                                OFFERING SUMMARY

   This summary is not complete and may not contain all of the information that
may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus carefully, including the financial data and related
notes, as well as the documents incorporated by reference, before making an
investment decision. In this prospectus supplement, except where the context
otherwise requires, we will collectively refer to MGM MIRAGE (formerly known as
MGM Grand, Inc.) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as "MGM MIRAGE,"
"we," "our" and "us."

MGM MIRAGE

   MGM MIRAGE is a leading operator of first class hotel/casino resorts with an
emphasis on the total gaming and entertainment experience. We own and operate
the MGM Grand Las Vegas--"The City of Entertainment," Bellagio, The Mirage,
Treasure Island at The Mirage and the New York-New York Hotel and Casino, and
we own a 50% interest in the joint venture that owns and operates the Monte
Carlo Resort & Casino, six of the most prominent hotel/casino resorts on the
Las Vegas Strip. We also own and operate the Golden Nugget hotel and casino in
downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Nugget Laughlin, located in Laughlin, Nevada,
Whiskey Pete's, Buffalo Bill's and the Primm Valley Resort, located in Primm,
Nevada, Beau Rivage, a beachfront resort located in Biloxi, Mississippi, and
the Holiday Inn(R) Casino Boardwalk on the Las Vegas Strip. On July 29, 1999,
we opened the MGM Grand Detroit casino in Detroit, Michigan. We also own and
operate the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Darwin, Australia, and we manage two
permanent and one interim casino in two provinces of South Africa. We also own
a 50% interest in the joint venture that is constructing and will own and
operate The Borgata, a hotel/casino resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Mirage Acquisition

   On March 6, 2000, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Mirage
Resorts, Incorporated, under which we acquired Mirage on May 31, 2000. The
merger had a total equity value of approximately $4.4 billion. In addition,
Mirage had outstanding debt of approximately $2.0 billion. As a result of the
merger, Mirage became our wholly owned subsidiary.


   We believe our acquisition of Mirage has helped us achieve the following
business objectives:

  .  control several of the premier gaming properties on the Las Vegas Strip;

  .  position us with a significant focus on the Nevada gaming market;

  .  strengthen selective geographic diversity while maintaining leadership
     positions in several major domestic and international gaming markets;

  .  focus on the most profitable customer segments, enabling us to leverage
     multiple revenue streams and cross-marketing opportunities from the
     combined customer base; and

  .  achieve significant operational synergies and cost savings
     opportunities.

   Our acquisition of Mirage has resulted in our complete ownership of several
of the premier gaming properties on the Las Vegas Strip, including the MGM
Grand Las Vegas, Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island and New York-New York,
as well as our 50% ownership interest in Monte Carlo. We believe that these
properties are among the most recognized hotel/casino resorts on the Las Vegas
Strip and that they are among the most visited "must-see" attractions in Las
Vegas. We believe these properties collectively generate more revenue than the
Las Vegas Strip properties of any other gaming operator and that the
consolidation of these properties has positioned us as the dominant competitor
in the upper-middle and premium segments of the Las Vegas gaming market.

   A principal element of our strategy is to maintain a focus on the Nevada
gaming market, the largest and most profitable gaming market in the world. We
view Nevada's gaming market as the industry's most attractive market due to the
state's stable legal and regulatory environment, the significant concentration
of hotel/casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, the steady growth of the Las
Vegas gaming market and the rapid growth of the

                                      S-1
<PAGE>

state's residential population. During 1998 and 1999, four hotel/casino resorts
opened on the Las Vegas Strip: Bellagio, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, The
Venetian and Paris Las Vegas. These new resorts were easily absorbed by the
market and fueled a 10.5% increase in the number of visitors to Las Vegas in
1999. The new Aladdin Resort and Casino opened in August 2000. We are unaware
of any other new hotel/casino resort expected to open on the Las Vegas Strip
before 2003. McCarran International Airport is expected to continue to expand
by adding 24 more gates in the next two years while construction and
development of the beltway, the largest transportation improvement project ever
undertaken by Clark County, is well underway. With regard to transportation on
the Las Vegas Strip, the Las Vegas Monorail Company, a Nevada nonprofit
corporation, issued $650 million in tax exempt public debt and commenced
construction of the four mile/seven station/nine train public transit system in
September 2000. Upon completion of construction, which is expected to occur in
the first quarter of 2004, the new transit system is anticipated to carry 20
million passengers annually between the eight hotel/casinos and the convention
center located on the route. In addition to the Las Vegas Strip, significant
Nevada gaming markets in which we have properties are downtown Las Vegas, Primm
and Laughlin. We believe that we are well positioned in the Nevada market, with
a total of 12 properties.

   We also believe that our acquisition of Mirage has strengthened our position
in gaming markets outside Nevada. We now own and operate gaming properties in
Detroit, Michigan, Biloxi, Mississippi and Darwin, Australia and manage gaming
properties in South Africa. We believe that our presence in these domestic and
international gaming markets serves to hedge the economic and general business
risk we face in the Nevada gaming market. We believe this selective geographic
diversification adds ancillary revenue streams and provides marketing
opportunities for our other hotel/casino resort properties.

   We believe that our acquisition of Mirage has provided us with important
further penetration of our target high-end customer base, as well as additional
diversification of overall customer demographics. Our hotel/casino resorts have
global brand names that serve diverse customer profiles. We believe MGM Grand
Las Vegas, Bellagio and The Mirage attract premium customers and New York-New
York, Treasure Island and Monte Carlo attract upper-middle customers. A greater
number of properties in each market segment allows for cross-marketing to the
same type of customer. We intend to leverage this larger customer base by
cross-marketing other products and services, including restaurants,
entertainment venues and golf courses.

   We acquired Primadonna Resorts, Inc. in March 1999 and Mirage Resorts,
Incorporated in May 2000. Both acquisitions have provided significant economic
and operational benefits to us resulting from opportunities to (i) eliminate
redundant operating costs; (ii) utilize economies of scale and best practices;
and (iii) implement revenue enhancement strategies. We believe that several
opportunities exist to reduce our combined cost structure through the
elimination of duplicative and redundant operating costs, particularly related
to overlapping corporate functions and duplicative sales and marketing offices
throughout the world. Furthermore, we expect to achieve economies of scale in
other areas such as payroll, purchasing, centralized room reservation systems
and high-end marketing opportunities, as well as savings from the elimination
of certain costs associated with non-strategic assets. We have already
eliminated approximately $117 million of annual costs since our acquisition of
Mirage on May 31, 2000, and expect to realize additional cost savings upon full
integration of Mirage. We also believe that the Mirage acquisition has
presented us with the opportunity to enhance revenue growth through cross-
marketing room reservations, restaurants, live entertainment, leisure
activities and gaming affinity programs. A primary goal of our senior
management team is to scrutinize the operating efficiency of the newly acquired
properties, and focus on achieving the highest EBITDA margins in the gaming
industry. In addition, the sale of non-strategic assets has resulted, and could
continue to result, in significant proceeds available for immediate debt
reduction. To date, we have sold approximately $230 million of such non-
strategic assets and currently have identified up to approximately $60 million
of such assets that we may sell in the next 12 to 18 months.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

   On January 8, 2001, we announced that we expect our fourth quarter earnings
to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.44 per share. This range compared to the
average estimate of $0.39 per share from analysts polled by First Call Corp. at
the time of the announcement.

   On January 17, 2001, we announced that we have completed a review of various
development opportunities resulting from our recent acquisition of Mirage
Resorts. As a result, we decided to begin the design phase for a world class
resort in Atlantic City on land we own immediately adjacent to The Borgata, our
joint venture with Boyd Gaming Corporation.

   While we continue to enhance our existing properties and review appropriate
concepts for our prime Las Vegas real estate, we are now focusing on a new
resort in the Atlantic City market. As a result, we also announced that we are
suspending the capitalization of interest associated with the 55-acre site in
Las Vegas adjacent to Bellagio and we will expense such interest until the
development process for the Las Vegas site is further advanced. This action
will reduce our net earnings by $0.20 to $0.25 per share on an annualized basis
beginning in 2001.

   Once the design phase is completed, we will announce the size, scope, theme
and budget for our new Atlantic City resort.

                                 things, restrict our and the subsidiary
                                 guarantors' ability to:

                                 .  incur liens on assets to secure debt;

                                 .  enter into certain sale and lease-back
                                    transactions; and

                                 .  merge or consolidate with another company
                                    or sell substantially all assets.

 Change of Control.............. If we experience specific kinds of changes in
                                 control, we must offer to repurchase the
                                 notes at the price described in the section

              Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial and Other Data

   The summary unaudited pro forma financial and other data gives effect to our
acquisition of Mirage and the financing transactions associated therewith. Our
acquisition of Mirage has been accounted for as a "purchase," which means that
the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the time the
companies were combined. We are providing the following financial information
to assist you in your analysis of our financial condition following our
acquisition of Mirage. We derived this information from audited financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 for both MGM MIRAGE and
Mirage and unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 for MGM MIRAGE. The information is only a summary of the unaudited pro
forma financial information presented on pages S-17 to S-20 and you should read
it in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes
contained in the annual reports and other information incorporated herein by
reference. Certain of Mirage's financial information has been reclassified to
conform with our presentation.

   While this pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon
currently available information using assumptions which we believe are
appropriate, you should be aware that this pro forma information may not be
indicative of what actual results will be in the future or would have been for
the periods presented. You should read the notes to the summary unaudited pro
forma financial statements on page S-8 for further discussion of the
assumptions we made to prepare this information.

    impairments of $113.6 million and $134.4 million for the year ended
    December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
    respectively.

(2) EBITDA consists of operating income plus depreciation and amortization,
    one-time charges (which consist of preopening and other, restructuring and
    write-downs and impairments) and corporate expense. EBITDA should not be
    construed as an alternative to operating income, as an indicator of our
    operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows generated by
    operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows,
    or a measure of liquidity, or as any other measure of performance
    determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
    addition, it should be noted that not all gaming companies that report
    EBITDA calculate this measure in the same manner as we do, and therefore,
    our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
    used by other gaming companies.

(3) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges: (i)
    "earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes
    and fixed charges, adjusted to exclude capitalized interest and (ii) "fixed
    charges" consist of interest, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization
    of debt discount and issuance costs and our proportionate share of interest
    cost of 50%-owned joint ventures.

(4) Includes current and long term portions of capitalized lease obligations
    and long term debt.

                                 RISK FACTORS

   Before you invest in the notes, you should be aware that such investment
carries various risks, including those described below. We urge you to
carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other
information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before you decide to invest in the
notes.

                          Risks Related to the Notes

The right to receive payments on the notes and the guarantees will be junior
to most of our existing and future borrowings.

   The notes and guarantees will rank behind all existing and future senior
indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE and each guarantor, respectively, including the
debt incurred under our senior credit facilities. As of September 30, 2000,
the notes and guarantees would have been subordinated to approximately $5.0
billion of senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to $214.4 million
of indebtedness of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. The indenture
governing the notes does not limit our ability to incur substantial additional
senior indebtedness, including subsidiary indebtedness. If we file for
bankruptcy, liquidate or dissolve, our assets would be available to pay
obligations in respect of the notes only after we pay all of our senior
indebtedness. We may not have sufficient assets remaining to make any payments
in respect of the notes. In addition, if we default on our senior
indebtedness, we may be prohibited, under the terms of the notes and
guarantees from making any payments on the notes and guarantees. The term
"senior indebtedness," as it applies to the notes and guarantees, is defined
in "Description of the Notes--Certain Definitions." The indenture does not
limit liens securing senior indebtedness and, in the event of certain
downgradings by rating agencies, the terms of our new senior credit facilities
and outstanding senior notes would require us to grant liens securing such
indebtedness.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and
financial results and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the
notes.

   We have approximately $6.0 billion of indebtedness. See "Capitalization."

   The notes will not restrict our ability to borrow substantial additional
funds in the future that may be either pari passu with or subordinated to the
notes, and the notes provide holders only limited protection should we be
involved in a highly leveraged transaction. If we incur additional
indebtedness, it could increase the related risks that we face.

   Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it
could:

  .  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
     conditions;

  .  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
     operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
     availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital
     expenditures and other general corporate activities;

  .  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
     business and industry;

  .  limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and

  .  place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other less leveraged
     competitors.

Servicing our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash and our
ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors, some of which are
beyond our control.

   Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to
fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash flow
in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors and other factors
that are beyond our control. In addition,

                                      S-9
<PAGE>

our ability to borrow funds under our senior credit facilities in the future
will depend on our meeting the financial covenants in the agreements, including
a minimum interest coverage test and a maximum leverage ratio test. We cannot
assure you that our business will generate cash flow from operations or that
future borrowings will be available to us under our senior credit facilities in
an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other
liquidity needs. As a result, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our
indebtedness on or before maturity. Our $1.0 billion 364-day senior revolving
credit facility (which we can extend upon receipt of approval from our bank
group) and our $461 million senior term loan facility mature during the second
quarter of 2001. Although we plan to use the net proceeds of this offering to
repay a portion of our senior term loan, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to extend or refinance any of the remainder of our indebtedness on
favorable terms or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow or
refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition.

Fraudulent conveyance statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to
avoid subsidiary guarantees.

   Various fraudulent conveyance and similar laws have been enacted for the
protection of creditors and may be utilized by courts to avoid or limit the
guarantees of the notes by our subsidiaries. The requirements for establishing
a fraudulent conveyance vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction that is
being applied. Generally, if in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other judicial
proceeding, a court were to find that the guarantor received less than
reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring indebtedness
evidenced by guarantees, and either

  .  was insolvent at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness,

  .  was rendered insolvent by reason of incurring such indebtedness,

  .  was at such time engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction
     for which its assets constituted unreasonably small capital, or

  .  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its
     ability to pay such debts as they matured,

such court could, with respect to the guarantor, declare void in whole or in
part the obligations of such guarantor under the guarantees. Any payment by
such guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could also be required to be returned
to it, or to a fund for the benefit of its creditors. Generally, an entity will
be considered insolvent if the sum of its respective debts is greater than the
fair saleable value of all of its property at a fair valuation or if the
present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that will be
required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, as they become
absolute and mature.

   We, meaning only MGM MIRAGE, have no operations of our own and derive all of
our revenue from our subsidiaries. If a guarantee of the notes by a subsidiary
were avoided as a fraudulent transfer, holders of other indebtedness of, and
trade creditors of, that subsidiary would generally be entitled to payment of
their claims from the assets of the subsidiary before such assets could be made
available for distribution to us to satisfy our own obligations. The indenture
for the notes will not limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness by us
and our subsidiaries or limit investments by us in our subsidiaries.

We may require you to dispose of your notes or redeem your notes if any gaming
authority finds you unsuitable to hold them.

   We may require you to dispose of your notes or redeem your notes if any
gaming authority finds you unsuitable to hold them or in order to otherwise
comply with any gaming laws to which we or any of our subsidiaries are or may
become subject, as more fully described in the sections entitled "Regulation
and Licensing" and "Description of the Notes--Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to
Gaming Laws."

An active trading market may not develop for these notes.

   Prior to this offering, there was no public market for the notes. We have
been informed by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the
notes after we complete this offering. However, the underwriters may cease
their market-making activities at any time. In addition, the liquidity of the
trading market in these notes, and the market price quoted for these notes,
may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for these types of
securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the
prospects for companies in our industry generally. As a result, you cannot be
sure that an active trading market will develop for these notes.

              Risks Related to MGM MIRAGE and the Gaming Industry

The gaming industry is highly competitive.

   To the extent that hotel room capacity is expanded by others in a city
where our hotel/casinos are located, competition will increase. The completion
of a number of room expansion projects and the opening of new hotel/casinos
led to an approximate 10% increase in hotel room capacity in Las Vegas in 1999
compared to 1998, thereby increasing competition in all segments of the Las
Vegas market. Three new mega-resorts opened in Las Vegas in 1999, and one
opened in 2000. New additions to the Las Vegas market could adversely impact
our future results. The business of our Nevada hotel/casinos might also be
adversely affected if gaming operations of the type conducted in Nevada were
to be permitted under the laws of other states, particularly California.
Similarly, legalization of gaming operations in any jurisdiction located near
Detroit, Michigan or Atlantic City, New Jersey, or the establishment of new
large-scale gaming operations on nearby Native American tribal lands, could
adversely affect our Detroit casino or our planned Atlantic City operations.
Any expansion of gaming activities in the Gulf Coast region could also have an
adverse effect on our Beau Rivage hotel/casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Gaming referenda have been approved or are being proposed in Mississippi and
California and adoption of these referenda could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

   Voters in California approved an amendment to the California constitution
on March 7, 2000 that gave Native American tribes in California the right to
offer a limited number of slot machines and a range of house-banked card
games. A number of Native American tribes have already signed and others have
begun signing gaming compacts with the State of California. Approximately 61
compacts had been approved by the federal government as of December 2000, and
casino-style gaming is legal in California on those tribal lands. At this
time, we cannot determine the impact this will have on our Nevada casinos.

   In Mississippi, in three separate instances, referenda were proposed which,
if approved, would have amended the Mississippi constitution to ban gaming in
Mississippi and would have required all currently legal gaming entities to
cease operations within two years of the ban. All three of the proposed
referenda have been ruled illegal by Mississippi state trial court judges. The
proponents of the most recent referendum filed a notice of appeal of the trial
court ruling with the Mississippi Supreme Court. The Mississippi Supreme Court
affirmed the trial court ruling. Any such referendum must be approved by the
Mississippi Secretary of State and signatures of approximately 91,700
registered voters must be gathered and certified in order for such a proposal
to be included on a statewide ballot for consideration by the voters. The next
election for which the proponents could attempt to place such a proposal on
the ballot would be in November 2002. While it is too early in the process for
us to make any predictions with respect to whether such a referendum will
appear on a ballot or the likelihood of such a referendum being approved by
the voters, if such a referendum were passed and gaming were prohibited in
Mississippi, it would have a material adverse effect on our Mississippi gaming
operations.

                                     S-11
<PAGE>

The gaming industry is highly regulated and we must adhere to various
regulations, maintain our licenses and pay gaming taxes to continue our
operations.

   The ownership, management and operation of gaming facilities are subject to
extensive federal, state, provincial, tribal and/or local laws, regulations
and ordinances, which are administered by the relevant regulatory agency or
agencies in each jurisdiction. These laws, regulations and ordinances vary
from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally concern the responsibility,
financial stability and character of the owners and managers of gaming
operations as well as persons financially interested or involved in gaming
operations. For a summary of gaming regulations that affect our business, see
"Regulation and Licensing." The regulatory environment in any particular
jurisdiction may change in the future and any such change could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, we are
subject to various gaming taxes, which are subject to possible increase at any
time.

The National Gambling Impact Study Commission's recommendations may adversely
affect the gaming industry and our operations.

   A National Gambling Impact Study Commission was established by the U.S.
Congress to conduct a comprehensive study of the social and economic impact of
legal gaming in the U.S. On April 28, 1999, the National Commission voted to
recommend that the expansion of gaming be curtailed. In June 1999, the
National Commission issued a final report of its findings and conclusions,
together with recommendations for legislative and administrative actions.
Below are highlights of some of those recommendations:

  .  Legal gaming should be restricted to those at least 21 years of age;

  .  Betting on college and amateur sports should be banned;

  .  The introduction of casino-style gaming at pari-mutuel racing facilities
     for the primary purpose of financially saving the pari-mutuel facility
     should be prohibited;

  .  Internet gaming should be banned within the U.S.;

  .  The types of gaming activities allowed by Native American tribes within
     a given state should not be inconsistent with the gaming activities
     allowed to other persons in that state; and

  .  State, local and tribal governments should recognize that casino gaming
     provides economic development, particularly for economically depressed
     areas. The National Commission differentiated casino gaming from stand-
     alone slot machines (e.g., in convenience stores), internet gaming and
     lotteries, which the National Commission stated do not provide the same
     economic benefits.

   Any additional regulation of the gaming industry which may result from the
National Commission's report may have an adverse effect on the gaming
industry, including us.

Tracinda Corporation owns a majority of our common stock and may influence our
Board of Directors and affairs.

   Tracinda Corporation and its sole stockholder beneficially own
approximately 59.8% of our outstanding common stock. Tracinda has the ability
to elect our entire Board of Directors and determine the outcome of other
matters submitted to our stockholders, such as the approval of significant
transactions.

                  Risks Related to Our Acquisition of Mirage

We may experience difficulties integrating Mirage into our operations.

   We are proceeding with the integration of the operations of Mirage.
However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to integrate these
operations without encountering difficulties. These difficulties could include
integrating different business strategies with respect to marketing,
integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and corporate
cultures, integrating different reservations systems and other technology and
managing relationships with other business partners. We have accrued
approximately $131 million for costs associated with the Mirage acquisition
and related integration activities, of which approximately $91 million had
been expended as of September 30, 2000. We cannot assure you that this accrual
will be adequate to cover all of the costs associated with the integration of
Mirage into our operations. Furthermore, the integration of operations may
temporarily distract management from our day-to-day business.

We may not achieve the expected synergies from our acquisition of Mirage.

   Our management believes that our acquisition of Mirage will allow us to
achieve significant cost savings related to duplicative departments, redundant
infrastructure and operating efficiencies, as well as revenue enhancement
opportunities upon full integration of Mirage. We have already eliminated
approximately $117 million of annual costs since our acquisition of Mirage on
May 31, 2000. However, the anticipated further benefits are based on
projections and assumptions, not actual results. As a result, we cannot assure
you that we will realize the anticipated benefits. Our ability to realize
these benefits could be adversely affected by difficulties in integrating
Mirage, the inability to achieve certain economies of scale and other risks
associated with achieving expected revenue enhancements and cost savings.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

   We plan to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes,
approximately $295.5 million after underwriting discounts and commissions and
before expenses and credits (see "Capitalization" and "Underwriting"), to
repay a portion of the outstanding amount under our $461 million term loan,
which had an initial principal amount of $1.3 billion. The term loan, which is
due April 6, 2001, was entered into as of April 7, 2000, and we borrowed $1.3
billion on May 31, 2000. We repaid $839 million under the term loan upon the
issuance in September 2000 of our 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2010. The term loan
bears interest (currently 7.89% per annum) based upon the Eurodollar or base
rate existing at the time of determination. The proceeds of the term loan were
used to finance a portion of the consideration paid for our acquisition of
Mirage.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

   On March 31, 2000, we paid approximately $11.3 million ($0.10 per share) in
cash dividends to our stockholders of record on February 10, 2000. As a result
of our acquisition of Mirage, our Board of Directors discontinued the
previously announced dividend policy on April 17, 2000. For the foreseeable
future, we do not anticipate paying additional dividends. We intend to retain
any earnings to fund the operation of our business and to service and repay
our debt rather than pay cash dividends to our stockholders. Furthermore, as a
holding company with no independent operations, our ability to pay dividends
will depend upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our
subsidiaries. Our senior credit facilities contain financial covenants that
could restrict our ability to pay dividends.

   The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as
    follows:
   Land.......................................................    $4,068,525
   Buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment...............     2,880,664
   Goodwill...................................................        28,545
   Other, net.................................................      (575,567)

</TABLE>

   The final purchase price and its allocation will be based on appraisals,
discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates by management and is
expected to be completed within one year of the closing of the Mirage
acquisition.

   The following are brief descriptions of the pro forma adjustments to the
statements of income to reflect MGM MIRAGE's acquisition of Mirage.

   (a) Represents the reduction in depreciation expense resulting from the
reduction in carrying value of certain Mirage property and equipment, offset
in part by amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets to which the
purchase price is allocated. The amortization of goodwill is on a straight-
line basis over 40 years and the amortization of other intangibles (which
include customer lists and trademarks) is on a straight-line basis over five
or 40 years.

   (b) Represents the additional interest cost associated with debt totaling
$3.2 billion used to fund the acquisition consideration and the amortization
of approximately $127 million of Mirage debt discount, offset in part by
additional capitalized interest on Mirage projects in development. Additional
pro forma interest cost totals $300.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1999 and $125.4 million for the first five months of 2000. Additional
capitalized interest totals $101.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1999 and $44.4 million for the first five months of 2000.

   (c) Represents the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.

   (d) Represents the MGM MIRAGE shares issued in the April 18, 2000 private
equity placement of 46.5 million shares at $26.50 per share less, for 2000,
the number of such shares already included in the historical outstanding share
amounts.

                SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

MGM MIRAGE (formerly MGM Grand, Inc.)

   Our selected consolidated financial and other data presented below as of
and for the five years ended December 31, 1999 have been derived from our
audited consolidated financial statements. Our audited consolidated financial
statements were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public
accountants. The selected consolidated financial and other data as of and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000 have been
derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements and include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at
such dates and results of operations for such periods. The results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.

(1)  EBITDA consists of operating income plus depreciation and amortization,
     one-time charges (which consist of master plan asset disposition,
     preopening and other, restructuring costs and write-downs and
     impairments) and corporate expense. EBITDA should not be construed as an
     alternative to operating income, as an indicator of our operating
     performance, or as an alternative to cash flows generated by operating,
     investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or a
     measure of liquidity, or as any other measure of performance determined
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition,
     it should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA
     calculate this measure in the same manner as MGM MIRAGE, and therefore,
     our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
     used by other gaming companies.

(2)  During 1996, $16.1 million, $13.1 million and $29.7 million was expended
     on the MGM Grand Las Vegas master plan, the refurbishment of MGM Grand
     Australia and the development of MGM Grand Atlantic City, respectively.
     During 1997, $174.1 million and $16.5 million was expended on the MGM
     Grand Las Vegas master plan and the development of MGM Grand Atlantic
     City, respectively. During 1998, $304.8 million, $5.5 million and $5.0
     million was expended on the master plan, the development of MGM Grand
     Atlantic City and the development of MGM Grand Detroit interim casino,
     respectively. During 1999, $83.1 million, $14.7 million and
     $161.9 million was expended on the master plan, the development of MGM
     Grand Atlantic City and the development of MGM Grand Detroit interim
     casino, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
     $80.0 million, $13.2 million and $140.2 million was expended on the
     master plan, the development of MGM Grand Atlantic City and the
     development of MGM Grand Detroit interim casino, respectively. During the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred approximately
     $123 million related to the development of a new golf course, the
     acquisition of land by the MGM Grand Detroit Casino and pre-construction
     activities and land acquisitions associated with ongoing development
     projects, including capitalized interest.

(3)  For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges: (i)
     "earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before income

(1) EBITDA consists of operating income plus preopening and related
    promotional expense, corporate expense and depreciation and amortization.
    EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, as
    an indicator of Mirage's operating performance, or as an alternative to
    cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities as an
    indicator of cash flows, or a measure of liquidity, or as any other
    measure of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles. In addition, it should be noted that not all gaming
    companies that report EBITDA calculate this measure in the same manner as
    shown herein, and therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly
    titled measures used by other gaming companies.

(2) Capital expenditures in 1995 include $59.3 million associated with room
    enhancement projects at The Mirage and the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. The
    1995 amount also includes $25.1 million related to the design and
    construction of Bellagio and $23.2 million associated with the acquisition
    of land in Biloxi, Mississippi for the site of Beau Rivage. Additionally,
    capital expenditures in 1995 include $17.2 million for the purchase of
    corporate aircraft. During 1996, capital expenditures include $266.2
    million and $31.8 million associated with the construction and development
    of Bellagio and Beau Rivage, respectively. During 1997, capital
    expenditures include $728.9 million related to the construction of
    Bellagio and $172.3 million related to the construction of Beau Rivage.
    Capital expenditures in 1997 also include $29.5 million for the
    acquisition of corporate aircraft, $27.6 million for the purchase of land
    on the Las Vegas Strip and $18.8 million associated with a hotel lobby
    remodel project at Treasure Island. During 1998, $617.4 million relates to
    the completion of Bellagio, and $268.0 million relates to the ongoing
    construction of Beau Rivage. The 1998 amount also includes $118.8 million
    associated with land acquisitions on the Las Vegas Strip and $42.7 million
    for the purchase of corporate aircraft. For the year ended December 31,
    1999, capital expenditures include $176.7 million for the completion of
    Beau Rivage, $57.2 million associated with a room enhancement project at
    Treasure Island and $40.1 million for the acquisition of fine art. The
    1999 annual amount also includes $22.8 million associated with
    construction projects at The Mirage, including a new theatre and
    additional convention, meeting and exhibit space.

(3) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges: (i)
    "earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before income
    taxes and fixed charges, adjusted to exclude capitalized interest and (ii)
    "fixed charges" consist of interest, whether expensed or capitalized,
    amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and Mirage's
    proportionate share of interest cost of 50%-owned joint ventures.

(4) Includes current and long term portions of long term debt.

                            BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

MGM MIRAGE

   MGM MIRAGE is a leading operator of first class hotel/casino resorts with
an emphasis on the total gaming and entertainment experience. We own and
operate the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island and the
New York-New York Hotel and Casino, and we own a 50% interest in the joint
venture that owns and operates the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino. These are six
of the most prominent hotel/casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. We also own
and operate the Golden Nugget hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas, the
Golden Nugget Laughlin, located in Laughlin, Nevada, Whiskey Pete's, Buffalo
Bill's and the Primm Valley Resort, located in Primm, Nevada, and Beau Rivage,
a beachfront resort located in Biloxi, Mississippi, and the Holiday Inn(R)
Casino Boardwalk on the Las Vegas Strip. On July 29, 1999, we opened the MGM
Grand Detroit casino in Detroit, Michigan. We also own and operate the MGM
Grand Hotel and Casino in Darwin, Australia, and we manage two permanent and
one interim casino in two provinces of South Africa. We also own a 50%
interest in the joint venture that is constructing and will own and operate
The Borgata, a hotel/casino resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Business Strategy

   Our objective is to be the premier gaming company in the world. The key
elements of our strategy are to:

  .  own and operate "must-see" entertainment destinations;

  .  maintain a strong focus on the Nevada gaming market with selective
     geographic diversity in domestic and international gaming markets;

  .  target the upper-middle and premium segments of the gaming customer
     base; and

  .  focus on operational cost controls and revenue enhancement opportunities
     to achieve superior EBITDA margins.

   Over time, the gaming industry has evolved from primarily a casino business
to a more diverse entertainment and tourism industry. As a result of this
development, traditional casinos have been replaced by larger, more attractive
hotel/casino resorts that appeal to several types of customers. This
transformation has been particularly evident in the Las Vegas Strip gaming
market over the past few years. We believe that our hotel/casino resorts on
the Las Vegas Strip (MGM Grand Las Vegas, Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure
Island and New York-New York), as well as the 50% owned Monte Carlo, represent
"must-see" entertainment destinations for a significant portion of visitors to
Las Vegas. We intend to capitalize on the visitor attraction to these six
properties to generate revenues from gaming, restaurants, entertainment and
other sources.

   We generate the majority of our revenue from our Nevada properties. The
Nevada market has displayed steady growth over the past several years. The
number of visitors to Las Vegas increased 10.5% in 1999 to 33.8 million
visitors. Given the strength of each property in the Nevada gaming market, as
well as the growth of this market, we will maintain our primary business focus
in this region. In order to diversify our business outside the Nevada market,
particularly the Las Vegas Strip market, and to capitalize on the strength of
other gaming markets, we own or operate gaming properties in other locations
domestically and internationally. We have six major properties on the Las
Vegas Strip, five major properties in other Nevada markets, two properties in
other leading domestic gaming markets (Detroit, Michigan and Biloxi,
Mississippi) and four properties in international gaming markets (Australia
and South Africa).

   We have historically focused our marketing efforts on the upper-middle and
premium segments of the gaming customer base. We believe that the demographic
elements of these groups, such as amount of disposable income, length of stay
and willingness to spend money, position these segments as the market's most
attractive customers. Given Mirage's similar focus on the upper-middle and
premium segments of the gaming customer base, the Mirage acquisition should
give us greater access to a larger portion of our target customer base while
reducing redundant costs. We also believe that our hotel/casino resorts have
global brand names which reach the full breadth of this large customer base.
We anticipate opportunities to leverage this larger customer base to

                                     S-24
<PAGE>

generate additional revenues by cross-marketing other products and services,
including restaurants, entertainment venues and golf courses.

   Given the competitiveness of many domestic and international gaming
markets, particularly the Las Vegas gaming market, we believe that operational
efficiency and profitability levels will become increasingly critical to the
success of gaming operators. We seek to manage operating costs and expenses
through various means, such as rigorous capital allocation analysis, well-
designed operational controls, utilization of free cash flow to repay
indebtedness and investments in enhanced management information systems. Our
senior management consistently seeks to maximize cash flow in order to achieve
our goal of having the highest EBITDA margins in the gaming industry.

 Nevada Properties

   MGM Grand Las Vegas. MGM Grand Las Vegas is a multi-themed destination
resort, located on approximately 116 acres, which management believes is a
"must-see" attraction for visitors to Las Vegas. The resort opened on December
18, 1993, and has over 350 feet of frontage on the Las Vegas Strip and
1,450 feet of frontage on Tropicana Avenue. The complex is easily accessible
from McCarran International Airport and from Interstate 15 via Tropicana
Avenue.

   The hotel/casino, which we believe is one of the largest in the world, has
5,034 rooms, including approximately 4,254 tastefully decorated standard guest
rooms, which were recently refurbished. The hotel also has 751 luxury suites,
ranging in size from 650 to 6,000 square feet, representing a suite to room
ratio which is one of the highest among the Las Vegas Strip properties. In
June 1999, the "Mansion at the MGM Grand" was completed and opened, which
added 29 exclusive villas ranging in size from 2,400 square feet to 12,000
square feet.

   The casino is approximately 171,500 square feet in size, which we believe
is one of the largest casinos in the world. The casino has 3,324 slot machines
and 157 table games, a new luxurious Mansion Casino, including premium play
facilities, a race and sports book and a keno lounge. The casino is themed
with various entertainment features which enhance the experience of the casino
patron.

   In an effort to continue a legacy of providing exceptional entertainment
through the leveraging of our highly recognizable brand name, in mid-1996, we
embarked on an extensive master plan transformation of MGM Grand Las Vegas
into "The City of Entertainment." The master plan program was designed to
enhance the quality of the entertainment experience, through a series of
substantive improvements and additions throughout the 116 acre destination
resort. Master plan projects included a 380,000 square foot state-of-the-art
conference center, a 6.6 acre pool and spa complex, an approximately 50 foot
tall polished bronze lion sculpture on a 25 foot pedestal, which is the
resort's signature, and a re-themed entertainment casino that includes a
Rainforest Cafe and a Studio 54 nightclub. Also completed in the master plan
was "Studio Walk," which portrays a Hollywood sound stage and reflects an
appearance that is inspired by a number of Hollywood landmarks, including the
Brown Derby restaurant, the Farmers Market food court and Griffith Park
Observatory retail facilities. The final elements of the master plan included
the "Mansion at the MGM Grand" completed in June 1999, the lion habitat
completed in July 1999 and the Mansion Casino completed in May 2000.

   Other entertainment facilities include: an 11,700 square foot indoor arcade
containing carnival games of skill and an extensive video arcade including
virtual reality simulators; a 660 seat showroom providing celebrity
entertainment; a 1,774 seat showroom specifically designed for the EFX
production show, our original grand spectacle special effects stage
production; 13 restaurants and a food court; 37 retail shopping outlets,
including 20 owned and 17 leased facilities; and a special events center,
which seats a maximum of 16,766 patrons, providing a venue for mega
entertainment such as: the spectacular millennium New Year's concert starring
Barbra Streisand; Tina Turner; Bette Midler; the Rolling Stones; Rod Stewart;
Neil Diamond; Elton John; Billy Joel; Jimmy Buffett; Phil Collins; and Bruce
Springsteen, as well as championship boxing events and various other sporting
events.

   MGM Grand Las Vegas uses the unique characteristics of the property to
target the following segments of the Las Vegas market: (a) free and
independent travelers; (b) tour and travel; (c) special events/conventions;
(d) high-end gaming; and (e) locals.

   Bellagio. Bellagio is an elegant European-style luxury resort located on an
approximately 90 acre site with 1,450 feet of frontage at the center of the
Las Vegas Strip, which opened on October 15, 1998. The resort overlooks an
eight acre lake. Each day, more than 1,000 fountains in the lake come alive at
regular intervals in a choreographed ballet of water, music and lights.
Bellagio features a wide variety of casual and gourmet restaurants in both
indoor and outdoor settings (including the world-famous Le Cirque, Picasso,
Olives and Aqua restaurants), upscale retail boutiques (including those leased
to Armani, Chanel, Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Fred Leighton and Tiffany & Co.) and
extensive meeting, convention and banquet space. Bellagio's specially designed

                                     S-27
<PAGE>

theatre offers luxurious seating overlooking a stage that rises and falls in
sections into what we believe to be one of the world's largest enclosed bodies
of water. The theatre is home to the spectacular show "O" produced and
performed by the talented Cirque du Soleil organization. The Bellagio Gallery
of Fine Art features rotating exhibitions of original masterpieces from
museums and private collections. The surroundings of Bellagio are lushly
landscaped with classical gardens and European fountains and pools. Inside, a
botanical conservatory is filled with vibrant colors, pleasing scents and
displays that change with the seasons.

   The Mirage. The Mirage is a luxurious, tropically-themed destination resort
located on approximately 100 acres with 2,200 feet of frontage shared with
Treasure Island near the center of the Las Vegas Strip. 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 54 foot volcano
and waterfall. Each evening, the volcano erupts at regular intervals, sending
blasts of steam and water 40 feet into the air, with flames that spectacularly
illuminate the front of the resort. Inside the front entrance is an atrium
with a tropical garden and additional water features capped by a 100 foot high
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 seven Atlantic
bottlenose dolphins and The Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy, an attraction
that allows guests to view the beautiful exotic animals of Siegfried & Roy,
the world-famous illusionists who star in a spectacular show at The Mirage. In
March 2000, construction of the Danny Gans Theatre in The Mirage, which
showcases this talented singer/impersonator, was completed.

   Treasure Island at The Mirage. Treasure Island is a pirate-themed
hotel/casino resort located next to The Mirage. Treasure Island and The Mirage
are connected by a monorail. The front of Treasure Island, facing the Las
Vegas Strip, is an elaborate pirate village where full-scale replicas of a
pirate ship and a British frigate regularly engage in a pyrotechnic and
special effects sea battle, culminating with the sinking of the frigate. The
showroom at Treasure Island features Mystere, a unique choreographic mix of
magic, special effects and feats of human prowess produced and performed by
Cirque du Soleil. In recognition of its superior customer service and recently
upgraded guestrooms, Treasure Island was awarded the Four Diamond rating by
AAA.

   New York-New York Hotel and Casino. New York-New York was completed in
December 1996 and opened to the public on January 3, 1997. The 47 story
destination resort replicates many of Manhattan's landmark buildings and
icons, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central
Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and a Coney Island-style roller coaster. Our New
York-New York hotel/casino is considered to be one of the most architecturally
distinctive and unique buildings in the world.

   The casino is approximately 84,000 square feet in size and has
approximately 2,086 slot machines and 77 table games. The casino features
highly themed interiors: Park Avenue with retail shops, The Financial District
consisting of the cashiers' cage, a Central Park setting in the central casino
area and Little Italy with its traditional food court set inside a typical
residential neighborhood. New York-New York features 2,024 guest rooms and
suites as well as seven specialty leased restaurants.

   Monte Carlo Resort & Casino. Monte Carlo is located on approximately 46
acres with 600 feet of frontage on the Las Vegas Strip, approximately one-half
mile south of Bellagio. We own 50% of this resort in a joint venture with
Mandalay Resort Group, which manages the resort. Monte Carlo has a palatial
style reminiscent of the Belle Epoque, the French Victorian architecture of
the late 19th century. The resort has amenities such as a brew pub featuring
live entertainment, a health spa, a beauty salon, a 1,200 seat theatre
featuring the world-renowned magician Lance Burton, a large pool area and
lighted tennis courts. Monte Carlo is connected to Bellagio by a monorail.

   Holiday Inn(R) Casino Boardwalk. The Boardwalk is located between Bellagio
and Monte Carlo on the Las Vegas Strip. This facility includes 654 hotel rooms
and 32,000 square feet of casino space offering 606 slot machines, 20 table
games and a race and sports book. Other amenities at the Boardwalk include a
coffee shop, a buffet, a snack bar, an entertainment lounge, two bars, a gift
shop, 7,300 square feet of interior meeting space, two outdoor swimming pools
and 1,125 garage and surface parking spaces.

   The Golden Nugget. The Golden Nugget is the largest, in terms of number of
guestrooms (according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority) and,
we believe, the most luxurious hotel/casino in downtown Las Vegas. The Golden
Nugget, together with its parking facilities, occupies approximately seven and
one-half acres and is located approximately six miles north of Bellagio and
five miles north of The Mirage and Treasure Island. It has received the AAA
Four Diamond Award for 23 consecutive years. The Golden Nugget has also
benefited from the "Fremont Street Experience," a $70 million entertainment
attraction developed by a coalition of several major downtown Las Vegas
hotel/casinos (including the Golden Nugget) in conjunction with the City of
Las Vegas. This attraction converted Fremont Street into a four-block-long
pedestrian mall, topped with a 90 foot by 1,400 foot special effects canopy.
Within the canopy are 2.1 million computer-controlled, four-color lights and a
540,000 watt sound system.

   The Golden Nugget Laughlin. The Golden Nugget Laughlin is located on
approximately 13 acres with 600 feet of Colorado River frontage near the
center of the tourist strip in Laughlin, Nevada, 90 miles south of Las Vegas.
The Golden Nugget Laughlin features a 32,000 square foot casino offering 17
table games and approximately 1,116 slot machines, 300 hotel rooms (including
four suites), three restaurants, three bars, an entertainment lounge, a deli,
an ice cream parlor and two gift and retail shops. Other facilities at the
Golden Nugget Laughlin include a swimming pool, a parking garage with space
for approximately 1,585 vehicles and approximately four and one-half acres of
surface parking for recreational vehicles. We also own and operate a 78-room
motel in Bullhead City, Arizona, across the Colorado River from the Golden
Nugget Laughlin.

   Primm Properties. We own and operate, through our wholly owned
subsidiaries, three hotel/casinos on both sides of Interstate 15 at the
California/Nevada state line in Primm, Nevada and the Primm Valley Golf Club
nearby in California.

   Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino, Primm Valley Resort & Casino, Whiskey
Pete's Hotel & Casino and the golf club form a major destination location and
offer, to the more than 12 million vehicles traveling through Primm on
Interstate 15, the first opportunity to wager upon entering Nevada and the
last opportunity before leaving. We estimate that more than 27% of all passing
vehicles stopped at the Primm properties in 1999.

   The Primm properties appeal to various market segments including the
family/entertainment-oriented Buffalo Bill's, the conference/leisure-oriented
Primm Valley and the value-oriented Whiskey Pete's. These hotel/casinos
attract drive-by and overnight customers, and offer good values on dining and
lodging, with an emphasis on service, quality, cleanliness and comfort. The
Primm properties offer an array of amenities and attractions, including
approximately 136,400 square feet of casino space, 2,644 hotel rooms, a 25,000
square foot conference center, ten restaurants and a variety of amusement
rides. The three casinos include 4,287 slot machines, 98 table games, poker,
keno and race and sports books. In addition, the Primm properties offer
swimming pools, a movie theater, motion simulation theaters, an interactive
water flume ride, "The Desperado" roller coaster and the "Turbo Drop" thrill
ride. The 6,100 seat Star of the Desert Arena hosts top-name entertainers and
has allowed the Primm properties to use special events as part of extended
stay packages.

   In July 1998, the Fashion Outlet of Las Vegas opened to the public. The
Fashion Outlet is a highly themed shopping experience containing approximately
400,000 square feet of retail space with over 100 retail outlet stores. The
Fashion Outlet is connected to Primm Valley and is owned and operated by
TrizecHahn Factory Shops, Inc.

 Golf Resorts

   We own and operate an exclusive world-class golf course known as "Shadow
Creek," located approximately five miles north of downtown Las Vegas and
approximately ten miles north of our Las Vegas Strip hotel/casinos. In
February 1997, the championship 18 hole Primm Valley Golf Club opened, located
one mile south of Primm in California. In the second quarter of 1998, Primm
Valley Golf Club opened its second championship 18 hole course. Each of these
golf courses was designed by Tom Fazio.

                                     S-29
<PAGE>

   We offer packages that include golf privileges, and, in connection with our
marketing activities, we invite our high-end casino customers to play Shadow
Creek on a complimentary basis.

 Michigan Property

   MGM Grand Detroit Casino. On July 29, 1999, we opened our interim casino
facility in Detroit, Michigan. The facility contains 75,000 square feet of
casino space, offers 2,428 slot machines and 86 table games and has parking
for approximately 3,083 vehicles in two parking garages and additional on-site
covered parking. The interior is decorated in an Art Deco motif with a retail
outlet, two themed bars, a VIP lounge and four restaurants: the Java Coast;
Grand Buffet; Venti Uno; and our signature upscale restaurant, The Brown
Derby. The site is conveniently located off of the Howard Street exit from the
John C. Lodge Expressway in downtown Detroit.

 Mississippi Property

   Beau Rivage. Beau Rivage is a luxurious beachfront resort located on a 41
acre site with 1,400 feet of frontage where Interstate 110 meets the Gulf
Coast in Biloxi, Mississippi. Beau Rivage opened on March 16, 1999. The
graceful driveway leading to Beau Rivage is lined with intricate gardens and
stately oak trees. Large ficus trees fill the resort's skylit atrium lobby.
Thirteen distinctive restaurants offer a variety of dining experiences, from a
cafe nestled in the atrium gardens to a steak and seafood restaurant
surrounded by tropical fish and coral reefs. Adjoining its lavish health spa
and salon is a lushly landscaped swimming pool, cafe and special events
pavilion overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Beau Rivage also offers a state-of-
the-art convention center, a shopping esplanade, a 1,550 seat theatre and a
brew pub with live entertainment nightly. Adjoining the hotel is a deluxe
marina capable of accommodating yachts of up to 125 feet in length.

 Australia Property

   MGM Grand Australia. On September 7, 1995, we, through our wholly owned
subsidiary, MGM Grand Australia Pty Ltd., completed the acquisition of the MGM
Grand Australia in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. MGM Grand Australia
is located on 18 acres of beachfront property next to the Arafura Sea on the
north central coast. The resort includes a public and private casino, 96
rooms, restaurants and other facilities. Casino operations include
approximately 28 table games, 371 slot machines and a keno lounge. We have
positioned MGM Grand Australia as a multi-faceted gaming and entertainment
facility for the local market and, to a lesser extent, as an exclusive
destination resort for international table game customers.

 South Africa Properties

   Through our wholly owned subsidiary, MGM Grand South Africa, Inc., we
manage two permanent and one interim casino in two provinces of the Republic
of South Africa. We managed an interim facility in Nelspruit from October 15,
1997 to November 17, 1999, at which time a permanent casino began operations.
The interim casino in Witbank began operations on March 10, 1998, and the
interim casino in Johannesburg operated from September 28, 1998 through
November 26, 2000, at which time the permanent facility, the Montecasino,
began operations. On July 30, 1996, we entered into an agreement with Tsogo
Sun Holdings (Pty) Limited, a joint venture company formed by the Southern Sun
Group and Tsogo Investment Holding Company (Pty) Limited, to act as the
exclusive casino project developer and manager for the joint venture company,
which contemplated applying for up to 15 casino licenses in the Republic of
South Africa. Under the agreement, we will earn fees for the management of all
casino operations of Tsogo Sun. Tsogo Sun will provide or procure all of the
financing necessary for the hotel/casino projects. In August 2000, Tsogo Sun
was awarded a casino license to develop a casino, hotel and theme park complex
in the city of Durban. We anticipate that an interim casino will open by mid-
2001 and that a permanent casino will open in late 2002.

Expansion Activities

   Detroit, Michigan

   The Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act provides that not more than
three casinos may be licensed at any one time by the State of Michigan and
that they be located only in the city of Detroit. In November 1997, at the
conclusion of a competitive selection process, the Mayor of Detroit designated
MGM Grand Detroit, LLC to develop one of the three authorized hotel/casino
complexes. MGM Grand Detroit, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, holds a
controlling interest in MGM Grand Detroit, LLC and plans to provide a majority
of the equity capital for construction of the permanent facility. A minority
interest in MGM Grand Detroit, LLC is held by Partners Detroit, LLC, a
Michigan limited liability company owned by residents and entities located in
the Detroit metropolitan area. As planned, the Detroit permanent facility is
expected to include a 100,000 square foot casino, an 800 room hotel with
ballroom, convention and meeting rooms, restaurants, bars, entertainment and
retail facilities. The total project cost could exceed $800 million and
development could take up to four years. Development of the permanent facility
will not proceed until after acquisition by MGM Grand Detroit, LLC of the
permanent development site from the City of Detroit, which is in the process
of attempting to acquire the site from a number of independent land owners.
The design, budget and schedule for development of the permanent facility are
at a preliminary stage, and will be subject to the risks attendant to large-
scale projects and may be subject to additional costs and delays beyond
preliminary estimates. No assurance can be given that we will develop a
permanent hotel/casino in Detroit, or if we do, as to its ultimate size,
configuration or cost.

 Atlantic City, New Jersey

   In January 1998, the City of Atlantic City deeded to Mirage approximately
180 acres (120 acres of which are developable) in the Marina area of Atlantic
City. In exchange, Mirage agreed to develop a hotel-casino on the site and
perform certain other obligations. Mirage also entered into an agreement with
two New Jersey State agencies for the construction and joint funding of road
improvements necessary to improve access to the Marina area. As called for by
the agreement, in October 1997, Mirage funded its $110 million portion and one
of the State agencies funded its $125 million portion of the $330 million
estimated total cost of the road improvements. Each party deposited its funds
into escrow accounts and the funds are restricted for construction of the road
improvement project. The other State agency provided the remaining $95 million
estimated cost of the project. There is a fixed-price design/build contract
for the road improvement project. Groundbreaking on the project took place in
November 1998, and construction is scheduled for completion in July 2001.

   In November 2000, our 50-50 joint venture with Boyd Gaming Corporation
began construction of The Borgata, a 2000-guestroom hotel/casino resort, on a
27-acre portion of the Marina site. Boyd is overseeing the construction and
will operate the resort upon completion. Construction is expected to be
completed in the summer of 2003 at a total project cost, including land, of
approximately $1.0 billion. In December 2000, we contributed the 27 acres of
land and Boyd contributed $90 million in cash to the joint venture, and the
joint venture obtained a $630 million secured bank credit facility, which is
non-recourse to MGM MIRAGE, to fund the project costs. Under the joint venture
agreement, we and Boyd are each required to contribute an additional $117
million in cash to the joint venture and Boyd is required to contribute any
additional cash necessary to fund project costs in excess of the agreed
project budget. As of December 31, 2000, each partner had made $17 million of
such additional cash contributions to the joint venture.

   As required by our joint venture agreement, we have designed and are
developing the common roads, landscaping and other master plan improvements
for the entire Marina site. As part of the agreement with the City, we are
required to remediate environmental contamination at the Marina site, which
was a municipal landfill for many years. A substantial portion of the
remediation work has been completed. We are currently evaluating our
development plans for the remainder of the Marina site, which may include
development of a wholly owned hotel/casino resort next to The Borgata.

   We must apply for and receive numerous governmental permits and satisfy
other conditions before construction of a new resort on the Marina site can
begin. We cannot be certain of the ultimate construction schedule or cost of
construction of The Borgata or any other project on the Marina site.

 Las Vegas Plans

   Mirage acquired the Boardwalk and various related properties on June 30,
1998. Combined with land we own adjacent to the Boardwalk, the acquisition
provides us with an approximately 55-acre site for future development with
over 1,200 feet of frontage on the Las Vegas Strip between Bellagio and Monte
Carlo. The design, timing and cost of any future development will depend on
several factors, including the market's ability to absorb new hotel/casino
resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, competition from gaming outside of Nevada and
the ultimate size and scope of the project, among other factors.

 Other

   We regularly evaluate possible expansion and acquisition opportunities in
both the domestic and international markets. These opportunities may include
the ownership, management and operation of gaming and other entertainment
facilities in Nevada or in states other than Nevada or outside of the United
States. We may undertake these opportunities either alone or with joint
venture partners. Development and operation of any gaming facility in a new
jurisdiction is subject to many contingencies. Several of these contingencies
are outside of our control and may include the passage of appropriate gaming
legislation, the issuance of necessary permits, licenses and approvals, the
availability of appropriate financing and the satisfaction of other
conditions. We cannot be sure that we will decide or be able to proceed with
any of these acquisition or expansion opportunities.

                           REGULATION AND LICENSING

Nevada Gaming Regulation

   The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in Nevada are
subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the related regulations and
various local regulations. The gaming operations of MGM MIRAGE in Nevada are
subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming
Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, the Clark County Liquor and
Gaming Licensing Board and the City of Las Vegas.

   The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada gaming
authorities are based upon declarations of public policy that are concerned
with, among other things:

  .  the prevention of unsavory or unsuitable persons from having a direct or
     indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity;

  .  the establishment and maintenance of responsible accounting practices
     and procedures;

  .  the maintenance of effective controls over the financial practices of
     licensees, including the establishment of minimum 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;

  .  the prevention of cheating and fraudulent practices; and

  .  providing a source of state and local revenues through taxation and
     licensing fees.

Any change in such laws, regulations and procedures could have an adverse
effect on our gaming operations.

   MGM Grand Hotel, LLC, dba MGM Grand Hotel/Casino, New York-New York Hotel &

Corp., dba the Golden Nugget Laughlin, Boardwalk Casino, Inc., dba Holiday
Inn(R) Casino Boardwalk, and Victoria Partners, dba the Monte Carlo
(collectively referred to as the casino licensees), operate casinos and are
required to be licensed by the Nevada gaming authorities. Each gaming license
requires the periodic payment of fees and taxes and is not transferable. MGM
Grand Hotel, New York-New York, The Primadonna Company and Golden Nugget
Manufacturing Corp. are also licensed as manufacturers and distributors of
gaming devices and the Boardwalk is licensed as a distributor of gaming
devices. MGM MIRAGE and certain of our subsidiaries are also licensed as
shareholders, members and/or managers of certain corporate and limited
liability company casino licensees. Our subsidiary, MRGS Corp., is licensed as
a 50% general partner of Victoria Partners, the joint venture with Mandalay
Resort Group that owns and operates the Monte Carlo. MGM MIRAGE and Mirage are
also each required to be registered by the Nevada Commission as publicly
traded corporations and as such, each is required periodically to submit
detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Commission and furnish
any other information that the Nevada Commission may require. No person may
become a stockholder or member of, or receive any percentage of profits from
the casino licensees, Golden Nugget Manufacturing or MRGS without first
obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada gaming authorities. MGM
MIRAGE, Mirage and the foregoing 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 Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any
debt security of MGM MIRAGE, including the notes, to file an application and
it may investigate any such holder to determine whether such holder is
suitable to own such debt security. The applicant for a finding of suitability
as the holder of such a debt security must pay all the costs of investigation
incurred by the Nevada gaming authorities. If the Nevada Commission

                                     S-33
<PAGE>

determines that such holder is unsuitable to own such debt security, then
under the Nevada gaming laws we can be disciplined, including the loss of our
approvals, if we without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission:

  .  pay that person any dividend, interest or any distribution whatsoever;

  .  allow that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right
     conferred through such debt securities held by that person;

  .  pay remuneration in any form to that person; or

  .  make any payment to such unsuitable person by way of principal,
     redemption, conversion, exchange, liquidation or similar transaction.

   If any notes are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record
holder of any notes may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial
owner of any notes to the Nevada Board and the Nevada Commission. A failure to
make such disclosure may be grounds for finding the record holder unsuitable.
We are also required to render maximum assistance in determining the identity
of the beneficial owner.

   We may not make a public offering of any securities without the prior
approval of the Nevada Commission if the securities or the 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
September 28, 2000, the Nevada Commission granted us prior approval to make
public offerings for a period of 10 months, subject to certain conditions.
However, the shelf approval may be rescinded for good cause without prior
notice upon the issuance of an interlocutory stop offer by the Chairman of the
Nevada Board. This offering of the notes is being made pursuant to 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 supplement or the accompanying prospectus or the
investment merits of the securities offered. Any representation to the
contrary is unlawful.

   Such shelf approval includes prior approvals of the subsidiary guarantees
being made by our corporate subsidiaries which are the subsidiary guarantors
under the notes. Likewise, such shelf approval includes prior approvals of
restrictions on the transfer of the equity securities of our corporate
subsidiaries licensed in Nevada and agreements not to encumber such equity
securities, in each case in respect of the notes.

   For a more detailed description of the various Nevada gaming regulatory
requirements applicable to us, see "Item 1. Business--Hotels and Gaming--
Nevada Government Regulations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, and "Item 1. Business--Regulation and
Licensing--Nevada" in Mirage's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999.

Michigan Government Regulation and Taxation

   The Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act subjects the ownership and
operation of casino gaming facilities to extensive state licensing and
regulatory requirements. The Michigan Act also authorizes local regulation of
casino gaming facilities by the City of Detroit, provided that any such local
ordinances regulating casino gaming are consistent with the Michigan Act and
rules promulgated to implement it.

   The Michigan Act creates the Michigan Gaming Control Board and authorizes
it to grant casino licenses to not more than three applicants who have entered
into development agreements with Detroit. The Michigan Board is granted
extensive authority to conduct background investigations and determine the
suitability of casino license applicants, affiliated companies, officers,
directors, or managerial employees of applicants and affiliated companies and
persons or entities holding a one percent or greater direct or indirect
interest in an applicant or affiliated company. Institutional investors
holding less than certain specified amounts of debt or equity securities are
exempted from meeting the suitability requirements of the Michigan Act,
provided such securities are issued by a publicly traded corporation, such as
MGM MIRAGE, and the securities were purchased for investment purposes only and
not for the purpose of influencing or affecting the affairs of the issuer.

                                     S-34
<PAGE>

   The Michigan Act imposes the burden of proof on the applicant for a casino
license to establish its suitability to receive and hold the license. The
applicant must establish its suitability as to integrity, moral character and
reputation, business probity, financial ability and experience,
responsibility, and other criteria deemed appropriate by the Michigan Board. A
casino license is valid for a period of one year and the Michigan Board may
refuse to renew it upon a determination that the licensee no longer meets the
requirements for licensure.

   The Michigan Board may, among other things, revoke, suspend or restrict a
casino license. Substantial fines or forfeiture of assets for violations of
gaming laws or rules may also be levied against a casino licensee. In the
event that a casino license is revoked or suspended for more than 120 days,
the Michigan Act provides for the appointment of a conservator who, among
other things, is required to sell or otherwise transfer the assets of the
casino licensee or former licensee to another person or entity who meets the
requirements of the Michigan Act for licensure.

   The Michigan Board has adopted administrative rules, which became effective
on June 23, 1998, to implement the terms of the Michigan Act. Among other
things, the rules impose more detailed substantive and procedural requirements
with respect to casino licensing and operations. Included are requirements
regarding such things as licensing investigations and hearings, record keeping
and retention, contracting, reports to the Michigan Board, internal control
and accounting procedures, security and surveillance, extensions of credit to
gaming patrons, conduct of gaming, and transfers of ownership interests in
licensed casinos. The rules also establish numerous Michigan Board procedures
regarding licensing, disciplinary and other hearings, and similar matters. The
rules have the force of law and are binding on the Michigan Board as well as
on applicants for or holders of casino licenses.

   The Detroit City Council enacted an ordinance entitled "Casino Gaming
Authorization and Casino Development Agreement Certification and Compliance."
The ordinance authorizes casino gaming only by operators who are licensed by
the Michigan Board and are parties to a development agreement which has been
approved and certified by the City Council and is currently in effect or are
acting on behalf of such party. The development agreement between MGM Grand
Detroit, LLC, Detroit and the Economic Development Corporation of Detroit has
been so approved and certified and is currently in effect. The ordinance
requires each casino operator to submit to the Mayor of Detroit and to the
City Council periodic reports regarding the operator's compliance with its
development agreement or, in the event of non-compliance, reasons for non-
compliance and an explanation of efforts to comply. The ordinance requires the
Mayor of Detroit to monitor each casino operator's compliance with its
development agreement, to take appropriate enforcement action in the event of
default and to notify the City Council of defaults and enforcement action
taken and, if a development agreement is terminated, it requires the City
Council to transmit notice of such action to the Michigan Board within
five business days along with Detroit's request that the Michigan Board revoke
the relevant operator's certificate of suitability or casino license. If a
development agreement is terminated, the Michigan Act requires the Michigan
Board to revoke the relevant guarantor's casino license upon the request of
Detroit.

   The Michigan Act effectively provides that each of the three casinos in
Detroit shall pay a wagering tax equal to 18% of its adjusted gross receipts,
to be paid 8.1% to Michigan and 9.9% to Detroit, an annual municipal services
fee equal to the greater of $4 million or 1.25% of its adjusted gross receipts
to be paid to Detroit to defray its cost of hosting casinos and an annual
assessment, as adjusted based upon a consumer price index, in the initial
amount of approximately $8.3 million to be paid by each casino to Michigan to
defray its regulatory enforcement and other casino-related costs. These are in
addition to the taxes, fees, and assessments customarily paid by business
entities situated in Detroit.

Mississippi Government Regulation

   We conduct our Mississippi gaming operations through an indirect
subsidiary, Beau Rivage Resorts, Inc., which owns and operates the Beau Rivage
casino in the City of Biloxi, Mississippi. The ownership and operation of
casino facilities in Mississippi are subject to extensive state and local
regulation, but primarily the licensing and regulatory control of the
Mississippi Gaming Commission and the Mississippi State Tax Commission.

                                     S-35

   The Mississippi Gaming Control Act, which legalized dockside casino gaming
in Mississippi, was enacted on June 29, 1990. Although not identical, the
Mississippi Act is similar to the Nevada Gaming Control Act. Effective October
29, 1991, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted regulations in furtherance
of the Mississippi Act which are also similar in many respects to the Nevada
gaming regulations.

   The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of Mississippi and the
Mississippi Gaming Commission seek to:

  .  prevent unsavory or unsuitable persons from having any direct or
     indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity;

  .  establish and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures;

  .  maintain effective control over the financial practices of licensees,
     including establishing minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs
     and safeguarding of assets and revenues, providing reliable record
     keeping and making periodic reports to the Mississippi Gaming
     Commission;

  .  prevent cheating and fraudulent practices;

  .  provide a source of state and local revenues through taxation and
     licensing fees; and

  .  ensure that gaming licensees, to the extent practicable, employ
     Mississippi residents.

   The regulations are subject to amendment and interpretation by the
Mississippi Gaming Commission. Changes in Mississippi law or the regulations
or the Mississippi Gaming Commission's interpretations thereof may limit or
otherwise materially affect the types of gaming that may be conducted, and
could have a material adverse effect on us and our Mississippi gaming
operations.

   The Mississippi Act provides for legalized dockside gaming at the
discretion of the 14 counties that either border the Gulf Coast or the
Mississippi River, but only if the voters in such counties have not voted to
prohibit gaming in that county. As of January 1, 2001, dockside gaming was
permissible in nine of the 14 eligible counties in the state and gaming
operations had commenced in Adams, Coahoma, Hancock, Harrison, Tunica, Warren
and Washington counties. Under Mississippi law, gaming vessels must be located
on the Mississippi River or on navigable waters in eligible counties along the
Mississippi River, or in the waters of the State of Mississippi lying south of
the state in eligible counties along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The law
permits unlimited stakes gaming on permanently moored vessels on a 24-hour
basis and does not restrict the percentage of space which may be utilized for
gaming. There are no limitations on the number of gaming licenses which may be
issued in Mississippi. The legal age for gaming in Mississippi is 21.

   Beau Rivage Resorts and Beau Rivage Distribution Corp., a subsidiary of
Beau Rivage Resorts, are subject to the licensing and regulatory control of
the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Beau Rivage Resorts is licensed as a
Mississippi gaming operator, and BRDC is licensed as a Mississippi distributor
of gaming devices. Gaming licenses require the periodic payment of fees and
taxes and are not transferable. Gaming licenses are issued for a maximum term
of three years and must be renewed periodically thereafter. Beau Rivage
Resorts received its Mississippi gaming license on June 20, 1996 and a renewal
on June 21, 1998. BRDC received its Mississippi distributor's license on
August 20, 1998. On May 18, 2000, the Mississippi Gaming Commission renewed
the licenses of both Beau Rivage Resorts and BRDC for terms of three years
each, effective June 22, 2000.

   On May 18, 2000, the Mississippi Gaming Commission registered MGM MIRAGE
under the Mississippi Act as a publicly traded holding company of Beau Rivage
Resorts and BRDC. As a registered publicly traded holding company, MGM MIRAGE
is subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Mississippi Gaming
Commission, and is required periodically to submit detailed financial,
operating and other reports to the Mississippi Gaming Commission and furnish
any other information which the Mississippi Gaming Commission may require. If
MGM MIRAGE is unable to satisfy the registration requirements of the
Mississippi Act, MGM MIRAGE and licensed subsidiaries thereof cannot own or
operate gaming facilities in Mississippi. Beau Rivage Resorts and BRDC are
also required periodically to submit detailed financial, operating and other
reports to the

                                     S-36
<PAGE>

Mississippi Gaming Commission and the Mississippi State Tax Commission and to
furnish any other information required thereby. No person may become a
stockholder of or receive any percentage of profits from a licensed subsidiary
of a holding company without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the
Mississippi Gaming Commission.

   Certain of our officers, directors and employees must be found suitable or
be licensed by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. We believe that we have
applied for all necessary findings of suitability with respect to these
persons, although the Mississippi Gaming Commission, in its discretion, may
require additional persons to file applications for findings of suitability.
In addition, any person having a material relationship or involvement with us
may be required to be found suitable, in which case those persons must pay the
costs and fees associated with the investigation.

   We may be required to disclose to the Mississippi Gaming Commission upon
request the identities of the holders of any debt or other securities. In
addition, under the Mississippi Act, the Mississippi Gaming Commission may, in
its discretion:

  .  require holders of debt securities of registered corporations to file
     applications;

  .  investigate the holders; and

  .  require the holders to be found suitable to own the debt securities.

   Although the Mississippi Gaming Commission generally does not require the
individual holders of obligations such as notes to be investigated and found
suitable, the Mississippi Gaming Commission retains the discretion to do so
for any reason, including but not limited to a default, or where the holder of
the debt instrument exercises a material influence over the gaming operations
of the entity in question. Any holder of debt securities required to apply for
a finding of suitability must pay all investigative fees and costs of the
Mississippi Gaming Commission in connection with the investigation. A finding
of suitability requires submission of detailed personal and financial
information followed by a thorough investigation. There can be no assurance
that a person who is subject to a finding of suitability will be found
suitable by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. The Mississippi Gaming
Commission may deny an application for a finding of suitability for any cause
that it deems reasonable. Findings of suitability must be periodically
renewed.

   If any of our securities are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the
record holder may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner
to the Mississippi Gaming Commission. A failure to make that disclosure may be
grounds for finding the record holder unsuitable. We must also render maximum
assistance in determining the identity of the beneficial owner.

   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 Mississippi Gaming
Commission may be found unsuitable. Any person found unsuitable and who holds,
directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of our debt securities beyond
the time that the Mississippi Gaming Commission prescribes, may be guilty of a
misdemeanor. We will be subject to disciplinary action if, after receiving
notice that a person is unsuitable to be a holder of its debt securities, we:

  .  pay the unsuitable person any dividend, interest or other distribution
     whatsoever;

  .  recognize the exercise, directly or indirectly, or any voting rights
     conferred through such debt securities held by the unsuitable person;

  .  pay the unsuitable person any remuneration in any form, except in
     limited and specific circumstances; or

  .  make any payment to the unsuitable person by way of principal,
     redemption, conversion, exchange, liquidation or similar transaction.

   The Mississippi Act requires that the certificates representing securities
of a registered publicly traded corporation bear a legend to the general
effect that the securities are subject to the Mississippi Act and the

                                     S-37
<PAGE>

regulations of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. On May 18, 2000, the
Mississippi Gaming Commission granted us a waiver of this legend requirement.
The Mississippi Gaming Commission has the power to impose additional
restrictions on us and the holders of our securities at any time.

   Substantially all loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing
transactions by a licensed gaming subsidiary must be reported to or approved
by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. A licensed gaming subsidiary may not
make a public offering of its securities, but may pledge or mortgage casino
facilities if it obtains the prior approval of the Mississippi Gaming
Commission. We may not make a public offering of our securities without the
prior approval of the Mississippi Gaming Commission if any part of the
proceeds of the offering is to be used to finance the construction,
acquisition or operation of gaming facilities in Mississippi or to retire or
extend obligations incurred for those purposes. The approval, if given, does
not constitute a recommendation or approval of the accuracy or adequacy of the
prospectus or the investment merits of the securities subject to the offering.
On May 18, 2000, the Mississippi Gaming Commission granted us a waiver of the
prior approval requirement for our securities offerings for a period of two
years, subject to certain conditions. The waiver may be rescinded for good
cause without prior notice upon the issuance of an interlocutory stop order by
the Executive Director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission.

   Under the regulations of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, Beau Rivage
Resorts and BRDC may not guarantee a security issued by MGM MIRAGE pursuant to
a public offering, or pledge their assets to secure payment or performance of
the obligations evidenced by such a security issued by MGM MIRAGE, without the
prior approval of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Similarly, MGM MIRAGE may
not pledge the stock or other ownership interests of Beau Rivage Resorts or
BRDC, nor may the pledgee of such ownership interests foreclose on such a
pledge, without the prior approval of the Mississippi Gaming Commission.
Moreover, restrictions on the transfer of an equity security issued by Beau
Rivage Resorts or BRDC and agreements not to encumber such securities granted
by MGM MIRAGE are ineffective without the prior approval of the Mississippi
Gaming Commission. The waiver of the prior approval requirement for MGM
MIRAGE's securities offerings received from the Mississippi Gaming Commission
on May 18, 2000 includes a waiver of the prior approval requirement for such
guarantees, pledges and restrictions of Beau Rivage Resorts and BRDC, subject
to certain conditions.

   Neither MGM MIRAGE nor Beau Rivage Resorts may engage in gaming activities
in Mississippi while MGM MIRAGE, Beau Rivage Resorts and/or persons found
suitable to be associated with the gaming license of Beau Rivage Resorts
conduct gaming operations outside of Mississippi without approval of the
Mississippi Gaming Commission. The Mississippi Gaming Commission may require
means for it to have access to information concerning MGM MIRAGE's and its
affiliates' out-of-state gaming operations. Gaming operations in Nevada were
approved when Beau Rivage Resorts was first licensed in Mississippi. MGM
MIRAGE received waivers of foreign gaming approval from the Mississippi Gaming
Commission on May 18, 2000 for the conduct of gaming operations in Michigan,
New Jersey, Northern Territory (Australia), Mpumalanga Province (Republic of
South Africa) and Gauteng Province (Republic of South Africa), and may be
required to obtain the approval or a waiver of such approval from the
Mississippi Gaming Commission before engaging in any additional future gaming
operations outside of Mississippi.

   The Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted a regulation in 1994 requiring as
a condition of licensure or license renewal that a gaming establishment's plan
include a 500 car parking facility in close proximity to the casino complex
and infrastructure facilities which will amount to at least 25% of the casino
cost. Infrastructure facilities are defined in the regulation to include a
hotel with at least 250 rooms, theme park, golf course and other similar
facilities. With the opening of its resort hotel and other amenities, Beau
Rivage Resorts is in compliance with this requirement. On January 21, 1999,
the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted an amendment to this regulation
which increased the infrastructure requirement to 100% from the existing 25%;
however, the regulation grandfathers existing licensees and applies only to
new casino projects and casinos that are not operating at the time of
acquisition or purchase, and would therefore not apply to Beau Rivage Resorts.
In any event, the Beau Rivage would comply with such requirement.

regulatory requirements applicable to us, see "Item 1. Business--Regulation
and Licensing-Mississippi" in Mirage's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

Australia Government Regulation

   The Northern Territory of Australia, like Nevada, has comprehensive laws
and regulations governing the conduct of gaming. Our Australian operations are
subject to the Gaming Control Act of 1993 and regulations promulgated
thereunder and to the licensing and general control of the Minister for Racing
and Gaming. MGM Grand Australia Pty. Ltd. has entered into a casino operator's
agreement with the Minister pursuant to which MGM Grand Australia was granted
a license to conduct casino gaming on an exclusive basis through June 30, 2005
in the northern half of the Northern Territory (which includes Darwin, its
largest city, where MGM Grand Australia is located). The license provides for
good faith negotiations to reach agreement on an extension of the license. The
license provides for a tax payable to the Northern Territory government on
gross profits derived from gaming, including gaming devices. The license is
not exclusive with respect to gaming devices, and the Minister may permit such
devices to be placed in limited numbers in locations not operated by MGM Grand
Australia. However, under the license, a portion of the operators' win on such
gaming devices is to be offset against gaming tax otherwise payable by MGM
Grand Australia.

   The license may be terminated if MGM Grand Australia breaches the casino
operator's agreement or the Northern Territory law or fails to operate in
accordance with the requirements of the license. The Northern Territory
authorities have the right under the Northern Territory law, the casino
operator's agreement and the license to monitor and approve virtually all
aspects of the conduct of gaming by MGM Grand Australia.

   Additionally, under the terms of the license, the Minister has the right to
approve the directors and corporate secretary of MGM MIRAGE and its
subsidiaries which own or operate MGM Grand Australia, as well as changes in
the ownership or corporate structure of such subsidiaries. MGM MIRAGE is
required to file with the Northern Territory authorities copies of all
documents required to be filed by MGM MIRAGE or any of its subsidiaries with
the Nevada gaming authorities. In the event of any person becoming the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of our outstanding stock, the Minister must be
so notified and may investigate the suitability of such person. If the
Minister determines such person to be unsuitable and following such
determination such person remains the beneficial owner of 10% or more of our
stock, that would constitute a default under the license.

New Jersey Government Regulation

   The ownership and operation of hotel/casino facilities and gaming
activities in Atlantic City, New Jersey are subject to extensive state
regulation under the New Jersey Casino Control Act and the regulations of the
New Jersey Casino Control Commission and other applicable laws. In order to
operate a hotel/casino property in New Jersey, a company must obtain a license
from the New Jersey Commission and obtain numerous other licenses, permits and
approvals from other state as well as local governmental authorities. The New
Jersey Act also established the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to
investigate all license applications, enforce the provisions of the New Jersey
Act and Regulations and prosecute all proceedings for violations of the New
Jersey Act and Regulations before the New Jersey Commission.

   The New Jersey Commission has broad discretion regarding the issuance,
renewal, revocation and suspension of casino licenses. The New Jersey Act and
Regulations concern primarily the good character, honesty, integrity and
financial stability of casino licensees, their intermediary and holding
companies, their employees, their security holders and others financially
interested in casino operations; financial and accounting practices used in
connection with casino operations; rules of games, levels of supervision of
games and methods of selling and redeeming chips; manner of granting credit,
duration of credit and enforceability of gaming debts; and distribution of
alcoholic beverages.

                                     S-39
<PAGE>

   Our wholly owned subsidiary, MGM Grand Atlantic City, Inc., has applied to
be licensed by the New Jersey Commission to operate a casino, and MGM MIRAGE
has applied to be approved as a qualified holding company. On July 24, 1996,
MGM MIRAGE and MGM Grand Atlantic City, Inc., and their then officers,
directors, and 5% or greater shareholders were found suitable for licensing by
the New Jersey Commission. On June 27, 1995, the New Jersey Commission found
Mirage and its then officers, directors and 5% or greater shareholders
suitable for licensing. These findings of suitability are subject to review
and revision by the New Jersey Commission based upon a change in any material
fact that is relevant to the findings.

   The New Jersey Act further provides that each person who directly or
indirectly holds any beneficial interest or ownership of the securities issued
by a casino licensee or any of its intermediary or holding companies, those
persons who, in the opinion of the New Jersey Commission, have the ability to
control the casino licensee or its intermediary or holding companies or elect
a majority of the board of directors of said companies, other than a banking
or other licensed lending institution which makes a loan or holds a mortgage
or other lien acquired in the ordinary course of business, lenders and
underwriters of said companies are required to be qualified by the New Jersey
Commission. However, with respect to a publicly traded holding company such as
MGM MIRAGE, a waiver of qualification may be granted by the New Jersey
Commission, with the concurrence of the Director of the New Jersey Division,
if the New Jersey Commission determines that said persons or entities are not
significantly involved in the activities of a casino licensee and in the case
of security holders, do not have the ability to control MGM MIRAGE or elect
one or more of its directors. There exists a rebuttable presumption that any
person holding 5% or more of the equity securities of a casino licensee's
intermediary or holding company or a person having the ability to elect one or
more of the directors of such a company has the ability to control the company
and thus must obtain qualification from the New Jersey Commission.

   Notwithstanding this presumption of control, the New Jersey Act provides
for a waiver of qualification for passive "institutional investors," as
defined by the New Jersey Act, if the institutional investor purchased
publicly traded securities for investment purposes only and where such
securities constitute less than 10% of the equity securities of a casino
licensee's holding or intermediary company or debt securities of a casino
licensee's holding or intermediary company representing a percentage of the
outstanding debt of such company not exceeding 20% or a percentage of any
issue of the outstanding debt of such company not exceeding 50%. The waiver of
qualification is subject to certain conditions including, upon request of the
New Jersey Commission, filing a certified statement that the institutional
investor has no intention of influencing or affecting the affairs of the
issuer, except that an institutional investor holding voting securities shall
be permitted to vote on matters put to a vote of the holders of outstanding
voting securities. Additionally, a waiver of qualification may also be granted
to institutional investors holding a higher percentage of securities of a
casino licensee's holding or intermediary company upon a showing of good
cause.

   The New Jersey Act requires the certificate of incorporation of a publicly
traded holding company to provide that any securities of such corporation are
held subject to the condition that if a holder is found to be disqualified by
the New Jersey Commission pursuant to the New Jersey Act, such holder shall
dispose of his interest in such company. Accordingly, we amended our
certificate of incorporation to provide that a holder of our securities must
dispose of such securities if the holder is found disqualified under the New
Jersey Act. In addition, we amended our certificate of incorporation to
provide that we may redeem the stock of any holder found to be disqualified.

   If the New Jersey Commission should find a security holder to be
unqualified to be a holder of securities of a casino licensee or holding
company, not only must the disqualified holder dispose of such securities but
in addition, commencing on the date the New Jersey Commission serves notice
upon such a company of the determination of disqualification, it shall be
unlawful for the disqualified holder to:

  .  receive any dividends or interest upon any such securities;

  .  exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right
     conferred by such securities; or

  .  receive any remuneration in any form from the licensee for services
     rendered or otherwise.


                                     S-40
<PAGE>

   If the New Jersey Commission should find a security holder to be
unqualified to be a holder of securities of a casino licensee or holding
company, the New Jersey Commission shall take any necessary action to protect
the public interest including the suspension or revocation of the casino
license except that if the disqualified person is the holder of securities of
a publicly traded holding company, the New Jersey Commission shall not take
action against the casino license if:

  .  the holding company has the corporate charter provisions concerning
     divestiture of securities by disqualified owners required by the New
     Jersey Act;

  .  the holding company has made good faith efforts including the pursuit of
     legal remedies to comply with any order of the New Jersey Commission;
     and

  .  the disqualified holder does not have the ability to control the company
     or elect one or more members of the company's board of directors.

   If the New Jersey Commission determines that a casino licensee has violated
the New Jersey Act or Regulations, or if any security holder of MGM MIRAGE or
a casino licensee who is required to be qualified under the New Jersey Act is
found to be disqualified but does not dispose of the securities, a casino
licensee could be subject to fines or its license could be suspended or
revoked. If a casino licensee's license is revoked after issuance, the New
Jersey Commission could appoint a conservator to operate and to dispose of the
hotel/casino facilities operated by such casino licensee. Net proceeds of a
sale by a conservator and net profits of operations by a conservator, at least
up to an amount equal to a fair return on investment which is reasonable for
casinos or hotels, would be paid to us.

   The New Jersey Act imposes an annual tax of 8% on gross casino revenues, as
defined in the New Jersey Act. In addition, casino licensees are required to
invest 1.25% of gross casino revenues for the purchase of bonds to be issued
by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or make other approved
investments equal to that amount. In the event the investment requirement is
not met, the casino licensee is subject to a tax in the amount of 2.5% on
gross casino revenues. The New Jersey Commission has established fees for the
issuance or renewal of casino licenses and casino/hotel alcoholic beverage
licenses and an annual license fee on each slot machine.

   In addition to compliance with the New Jersey Act and Regulations relating
to gaming, any property built in Atlantic City by MGM Grand Atlantic City,
Inc. or any other subsidiary of ours must comply with the New Jersey and
Atlantic City laws and regulations relating to, among other things, the
Coastal Area Facilities Review Act, construction of buildings, environmental
considerations and the operation of hotels.

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

   You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description
under the subheading "--Certain Definitions." In this description, the words
"MGM MIRAGE" refer only to the single corporation MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware
corporation, and not to any of its Subsidiaries.

   MGM MIRAGE will issue the   % senior subordinated notes due 2011 under an
indenture among itself, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) and
United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee. The terms of the notes
include those provisions contained in the indenture and those made part of the
indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. We refer to the   %
senior subordinated notes due 2011 in this section as the "notes."

   The notes constitute a series of debt securities (which are more fully
described in the accompanying prospectus). The following description of the
particular terms of the notes supplements, and to the extent inconsistent
therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the
debt securities set forth in the prospectus, to which we refer.

   The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the
indenture. This summary does not restate the indenture in its entirety. We
urge you to read the indenture because the indenture, and not this
description, defines your rights as a holder of the notes. Copies of the
indenture may be obtained from MGM MIRAGE.

Ranking

   The notes will be:

  .  general unsecured obligations of MGM MIRAGE;

  .  subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior
     Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE;

  .  equal in right of payment with all other existing and future
     Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE (except for future Indebtedness that may be
     subordinated to the notes); and

  .  guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by each of the Subsidiaries of
     MGM MIRAGE other than Excluded Subsidiaries (see "--Subsidiary
     Guarantees" below).

   As of September 30, 2000, MGM MIRAGE and the Subsidiary Guarantors would
have had approximately $5.0 billion of Senior Indebtedness, including
approximately $2.7 billion of borrowings under the Credit Facilities and $2.3
billion under the Senior Notes (including the Mirage Notes).

   In addition, as of September 30, 2000 the Subsidiaries of MGM MIRAGE that
are not Subsidiary Guarantors would have had total Indebtedness of
approximately $214.4 million (excluding Indebtedness owed to MGM MIRAGE or any
Subsidiary Guarantor).

   The indenture does not contain any limitation on the amount of Indebtedness
of MGM MIRAGE or its Subsidiaries, including Senior Indebtedness under the
Credit Facilities. In addition, the Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes
(including the Mirage Notes) will be equally and ratably secured by
substantially all assets of MGM MIRAGE and its Subsidiaries (other than
Excluded Subsidiaries) in the event of certain downgradings by rating agencies
or possibly in other circumstances. See "Description of Our Long Term Debt" in
the accompanying prospectus. The indenture does not limit liens on Senior
Indebtedness or, if such liens are created, require creation of any
corresponding liens securing the notes and guarantees. Except as described
under "Description of Debt Securities--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of
Assets" in the accompanying prospectus or "--Additional Covenants of MGM
MIRAGE" below, the indenture does not contain any other provisions that would
afford holders of the notes protection in the event of (i) a highly leveraged
or similar transaction involving

                                     S-42
<PAGE>

MGM MIRAGE or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) a reorganization, restructuring,
merger or similar transaction involving MGM MIRAGE or any of its Subsidiaries
that may adversely affect the holders of the notes. In addition, subject to
the limitations set forth under "Description of Debt Securities--Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of Assets" in the accompanying prospectus and under "--
Additional Covenants of MGM MIRAGE" below, MGM MIRAGE or any of its
Subsidiaries may, in the future, enter into certain transactions that would
increase the amount of Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE or its Subsidiaries or
substantially reduce or eliminate the assets of MGM MIRAGE or its
Subsidiaries, which may have an adverse effect on MGM MIRAGE's ability to
service its Indebtedness, including the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

   The indenture provides for the issuance by MGM MIRAGE of notes with a
maximum aggregate principal amount of $300 million. MGM MIRAGE will issue the
notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes
will mature on     , 2011.

   Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of  % per annum. Interest
will be payable semiannually in arrears on      and     , commencing on     ,
2001. MGM MIRAGE will make each interest payment to the holders of record of
the notes on the immediately preceding      and     .

   Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if
interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.

Subsidiary Guarantees

   MGM MIRAGE's payment Obligations under the notes will be jointly and
severally guaranteed (the "Subsidiary Guarantees") by each of the Subsidiaries
of MGM MIRAGE other than the Excluded Subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary
Guarantors"). The Excluded Subsidiaries will include all non-U.S. Subsidiaries
of MGM MIRAGE, and such non-U.S. Subsidiaries' U.S. holding companies. The
Excluded Subsidiaries also include MGM Grand Detroit, LLC and MGM Grand
Detroit II, LLC; MGM Grand Detroit, LLC is a guarantor under the Credit
Facilities but such guarantee is limited to the amount of the proceeds of
borrowings under the Credit Facilities made available to MGM Grand Detroit,
LLC. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be (i) subordinated to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor on the same
basis as the notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE and
(ii) equal in right of payment with all other existing and future Indebtedness
of the Subsidiary Guarantor (except for future Indebtedness that may be
subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantee). The obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited so as not to
constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. On September 28,
2000, the Nevada Commission granted MGM MIRAGE prior approval to make public
offerings for a period of ten months, subject to certain conditions ("Shelf
Approval"). This offering is being made pursuant to the Shelf Approval. Such
Shelf Approval includes prior approvals by the Nevada Commission of the
Subsidiary Guarantees by Subsidiaries of MGM MIRAGE to guarantee the payment
Obligations of MGM MIRAGE under the notes. On May 18, 2000, the Mississippi
Gaming Commission granted MGM MIRAGE a similar Shelf Approval for a period of
two years, which includes prior approval of the guarantees by the corporate
Subsidiaries of MGM MIRAGE licensed in Mississippi. See "Regulation and
Licensing--Nevada Gaming Regulation" and "--Mississippi Government
Regulation."

   In addition to the Subsidiary Guarantors named in the indenture on the
closing date, the indenture will provide that, except for Excluded
Subsidiaries, any existing or future Subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE shall become a
Subsidiary Guarantor if such Subsidiary Incurs any Indebtedness or if and for
so long as such Subsidiary provides a guarantee in respect of Senior
Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE.

                                     S-43

   No Subsidiary Guarantor will be permitted to consolidate with or merge with
or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person)
another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such
Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

     (i) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Person
  formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such
  Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary
  Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee and the indenture pursuant to a
  supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
  trustee; and

     (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or
  Event of Default exists.

   The indenture will provide that in the event of (a) a sale or other
disposition of all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of
merger, consolidation or otherwise or (b) a sale or other disposition of all
of the capital stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor, then the Subsidiary
Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of such a
merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such
Subsidiary Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event
of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of the Subsidiary
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee, except in the event of a sale or other disposition to
MGM MIRAGE, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof.

Optional Redemption

   Upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, MGM MIRAGE may redeem
the notes in whole, but not in part, at any time at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption
date.

   Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be
redeemed at its registered address.

   Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On
and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes called for
redemption unless MGM MIRAGE defaults in payment of the redemption price.

Mandatory Redemption

   MGM MIRAGE will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments in respect of the notes.

Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws

   Each holder, by accepting a note, shall be deemed to have agreed that if
the gaming authority of any jurisdiction in which MGM MIRAGE or any of its
Subsidiaries conducts or proposes to conduct gaming requires that a person who
is a holder or the beneficial owner of notes be licensed, qualified or found
suitable under applicable gaming laws, such holder or beneficial owner, as the
case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of
suitability within the required time period. If such Person fails to apply or
become licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable, MGM MIRAGE shall have the
right, at its option:

  .  to require such Person to dispose of its notes or beneficial interest
     therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of MGM MIRAGE's election or
     such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such gaming
     authority; or

  .  to redeem such notes, which redemption date may be less than 30 days
     following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the
     applicable gaming authority, at a redemption price equal to:

      (1) the lesser of:

        (a) the Person's cost, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
    the earlier of the redemption date or the date of the finding of
    unsuitability or failure to comply; and

                                     S-44
<PAGE>

        (b) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
    interest, if any, to the earlier of the redemption date or the date of
    the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply; or

      (2) such other amount as may be required by applicable law or order of
  the applicable gaming authority.

   MGM MIRAGE shall notify the trustee in writing of any such redemption as
soon as practicable. MGM MIRAGE shall not be responsible for any costs or
expenses any holder of MGM MIRAGE notes may incur in connection with its
application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability.

Subordination

   The payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on, and all other
Obligations, owing in respect of the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will
be subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the indenture and the
Subsidiary Guarantees, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior
Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

   The holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in
full in cash of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Indebtedness
(including interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable
Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any
such proceeding) before the holders of notes will be entitled to receive any
payment of any kind or character with respect to the notes (except that
holders of notes may receive payments made from the trust described under
"Description of Debt Securities--Defeasance of Debt Securities or Certain
Covenants in Certain Circumstances" in the accompanying prospectus), in the
event of any distribution to creditors of MGM MIRAGE or any Subsidiary
Guarantor:

  .  in a total or partial liquidation or dissolution of MGM MIRAGE or any
     Subsidiary Guarantor;

  .  in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
     proceeding relating to MGM MIRAGE or any Subsidiary Guarantor or its
     respective property;

  .  in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

  .  in any marshalling of assets and liabilities of MGM MIRAGE or any
     Subsidiary Guarantor.

   MGM MIRAGE and each Subsidiary Guarantor also may not make any payment in
respect of the notes (except from the trust described under "Description of
Debt Securities--Defeasance of Debt Securities or Certain Covenants in Certain
Circumstances" in the accompanying prospectus) if:

  .  a payment default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is
     continuing; or

  .  any other default occurs and is continuing on Designated Senior
     Indebtedness that permits holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness
     to accelerate its maturity and the trustee receives a notice of such
     default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the Representative of any
     Designated Senior Indebtedness.

   Payments on the notes may and shall be resumed:

  .  in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is
     cured or waived; and

  .  in case of a nonpayment default, the earlier of the date on which such
     nonpayment default is cured or waived (so long as no other nonpayment
     default exists) or 179 days after the date on which the applicable
     Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any
     Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated.

   No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days
have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage
Notice.

   No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the trustee shall be, or be made,
the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall
have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 180 days.

                                     S-45
<PAGE>

   MGM MIRAGE must promptly notify holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness
or their Representative if payment of the notes is accelerated because of an
Event of Default.

   As a result of the subordination provisions described above, in the event
of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of MGM MIRAGE or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, holders of these notes may recover less ratably than creditors of
MGM MIRAGE and the Subsidiary Guarantors who are holders of Senior
Indebtedness. The indenture does not limit the ability of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor to incur Senior Indebtedness or any other Indebtedness or
the ability of any Excluded Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness. See "Risk
Factors."

Additional Covenants of MGM MIRAGE

 Limitation on Liens

   Other than as provided below under "--Exempted Liens and Sale and Lease-
Back Transactions," neither MGM MIRAGE nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
may issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any
Principal Property or on any evidences of Indebtedness or shares of capital
stock of, or other ownership interests in, any Subsidiaries (regardless of
whether the Principal Property, Indebtedness, capital stock or ownership
interests were acquired before or after the date of the indenture) without
effectively providing that the notes shall be secured equally and ratably with
(or prior to) such Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness shall be so
secured, except that this restriction will not apply to:

     (a) Liens existing on the date of original issuance of the notes;

     (b) Liens affecting property of a corporation or other entity existing
  at the time it becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor or at the time it is merged
  into or consolidated with MGM MIRAGE or a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided
  that such Liens are not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation
  of, such entity becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or such merger or
  consolidation and do not extend to or cover property of MGM MIRAGE or any
  Subsidiary Guarantor other then property of the entity so acquired or which
  becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor);

     (c) Liens (including purchase money Liens) on property existing at the
  time of acquisition thereof on property acquired after the date hereof or
  to secure Indebtedness Incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 24
  months after the acquisition for the purpose of financing all or part of
  the purchase price of property acquired after the date hereof (provided
  that such Liens do not extend to or cover any property of MGM MIRAGE or any
  Subsidiary Guarantor other than the property so acquired);

     (d) Liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost of
  improvements or construction thereon or Indebtedness Incurred to provide
  funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of such
  improvements or construction;

     (e) Liens which secure Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE to MGM
  MIRAGE or to a Subsidiary Guarantor or which secure Indebtedness of MGM
  MIRAGE to a Subsidiary Guarantor;

     (f) Liens on the stock, partnership or other equity interest of MGM
  MIRAGE or Subsidiary Guarantor in any Joint Venture or any Subsidiary which
  owns an equity interest in such Joint Venture to secure Indebtedness,
  provided the amount of such Indebtedness is contributed and/or advanced
  solely to such Joint Venture;

     (g) Liens securing Senior Indebtedness;

     (h) certain Liens to government entities, including pollution control or
  industrial revenue bond financing;

     (i) Liens required by any contract or statute in order to permit MGM
  MIRAGE or a Subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE to perform any contract or subcontract
  made by it with or at the request of a governmental entity;

     (j) mechanic's, materialman's, carrier's or other like Liens, arising in
  the ordinary course of business;

     (k) certain Liens for taxes or assessments and similar charges;

                                     S-46
<PAGE>

     (l) zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, covenants, reservations,
  restrictions on the use of real property and certain other minor
  irregularities of title; and

     (m) any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any
  Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses
  (a) through (g).

   The foregoing covenant shall not apply to equity securities of future
Subsidiaries of MGM MIRAGE to the extent such covenant constitutes an
agreement not to encumber the equity securities of such Subsidiary and
requires a regulatory approval, unless and until such approval is obtained.
See "Regulation and Licensing--Nevada Gaming Regulation," "--Mississippi
Government Regulation" and "Description of Notes--Gaming Approvals."

 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions

   Other than as provided below under "--Exempted Liens and Sale and Lease-
Back Transactions," neither MGM MIRAGE nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will enter
into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction unless either:

     (i) MGM MIRAGE or such Subsidiary Guarantor would be entitled, pursuant
  to the provisions described in clauses (a) through (m) under "--Limitation
  on Liens" above, to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the
  property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the notes; or

     (ii) an amount equal to the greater of the net cash proceeds of such
  sale or the fair market value of such property (in the good faith opinion
  of MGM MIRAGE's board of directors) is applied within 120 days to the
  retirement or other discharge of its Funded Debt.

 Exempted Liens and Sale and Lease-Back Transactions

   Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in "--Limitation on Liens" and
"--Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions" above, MGM MIRAGE or any
Subsidiary Guarantor may create, assume or suffer to exist Liens or enter into
Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted as described above,
provided that at the time of such event, and after giving effect thereto, the
sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by such Liens (not including Liens
permitted under "--Limitation on Liens" above) plus all Attributable Debt in
respect of such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including
Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under "--Limitation on Sale and
Lease-Back Transactions" above), measured, in each case, at the time any such
Lien is incurred or any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is entered into,
by MGM MIRAGE and the Subsidiary Guarantors does not exceed 15% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

 Limitation on Senior Subordinated Indebtedness

   MGM MIRAGE will not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of
payment to any Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is pari passu
with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the notes. No Subsidiary
Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment
to any Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is pari passu with, or
subordinated in right of payment to, any Subsidiary Guarantee executed by the
Subsidiary Guarantor.

 Subsidiary Guarantees

   In addition to the Subsidiary Guarantors named in the indenture on the
closing date, the indenture will provide that any existing or future
Subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) shall become a
Subsidiary Guarantor, on a senior subordinated basis (pursuant to
subordination provisions substantially similar to those described above under
the subheading "Subordination" above) of MGM MIRAGE's payment Obligations
under the notes and the indenture, if such Subsidiary Incurs any Indebtedness
or if and for so long as such Subsidiary provides a guarantee in respect of
Senior Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE.


                                     S-47
<PAGE>

 Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control

   Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of notes shall have
the right to require MGM MIRAGE to repurchase all or any part of such holder's
notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at
a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

   Within 30 days following any Change of Control, MGM MIRAGE or, at MGM
MIRAGE's request, the trustee will mail to each holder of notes a notice
stating:

  .  that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is
     being made pursuant to the covenant entitled "Repurchase at the Option
     of Holders Upon a Change of Control" and that all notes timely tendered
     will be accepted for payment;

  .  the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date, which shall
     be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a business
     day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
     notice is mailed;

  .  the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control;
     and

  .  the procedures that holders of notes must follow in order to tender
     their notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that
     holders of notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender
     notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

   MGM MIRAGE will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of
Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other securities
laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described
hereunder, MGM MIRAGE will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the
covenant described hereunder by virtue of such compliance.

   The Change of Control repurchase feature is a result of negotiations
between MGM MIRAGE and representatives of the underwriters. Management has no
present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control,
although it is possible that MGM MIRAGE would decide to do so in the future.

   The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale,
transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of "all or
substantially all" the assets of MGM MIRAGE. Although there is a developing
body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no
precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law.
Accordingly, if MGM MIRAGE disposes of less than all its assets by any of the
means described above, the ability of a holder of notes to require MGM MIRAGE
to repurchase its notes may be uncertain. In such a case, holders of the notes
may not be able to resolve this uncertainty without resorting to legal action.

   The Credit Facilities provide that the occurrence of certain of the events
that would constitute a Change of Control could lead to termination of
commitments and require the early repayment of loans under the Credit
Facilities. Other future debt of MGM MIRAGE may contain prohibitions of
certain events which would constitute a Change of Control or require such debt
to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by holders
of notes of their right to require MGM MIRAGE to repurchase such notes could
cause a default under existing or future debt of MGM MIRAGE, even if the
Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such
repurchase on MGM MIRAGE. If repurchase upon a Change of Control would
constitute a default on Designated Senior Indebtedness, a Payment Blockage
Notice could result, preventing such repurchase. Finally, MGM MIRAGE's ability
to pay cash to holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by its then
existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds
will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. MGM
MIRAGE's failure to make a required Change of Control Offer or to purchase
notes in connection with a Change of Control Offer would result in a default
under the indenture. Such

                                     S-48
<PAGE>

a default would, in turn, constitute a default under other existing debt of
MGM MIRAGE, and may constitute a default under future debt as well. MGM
MIRAGE's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a
Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the
occurrence of such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the notes. See "Supplemental Modification
and Waiver Provisions."

   MGM MIRAGE will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by MGM
MIRAGE and purchases all of the notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer.

Supplemental Events of Default

   Reference is made to the section entitled "Description of Debt Securities"
in the accompanying prospectus for a description of events of default
applicable to the notes under the indenture. In addition to such events of
default, the following events shall each constitute an event of default
applicable to the notes under the indenture:

     (i) the acceleration of the maturity of any Indebtedness of MGM MIRAGE
  or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Non-recourse Indebtedness), at any
  one time, in an amount in excess of the greater of (a) $25 million and (b)
  5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, if such acceleration is not
  annulled within 30 days after written notice as provided in the indenture;

     (ii) entry of final judgments against MGM MIRAGE or any Subsidiary
  Guarantor which remain undischarged for a period of 60 days, provided that
  the aggregate of all such judgments exceeds $25 million and judgments
  exceeding $25 million remain undischarged for 60 days after notice; and

     (iii) the failure (a) to make timely any offer to purchase the notes or
  (b) on the applicable purchase date, to purchase the notes required to be
  purchased, in each case, as required under "Additional Covenants of MGM
  MIRAGE--Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control."

Supplemental Modification or Waiver Provisions

   Reference is made to the section entitled "Description of Debt Securities--
Modification and Waiver" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of
provisions pertaining to modifications or waivers of the indenture, provided
with respect to these notes and the indenture, references in such section to
MGM MIRAGE shall also be deemed to include the Subsidiary Guarantors. In
addition to the other modifications or waivers specified therein that require
the consent of each affected holder of the notes, a release of any Subsidiary
Guarantor (except in accordance with the provisions of the indenture) requires
the consent of each affected holder of notes. In addition, no such
modification or waiver may, without the consent of the holder of each note, at
any time after a Change of Control has occurred, change the time at which the
Change of Control Offer related thereto must be made or change the time or
price at which the notes must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of
Control Offer.

Gaming Approvals

   Restrictions on the transfer of the equity securities of the corporate
Subsidiaries licensed in Nevada of MGM MIRAGE, and agreements not to encumber
such equity securities, in each case in respect of the notes, require the
prior approval of the Nevada Commission in order to be effective. On September
28, 2000, the Nevada Commission granted MGM MIRAGE prior approval to make
public offerings for a period of ten months, subject to certain conditions
("Shelf Approval"). This offering is being made pursuant to the Shelf
Approval. Such Shelf Approval includes prior approvals of restrictions on the
transfer of the equity securities of MGM MIRAGE's Nevada-licensed corporate
Subsidiaries and agreements not to encumber such equity securities, in each
case in respect of the notes. On May 18, 2000, the Mississippi Gaming
Commission granted MGM MIRAGE a similar Shelf Approval for a period of two
years, which includes prior approval of these restrictions and agreements not

                                     S-49
<PAGE>

to encumber the equity securities of corporate Subsidiaries of MGM MIRAGE
licensed in Mississippi, whether securities are issued in a private placement
or a public offering. For more information, see "Regulation and Licensing--
Nevada Gaming Regulation" and "--Mississippi Government Regulation."

Compliance with Gaming Laws

   Each holder of a note, by accepting any note, agrees to be bound by the
requirements imposed on holders of debt securities of MGM MIRAGE by the gaming
authority of any jurisdiction of which MGM MIRAGE or any of its Subsidiaries
conducts or proposes to conduct gaming activities. For a description of the
regulatory requirements applicable to MGM MIRAGE, see "Regulation and
Licensing" herein.

Reports

   So long as any notes are outstanding, MGM MIRAGE will file with the trustee
under the indenture the supplementary and periodic information, documents and
reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act with respect to securities listed and registered on a national
securities exchange as such rules and regulations may require.

Book-Entry; Delivery and Form

   The notes sold within the United States will initially be issued in the
form of one or more global notes. The global notes will be deposited with, or
on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name
of DTC or its nominee, who will be the global notes holder. Except as set
forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part,
only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. Investors may hold their beneficial
interests in the global notes directly through DTC if they are participating
organizations or "participants" in such system or indirectly through
organizations that are participants in such system.

Depository Procedures

   DTC has advised MGM MIRAGE that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company that
was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the
clearance and settlement of transactions in such securities between
participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its
participants. The participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks
and trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.
Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies, which we refer to as "indirect
participants," that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants
may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the
participants or the indirect participants.

   MGM MIRAGE expects that pursuant to procedures established by DTC:

     (i) upon deposit of the global notes, DTC will credit the accounts of
  participants designated by Underwriters with portions of the principal
  amount of the global notes; and

     (ii) ownership of the notes evidenced by the global notes will be shown
  on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through,
  records maintained by DTC (with respect to the interests of the
  participants), the participants and the indirect participants.

   Prospective purchasers are advised that the laws of some states require
that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities
that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer notes evidenced by the
global notes will be limited to such extent.

   So long as the global notes holder is the registered owner of any notes,
the global notes holder will be considered the sole holder under the indenture
of any notes evidenced by the global notes. Beneficial owners of notes
evidenced by the global notes will not be considered the owners or holders
thereof under the indenture for

                                     S-50
<PAGE>

any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any directions,
instructions or approvals to the trustee thereunder. Neither MGM MIRAGE nor
the applicable trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records of DTC or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records of DTC relating to the notes.

   Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
any notes registered in the name of the global notes holder on the applicable
record date will be payable by the applicable trustee to or at the direction
of the global notes holder in its capacity as the registered holder under the
indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, MGM MIRAGE and the applicable
trustee may treat the persons in whose names notes, including the global
notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving such
payments. Consequently, neither MGM MIRAGE nor the applicable trustee has or
will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of such amounts to
beneficial owners of notes. MGM MIRAGE believes, however, that it is currently
the policy of DTC to immediately credit the accounts of the relevant
participants with such payments, in amounts proportionate to their respective
holdings of beneficial interests in the relevant security as shown on the
records of DTC. Payments by the participants and the indirect participants to
the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practice and will be the responsibility of the participants or the
indirect participants.

Certificated Securities

   Subject to certain conditions, any person having a beneficial interest in a
global note may, upon request to the trustee, exchange such beneficial
interest for notes in the form of certificated securities. Upon any such
issuance, the trustee is required to register such certificated securities in
the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such person or persons (or
the nominee of any thereof). In addition, if:

     (i) MGM MIRAGE notifies the trustee in writing that DTC is no longer
  willing or able to act as a depositary and MGM MIRAGE is unable to locate a
  qualified successor within 90 days; or

     (ii) MGM MIRAGE, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it
  elects to cause the issuance of notes in the form of certificated
  securities under the indenture, then, upon surrender by the global notes
  holder of its global notes, notes in such form will be issued to each
  person that the global notes holder and DTC identify as being the
  beneficial owner of the related notes.

   Neither MGM MIRAGE nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by the
global notes holder or DTC in identifying the beneficial owners of notes and
MGM MIRAGE and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in
relying on, instructions from the global notes holder or DTC for all purposes.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

   The indenture will require that payments in respect of the notes
represented by the global notes (including principal, premium, if any, and
interest) be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the global notes holder. With respect to certificated
securities, MGM MIRAGE will make all payments of principal, premium, if any,
and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by
mailing a check to each such holder's registered address.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

   The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar for the notes.
MGM MIRAGE may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to
the holders of the notes, and MGM MIRAGE or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

   A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the indenture.
The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and MGM

                                     S-51

MIRAGE may require a holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the indenture. MGM MIRAGE is not required to transfer or exchange
any note selected for redemption. Also, MGM MIRAGE is not required to transfer
or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be
redeemed.

   The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all
purposes.

Concerning the Trustee

   If the trustee becomes a creditor of MGM MIRAGE, the indenture limits its
right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain
property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The
trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

   The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee,
subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be required, in the
exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the
conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder shall have
offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any
loss, liability or expense.

   The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the
underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to
approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters
are obligated to purchase all the notes if they purchase any of the notes.

   The underwriters propose to offer some of the notes directly to the public
at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement and some of the notes to dealers at the public offering price less
a concession not to exceed   % of the principal amount of the notes. The
underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow a concession not to exceed   %
of the principal amount of the notes on sales to other dealers. After the
initial offering of the notes to the public, the representatives may change
the public offering price and concessions.

   The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that
we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed
as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes).

</TABLE>

   MGM MIRAGE has agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any of its debt securities substantially similar to the notes
during the period beginning on the date of this prospectus supplement and
continuing to and including the date the notes are delivered to the
underwriters without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
and Merrill Lynch & Co.

   In connection with the offering, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Merrill
Lynch & Co., on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell notes in the
open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering
transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate
sales of notes in excess of the principal amount of notes to be purchased by
the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open
market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate
short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases
of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the
market price of the notes while the offering is in progress.

                                     S-58
<PAGE>

   The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the
underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and/or Merrill Lynch & Co., in covering syndicate
short positions or making stabilizing purchases, repurchases notes originally
sold by that syndicate member.

   Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the
notes to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open
market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct
these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the
underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at
any time.

   We estimate that our total expenses for this offering will be $550,000.

   Certain of the underwriters have performed investment banking and advisory
services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees
and expenses. The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions
with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business. In
connection with the Mirage acquisition, certain of the underwriters were paid
fees which were creditable against certain investment banking assignments.
Accordingly, as part of this offering, we will receive a cash credit of
approximately $      million, which will be used to further reduce the term
loan.

   As described under "Use of Proceeds," we intend to use the net proceeds
from the offering of the notes to repay a portion of the outstanding
borrowings under our $461 million term loan. The lenders under our existing
term loan include affiliates of the following underwriters: Salomon Smith
Barney Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. It is expected that these lenders will in
the aggregate receive more than 10% of the net proceeds from the offering of
the notes in the form of repayment of borrowings outstanding under our
existing term loan. Accordingly, the offering of the notes is being made
pursuant to Rule 2710(c)(8) of the Conduct Rules of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. Lehman Brothers, Inc. is expected to act as a
"qualified independent underwriter," as defined pursuant to Rule 2720(b)(15)
of the Conduct Rule, and assume the responsibilities in connection therewith.

   We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to
payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those
liabilities.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   The validity of the notes offered hereby will be passed upon for us by

                             ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

   This prospectus is part of a Registration Statement that we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission using a "shelf" registration process. Under
this shelf process, we may from time to time over approximately the next two
years, sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in
one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $2,750,000,000. This
prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may
offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement
that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The
prospectus supplement also may add, update or change information contained in
this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus
supplement together with additional information described under the heading
"Where You Can Find More Information" on page 26 below.

   You should rely only on the information or representations incorporated by
reference or provided in this prospectus and in the accompanying prospectus
supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different
information. You may obtain copies of the Registration Statement, or any
document which we have filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or to
any other SEC filing, either from the SEC or from the Secretary of the company
as described under "Where You Can Find More Information" below. We are not
making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer is not
permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus or in
the accompanying prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than
the dates printed on the front of each such document.

                                  THE COMPANY

   We are a leading operator of first class hotel and casino properties with
an emphasis on the total gaming and entertainment experience. We own and
operate the MGM Grand Las Vegas and the New York-New York Hotel and Casino,
two of the most prominent hotel/casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. We believe the
MGM Grand Las Vegas is one of the largest hotel/casinos in the world with
5,034 rooms, 171,500 square feet of gaming space and one of the largest arenas
in Las Vegas. We have completed an approximate $570 million master plan to
expand and transform the MGM Grand Las Vegas into "The City of Entertainment."
Our New York-New York property has 2,024 hotel rooms and 84,000 square feet of
gaming space. In Primm, Nevada, we own and operate the three hotel/casinos
that travelers first encounter on the principal route from Southern California
to Las Vegas. On July 29, 1999, we opened the MGM Grand Detroit interim casino
in Detroit, Michigan. We also own and operate the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino
in Darwin, Australia and operate three casinos in South Africa. We have also
announced plans to develop a casino resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Recent Developments
   On December 13, 1999, our board of directors approved a two-for-one split
of our common stock and declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share, after
giving effect to the stock split. The additional shares were distributed on
February 25, 2000 to stockholders of record on February 10, 2000. The cash
dividend was paid on March 1, 2000 to stockholders of record on February 10,
2000. All references to share and per share data in this prospectus have been
adjusted retroactively to give effect to the stock split. At the same time,
our board of directors increased the number of authorized shares of our common
stock from 75 million shares to 300 million shares. We do not intend to pay
any additional cash dividends for the forseeable future.

   On March 6, 2000, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement
with Mirage Resorts, Incorporated, under which we will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Mirage for $21 per share in cash. The transaction will
have a total equity value of approximately $4.4 billion. In addition, Mirage
has outstanding debt of approximately $2.0 billion. The transaction is subject
to the approval of Mirage shareholders and to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions contained in the merger agreement, including the receipt of
all necessary regulatory and governmental approvals. The transaction will be
accounted for as a purchase and is anticipated to close in 2000. As a result
of the merger, Mirage will become our wholly owned subsidiary.

   Mirage is a leading owner, developer and operator of casino-based resorts.
It owns and operates Bellagio, Mirage and Treasure Island on the Las Vegas
Strip; Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas; Golden Nugget-Laughlin in
Laughlin, Nevada; and Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. Mirage also owns a
50% interest in a joint venture which owns and operates the Monte Carlo Resort
& Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Mirage also intends to expand into the
Atlantic City, New Jersey market, where it owns land. For more information
about us and Mirage, see "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 26
below.

   On April 11, 2000, we announced the execution of agreements with a group of
banks to provide $4.3 billion in credit facilities. The credit facilities
consist of a $2.0 billion five-year revolving facility, a $1.0 billion 364-day
revolving facility and a $1.3 billion one-year term loan. We expect to draw on
these facilities in connection with the pending acquisition of Mirage. This
completes the commercial bank financing for the acquisition.

   On April 18, 2000, we completed a private placement of 46.5 million shares
of our common stock for a total purchase price of $1.23 billion. Tracinda
Corporation, our largest stockholder, purchased 23 million shares in the
private placement. As a result of the private placement, the percentage
ownership of our outstanding shares by Tracinda and its sole stockholder
decreased from approximately 64% to 60%.

   On April 19, 2000, we announced our results from operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. Net revenues for the 2000 first quarter were
$442.9 million up from the prior year's quarter of $251.4 million. Operating
income increased 144% to $92.4 million in the three months ended March 31,
2000 from $37.9 million in the prior year's quarter. Net income before
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was
$44.3 million in the 2000 first quarter when compared with $18.5 million the
prior year's period. Earnings per diluted share before extraordinary item and
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $0.38 in 2000 compared
with $0.16 in the 1999 quarter. Net income for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was $44.3 million compared with $9.4 million in the 1999 period.
Earnings per diluted share was $0.38 in 2000 compared with $0.08 in the prior
year's quarter.

   As a result of the pending merger with Mirage, we announced on April 19,
2000, that our previously declared quarterly dividend policy was discontinued.
Also, management has determined to suspend our previously announced share
repurchase program. We intend to focus on utilizing all available free cash
flow to pay down debt under our existing and future debt obligations as well
as finance our ongoing operations.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

   Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement which accompanies
this prospectus, our net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities will
be used to provide a portion of the cash needed to complete the Mirage merger
and for general corporate purposes, which may include financing the
development and construction of new facilities, additions to working capital,
reductions of our indebtedness, financing of capital expenditures, potential
acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock. Funds not immediately
required for such purposes may be invested in short-term investment grade
securities.

                      RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

   The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
the periods indicated:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                                                    ----------------------------

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges(1).............. 1.65 2.78 10.11 2.94  2.73
</TABLE>
--------
(1)  For purposes of computing the foregoing ratios: (a) earnings consist of
     income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges,
     adjusted to exclude capitalized interest, and (b) fixed charges consist
     of interest, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt
     discount and issuance costs, our proportionate share of the interest cost
     of 50%-owned joint ventures (such as the limited liability company which
     owns New York-New York, of which we have owned 100% since March 1, 1999)
     and the estimated interest component of rental expense.

(2)  The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for 1999, giving effect
     to our acquisition of Mirage, is 1.08. These pro forma results do not
     reflect any cost savings of duplicative departments and redundant
     infrastructure, the benefit of operational efficiencies or revenue
     enhancement opportunities which we expect to achieve after the merger. We
     expect to realize annual pre-tax cost savings of approximately $95
     million (post-tax of approximately $61.8 million) related to duplicative
     departments and redundant infrastructure and operating efficiencies upon
     full integration of Mirage. These estimated benefits are based on
     projections and assumptions, not actual experience. As a result, our
     ability to realize these benefits could be adversely impacted by
     difficulties integrating Mirage into MGM Grand, the inability to achieve
     certain economies of scale or other risks associated with achieving these
     projected cost savings. We cannot assure you that these cost savings will
     be achieved.

                       SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA DATA

   The Mirage merger will be accounted for as a "purchase," which means that
the purchase price will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their estimated fair values at the time the companies are
combined. We are providing the following financial information to assist you
in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Mirage merger. We derived
this information from audited financial statements for 1999 for both MGM Grand
and Mirage. The information is only a summary of the unaudited pro forma
financial information presented on pages 8 to 11 and you should read it in
conjunction with our historical financial statements (and related notes)
contained in the annual reports and other information that we have filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   While this pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon
currently available information using assumptions which we believe are
appropriate, you should be aware that this pro forma information may not be
indicative of what actual results will be in the future or would have been for
the periods presented. You should read the notes to the unaudited pro forma
financial information beginning on page 10 for further discussion of the
assumptions we made to prepare this information.

(1)  Pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings of duplicative
     departments and redundant infrastructure, the benefit of operational
     efficiencies or revenue enhancement opportunities which we expect to
     achieve after the merger. We expect to realize annual pre-tax cost
     savings of approximately $95 million (post-tax of approximately $61.8
     million or $0.37 per diluted share) related to duplicative departments
     and redundant infrastructure and operating efficiencies upon full
     integration of Mirage. These estimated benefits are based on projections
     and assumptions, not actual experience. As a result, our ability to
     realize these benefits could be adversely impacted by difficulties
     integrating Mirage into MGM Grand, the inability to achieve certain
     economies of scale or other risks associated with achieving these
     projected cost savings. We cannot assure you that these cost savings will
     be achieved.

                          CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

   We have summarized below the per share information of MGM Grand and Mirage
on a historical and pro forma combined basis. Mirage stockholders will receive
$21 from MGM Grand in exchange for each share of Mirage common stock. The
information set forth below is only a summary, and you should read it in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes
contained in the annual reports and other information that MGM Grand and
Mirage have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1)  The table above combines MGM Grand's results of operations for the fiscal
     year ended December 31, 1999 with Mirage's results of operations for the
     same period. The pro forma combined income per diluted share is based on
     the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share
     equivalents. Common share equivalents consist of common stock issuable
     upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.

(2)  Historical book value per share for both MGM Grand and Mirage was
     computed by dividing total stockholders' equity at December 31, 1999 by
     the number of common shares outstanding, excluding shares held in
     treasury, as of those dates, respectively. MGM Grand pro forma book value
     per share was computed by dividing pro forma stockholders' equity (See
     "Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet" on page 9) by the pro forma number of
     shares of MGM Grand's common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1999
     (without including outstanding options). The pro forma number of shares
     of MGM Grand's common stock outstanding was calculated as the sum of MGM
     Grand's common stock outstanding and includes the April 2000 private
     equity placement of $1.23 billion.

(3)  Neither MGM Grand nor Mirage paid cash dividends during the periods
     presented. MGM Grand paid a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on March 1,
     2000 to shareholders of record on February 10, 2000.

(4)  Pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings of duplicative
     departments and redundant infrastructure, the benefit of operational
     efficiencies or revenue enhancement opportunities which we expect to
     achieve after the merger. We expect to realize annual pre-tax cost
     savings of approximately $95 million (post-tax of approximately $61.8
     million or $0.37 per diluted share) related to duplicative departments
     and redundant infrastructure and operating efficiencies upon full
     integration of Mirage. These estimated benefits are based on projections
     and assumptions, not actual experience. As a result, our ability to
     realize these benefits could be adversely impacted by difficulties
     integrating Mirage into MGM Grand, the inability to achieve certain
     economies of scale or other risks associated with achieving these
     projected cost savings. We cannot assure you that these cost savings will
     be achieved.

</TABLE>

   The final purchase price and its allocation will be based on appraisals,
discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates by management and is
expected to be completed within one year of the closing of the merger.

   The following are brief descriptions of the pro forma adjustments to the
statements of income to reflect MGM Grand's acquisition of Mirage.

     (a) Pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings of duplicative
departments and redundant infrastructure, the benefit of operational
efficiencies or revenue enhancement opportunities which we expect to achieve
after the merger. We expect to realize annual pre-tax cost savings of
approximately $95 million (post-tax of approximately $61.8 million or $0.37
per diluted share) related to duplicative departments and redundant
infrastructure and operating efficiencies upon full integration of Mirage.
These estimated benefits are based on projections and assumptions, not actual
experience. As a result, our ability to realize these benefits could be
adversely impacted by difficulties integrating Mirage into MGM Grand, the
inability to achieve certain economies of scale or other risks associated with
achieving these projected cost savings. We cannot assure you that these cost
savings will be achieved.

     (b) Represents the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
to which the purchase price is allocated. The amortization of goodwill is on a
straight-line basis over 40 years and the amortization of other intangibles
(which include customer lists and trademarks) is on a straight-line basis over
five years.

     (c) Represents the additional interest expense based upon anticipated
debt offerings totaling $5.1 billion minus the interest on the MGM Grand and
Mirage credit facilities (see Note l). Also includes the amortization expense
associated with $93.4 million of Mirage debt discount amortized over 6 years,
offset by additional capitalized interest on Mirage projects in development.

     (d) Represents the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at the 35%
statutory tax rate.

                                      10
<PAGE>

     (e) Represents the number of MGM Grand, Inc. shares issued based upon the
April 2000 private equity placement of $1.23 billion at $26.50 per share.

Note 3 - The following are brief descriptions of the pro forma adjustments to
the balance sheet to reflect the acquisition by MGM Grand of Mirage.

     (f) Represents the net increase to Mirage's carrying value of land,
buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment to adjust those assets to their
estimated fair market value.

     (g) Represents the increase in the fair value of Mirage's investment in
unconsolidated affiliate based upon the fair value of the assets and
liabilities of the unconsolidated affiliate.

     (h) Represents the estimated goodwill created by the transaction after
allocating the purchase price to the fair value of Mirage's assets and
liabilities.

     (i) Represents debt offering costs and the net increase in the fair value
of intangible assets such as customer lists and trademarks.

     (j) Represents an accrual for the estimated costs of the transaction.

     (k) Records the deferred tax effect of the pro forma balance sheet
adjustments, primarily related to land, buildings, furniture, fixtures and
equipment.

     (l) Represents the anticipated proceeds from various debt offerings of
approximately $5.1 billion of which $3.2 billion is for the purchase of the
Mirage shares, $1.8 billion is for the repayment of the MGM Grand and Mirage
bank facilities, and $100 million is for financing costs. This amount is
offset by the debt discount of $93.4 million on the Mirage bonds.

     (m) Represents the issuance of 46.5 million shares of MGM Grand common
stock for $26.50 per share as well as the elimination of Mirage's equity
balances.

                       DESCRIPTION OF OUR LONG TERM DEBT

Our Bank Credit Facility

   Since 1996, we have had available to us a credit facility from a syndicate
of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. On July 23, 1997, we amended our
syndicated bank credit facility to make it a $1.25 billion senior revolving
credit facility which may be increased to $1.5 billion under its existing
terms. The credit facility has subsequently been amended several times in less
significant ways. The following description is a summary of the material
provisions of the credit facility, but it does not restate the credit facility
agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the credit facility agreement,
which we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (see "Where
You Can Find More Information" on page 26 below).

   The credit facility is available:

  (1) to finance capital improvements at MGM Grand Las Vegas in accordance
      with our master plan with respect to that property, up to $850 million;

  (2) to fund development costs for MGM Grand Atlantic City or other casino,
      resort and hotel projects, or to invest in casino, resort and hotel
      companies or projects, up to $1.0 billion;

  (3) to fund our proposed project in Detroit, Michigan, up to $750 million;
      and

  (4) for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of our own common
      stock, investments in qualified investments and other capital
      expenditures, up to $750 million.

   Commencing on December 31, 2001, availability under the credit facility
will decline in quarterly increments of the greater of $62.5 million or 5% of
the commitment amount under the credit facility, with the balance due on
December 31, 2002. We have the right to request one-year extensions, subject
to the consent of the lenders, which would have the effect of deferring
scheduled reductions in availability.

   Interest on outstanding balances and commitment fees on unutilized
availabilities under the credit facility are determined by a formula based
either on our leverage ratio (which is the ratio of our total debt to
annualized cash flow) or the credit facility rating (which is the credit
rating then applicable to the credit facility), and in the case of interest
rates, on the basis of the Eurodollar or base rate existing at the time of
determination. As our leverage ratio declines, the interest rate and
commitment fees will also decline. We also pay certain underwriting and agency
fees in connection with the credit facility.

   The credit facility is unconditionally guaranteed by each of our
subsidiaries except New York-New York, The Primadonna Company, LLC, PRMA, LLC,
New PRMA Las Vegas, Inc., MGM Grand Detroit II, LLC, MGM Grand-Bally's
Monorail Limited Liability Company, MGM Grand Australia, Inc. and our non-U.S.
subsidiaries and their U.S. holding companies which have no other assets or
operations. Our subsidiaries which do not guarantee the credit facility are
called the "facility nonguarantors" below. The credit facility is secured by
pledges of substantially all of our assets, including the stock of MGM Grand
Hotel, Inc. and MGM Grand Atlantic City, Inc., but not our interest in any
facility nonguarantor, and the assets of our subsidiaries other than the
facility nonguarantors. The guaranty given by MGM Grand Detroit, LLC, and the
pledge of its assets, are limited to the amount borrowed under the credit
facility which is made available to MGM Grand Detroit, LLC. The credit
facility can become unsecured, at our option, if it receives investment grade
ratings as unsecured debt from both Moody's and Standard & Poor's.

   The credit facility contains certain customary events of default and
agreements, including limitations on additional debt, dividends, mergers and
asset sales and capital expenditures. It also restricts acquisitions and
similar transactions. As of March 23, 2000, approximately $680 million was
outstanding under the credit facility. Also, during May 1999, two letters of
credit were issued under the credit facility totaling approximately $50
million, which support municipal financing used to acquire land for a
permanent casino in Detroit.

   The credit facility has been amended and restated in its entirety in
connection with our acquisition of Mirage as a new $2 billion senior revolving
credit facility. A description of the amended credit facility appears below on
page 14.

                                      12
<PAGE>

Our Senior Secured Notes

   In addition to the credit facility, we also have outstanding two series of
senior secured notes with a total principal amount of $500 million. One of
these series of senior secured notes has a total principal amount of $300
million, pays interest semiannually at a rate of 6.95% and matures on February
1, 2005. The other series of senior secured notes has a total principal amount
of $200 million, pays interest semiannually at a rate of 6 7/8% and matures on
February 6, 2008. The material terms of the two series of senior secured notes
are otherwise identical. The following description of our senior secured notes
is a summary of the material provisions of the indentures under which the
senior secured notes were issued, which have been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (see "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 26
below).

   The senior secured notes are our direct obligations, guaranteed by each of
our subsidiaries other than the facility nonguarantors. The senior secured
notes and these guarantees are secured by pledges of the same assets that are
pledged to secure the credit facility. The guaranty of MGM Grand Detroit, LLC
and the pledge of its assets are limited in the same way its guaranty and
pledge are limited under the credit facility. Under agreements binding the
banks that are party to the credit facility and the holders of the senior
secured notes, the collateral securing the credit facility and the senior
secured notes, and any proceeds of such collateral, must be divided equally
and ratably among the credit facility and the senior secured notes. The senior
secured notes and the guarantees can become unsecured, at our option, if the
credit facility becomes unsecured and the unsecured facility and the senior
secured notes each receive investment grade ratings from both Moody's and
Standard & Poor's unless the release of collateral will cause either credit
rating to fall below the rating given to the senior secured notes at the time
they were issued. Each of New York-New York, The Primadonna Company, LLC,
PRMA, LLC and New PRMA Las Vegas, Inc. will guaranty our senior secured notes
(although these subsidiaries do not now guaranty such notes) immediately
following the merger. In addition, Mirage and each of its subsidiaries will
guaranty our senior secured notes immediately following the merger.

   The indentures contain certain events of default and agreements which are
customary with respect to investment grade debt securities, including
limitations on mergers, consolidations, and sale of substantially all assets
by us, and limitations on liens and sale and leaseback transactions by us or
our subsidiaries (other than the facility nonguarantors). The indentures also
contain limitations on certain asset sales which apply to us and certain of
our subsidiaries unless the senior secured notes become unsecured. The
indentures do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur.

   The senior secured notes are redeemable at our option at any time at a
redemption price specified in the indenture. In addition, unless the senior
secured notes become unsecured, the asset sale limitations in the indentures
require us to either apply the proceeds of such sales in certain ways
specified in the indentures or use the proceeds to redeem senior secured
notes. The applicable gaming laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate
also include provisions which require, under certain circumstances specified
under those laws, that senior secured notes be divested by holders who are
found to be inappropriate under those laws. Except as described in this
paragraph, the senior secured notes do not include redemption or sinking fund
features.

   We expect the senior secured notes will become unsecured and the collateral
securing them released when we receive investment grade ratings from both
Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Both agencies have indicated that such
investment grade ratings will be in effect on the date of the merger. However,
the indentures provide that if, following the release of the collateral
securing the senior secured notes, the notes fail to maintain investment grade
ratings from either Moody's or Standard & Poor's we must again secure the
notes with pledges of substantially all of our assets and those of the
guarantors.

MGM Grand Detroit II, LLC Interim Credit Facility

   On March 31, 1999, MGM Grand Detroit II, LLC ("Detroit II"), obtained an
interim $230 million senior revolving credit facility from a syndicate of
banks led by Bank of America, N.A., which may be increased to $250 million
under its existing terms. The Detroit interim credit facility is secured by
pledges of substantially all

                                      13
<PAGE>

assets of Detroit II. In addition, we have provided an unconditional guaranty
of the Detroit interim credit facility, but our guaranty is not secured. The
following is a summary of material provisions of the Detroit interim credit
facility, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(see "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 26 below), and is not
restated in its entirety herein.

   The Detroit interim credit facility is available:

  .  to refinance funds previously invested by us in the interim casino
     project in Detroit, Michigan;

  .  to finance the design, development and construction of the interim
     casino;

  .  to finance up to $50 million of initial development expenses associated
     with the proposed permanent hotel/casino project we are planning to
     construct in Detroit, Michigan (if we choose to have the permanent
     casino constructed by Detroit II); and

  .  to finance other capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments to
     the extent permitted by the Detroit interim credit facility.

   Interest on outstanding balances and commitment fees on unutilized
availabilities under the Detroit interim credit facility are determined by a
formula based on ratings given to our $1.25 billion credit facility (or, if
that credit facility has terminated, our senior unsecured debt) by Moody's and
Standard & Poor's, and in the case of interest rates, on the basis of the
Eurodollar or base rate existing at the time of determination.

   Availability under the Detroit interim credit facility will decline in
quarterly increments of the greater of $19.2 million or 8 1/3% of the
commitment amount of the Detroit interim credit facility, commencing on
March 31, 2001. The Detroit interim credit facility matures on the earliest of
June 30, 2004, 45 months following the opening of the interim casino and the
date the permanent casino is opened for gaming customers.

   The Detroit interim credit facility contains certain customary events of
default and agreements, including limitations with respect to additional debt,
dividends, mergers and asset sales and capital expenditures. It also restricts
acquisitions and similar transactions. As of March 23, 2000, approximately
$146 million was outstanding under the Detroit interim credit facility. We do
not expect the Detroit interim credit facility to be affected by our
acquisition of Mirage.

Our Amended Credit Facilities

   We have available to us three new credit facilities, each from a syndicate
of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. The three bank credit facilities will
allow us to borrow up to $2 billion, $1 billion and $1.3 billion,
respectively. The $2 billion credit facility and the $1 billion credit
facility are both senior revolving credit facilities. This means that we will
be allowed to reborrow amounts we have borrowed and subsequently repaid under
each of these facilities. The $2 billion credit facility is an amendment and
restatement of our existing $1.25 billion bank credit facility which will
mature five years after the first day it is available to us, and the
$1 billion credit facility will mature 364 days after the first day it is
available to us. The $1.3 billion credit facility is a senior term loan, which
means that amounts borrowed and repaid by us under this credit facility cannot
be reborrowed. We will be required to repay the $1.3 billion credit facility
one year from the first day it is available to us.

   The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the
three new bank credit facilities, but it does not restate the three credit
facility agreements in their entireties. We urge you to read the credit
facility agreements in the form executed, which we have filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

   Each credit facility is available:

  .    to refinance our existing debt, including our $1.25 billion syndicated
       bank credit facility and the existing $1.75 billion credit facility
       now available to Mirage;

                                      14
<PAGE>

  .    to finance the purchase price of our acquisition of Mirage;

  .    to finance capital improvements at our properties and at the Mirage
       properties following our acquisition of Mirage; and

  .    for working capital, acquisitions, investments in qualified
       investments and repurchases of our own common stock.

   In addition, we will have the right under the $2 billion credit facility to
obtain letters of credit not exceeding a specified aggregate amount, including
to support any commercial paper we may issue from time to time.

   Interest on outstanding balances and commitment fees on unutilized
availability under each of the facilities will be determined by formulas based
on our senior unsecured debt ratings without credit enhancement (which is the
credit rating applicable to the facilities, as established by the credit
rating agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's), and (in the case of interest
rates) on the basis of the Eurodollar or base rate existing at the time of
determination. We will also pay certain underwriting and agency fees in
connection with the facilities.

   The facilities will be unconditionally guaranteed by each of our
subsidiaries except the facility nonguarantors provided, that each of New
York-New York, The Primadonna Company, LLC, PRMA, LLC and New PRMA Las Vegas,
Inc. will guaranty the bank credit facilities (although they do not guaranty
our existing $1.25 billion bank credit facility). The facilities will also be
unconditionally guaranteed by Mirage and each of its subsidiaries following
our acquisition of Mirage. The facilities and the guarantees will be
unsecured. However, the credit facility agreements restrict our ability to
encumber our assets (including the guarantors' assets) until the facilities
have been repaid and our right to borrow under them has ended.

   The facilities contain events of default and agreements customary in credit
agreements of borrowers having investment grade credit ratings, including
limitations on mergers. The facilities also restrict our ability to sell any
of the Bellagio, Mirage or MGM Grand-Las Vegas hotel/casinos. In addition, the
$1.3 billion term loan credit facility will require us to use all of the
proceeds of any debt we incur or equity we issue after that credit facility
becomes available to pay down that credit facility (until it is paid in full).

   The credit facilities and our senior notes will be unsecured as long as
each has an investment grade rating from both Moody's and Standard & Poor's.
Both Moody's and Standard & Poor's have indicated that such investment grade
rating will be in effect on the date of the merger.

Existing Unsecured Senior Notes of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated

   Mirage has outstanding five series of senior unsecured notes. The Mirage
notes will remain outstanding as obligations of Mirage after we acquire
Mirage. Immediately following the merger, all of the Mirage subsidiaries and
all of our subsidiaries that are to guaranty our new bank credit facilities,
will also unconditionally guaranty all of the Mirage notes. The maturity
dates, annual interest rates and amounts outstanding under each series of
Mirage notes as of December 31, 1999 are as follows:

   The following description of the Mirage notes is a summary of the material
provisions of the indentures under which the Mirage notes were issued, which
have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (see "Where You
Can Find More Information" at page 26 below).

   The Mirage notes are the direct obligations of Mirage. The Mirage notes are
unsecured. However, the indentures under which the Mirage notes were issued
provide (with some exceptions) that if Mirage secures any of its debt to other
persons, then the Mirage notes must also be secured by the same collateral
equally and ratably with the secured debt.

   The Mirage notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of
Mirage at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

  .  100% of the principal amount, or

  .  The sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled interest and
     principal payments discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual
     basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined),

plus, in either case, accrued interest to the redemption date. Except as
described under this heading, the Mirage notes do not include redemption or
sinking fund features.

   The Mirage indentures contain certain events of default and agreements
which are customary with respect to investment grade debt securities,
including limitations on mergers, consolidations, sales of all or
substantially all of the assets of Mirage and sale and leaseback transactions
by Mirage or its subsidiaries. The indentures also contain limitations on
liens which apply to Mirage and its subsidiaries. The indentures do not limit
the amount of indebtedness Mirage may incur.

   The applicable gaming laws of the jurisdictions in which Mirage operates
also include provisions which require, under certain circumstances specified
under those laws, that the Mirage notes be divested by holders who are found
to be unsuitable under those laws.

                        DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

   The following provides a general description of the terms of the debt
securities which we may issue. The particular terms of any debt securities
offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the
general provisions set forth below may not apply will be described in the
prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.

   We filed a form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. The debt securities will be issued under one
or more indentures, each dated as of a date on or before the issuance of the
debt securities to which it relates and in the form filed, subject to any
amendments or supplements as we may adopt from time to time. Each indenture
will be entered into between us, as obligor, a trustee chosen by us and
qualified to act as a trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and any
of our subsidiaries which guarantee our obligations under the indenture. You
should read the indenture because it, and not this description, will control
your rights as a holder of debt securities. The terms of the indenture are
also governed by the Trust Indenture Act.

General

   The debt securities will be our direct obligations, which will be
unsecured, rank subordinate to our credit facilities, of which $680 million
was outstanding on March 23, 2000 and may rank subordinate to, equally with or
senior to our other indebtedness, including our senior notes, of which $500
million was outstanding on March 23, 2000. Our credit facilities will provide
that unsecured subordinated debt securities may be issued under an indenture
without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each
case as established from time to time in or pursuant to authority granted by a
resolution from our board of directors or as established in one or more
indentures supplemental to the indenture. All debt securities of one series do
not need to be issued at the same time. Additionally, unless otherwise
provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the holders of the
debt securities of such series, for issuances of additional debt securities of
such series.

Terms of the Debt Securities

   You should refer to the prospectus supplement for the following terms of
each series of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is
being delivered:

  .  the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations
     of the series;

  .  the issue price as a percentage of the principal amount at which the
     series will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof,
     the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of
     acceleration of the maturity or upon redemption thereof and the rate or
     rates at which original issue discount will accrue;

  .  the date or dates on which the series will mature;

  .  the rate or rates per annum, if any, at which the series will bear
     interest;

  .  the times from which any interest will accrue, be payable and the record
     dates pertaining thereto;

  .  the place or places where the principal and interest, if any, on the
     series will be payable;

  .  any redemption or other special terms;

  .  the events of default and covenants relating to the debt securities
     which are in addition to, modify or delete those described herein;

  .  whether the debt securities will be issued in certificated or book-entry
     form, and the denominations thereof;

  .  if applicable, the terms of any right to convert debt securities into
     shares of our common stock or other securities or property;

  .  provisions, if any, for the defeasance or discharge of certain of our
     obligations with respect to such debt securities, which provisions may
     be in addition to, in substitution for, or in modification of (or any
     combination of the foregoing), the provisions of the indenture;

                                      17
<PAGE>

  .  the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, premium, if
     any, or any interest on such debt securities will be determined, if such
     amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency
     or currencies other than that in which such debt securities are
     denominated or designated to be payable or by reference to a commodity,
     commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index;

  .  a discussion of any material and/or special United States federal income
     tax considerations applicable to such debt securities;

  .  any depositaries, trustees, interest rate calculation agents, exchange
     rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to the debt
     securities other than those originally appointed;

  .  whether such debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more
     global securities and whether such global securities are to be issuable
     in a temporary global form or permanent global form;

  .  the terms, if any, on which such debt securities will be subordinate to
     other debt;

  .  any listing or intended listing of the debt securities on a securities
     exchange;

  .  the provisions, if any, relating to any guarantees of the debt
     securities; and

  .  any other terms of the debt securities, which will not be inconsistent
     with the provisions of the indenture.

   Our debt securities may be sold at a discount below their principal amount.
Even if our debt securities are not issued at a discount below their principal
amount, these securities may, for United States federal income tax purposes,
be deemed to have been issued with original issue discount because of certain
interest payment or other characteristics. Special United States federal
income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with original
issue discount will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus
supplement. In addition, special United States federal tax considerations or
other restrictions or terms applicable to any debt securities offered
exclusively to foreigners or denominated in a currency other than United
States dollars will also be set forth in the prospectus supplement, if
applicable.

Information About the Trustee

   Our indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee, each with
respect to one or more series of debt securities. Any trustee under our
indenture may resign at any time or be removed with respect to one or more
series of debt securities, and a successor trustee may be appointed to act
with respect to such series. If two or more persons are acting as trustees
with respect to different series of debt securities, each trust shall be
separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee. Except as
indicated in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, any action to be
taken by the trustee may be taken only with respect to the one or more series
of debt securities for which it is trustee under the indenture.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

   Our indenture does not allow us to consolidate or merge with or into, or
sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets,
substantially in their entirety, as computed on a consolidated basis, to
another corporation, person or entity unless:

  .  either we are the surviving person, in the case of a merger or
     consolidation, or the successor or transferee is a corporation organized
     under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof or the
     District of Columbia and the successor or transferee corporation
     expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture, all of our obligations
     under the debt securities and the indenture; and

  .  no default or event of default exists immediately after such
     transaction.

Denominations

   Unless we specify in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities of any
series will be issuable only as debt securities in denominations of $1,000,
and any integral multiples thereof, and will be payable only in U.S. dollars.
The indenture also provides that debt securities of a series may be issuable
in global form. See "Global Securities" below.

                                      18
<PAGE>

Registration and Transfer

   If you surrender for transfer your registered debt securities at the office
or agency we maintain for such purpose, we will deliver, in the name you have
designated as transferee, one or more new debt securities of the same series
of like aggregate principal amount in such denominations as are authorized for
debt securities of such series and of a like maturity and with like terms and
conditions. You will not incur a service charge for any transfer or exchange
of debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer
or exchange.

   We will not be required to:

  .  register, transfer or exchange debt securities of any series during a
     period beginning with the opening of business 15 days before the day of
     the transmission of a notice of redemption of debt securities of such
     series selected for redemption, and ending at the close of business on
     the day of the transmission; or

  .  register, transfer or exchange any debt security so selected for
     redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
     debt security being redeemed in part.

Events of Default

   Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, events of
default means any of the following:

  .  default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that
     series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
     for a period of 30 days;

  .  default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any debt
     security of that series when due;

  .  if applicable, default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when
     and as due in respect of any debt security of that series;

  .  default in the performance, or breach, of any covenants or warranties in
     the indenture if the default continues uncured for a period of 60 days
     after written notice to us by the applicable trustee or to us and the
     applicable trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
     the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the
     indenture; and

  .  certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

   If an event of default for any series of debt securities, which are at that
time outstanding, occurs and continues, then the applicable trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us, and to the
applicable trustee if given by the holders, declare to be due and payable
immediately the principal, or, if the debt securities of that series are
discount securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified
in the terms of that series and premium, if any, of all debt securities of
that series.

   At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt
securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the applicable trustee, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities
of that series may, subject to our having paid or deposited with the trustee a
sum sufficient to pay overdue interest and principal which has become due
other than by acceleration and certain other conditions, rescind and annul
such acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of
accelerated principal and premium, if any, with respect to debt securities of
that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. For
information as to waiver of defaults see the discussion set forth below under
"Modification and Waiver."

   You should refer to our prospectus supplement with regard to any series of
debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions
relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount
securities upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default.

   The indenture provides that the trustee is not obligated to exercise any of
its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of
outstanding debt securities, unless the trustee receives indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain
rights of the trustee, the holders of a

                                      19
<PAGE>

majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that
series.

   No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise with respect to the indenture
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the
indenture, unless such holder shall have previously given to the applicable
trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt
securities of that series and the holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding debt securities of that series shall have made written
request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to such trustee to institute such
proceeding as trustee, and the trustee shall not have received from the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities
of that series direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed
to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, the holder of any debt
security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on such debt security on
or after the due dates expressed in such debt security and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment.

   We are required by the indenture, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the
indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee with respect to any series
of debt securities may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of
such series of any default or event of default (except a default in payment on
any debt securities of such series) with respect to debt securities of such
series if and so long as a committee of its trust officers, in good faith,
determines that withholding such notice is in the interest of the holders of
debt securities of such series.

Modification and Waiver

   We and the applicable trustee, at any time and from time to time, may
modify the indenture without prior notice to or consent of any holder of any
series of debt securities for any of the following purposes:

  .  to permit a successor corporation to assume our covenants and
     obligations under the indenture and in such series of debt securities in
     accordance with the terms of the indenture;

  .  to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of any series of
     debt securities (and if the covenants are to be for the benefit of less
     than all the series, we shall state that the covenants are expressly
     being included solely for the benefit of the applicable series);

  .  to surrender any of our rights or powers conferred in the indenture;

  .  to add any additional events of default (and if the events of default
     are to be applicable to less than all series, we shall state that the
     events of default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of
     the applicable series);

  .  to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture in
     a manner that will become effective only when there is no outstanding
     debt security which is entitled to the benefit of the provision and as
     to which the modification would apply;

  .  to secure a series of debt securities or to provide that our obligations
     under a series of debt securities or the indenture will be guaranteed
     and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of the
     security or guarantee;

  .  to supplement any of the provisions of the indenture to the extent
     needed to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of a series
     of debt securities in a manner that will not adversely affect the
     interests of the holders of debt securities of that series or any other
     series of debt securities issued under the indenture in any material
     respect;

  .  to establish the form or terms of debt securities as permitted by the
     indenture;

  .  to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee
     regarding one or more series of debt securities and to add to or change
     any of the provisions of the indenture as is necessary to provide for
     the administration of the trusts by more than one trustee;

                                      20
<PAGE>

  .  to comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission in connection with qualification of the indenture under the
     Trust Indenture Act;

  .  to cure any ambiguity;

  .  to correct or supplement any provision in the indenture which may be
     defective or inconsistent with any other provision in the indenture;

  .  to eliminate any conflict between the terms of the indenture and the
     debt securities and the Trust Indenture Act; or

  .  to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
     arising under the indenture which will not be inconsistent with any
     provision of the indenture as long as the new provisions do not
     adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the holders of
     any outstanding debt securities of any series created prior to the
     modification.

   We may also modify the indenture for any other purpose if we receive the
written consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by such
modification voting separately. However, we may not, without the consent of
the holder of each outstanding debt security of each series affected:

  .  change the stated maturity or reduce the principal amount or the rate of
     interest, or extend the time for payment of interest of any debt
     security or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt
     security, or change the stated maturity of, or reduce the amount of the
     principal of a discount security that would be due and payable upon a
     declaration of acceleration of the maturity of a discount security or
     impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on
     or after the due date thereof (including, in the case of redemption, on
     or after the redemption date), or alter any redemption provisions in a
     manner adverse to the holders of such series of debt securities;

  .  reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding debt
     securities of a series where the consent of the holder is required for
     any such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver which is provided
     for in the indenture;

  .  if applicable, adversely affect the right of a holder to convert any
     debt security;

  .  modify any of the waiver provisions, except to increase any required
     percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the indenture
     cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each
     outstanding debt security which would be affected; or

  .  modify any provision described in the prospectus supplement as requiring
     the consent of each affected holder of debt securities.

   A modification which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision
of the indenture with respect to one or more particular series of debt
securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of debt securities of
a series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not
to affect the rights under the indenture of the holders of debt securities of
any other series.

   The indenture provides that the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any
series, by notice to the relevant trustee, may on behalf of the holders of the
debt securities of such series waive any default and its consequences under
the indenture, except (1) a continuing default in the payment of interest on,
premium, if any, or the principal of, any such debt security held by a
nonconsenting holder or (2) a default in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder
of each outstanding debt security of each series affected.

Defeasance of Debt Securities or Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

   Defeasance and Discharge. The indenture provides that we may be discharged
from any and all obligations under any debt securities other than:

  .  certain obligations to pay additional amounts, if any, upon the
     occurrence of certain tax, assessment or governmental charge events
     regarding payments on debt securities;

                                      21
<PAGE>

  .  to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities;

  .  to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities; or

  .  to maintain paying agencies and to hold money for payment in trust.

   We may only defease and discharge all of our obligations under the debt
securities of any series if:

  .  we irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, the amount, as
     certified by an officers' certificate, of money and/or U.S. government
     obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in
     respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will be sufficient to
     pay and discharge each installment of principal and premium, if any and
     any interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of,
     the debt securities of such series on the dates such payments are due;
     and

  .  we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the
     United States Internal Revenue Service, in either case to the effect
     that holders of the debt securities of such series will not recognize
     income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a
     result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge.

   Defeasance of Certain Covenants. Upon compliance with certain conditions,
we may omit to comply with certain restrictive covenants contained in the
indenture or in the applicable prospectus supplement or any other restrictive
covenant relating to any series of debt securities provided for in a board
resolution or supplemental indenture which by its terms may be defeased
pursuant to the terms of such series of debt securities. Any omission to
comply with our obligations or covenants shall not constitute a default or
event of default with respect to any debt securities. In that event, you would
lose the protection of these covenants, but would gain the protection of
having money and/or U.S. government obligations set aside in trust to repay
the series of debt securities. We may only defease any covenants if, among
other requirements:

  .  we deposit with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations
     that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect to such
     obligations, in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an
     amount, as certified by an officers' certificate, sufficient to pay
     principal, premium, if any, and any interest on and any mandatory
     sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of such series
     on the dates such payments are due; and

  .  we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the
     United States Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the holders of
     the debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or
     loss, for United States federal income tax purposes, as a result of the
     covenant defeasance.

Limited Liability of Certain Persons

   The indenture provides that none of our past, present or future
stockholders, incorporators, employees, officers or directors, or of any
successor corporation or any of our affiliates shall have any personal
liability in respect of our obligations under the indenture or the debt
securities by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder,
incorporator, employee, officer or director.

Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws

   The indenture provides that each holder and beneficial owner, by accepting
any of the debt securities subject thereto, shall be deemed to have agreed
that if the gaming authority of any jurisdiction of which we or any of our
subsidiaries conducts or proposes to conduct gaming, requires that a person
who is a holder or the beneficial owner of the debt securities be licensed,
qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, such holder or
beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification
or a finding of suitability within the required time period. If such person
fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable, we
shall have the right, at our option:

  .  to require such person to dispose of its debt securities or beneficial
     interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of our election or
     such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such gaming
     authority; or

                                      22
<PAGE>

  .  to redeem such debt securities (possibly within less than 30 days
     following the notice of redemption if so required or prescribed by the
     applicable gaming authority) at a redemption price equal to

    (1) the lesser of:

      (a) such person's cost; and

      (b) 100% of the principal amount thereof,

       plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the
       redemption date or the date of the finding of unsuitability or
       failure to comply; or

    (2) such other amount as may be required by applicable law or by order
        of any applicable gaming authority.

   We shall notify the trustee in writing of any such redemption as soon as
practicable. We shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such
holder may incur in connection with its application for a license,
qualification or a finding of suitability.

Conversion Rights

   The terms and conditions, if any, upon which the debt securities are
convertible into common stock or other securities or property will be set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Such terms will include the
conversion price (or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion period,
provisions as to whether conversion will be at our option or at the option of
the holders, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and
provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of such debt
securities.

Guarantee

   The indenture provides that one or more of our subsidiaries may be a
guarantor and may "guarantee" the performance and punctual payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of our
obligations under the debt securities of any series and the indenture. The
liability of the guarantors will be independent of and not in consideration of
or contingent upon our liability or any other party obligated under the debt
securities or the indenture. A separate action or actions may be brought or
prosecuted against us or any other party obligated under the debt securities
or the indenture whether or not we or any other party obligated under the debt
securities or the indenture are joined in any such action or actions. However,
any guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount
that can be guaranteed by the guarantor without rendering the guarantee, as it
relates to such guarantor, voidable under Section 548 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provision of comparable state law. This
guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and will remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all of the guaranteed obligations.

Payment and Paying Agents

   We covenant and agree, for the benefit of each series of debt securities,
that we will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
any interest on the debt securities in accordance with the terms of the debt
securities and the indenture. We will maintain an office or agency where debt
securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
debt securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon us in respect of the debt
securities of that series and the indenture may be served.

Global Securities

   The debt securities of any series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on
behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement
relating to such series. Global securities will be in registered form and may
be issued in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the
depositary arrangement regarding a series of debt securities will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such series.

                          DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

   Our authorized capital stock consists of 300 million shares of common
stock. As of March 9, 2000, there were 111,832,062 shares of common stock
outstanding. Holders of the common stock are entitled to dividends when and as
declared by our board of directors. Holders have one vote per share and the
right to the net assets in liquidation after payment of any amounts due to
creditors. Holders are not liable for further calls or assessments by us.
There are no sinking fund or redemption provisions relating to the common
stock. The common stock has noncumulative voting rights, which means that the
holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can
elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so.

   Our certificate of incorporation provides that if and when we shall become,
and so long as we shall remain, a publicly traded holding company as defined
in the New Jersey Casino Control Act, all of our securities shall be held
subject to the condition that if a holder thereof is disqualified by the New
Jersey Casino Control Commission, such disqualified holder shall dispose of
his interest in the securities, including common stock within 120 days, or
such other time period required by the New Jersey Commission, following our
receipt of notice of such disqualified holder. Promptly after the notice date,
we are required to deliver a copy of such written notice to the disqualified
holder by personal delivery, mail or any other reasonable means.

   Our certificate of incorporation also provides that so long as we hold,
directly or indirectly, a license or franchise from a governmental agency to
conduct our business, which license or franchise is conditioned upon some or
all of the holders of the common stock possessing prescribed qualifications,
any and all shares of the common stock shall be subject to redemption by us,
at our sole option and in our sole discretion, to the extent necessary to
prevent the loss of such license or franchise or to reinstate it. Any shares
of the common stock redeemable pursuant to such provision may be called for
redemption immediately for cash, property or rights, including our securities
or securities of another corporation, on not less than five days notice to the
disqualified holder at a redemption price equal to the average closing price
of such stock on a national securities exchange for the 45 trading days
immediately preceding the date of the redemption notice; or if the stock is
not so traded, then the average of the high and low closing bid price of the
stock as quoted by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation system for such 45 trading day period; or if such stock is not so
quoted, the redemption price shall be determined in good faith by the board of
directors.

   The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is ChaseMellon
Shareholder Services, LLC, 400 S. Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.

Subscription Rights

   The following description sets forth the general terms and provisions of
any subscription rights which may be issued and to which any prospectus
supplement may relate. The particular terms of the subscription rights and
extent, if any, to which such general provisions may not apply will be
described in the prospectus supplement relating to such subscription rights.

   The subscription rights will be issued in connection with one or more
rights offerings. The subscription rights will be issued without charge to our
stockholders and will be transferable. The number of rights to be issued for
each outstanding share of our common stock as well as the subscription price
will be determined at the time of the rights offering, if any, and described
in the related prospectus supplement. We anticipate that the subscription
rights will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the exchange where our
common stock is traded.

   We anticipate there will be two types of subscription privileges associated
with the subscription rights. Under the basic subscription privilege, a rights
holder would be entitled to purchase one share of common stock for each right
held. Under the oversubscription privilege, any rights holder who exercises
the basic subscription privilege for all rights held would be entitled to
subscribe for additional shares of common stock at the time the basic
subscription privilege is exercised. Shares will be available for the
oversubscription privilege to the extent that other rights holders do not
exercise their basic subscription privilege in full and will be subject to
proration if necessary. In each case, the rights holder must specify the
number of shares to be purchased and submit the subscription price to the
subscription agent.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

   We may sell the offered securities as follows:

  .  directly to one or more purchasers;

  .  through agents;

  .  to and through one or more dealers;

  .  to and through one or more underwriters;

  .  through a distribution of subscription rights to our stockholders; or

  .  through a combination of any such methods of sale.

   The distribution of the offered securities pursuant to any applicable
prospectus supplement may be effected from time to time in one or more
transactions either:

  .  at a fixed price or prices which may be changed;

  .  at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

  .  at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

  .  at negotiated prices.

   Offers to purchase the offered securities may be solicited directly by us.
Offers to purchase may also be solicited by agents designated by us from time
to time. Any such agent, who may be deemed to be an "underwriter" as that term
is defined in the Securities Act, involved in the offer or sale of the offered
securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and
any commissions which shall be payable by us to such agent will be set forth,
in the applicable prospectus supplement.

   If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the offered securities, we will sell
the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer, who may be deemed to
be an "underwriter" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then
resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such
dealer at the time of resale.

   If an underwriter is, or underwriters are, utilized in the sale of the
offered securities, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such
underwriters at the time of such sale to them and the names of the
underwriters will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, which
will be used by the underwriters to make resales of the offered securities. In
connection with the sale of offered securities, such underwriters may be
deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting
discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of
debt securities and common stock for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters
may sell offered securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act
as agents. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters in
connection with the offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or
commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

   Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under
agreements that may be entered into with us, to indemnification by us against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or
to contribution with respect to payments which they may be required to make in
respect thereof. Underwriters and agents may also engage in transactions with,
or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

   If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize
underwriters, dealers or other persons to solicit offers by certain
institutions to purchase offered securities from us pursuant to contracts
providing for payment and delivery on a future date or dates set forth in the
applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with which such contracts may
be made may include, but are not limited to, commercial and savings

                                      25
<PAGE>

banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational
and charitable institutions and others. The obligations of any purchaser under
any such contract will not be subject to any conditions except that the
purchase of offered securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited
under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject, and if
the offered securities are also being sold to underwriters, we shall have sold
to such underwriters the offered securities not sold for delayed delivery. The
underwriters, dealers and such other persons will not have any responsibility
in respect to the validity or performance of such contracts. The prospectus
supplement relating to such contracts will set forth the price to be paid for
offered securities pursuant to such contracts, the commissions payable for
solicitation of such contracts and the date or dates in the future for
delivery of offered securities pursuant to such contracts.

   The anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in
the applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offer.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Certain legal matters in connection with the validity of offered securities
to which this prospectus relates will be passed upon for us by Christensen,
Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP. Terry N. Christensen, a
partner of Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP, is

beneficially owned an aggregate of 14,618 shares of our common stock as of
