LAS VEGAS, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) announced today that it has priced $845 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior secured notes due 2020 at par. The transaction is expected to close on March 16, 2010.  The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its senior credit facility and related fees and expenses.

The notes will be secured by a mortgage on MGM Grand Las Vegas and substantially all existing and future property of MGM Grand Hotel, LLC and, upon receipt of the necessary gaming approvals, a pledge of the limited liability company interests in MGM Grand Hotel, LLC.

The notes will be general senior obligations of the Company, guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, which also guarantee the Company's other senior indebtedness, and equal in right of payment with, or senior to, all existing or future indebtedness of the Company and each guarantor.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons absent registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  The notes will be offered only to "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than "U.S. persons" in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of any notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Company gives no assurance that the proposed offering can be completed on any terms.
