Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On August 19, 2009, Robert Lowinger (the “Plaintiff”) filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Nevada a purported class action against defendants MGM MIRAGE (the “Company”), J. Terrence Lanni, James J. Murren, Daniel J. D’Arrigo and Robert H. Baldwin alleging federal securities laws violations. The complaint includes two counts: (i) violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against all defendants, and (ii) violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against the individual defendants. In the complaint, the Plaintiff alleges that, between August 2, 2007 and March 5, 2009, the defendants disseminated or approved materially false and misleading statements that misled the investing public regarding the Company’s business, operations, management and intrinsic value of its common stock.

     The Company believes that the allegations set forth in the complaint are without merit. The Company will vigorously defend against these claims but there can be no assurance that the outcome of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
