Company repurchased or
called for redemption certain of the publicly held debt securities issued by its
wholly owned subsidiaries. The debt securities and respective principal  amounts
retired,  and  the  resulting  aggregate extraordinary  gain  or  loss,  were as

prices at or near December 31, 1993  and 1992 for the Company's debt  securities
that  are traded. For the debt securities  that are not traded, their fair value
was estimated based on  the quoted market  prices for similar  issues or on  the
current  rates  offered  to  the  Company for  debt  having  the  same remaining

    The  Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")  has completed examinations of the
Company's federal income tax  returns through 1990, and  all issues relating  to
the  examinations have been resolved. The IRS recently commenced its examination
of the years  1991 and 1992.  In the  opinion of management,  any tax  liability
arising  from the current examination will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
    

   
    The Company  increased  its  1993  income tax  provision  and  deferred  tax
liability  as a result of legislation enacted on August 10, 1993 which increased
the federal income tax statutory rate from 34% to 35% effective January 1, 1993.
    

   
    The components of the deferred tax liability consisted of the following:

regular federal income tax liabilities. At December 31, 1993, the Company had  a
net  operating  loss carryforward  for regular  federal  income tax  purposes of
approximately $54.8 million, which expires in 2007. The Company has not recorded
a valuation allowance to reduce the

carrying value of the deferred tax  assets since these assets arose  principally
from temporary differences which will reverse within the prescribed carryforward
period or will be recognized in periods corresponding to the reversal of certain
of the deferred tax liabilities.
    

   
NOTE 7 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
    
   
    Employees  of the Company who  are members of various  unions are covered by
union-sponsored, collectively bargained, multi-employer  health and welfare  and
defined benefit pension plans. The Company recorded an expense of $18,388,000 in
1993,  $14,771,000 in 1992 and $13,293,000  in 1991 under such plans. Sufficient
information is not available from the  plans' sponsors to permit the Company  to
determine its share of unfunded vested benefits, if any.
    

   
    The  Company  has a  retirement  savings plan  under  Section 401(k)  of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  covering  its  non-union  employees.  The  plan  allows
employees  of the Company and its subsidiaries to  defer up to the lesser of the
Internal Revenue  Code-prescribed maximum  amount ($8,994  for 1993)  or 15%  of
their  income on a pre-tax basis through  contributions to the plan. The Company
matches 50% of eligible employees' contributions up to a maximum of 4% of  their
individual  earnings. The Company recorded charges for matching contributions of
$2,458,000 in 1993, $2,060,000 in 1992 and $1,776,000 in 1991.
    

   
    The Company also has a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of certain
of its key  executives. Under  the terms  of the  plan, each  executive will  be
entitled  to  a retirement  benefit payable  in  120 equal  monthly installments
commencing in the month  following the vesting date.  Vesting is based upon  age
and years of service. The amount of the annual benefit payable to each executive
will  be equal to his annual salary on  the date he joined the plan increased by
8% per year from the later of such date or the date the executive has  completed
10  years of full-time  service to the date  payment commences. Benefits payable
under the plan represent unfunded and unsecured liabilities of the Company,  and
the  present value of such benefits is being charged ratably to expense over the
respective vesting period of each executive.
    

   
    The Company has entered into amendments to the original plan agreements with
certain of the executives. Pursuant  to the amendments, the executives  received
restricted  shares of the Company's common stock  in lieu of future monthly cash
payments. During  the vesting  period,  the shares  may  not be  transferred  or
encumbered,  except  in  limited  circumstances,  and  are  subject  to  risk of
forfeiture. The number  of shares issued  to each executive  was based upon  the
estimated  value of the  executive's interest in  the plan and  the value of the
shares on the  date of amendment,  taking into account  the transferability  and
forfeiture  restrictions on the  shares. The Company  issued 182,191 and 239,948
restricted shares of common  stock in 1993 and  1991, respectively, pursuant  to
the  amendments. Deferred compensation expense based upon the difference between
the market price of  the common stock  on the date of  amendment and the  amount
previously  accrued  for the  executive's original  retirement benefit  is being
recorded on a  straight-line basis over  the respective vesting  period of  each
executive.
    

   
    The  total expense for the  plan was $1,830,000 in  1993, $3,355,000 in 1992
and $4,284,000 in 1991.

    LEASES.   The  Company  leases  real  estate  and  various  equipment  under
operating  lease arrangements. Certain real estate leases provide for escalation
of rent based upon a specified price index.

    ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES.   The Company  has entered into  two agreements  for
major  productions appearing in the showrooms  at The Mirage and Treasure Island
which expire in 1995 and 1999, respectively. Under the terms of the  agreements,
the  Company is  required to  pay the producers  of the  shows a  total of $27.1
million per year  and a percentage  of show  revenues in excess  of a  specified
amount or a percentage of show profits. The producers are responsible for paying
the  talent and most other  costs of presenting the  shows. While future minimum
payments remaining under the agreements at December 31, 1993 total approximately
$104 million, such payments are contingent upon the actual performance of  shows
and,  under certain conditions, the Company may terminate the agreements without
material financial  obligation.  The  Company  made  payments  pursuant  to  the
agreements  and  a previous  agreement totaling  approximately $31.6  million in
1993, $21.4 million in  1992 and $16.3  million in 1991.  The agreements can  be
extended at the Company's option until 2001 for the production at The Mirage and
until 2004 for the production at Treasure Island.
    

   
    LITIGATION.   The Company is  a party to various  legal proceedings, most of
which relate to routine matters incidental to its business. Management does  not
believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
    

   
NOTE 9 -- STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
    

   
    STOCK OPTION AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLANS.  At December 31, 1993, the
Company  had in  effect four stock  option and stock  appreciation rights plans.
Under the terms of the plans,  an aggregate of 25,000,000 (6,250,000 under  each
plan)  stock options  and stock appreciation  rights ("SARs") may  be granted to
officers,  directors,  employees,  agents  or  independent  contractors  of  the
Company. Options granted under the plans may be either nonqualified or incentive
stock options. Nonqualified options and SARs may be granted at not less than 50%
of  the  market  value of  the  Company's common  stock  on the  date  of grant.
Incentive stock options may be granted at not less than 100% of market value  on
the  date of grant for employees owning 10%  or less of the Company's stock, and
at not less than 110% for employees owning more than 10% of the Company's stock.
Stock options may be exercised  using cash or the  Company's stock. SARs may  be
exercised  for cash or the Company's stock.  The terms governing the exercise of
options and SARs granted under the  plans are determined by the Company's  Board
of Directors or its designated committee.
    

   
    1992  NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR  STOCK OPTION PLAN.   At December  31, 1993, the
Company also had in effect a  non-employee director stock option plan  providing
for  the grant  of 12,500  stock options  to each  non-employee director  of the
Company upon completion of  36 consecutive calendar months  of service with  the
Company  and an  additional 2,500 stock  options in each  succeeding year. Stock

    Because income (loss) per  share amounts are  calculated using the  weighted
average  number  of common  and  dilutive common  equivalent  shares outstanding
during each quarter, the sum of the per share amounts for the four quarters  may
not equal the total income (loss) per share amounts for the year.
