     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware Corporation (“MGM MIRAGE”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2006, relating to the tender offer by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Tracinda”), as disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC by Tracinda on December 4, 2006, to purchase up to 15 million shares of MGM MIRAGE’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, at a purchase price of $55.00 per share, in cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 4, 2006 and the related Letter of Transmittal.
Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation.
     The second paragraph under the caption “Background of the Offer” is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     On December 5, 2006, the Board met to discuss the Offer and the Corporation’s response. The Board considered that: Tracinda is the majority stockholder of the Corporation; the Chief Executive Officer, President and sole stockholder of Tracinda, Kirk Kerkorian, is a director of the Corporation; and other directors are either officers of the Corporation or executives of Tracinda. Because such relationships could present actual or apparent conflicts of interest in the context of the Offer, the Board determined to form the Special Committee to evaluate the Offer, express a position regarding the Offer and file this Schedule on behalf of the Corporation. (For a more detailed discussion of the relationships between various directors of the Corporation and Tracinda or Mr. Kerkorian, see Item 3, above.)
     The following sentence is hereby added after the last sentence of the paragraph entitled “Market Trends,” under the caption “Reasons for the Special Committee’s Position.”
     The closing price for the Common Stock on December 28, 2006 was $57.40, which is 4.4% above the Offer Price.
     The first sentence of the last paragraph under the caption “Reasons for the Special Committee’s Position” is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     The description above, while not exhaustive, summarizes the material factors considered by the Special Committee.
Item 5. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated or Used.
The information under Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     Under the terms of an engagement letter with Morgan Stanley, dated December 13, 2006, the Special Committee agreed to have the Corporation pay Morgan Stanley a standard and customary fee, which was payable upon execution of such engagement letter, and to reimburse Morgan Stanley for its expenses incurred in performing its services. The Special Committee also agreed to have the Corporation indemnify Morgan Stanley and its affiliates, their respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each person, if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or

any of its affiliates from and against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws, related to, arising out of or in connection with the engagement.
