             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
          MGM Grand, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation,
     incorporated on January 29, 1986.  As of September 30, 1998, approximately
     73% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were owned by
     Kirk Kerkorian and Tracinda Corporation ("Tracinda"), a Nevada corporation
     wholly owned by Kirk Kerkorian.
 
          Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGM Grand Hotel, Inc., the
     Company owns and operates  MGM Grand Hotel/Casino ("MGM Grand Las Vegas"),

          Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGM Grand Australia Pty Ltd., the
     Company owns and operates the MGM Grand Hotel/Casino in Darwin, Australia
     ("MGM Grand Australia").
 
          The Company and Primadonna Resorts, Inc. ("Primadonna") each owns 50%
     of New York-New York Hotel and Casino, LLC ("NYNY LLC"), which completed
     development of the $460 million themed destination resort called New York-
     New York Hotel and Casino ("NYNY") in Las Vegas, Nevada in December 1996.
     NYNY commenced operations on January 3, 1997, and is located on
     approximately 20 acres at the northwest corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las
     Vegas Boulevard, across from MGM Grand Las Vegas.
 
          Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGM Grand South Africa, Inc., the
     Company manages three casinos throughout various provinces of the Republic
     of South Africa.  The casino in Nelspruit began operations on October 15,
     1997, the casino in Witbank began operations on March 10, 1998 and the
     casino in Johannesburg began operations on September 28, 1998.  The Company

     Company and its local partners in Detroit, Michigan, formed MGM Grand
     Detroit, LLC ("MGM Grand Detroit") to develop a hotel/casino and
     entertainment complex at an approximate cost of $800 million.  On November
     20, 1997, MGM Grand Detroit was chosen as a finalist for a development
     agreement to construct, own and operate one of Detroit's three new casinos.
     On April 9, 1998, the Detroit City Council approved MGM Grand Detroit's
     development agreement with the City of Detroit. Construction of the project
     is subject to the receipt of various governmental approvals.  The plans for
     the permanent facility call for an 800-room hotel, a 100,000 square-foot
     casino, signature restaurants and retail outlets, a showroom and other
     entertainment venues.  On July 22, 1998, the Michigan Gaming Control Board
     adopted a resolution which allows the issuance of casino licenses to
     conduct gaming operations in temporary facilities.  Pending receipt of a
     license, MGM Grand Detroit anticipates the opening of a temporary gaming
     facility in the summer of 1999.

     NOTE 1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
 
     the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     1997 Annual Report included on Form 10-K.
     
          In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include
     only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
     financial position as of September 30, 1998, and the results of operations
     for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and
     1997.  The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
          Recently issued Statement of Position - In April 1998, the American
     Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on
     the Costs of Start-up Activities."  The new standard requires that all
     companies expense costs of start-up activities as those costs are incurred.
     The term "start-up" includes pre-opening, pre-operating and organization
     activities.  Previously, the Company had capitalized these items until the
     development of the property was substantially complete and ready to open,
     at which time the cumulative costs were expensed.  As of September 30,
     1998, the Company capitalized start-up costs of $.7 million related to
     Atlantic City and $9.1 million related to Detroit.  The Company will adopt
     SOP 98-5 in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.
 
          Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial
     statements to conform with the 1998 presentation, which have no effect on
     previously reported net income.

     NOTE 2.   STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, cash payments
     made for interest were $22.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
 
          Cash payments made for state and federal taxes for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $9.4 million and $36.1 million,
     respectively.

             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (CONTINUED)


     NOTE 3.   LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

          Total interest incurred for the first nine months of 1998 was $29.3
     million of which $11.6 million was capitalized, and $7.1 million was
     incurred for the first nine months of 1997 of which $5.9 million was
     capitalized.  During the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, the Company
     recognized interest expense from its unconsolidated affiliate of $6.5
     million and $7.5 million, respectively.
 
          On July 1, 1996, the Company secured a $500 million Senior Reducing
     Revolving Credit Facility with BA Securities (the "Facility"), an affiliate
     of Bank of America NT&SA. In August 1996, the Facility was increased to
     $600 million. In July 1997, the Facility was amended, extended and
     increased to $1.25 billion (the "New Facility"), with provisions to allow
     an increase of the New Facility to $1.5 billion as well as to allow
     additional pari passu debt financing up to $500 million. As a result of the
     New Facility, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately
     $4.2 million, net of tax benefits, of unamortized debt costs from the
     Facility during the third quarter of 1997. The New Facility contains
     various restrictive covenants on the Company which include the maintenance
     of certain financial ratios and limitations on additional debt, dividends,
     capital expenditures and disposition of assets. The New Facility also
     restricts certain acquisitions and similar transactions. Interest on the
     New Facility is based on the bank reference rate or Eurodollar rate. The
     New Facility matures in December 2002, with the opportunity to extend the
     maturity for successive one year periods. During the nine months ended
     September 30, 1998, $31 million was drawn down and repaid against the New
     Facility, and no amounts remained outstanding as of September 30, 1998.

          The Company filed a Shelf Registration Statement with the Securities
     and Exchange Commission which became effective on August 4, 1997. The Shelf
     Registration Statement allows the Company to issue up to $600 million of
     debt and equity securities. On February 2 and February 6, 1998, the Company
     completed public offerings totaling $500 million of Senior Collateralized
     Notes in tranches of 7 and 10 years. The 7-year tranche of $300 million
     carries a coupon of 6.95%, while the 10-year tranche of $200 million
     carries a coupon of 6.875%. Both tranches are initially secured equally and
     ratably with the New Facility, and the security may be removed equally with
     the New Facility at the Company's option upon the occurrence of certain
     events, including the maintenance of investment grade ratings.
 
          The Australian bank facility originally provided a total availability
     of approximately $62.2 million (AUD $105 million), which has been reduced
     by principal payments totaling $19 million (AUD $28.4 million) made in
     accordance with the terms of the bank facility, including $7.2 million (AUD
     $12.2 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. As of
     September 30, 1998, $45.8 million (AUD $77.3 million) remained outstanding.
     The bank facility includes funding for general corporate purposes. Interest
     on the bank facility is based on the Australian Bank Bill rate. The
     indebtedness, for which a bank agreement has been reached to extend
     maturity to December 2002, has been wholly guaranteed by the Company.

               MGM Grand Australia has an $11.8 million (AUD $20 million)
     uncommitted standby line of credit, with a funding period of 91 days for
     working capital purposes. No amount was outstanding during the nine months
     ended September 30, 1998.

               Upon commencement of operations of NYNY on January 3, 1997 (see
     Note 1), the $285 million non-revolving construction line of credit
     converted to a five-year reducing revolver. The Company and Primadonna (the
     "Partners") have executed a joint and several unlimited Keep-Well
     Agreement, which provides that in the event of insufficient cash flow from
     NYNY to comply

     NOTE 3.   LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

     with financial covenants, the Partners will make cash infusions which are
     sufficient to bring NYNY LLC into compliance with the financial covenants.
     During the first nine months of 1998, $49.5 million in principal repayments
     were made by NYNY LLC. As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, a
     total of $195.6 million and $245.1 million was outstanding, respectively.
     On January 21, 1997, NYNY LLC completed an additional $20 million equipment
     financing with a financial institution. As of September 30, 1998 and
     December 31, 1997, $15.2 million and $17.5 million were outstanding related
     to the equipment financing, respectively.
     
     NOTE 4.   ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
     
          On May 7, 1996, the Company made a commitment to grant 15 shares of
     Company common stock to each of its employees in exchange for continued
     active employment through the one year anniversary date of the commitment.
     As a result of the stock grant commitment, deferred compensation was
     charged to stockholders' equity and amortized monthly to compensation
     expense over the one year commitment period. On May 7, 1997, 99,045 shares
     were issued to employees as a result of the commitment. Over the life of
     the commitment, approximately $4 million was amortized to expense, of which
     $1.1 million of such expense was recognized during the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997.

          In 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Don King
     Productions, Inc. ("DKP"), to present six of Mike Tyson's fights. Pursuant
     to the agreement, the Company made a non-interest bearing working capital
     advance of $15 million to DKP, sold to DKP 618,557 treasury shares of the
     Company's common stock (the "Shares") for $15 million, and provided a
     guaranteed future share price. The original agreement was amended during
     1996, the Shares were placed in the custody of an independent trustee, and
     the Company and DKP subsequently determined to terminate the agreement. On
     September 25, 1997, the Shares were sold to Tracinda for an aggregate
     consideration of $27.5 million, the Company was repaid the $15 million
     working capital advance and the remaining consideration in the amount of
     $12.5 million was paid to DKP. As a result of this transaction, the Company
     reversed approximately $5.9 million of previously expensed stock price
     guarantee amortization during 1997.

           On June 23, 1998, the Company announced a $35.00 per share cash
     tender offer for up to 6 million shares of Company common stock as part of
     a 12 million share repurchase program. The offer commenced on July 2, 1998
     and expired on July 31, 1998. A total of 10.8 million shares of the
     Company's common stock were tendered, and accordingly, the shares were
     prorated. The total acquisition cost of the tendered shares was
     approximately $210.5 million. The Company anticipates that, depending on
     market conditions, the remaining 6 million shares in the repurchase program
     may be acquired in the open market, in private transactions, through a
     tender offer, offers or otherwise.

     
     NOTE 5.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
     
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),
     Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that the Company disclose
     comprehensive income and its components. The objective of SFAS 130 is to
     report a measure of all changes in equity of a company that result from
     transactions and other economic events of the period other than
     transactions with stockholders. Comprehensive income is the total of net
     income and all other non-stockholder changes in equity ("Other
     Comprehensive Income").

     NOTE 6.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
          The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with
     the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128")
     Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 presents two EPS calculations: (i) basic
     earnings per common share which is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
     periods presented, and (ii) diluted earnings per common share which is
     determined on the assumptions that options issued to employees are
     exercised and repurchased at the average price for the periods presented

     NOTE 8.   MASTER PLAN ASSET DISPOSITION

          As a result of the MGM Grand Las Vegas property construction
     enhancements associated with the transformation of the facility into "The
     City of Entertainment", the Company wrote-off assets during the third
     quarter of 1997. The net book value of these assets was $28.6 million (pre-
     tax) which included the original swimming pool facility to be replaced by
     the Mansion at the MGM Grand, consisting of 29 suites and villas, and
     certain theme park assets on the site intended for a 500 room Ritz-Carlton
     Hotel.

     ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
               
     QUARTER VERSUS QUARTER
 
          Net revenues for the third quarter of 1998 were $193.7 million,
     representing a decrease of $14.7 million (7.1%) when compared with $208.4
     million during the same period last year.  The decrease in net revenues was
     largely due to lower casino and retail revenues, and lower earnings from
     the Company's 50% ownership in NYNY (see Note 1), somewhat offset by higher
     food and beverage revenues.
 
          Consolidated casino revenues for the third quarter of 1998 were $99.5
     million, representing a decrease of $15.7 million (13.6%) when compared
     with $115.2 million during the same period in the prior year. MGM GRAND LAS
     VEGAS casino revenues were $92.2 million, representing a decrease of $15.4
     million (14.3%) when compared with $107.6 million during the same period in
     the prior year. The reduction in casino revenues at MGM Grand Las Vegas was
     a result of lower baccarat volume and win percentage. MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA
     reported casino revenues of $7.3 million, representing a decrease of $.3
     million (3.9%) when compared with $7.6 million during the same period in
     the prior year. The reduction of casino revenue was a result of lower
     average exchange rate in the current year's quarter (.5989), compared with
     a higher average rate in the prior year's quarter (.7356).
 
          Consolidated room revenues were $42.6 million for the third quarter of
     1998 compared with $41 million in the prior year's third quarter,
     representing an increase of $1.6 million (3.9%). MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS room
     revenues were $42 million, representing an increase of $1.7 million (4.2%)
     when compared with $40.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The
     increase was primarily due to a higher average room rate for the 1998 third
     quarter of $94 compared with $90 for the 1997 third quarter. The increase
     was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy to 97.8% for the third
     quarter of 1998 when compared with 99% in the same period of the prior
     year. MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA room revenues decreased $.2 million (25%) from
     $.8 million in 1997 to $.6 million in 1998 due to lower room rates and
     average exchange rate, somewhat offset by higher occupancy.
 
          Consolidated food and beverage revenues were $27.1 million in the
     third quarter of 1998, representing an increase of $3.2 million (13.4%)
     when compared with $23.9 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
     The increase was attributable to MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS which had food and
     beverage revenues of $25.5  million during the third quarter of 1998,
     representing an increase of $3.3 million (14.9%) when compared with $22.2
     million in the third quarter of 1997.  This increase resulted from the
     banquet revenue generated from the Conference Center which opened on April
     16, 1998, and the operation of the Studio 54 night club which opened late
     December 1997.  MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA reported food and beverage revenues of
     $1.6 million, which were slightly lower when compared with the same period
     in the prior year due to a lower average exchange rate in the current year.
 
          Consolidated entertainment, retail and other revenues increased $1.3
     million (4.3%) from $30.5 million in the 1997 period to $31.8 million in
     the 1998 period. The increase is primarily a result of strengthened MGM
     GRAND LAS VEGAS entertainment revenues and the addition of management and
     development fees from MGM GRAND SOUTH AFRICA of $1.3 million. These
     increases were partially offset by decreases in theme park revenues due to
     the abbreviated seasonal operating schedule during this year's quarter.

          Income from unconsolidated affiliate was $9.8 million for the third
     quarter of 1998, compared with $12.9 million in 1997, representing the
     Company's 50% share of NYNY's operating income.  The reduction of earnings
     from NYNY is a result of the unprecedented public response in the prior
     (first) year of operations.

     ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
     QUARTER VERSUS QUARTER (CONTINUED)

          Consolidated operating expenses (before Master Plan asset disposition
     and Corporate expenses) were $158.8 million in the third quarter of 1998,
     representing an increase of $6.8 million (4.5%) when compared with $152
     million for the same period last year. The overall increase was
     attributable to MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS which included increased depreciation
     expense and operating expenses due to Master Plan assets placed in service
     and higher food and beverage expenses associated with increased revenues.
     The increases were somewhat offset by decreases in retail expenses in the
     current year's quarter due to the abbreviated seasonal operating schedule
     of the theme park. MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA operating expenses decreased from
     $7.9 million in the 1997 period to $6.8 million in the 1998 period as a
     result of continuing cost containment efforts and lower average exchange
     rate in the current year.
     
          Master Plan asset disposition relates to the write-off of various
     assets related to the transformation of MGM Grand Las Vegas into "The City
     of Entertainment."  The prior year's quarter write-off of $28.6 million
     (pre-tax) is the result of management's decision to enhance and expand the
     Master Plan project from $250 million to over $700 million.
 
          Corporate expense for 1998 was $.7 million compared with income of
     $3.5 million in 1997, representing an increase of $4.2 million.  The 1997
     third quarter corporate expense was reduced by a $5.9 million reversal of
     previously expensed stock price guarantee amortization (see Note 4), which
     was somewhat offset by a payroll-related reversal of $1.6 million in the
     1998 period.
 
          Interest income of $2.9 million for the three months ended September
     30, 1998 increased by $2.5 million from $.4 million in the third quarter of
     1997. The increase was attributable to higher invested cash balances
     primarily from the proceeds of the Senior Collateralized Notes (see Note
     3).
          Interest expense in the third quarter of 1998 was $7.7 million (net of
     amounts capitalized) compared with no interest expense in the same period
     of 1997, reflecting the issuance of the Senior Collateralized Notes (see
     Note 3). Also, the Company recognized interest expense from unconsolidated
     affiliate of $2.1 million during the 1998 period compared with $2.5 million
     in 1997, reflecting a reduced outstanding balance on the NYNY facility (see
     Note 3).
 
          Extraordinary loss in the prior year's third quarter of $4.2 million,
     net of income tax benefit, reflects the write-off of unamortized debt costs
     from the previous $600 million credit facility (see Note 3).
 
     NINE MONTHS VERSUS NINE MONTHS
 
          Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $558.9
     million, representing a decrease of $56.1 million (9.1%) when compared with
     $615 million during the same period last year. The decrease in net revenues
     was largely due to lower casino, other retail revenue, and lower earnings
     from the Company's 50% ownership in NYNY (see Note 1), somewhat offset by
     higher food and beverage revenues.
     
          Consolidated casino revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
     1998 were $291.7 million, representing a decrease of $43.7 million (13%)
     when compared with $335.4 million during the same period in the prior year.
     MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS casino revenues were $271.7 million, representing a
     decrease of $43.3 million (13.7%) when compared with $315 million during
     the same period in the prior year.  The reduction in casino revenues at MGM
     Grand Las Vegas was a result of lower table game and baccarat volume and

     win percentages. MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA reported casino revenues of $20
     million which was $.4 million lower than the same period in the prior year,
     primarily due to a lower average exchange rate in the current year (.6317)
     and a higher average exchange rate in 1997 (.7609).
     
          Consolidated room revenues for the period were $126.7 million compared
     with $127.4 million for the same period in 1997, representing a decrease of
     $.7 million (.5%). MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS room revenues were $125.4 million,
     representing a decrease of $.4 million (.3%) when compared with $125.8
     million in the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was due to a
     lower average room rate for the 1998 period of $97 compared with $98 in
     1997.  MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA room revenues were $1.4 million for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1998, representing a decrease of $.4 million
     (22.2%) when compared with $1.8 million for the prior year period, due to
     lower room rates and average exchange rates partially offset by higher
     occupancy.
 
          Consolidated food and beverage revenues for the period were $75.6
     million, representing an increase of $6.3 million (9.1%) when compared with
     $69.3 million for the same period of the prior year.  The increase was
     attributable to MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS which had food and beverage revenues of
     $71.5 million during the current period, representing an increase of $7.2
     million (11.2%) when compared with $64.3 million in the same period of
     1997.  This increase  resulted from the Company's decision to operate the
     Studio Cafe coffee shop which during the 1997 period had been a leased
     facility until March 1997, the opening of the Studio 54 night club in late
     December 1997, and banquets from the Conference Center which opened in
     April 1998.  MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA reported food and beverage revenues of
     $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $.9 million (17.3%) when compared
     with $5.2 million during the same period in the prior year as a result of
     lower average exchange rate in the current year.
 
          Consolidated entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $3.6
     million (4.2%) from $86.7 million in the 1997 period to $83.1 million in
     the 1998 period. The decrease in entertainment, retail and other revenues
     is a result of lower MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS theme park revenues from reduced
     covers and the abbreviated seasonal operating schedule during the current
     third quarter. The decrease was partially offset by increases in
     entertainment revenues from events in the Grand Garden Arena, increased EFX
     attendance, increased convention entertainment /audio visual revenue, and
     the addition of management and development fees from MGM GRAND SOUTH
     AFRICA.

          Income from unconsolidated affiliate was $29.5 million for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1998, compared with $42.4 million in 1997,
     representing the Company's 50% share of NYNY's operating income.  The
     reduction of earnings from NYNY is a result of the unprecedented public
     response in the prior (first) year of operations.
 
          Consolidated operating expenses (before Master Plan asset disposition
     and Corporate expenses) for the 1998 period were $463.4 million,
     representing an increase of $15.2 million (3.4%) when compared with $448.2
     million for the same period last year. The overall increase was
     attributable to MGM GRAND LAS VEGAS which had higher operating expenses in
     the 1998 period as a result of higher food and beverage expenses associated
     with the addition of Studio 54 and the longer operating period for the
     Studio Cafe and higher banquets expense for the Conference Center.
     Additionally, provisions for doubtful accounts were higher due to changes
     in anticipated collectability of receivables and uncertain economic
     conditions in Asia, higher depreciation expense due to Master Plan assets
     placed in service and room expenses for the addition of sales staffing for

     the Conference Center. These increases were partially offset by lower
     casino expenses due to a reduction in casino taxes, as well as decreased
     retail expenses relating to the lower retail revenue. MGM GRAND AUSTRALIA
     operating expenses decreased $4.2 million (17.6%) from $23.8 million in the
     1997 period to $19.6 million in the 1998 period as a result of continuing
     cost containment efforts and lower average exchange rate in the current
     year.

          Master Plan asset disposition relates to the write-off of various
     assets related to the transformation of MGM Grand Las Vegas into "The City
     of Entertainment."  The prior year's quarter write-off of $28.6 million
     (pre-tax) is the result of management's decision to enhance and expand the
     Master Plan project from $250 million to over $700 million.
 
          Corporate expense for the 1998 period was $6.1 million compared with
     $1.3 million in 1997, representing an increase of $4.8 million.  The
     increase was due to higher operating expenses in the current year and the
     $5.9 million reversal of the stock price guarantee amortization that
     occurred in the prior year.  This was somewhat offset by the current year's
     quarter payroll-related reversal of $1.6 million.
 
          Interest income of $12.1 million for the period ended September 30,
     1998 increased by $11.1 million from $1 million in the same period of
     1997. The increase was attributable to higher invested cash balances
     primarily from the proceeds of the Senior Collateralized Notes (see Note
     3).

          Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $17.7
     million (net of amount capitalized) increased by $16.5 million when
     compared with $1.2 million (net of amount capitalized) in the same period
     of 1997.  The increase in the 1998 period was primarily due to the issuance
     of the Senior Collateralized Notes (see Note 3).  Also, the Company
     recognized interest expense from unconsolidated affiliate of $6.5 million
     during the 1998 period compared with $7.5 million in 1997, reflecting a
     reduced outstanding balance on the NYNY facility (see Note 3).
 
          Extraordinary loss in the prior year's third quarter of $4.2 million,
     net of income tax benefit, reflects the write-off of unamortized debt costs
     from the previous $600 million credit facility (see Note 3).
 
     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
          As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company held cash
     and cash equivalents of $90.8 million and $34.6 million, respectively.
     Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 1998 was
     $104.2 million compared with $127.7 million for the same period of 1997.

          On May 6, 1996, MGM Grand Las Vegas announced details of a 30-month,
     $250 million Master Plan designed to transform the facility into "The City
     of Entertainment." The Master Plan, which on June 3, 1997 was enhanced and
     increased to more than $700 million, calls for a new 1,500-room "Marriott
     Marquis"; expansion of the resort's casino capacity by nearly 20 percent to
     more than 200,000 square feet; and a "Mansion at the MGM Grand" offering 29
     exclusive suites and villas. The Company's 380,000 square foot state-of-
     the-art conference center opened in April 1998, and the 50 foot tall
     polished bronze lion sculpture along with the "Entertainment Casino"
     (previously known as the Emerald City casino) were completed during the
     first quarter of 1998. Additionally, the new pool and spa complex was
     completed and opened for operations in July 1998. Approximately $309.4

     million is anticipated to be expended during 1998 related to the Master
     Plan, of which $255.7 million had been expended through September 30, 1998.
     
          Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1998 were $297.5
     million, consisting primarily of $24.6 million related to MGM Grand Las
     Vegas for general property improvements, $255.7 million for the Master Plan
     project, $11.7 million related to the purchase of a Company airplane, $1.3
     million at MGM Grand Australia for general property improvements and $4.2
     million for MGM Grand Atlantic City land acquisition costs and pre-
     construction activities. Anticipated capital expenditures remaining for
     1998 are approximately $105.4 million, consisting of approximately $53.7
     million related to the Master Plan, approximately $20.9 million related to
     general property improvements for MGM Grand Las Vegas, approximately $29
     million for MGM Grand Detroit, approximately $1.6 million related to land
     acquisitions and pre-construction activities for MGM Grand Atlantic City
     and approximately $.2 million for MGM Grand Australia.
     
          On June 23, 1998, the Company announced a $35.00 per share cash tender
     offer for up to 6 million shares of Company common stock as part of a 12
     million share repurchase program. The offer commenced on July 2, 1998 and
     expired on July 31, 1998. Based upon the final results, 10.8 million shares
     of the Company's common stock were tendered, and accordingly, the shares
     were prorated. The total acquisition cost of the tendered shares was
     approximately $210.5 million. The Company anticipates that, depending on
     market conditions, the remaining 6 million shares in the repurchase program
     may be acquired in the open market, in private transactions, through a
     tender offer, offers or otherwise.

          The Company expects to finance operations and capital expenditures
     through cash flow from operations, cash on hand, and the bank lines of
     credit.
