MGM MIRAGE, Dubai World and CityCenter's Lenders Reach Agreement for
Completion of CityCenter

Project Receives Approval for Full Financing

Dubai World Dismisses Lawsuit Against MGM MIRAGE

LAS VEGAS and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and Dubai World through subsidiary Infinity World,
50/50 joint venture partners in the CityCenter project, today announced that
the companies have reached an agreement on a revised joint venture agreement
and also reached an agreement with CityCenter's lenders on a comprehensive
plan to fully fund the completion of CityCenter for its scheduled opening
later this year.

Under the plan, Dubai World and MGM MIRAGE will fund their remaining equity
contributions to CityCenter through letters of credit. In addition,
CityCenter's lenders will immediately fund the full $1.8 billion senior
secured credit facility. Additionally, Dubai World will dismiss its lawsuit
filed against MGM MIRAGE in Delaware Chancery Court on March 22, 2009, and
Dubai World and MGM MIRAGE will exchange mutual releases.

"We are pleased that MGM MIRAGE and Dubai World, with the strong support of
CityCenter's lenders, have agreed to a comprehensive plan for the financing
and completion of CityCenter," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM MIRAGE
and Chris O'Donnell, Dubai World's Director of the CityCenter joint venture.
"CityCenter is now fully funded and on track to open in December 2009," they
said.

"CityCenter will be unlike anything anyone has seen in Las Vegas or anywhere
else. We are confident in the potential of CityCenter to contribute
significantly to our cash flow," said Mr. Murren. "CityCenter is a powerful
engine for growth and employment in Las Vegas and Nevada. With all funding in
place, we will focus, along with our partner, on planning for an exciting
opening in December and continuing to book rooms and conventions. We
appreciate greatly the strong support of our lenders, who share our vision as
to the importance of this project to the Las Vegas community and the entire
state of Nevada."

Mr O'Donnell said, "This agreement provides a stable financial framework for
one of the most exciting destination resort development projects ever to be
constructed. MGM MIRAGE is the industry's premier luxury hotel, resort and
casino developer and operator. We believe CityCenter has a bright future and
will benefit both the partners and the local economy, and we look forward to
working with MGM management to realize that potential."

Key terms of the various agreements include:

-- MGM MIRAGE will be responsible for completion costs to the extent net
condominium proceeds are less than $243 million and for completion
costs
in excess of the current budget of $8.5 billion.
-- Dubai World has agreed to fully fund its original sponsor
contributions
to CityCenter, including $135 million in payments previously funded by
MGM MIRAGE on Dubai World's behalf. Dubai World is relieved of all
completion guarantees.
-- Until the completion of CityCenter, MGM MIRAGE's obligations with
respect to additional construction costs, if any, will be supported by
the assets of Circus Circus Las Vegas and certain adjacent land
through
a completion guarantee.
-- The CityCenter credit facility has been amended as part of the global
financing plan. Such amendments include:
-- The facility will mature on June 30, 2012.
-- The interest rate margin was increased by 2.00%, though such
amount
is "pay in kind" through September 2010, with additional
periodic margin increases through the term of the facility.
-- Condominium proceeds of up to $250 million may be used to pay for
construction costs; 30% of net condominium proceeds in excess of
$250 million will be applied to reduce outstanding borrowings
under
the credit facility, with the remaining 70% available as
distributable cash upon CityCenter satisfying certain performance
criteria.

-- Certain financial covenants were modified to provide CityCenter
with
greater flexibility during its first 18 months of operations.
