     This Amendment No. 16 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D
filed on August 20, 1991, as amended on June 8, 1992, October 16, 1992, February
22, 1994, March 11, 1994, November 20, 1995, January 24, 1997, September 25,
1997, August 3, 1998, August 21, 1998, September 1, 1998, June 11, 1999,
November 16, 1999, April 18, 2000, February 9, 2001 and May 21, 2001 (as so
amended, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), previously filed by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("Tracinda"), and Mr. Kirk Kerkorian, the sole shareholder of Tracinda.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 16
shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

1.   Item 4. "Purpose of Transaction," Item 5. "Interest in Securities of the
Issuer" and Item 6. "Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer" of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended
to add the following information:

     "In accordance with information previously included in the Schedule 13D and
     in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-37350) filed with
     the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 18, 2000,
     as amended and declared effective by the Commission (the "Registration
     Statement"), Tracinda sold 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock on November 2,
     2001. These shares were sold through a broker pursuant to a prospectus
     included in the Registration Statement. Such shares were sold at a price of
     $21.00 per share, for an aggregate sale price of $210,000,000.00, before
     commissions. Currently, Tracinda directly owns and Mr. Kerkorian
     beneficially owns an aggregate of 81,221,432 shares of the Common Stock,
     approximately 51.6% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, based on the
     number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2001 as reported in the
     Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November
     2, 2001. Tracinda and Mr. Kerkorian have no present intention to sell
     additional shares of Common Stock at this time and intend to maintain their
     holdings in the Common Stock above 50% of the outstanding shares. In the
     future, they may, depending on market conditions, from time to time
     purchase or sell shares of Common Stock."

2.   Except as specifically provided herein, this amendment does not modify any
of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
