ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On January 14, 2002, each of MGM MIRAGE's long-term debt and short-term
debt ratings were downgraded by Moody's Investors Service to "Ba1" and "Not
Prime," respectively. As a result of the downgrades, MGM MIRAGE was required to
re-collateralize approximately $4.3 billion of its senior debt pursuant to the
terms and conditions of its credit facilities and senior notes.

     In order to effectuate the re-collateralization, MGM MIRAGE entered into a
Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement"),
dated as of February 13, 2002, by and among it, Mirage Resorts Incorporated, a
Nevada corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE, and most
of its other subsidiaries (collectively, with Mirage Resorts Incorporated, the
"Restricted Subsidiaries"), U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral
agent, and the representatives of the senior debt holders.  Pursuant to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, MGM MIRAGE and the Restricted Subsidiaries
granted liens in, or otherwise pledged, substantially all of their assets in
favor of the collateral agent, the creditor representatives and the creditors.

     The terms and conditions of the re-collateralization are more fully
described in the Intercreditor Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10
and incorporated herein by this reference.
