MGM National Harbor Found Suitable for Gaming License in Maryland NEWS RELEASE MGM National Harbor found suitable for gaming license in Maryland 10/10/2013 NATIONAL HARBOR, MD, October 10, 2013 – MGM National Harbor, LLC, a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM), moved another step toward earning a license to operate a destination resort in Maryland today when the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission voted unanimously to accept a report by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, which concluded that MGM National Harbor, “its principal entities and principals have established by clear and convincing evidence their qualifications for operation license.” “We are very pleased with the results of the process in Maryland,” said MGM Resorts Chairman and CEO Jim Murren, who participated in today’s hearing in Baltimore. “We commend the Maryland Gaming and Lottery Control Agency on its proficiency throughout this process. Our company has undergone similar processes in a number of jurisdictions and we found Maryland’s process to be thorough, comprehensive, and conducted in a fair and professional manner.” MGM National Harbor is currently one of three bidders vying for a new license in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The MGM proposal would place a destination resort at the National Harbor development, which is south of Washington, D.C., on the banks of the Potomac River and adjacent to a major freeway interchange with access to the Washington Beltway. The next step in the licensing process comes the week of October 21, when bidders will present their proposals to the Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission on three separate days. MGM National Harbor will present 1 on Friday, October 25. Mr. Murren added, “We look forward to October 25, and the opportunity to share our proposal with the Commission, the people of Maryland, especially our prospective neighbors in Prince George’s County. We have the best site, the best proposal and the best company. The combination of our experience, our vision, and the unmatched National Harbor site will maximize the benefit for Maryland and Prince George’s County.” The Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission has indicated that it expects to make the license award by end of the year. * * * About MGM Resorts International MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is one of the world's leading global hospitality companies, operating a portfolio of destination resort brands including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage.

Guests will be drawn into the bold, forward-looking design and breathtaking spaces as they discover excitement at every turn: restaurants by some of the region’s most celebrated chefs, an intimate theater showcasing the hottest acts in entertainment, an immersive spa escape, luxurious rooms and suites and much more. MGM National Harbor will be the ultimate destination, whether for an evening of entertainment or an indulgent weekend getaway. Architecture Situated on a hill overlooking the Potomac River, MGM National Harbor serves as a landmark to the community and gateway into Maryland. The overarching vision of the resort draws inspiration from Washington D.C.’s monumental architecture while also incorporating the natural beauty of the surrounding area, including vistas of the Potomac River and annual cherry tree bloom. While respecting the District’s historic sense of place highlighted by classical structures, MGM National Harbor embodies a modern and bold design that complements the sense of timelessness created by the Nation’s Capital buildings. Designed by architecture visionaries HKS Hospitality Group, MGM National Harbor’s architectural unfolds as guests explore the space, from the series of grand steps leading up to the lobby to its glistening knife-like tower rising vertically toward the sky. In designing the resort, it was important to not only pay homage to surrounding architectural marvels, but also to include MGM Resort’s legacy by incorporating trademark elements from Las Vegas resorts such as Bellagio, ARIA and MGM Grand.

Since the very beginning of One Drop, we have strived to create programs that would be innovative and sustainable. When it comes to raising funds, we follow the same approach. Of course, none of this would happen if it wasn’t for the amazingly talented performers and volunteers of Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International, who tirelessly take on this project year after year with the same excitement and spirit as they did from the beginning. And I thank you, our guests, who continue to fly in from all over the world to support us, as well as the committed Las Vegas community, which has truly embraced Cirque du Soleil, One Drop and this global philanthropy event. I’m excited that you are joining me so we can continue to work together to share knowledge, efforts, and dreams as well as human, material and financial resources. We will continue to take on this challenge so we can get closer each day to our goal to provide access to safe water for each and every person on our planet.
