REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Members of
CityCenter Holdings, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CityCenter Holdings, LLC and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, members equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the period from November 2, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of CityCenter Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from November 2, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31,
2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization. CityCenter Holdings, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware limited liability
company, formed on November 2, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire, own, develop, and operate
the CityCenter development (CityCenter) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company is a joint venture
which is 50%-owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware corporation, and
50%-owned by Infinity World Development Corporation (Infinity World), which is wholly owned by
Dubai World, a Dubai United Emirates government decree entity (each, a member). The governing
document for the Company is the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated
April 29, 2009 (the LLC Agreement).
The initial capital contributions were made by the members on November 15, 2007. MGM MIRAGE
contributed the CityCenter assets which the members mutually valued at $5.4 billion, subject to
certain adjustments. Infinity World made a cash contribution of $2.96 billion. At the close of
the transaction, the Company made a cash distribution to MGM MIRAGE of $2.47 billion and retained
approximately $492 million to fund near-term construction costs. See Note 3 for further discussion
of the initial capital contributions.
The Board of Directors of the Company is composed of six representatives three selected by
each member and has exclusive power and authority for the overall management of the Company.
Compensation for the Board of Directors is borne by the members. The Company has no employees. The
Company has entered into several agreements with MGM MIRAGE to provide for the development and
day-to-day management of CityCenter and the Company. See Note 17 for further discussion of such
agreements.
Nature of Business. CityCenter is a mixed-use real estate development on the Las Vegas Strip
located between the Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts, both owned by MGM MIRAGE. CityCenter consists
of the following components:
| Aria, a 4,000-room casino resort featuring an over 1,800-seat showroom which is home to Viva Elvis, a new Cirque du Soleil production celebrating the legacy of Elvis Presley, approximately 300,000 square feet of conference and convention space, numerous world-class restaurants, nightclubs and bars, and pool and spa amenities; | ||
| The Mandarin tower featuring a 400-room non-gaming boutique hotel managed by luxury hotelier Mandarin Oriental, as well as over 200 luxury residential units; | ||
| The Vdara hotel tower with 1,495 hotel and condominium-hotel units; | ||
| The Harmon tower which will include a 400-room non-gaming lifestyle hotel to be managed by Harmon Hotel LLC, a division of The Light Group; | ||
| The Veer towers, two 334-unit towers consisting entirely of luxury residential condominium units; | ||
| The Crystals retail complex with approximately 425,000 square feet of retail shops, dining, and entertainment venues. |
Substantially all of the ongoing operations of CityCenter commenced in late 2009, except as
discussed below under Scope Changes. The closing of residential condominium units began in
January 2010. See Note 6 for further discussion of CityCenters residential components. See Note 16
for discussion of financing for CityCenter.
Scope Changes. On January 7, 2009, the Company announced scope changes related to The Harmon
Hotel & Spa component of the development, which include postponing the opening of The Harmon Hotel
& Spa until such time as the members mutually agree to proceed with its completion and canceling
the development of approximately 200 residential units originally planned for The Harmon Hotel &
Spa. Due to the cancellation of the residential units, the Company refunded $33.0 million of
customer deposits.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Managements use of estimates. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
principles require the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain concentrations of risk. The Companys sole operations are in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Therefore, the Company is subject to risks inherent within the Las Vegas market. To the extent that
new casinos enter into the market or hotel room capacity is expanded, competition will increase.
The Company may also be affected by economic conditions in the United States and globally affecting
the Las Vegas market or trends in visitation or spending in the Las Vegas market. Such factors may
also negatively impact the Companys ability to complete and close out its residential sales
program, including the pricing of units and the timing of the closing of condominium sales.
At December 31, 2009, there were approximately 9,300 employees at CityCenter, all of which are
employees of MGM MIRAGE. At that date, MGM MIRAGE had collective bargaining contracts with unions
covering approximately 5,100 of the Companys employees. See Note 17 for a discussion of management
agreements between the Company and MGM MIRAGE.
Fair value measurements. Fair value measurements impact the Companys accounting and
impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, interest rate cap agreement, and other intangibles
as discussed further in relevant sections below.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is
measured according to a hierarchy which includes Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an
active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3
inputs, which are unobservable inputs.
The Company accounts for its interest rate cap agreement at fair value with changes in fair
value recognized in earnings each period. The fair value of the interest rate cap is measured
using Level 2 inputs which consists of an estimated trading value based on similar derivative
instruments, a recovery rate assumption, and an adjustment for non-performance risk. See Note 12
for details.
As discussed in Note 6, the Company wrote down its real estate under development (REUD) to
fair value as of September 30, 2009. The fair value of REUD was measured using Level 3 inputs,
which consisted of a discounted cash flow analysis.
As discussed in Note 8, the Company wrote down certain of its intangible assets to fair value
based on its fourth quarter impairment analysis. The fair value of intangible assets is measured
using Level 3 inputs, which consisted of a discounted cash flow analysis.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include investments and interest bearing
instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Such investments
are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash at December 31, 2008 included borrowings under the Credit
Facility that was restricted to the funding of project costs (see Note 11). At December 31, 2008
such funding was not available until proceeds of any member equity commitments and
member-subordinated debt were exhausted in accordance with the funding order as determined per the
bank credit agreement.
Accounts receivable and credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The
Company issues markers to approved casino customers following background checks and investigations
of creditworthiness. At December 31, 2009, a substantial portion of the Companys receivables were
due from customers residing in foreign countries. Business or economic conditions or other
significant events in these countries could affect the collectability of such receivables.
6
Trade receivables, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing
and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to
be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An
estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Companys receivables to
their estimated realizable amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based
on specific review of customer accounts as well as historical collection experience of similar
casino resorts and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that as of
December 31, 2009, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance had
not already been recorded.
Inventories. Inventories consist of food and beverage, retail merchandise and operating
supplies, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined primarily by the
average cost method for food and beverage, supplies and retail inventory, or specific
identification methods for retail merchandise.
Project costs. The Company allocates project costs incurred to develop CityCenter using
various allocation methods, including:
| Specific identification primary method used for construction costs on specific elements of the project where the Company is billed directly by the contractor; also used for land directly associated with operating elements of the project; | ||
| Relative fair value primary method used for land and site improvements which generally benefit the entire project, as well as certain construction costs that benefit multiple project elements; | ||
| Area or other methods used when appropriate, such as for allocating the cost of parking garages (allocated on a per-space basis). |
Projects costs are stated at cost (which includes adjustments made upon the initial
contribution by MGM MIRAGE) unless determined to be impaired, in which case the carrying value is
reduced to estimated fair value. Project costs and the related construction payable may change
materially as construction contracts are closed out in 2010 and final invoices and payments are
resolved. The classification of such costs may also change upon completion of the final cost
segregation study. See Note 16 for further discussion of the unlimited completion and cost overrun
guarantee from MGM MIRAGE.
Real estate under development. REUD represents capitalized costs of wholly-owned real estate
projects to be sold, which consist entirely of condominium and condominium-hotel units under
development. Costs include land, direct and indirect construction and development costs, and
capitalized property taxes and interest. See Note 6 for further discussion of REUD.
Costs associated with residential sales are deferred, except for indirect selling costs and
general and administrative expense, which are expensed as incurred. For the period ended December
31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from inception to December 31, 2007, the Company expensed $14.3
million, $25.8 million and $3.8 million of such costs, respectively. Deferred costs will be
charged to cost of sales upon closing based on relative sales value to the project as a whole.
Property and equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Gains or losses on
dispositions of property and equipment are included in the determination of income or loss.
Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated over the
following estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis:
Buildings and improvements
|
20 to 40 years | |
Land improvements
|
10 to 20 years | |
Furniture and fixtures
|
3 to 20 years | |
Equipment
|
3 to 20 years |
Capitalized interest. The interest cost associated with development and construction projects is
capitalized and included in the cost of the project. Capitalization of interest ceases when the
project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief
period. Capitalized interest related to the majority of the Companys qualifying assets ceased in
December 2009. See Note 11 for further discussion.
7
Impairment of long-lived assets. We evaluate our property and equipment, real estate under
development, finite-lived intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever
indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we compare the estimated
future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If
the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the
undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment write-down is measured
based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted
cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining
construction costs.
The Company evaluated its REUD for impairment due to the September 2009 decision to discount
the prices of its residential inventory by 30%. See Note 6 for detailed information. The Company
also began offering seller financing during 2009 as a financing option for prospective buyers due
to the lack of available credit in the market for condominium units. Upon substantial completion,
our inventory of unsold condominium units will be evaluated for impairment using a held-for-sale
model, which requires that such units be carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to
sell. It is reasonably likely that the fair value less cost to sell of the residential inventory at
completion will be below the inventory carrying value, and that the Company will be required to
record an additional impairment charge at that time.
Intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets must be reviewed for impairment at
least annually and between annual test dates in certain circumstances. The Company performs its
annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal
year. See Note 8 for further discussion.
Debt issuance costs. The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs, which include legal and
other direct costs related to the issuance of debt. The capitalized costs are amortized as
interest over the contractual term of the debt.
Real estate sales revenue recognition and customer deposits. Revenue for residential sales
is deferred until closing occurs, which is when title, possession and other attributes of ownership
have been transferred to the buyer and the Company is not obligated to perform activities after the
sale. Prior to closing, customer deposits are treated as liabilities and classified as deferred
revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Customer deposits are classified as
current as of December 31, 2009 because closings related to such deposits are scheduled to occur in
2010.
Customer deposits represent funds received from prospective condominium buyers subject to
individual sales contracts. Customer deposits may be used for construction under a surety bond
which ensures that deposits can be repaid in the event of developer default. Under relevant laws
and regulations, upon buyer default the Company may retain a maximum buyers deposit of 15% of the
sales price unless damages in excess of 15% of the purchase price can be proven; the standard
deposit for a CityCenter residential unit is 30% of the sales price.
Revenue recognition and promotional allowances. Casino revenue is the aggregate net
difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by
customers before gaming play occurs (casino front money) and for chips in the customers
possession (outstanding chip liability). Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other
operating revenues are recognized as services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance
ticket sales are recorded as accrued liabilities until services are provided to the customer.
Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives, including discounts and points
earned in point-loyalty programs. The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other
services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as
promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily
included in casino expenses as follows:

Leases where the Company is a lesser. The majority of the Companys lease agreements relate
to Crystals. Minimum rental revenue, if applicable to the lease, is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the terms of the related leases. Revenue from contingent rent is recognized as earned.
The Company provides construction allowances to certain tenants. Construction allowances are
recorded as fixed assets if the Company has determined it should be the owner of such improvements
for accounting purposes.
Point-loyalty programs. The Companys point-loyalty program in operation at Aria is the MGM
MIRAGE Players Club. In Players Club, customers earn points based on their slots play, which can
be redeemed for cash or free play at Aria and any of MGM MIRAGEs other participating resorts. MGM
MIRAGE records a liability based on the points earned times the redemption value and the Company
records a corresponding reduction in casino revenue at the corresponding resort. The expiration of
unused points results in a reduction of the liability. The Companys portion of the liability at
any point in time is included in Due to MGM MIRAGE See Note 17. Customers overall level of
table games and slots play is also tracked and used by management in awarding discretionary
complimentaries free rooms, food and beverage and other services for which no accrual is
recorded.
Preopening and start-up expenses. Costs incurred for one-time activities during the start-up
phases of operations are accounted for as preopening and start-up costs. Preopening and start-up
costs, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs classified as preopening
and start-up expenses include non-residential payroll, outside services, advertising, and other
expenses not capitalized as project costs.
Advertising. The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising takes
place. Advertising expense is included in general and administrative expenses when related to
residential selling expenses, in preopening and start-up expenses when related to the preopening
and start-up period, and in general and administrative expense when related to ongoing operations.
Total advertising expense was $10.3 million, $5.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from inception to December 31, 2007, respectively.
Property transactions, net. The Company classifies transactions related to long-lived assets
such as write-downs and impairments, demolition costs, and normal gains and losses on the sale
of fixed assets as Property transactions, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Income taxes. The Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
Therefore, federal income taxes are the responsibility of the members. As a result, no provision
for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards. The Company adopted various accounting standards during
2009, none of which had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In addition,
various accounting standards have been issued but are effective in future periods, none of which
the Company expects to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent events. Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 19, 2010, the
date these financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 3 INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
The value of the assets contributed by MGM MIRAGE was determined by reference to the
agreed-upon purchase price, which was initially $5.4 billion but was adjusted to $5.385 billion
based on a comparison of actual net project spending by MGM MIRAGE through November 15, 2007 to
estimated spending during the same period pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement.
The Company recorded a 50% step-up for the fair value of assets contributed by MGM MIRAGE.

The Company was required to review its REUD for impairment, mainly due to managements
September 2009 decision to discount the prices of its residential condominium inventory by 30%.
This decision and related market conditions led to managements conclusion that the carrying value
of the REUD was not recoverable based on estimates of undiscounted cash flows. As a result, the
Company was required to compare the fair value of its REUD to its carrying value and record an
impairment charge for the shortfall. Fair value of the REUD was determined using a discounted cash
flow analysis based on managements current expectations of future cash flows. The key inputs in
the discounted cash flow analysis included estimated sales prices of units currently under contract
and new unit sales, the absorption rate over the sell-out period, and the discount rate. This
analysis resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $348 million of the REUD during the
period ended December 31, 2009.
During 2009 management decided to operate Vdara primarily as a hotel; however, a number of
condominiumhotel units under contract are expected to close during 2010. The Company has
allocated Vdara project costs between construction in progress and REUD based on the area method,
and has reclassed costs accordingly in the accompanying balance sheet, the majority of which are
classified as property and equipment at December 31, 2009. Costs allocated to condominiumhotel
units that are not expected to close and hotel units still under construction were classified as
construction in progress at December 31, 2009. Costs associated with the condominiumhotel units
expected to close were classified as REUD at December 31, 2009. Construction costs allocated to
REUD will be allocated to individual units based on the relative fair value method.
The Mandarin tower includes both hotel and residential components. Therefore, the Company
allocates the land and construction costs to the residential and non-residential components based
on a combination of the specific identification method and relative fair value method. As a result
of the scope change at The Harmon tower, $13.9 million of land was reclassified from REUD to land
and $143.0 million of development and construction costs were reclassified from REUD to
construction in progress, within property and equipment during 2008. Additionally, $13.6 million of
capitalized cost were written off during 2008, the majority of which related to design and
pre-construction services specifically related to the Harmon residential units.

The majority of the Companys intangible assets are assets contributed by MGM MIRAGE upon
formation of the Company. Intellectual property represents trademarks, domain names, and other
intellectual property contributed by MGM MIRAGE including the CityCenter, Vdara, The Harmon, and
Crystals tradenames. In addition, the Company purchased the Aria trademark for $1.0 million. There
is no contractual or market-based limit to the use of these intangible assets and therefore they
have been classified as indefinite-lived.
The Vdara hotel operations intangible asset represented the right to negotiate with
condominium owners at Vdara to rent their units as part of the Vdara hotel operations as assets
contributed by MGM MIRAGE upon formation of the joint venture. Although the Company will manage the
hotel operations on behalf of the owners for units that the Company does sell, these operations are
not expected to be significant to the overall operations of Vdara. As discussed in Note 6 the
Company will operate Vdara primarily as a hotel and does not expect to sell a significant amount of
condominium-hotel units. Since the value of the Vdara hotel operations intangible asset is related
to the revenues derived from renting condominium-hotel units on behalf of unit owners as part of
the Vdara hotel operations, the Company believes the carrying value of the intangible asset is not
recoverable. As a result, an impairment charge of $37.1 million was recorded in Property
transactions, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
2009.
12
The aircraft time sharing agreement intangible relates to an agreement entered into between
MGM MIRAGE and the Company whereby MGM MIRAGE provides the Company the use of MGM MIRAGEs aircraft
in its operations. The Company is charged a rate that is based on Federal Aviation Administration
regulations, which provides for reimbursement for specific costs incurred by MGM MIRAGE without any
profit or mark-up, which is less than the Company believes that it would pay an unrelated third
party. Accordingly, the fair value of this agreement has been recognized as an intangible asset,
to be amortized over the estimated useful life of the related aircraft, which is 20 years.
Amortization of the intangible asset commenced upon CityCenters opening in 2009.
The Company performs an annual review of its indefinite-lived intangible assets for
impairment. The assets fair value is compared to its carrying value, and an impairment charge is
recorded for any short-fall. Fair value is determined using the relief-from-royalty method which
discounts cash flows that would be required to obtain the use of the related intangible asset. Key
inputs in the relief-from-royalty analysis include forecasted revenues related to the intangible
asset, market royalty rates, discount rates, and a terminal year growth rate (no terminal year
growth rate is assigned to residential sales revenues because these are one-time cash flows). This
analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $0.5 million related to the residential portion of the
Vdara and Harmon intellectual property that was recorded in Property transactions, net in the
consolidated statements of operations.

In October 2008, the Company entered into a $1.8 billion senior secured bank credit facility
(the Credit Facility) with a syndicate of lenders, and subsequently entered into Amendment No. 2
to the Credit Facility in April 2009 and Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Facility in December 2009.
The Credit Facility, as amended,
13
consists of a $100 million revolver with the remaining amount
being in the form of term loans. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets
of CityCenter, and the interest rate will initially be LIBOR plus 5.75% through June 30, 2010, and
the margin will increase by 1.00% on each of July 1, 2010, January 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011.
Interest of 2.00% is pay-in-kind through September 2010, then all interest is payable in cash.
The weighted-average interest rate including pay-in-kind interest at December 31, 2009, was 6%.
Interest expense consisted of the following:

At December 31, 2009, the Company had drawn the full $1.8 billion of available capacity under
the Credit Facility and $23.5 million of pay-in-kind interest was accrued. Borrowings from the
Credit Facility were held in restricted cash until utilized to fund construction. At December 31,
2008, the Company had drawn $1.0 billion against the Credit Facility, which was held in an escrow
account as restricted cash subject to the funding order described in the Credit Facility. See Note
2 for further discussion. The principal of the initial term loans will be ratably repaid in
quarterly payments of $10 million, plus 1% of the construction term loan component, beginning June
30, 2011, with the balance due at maturity on June 30, 2012. In addition, the first $244 million
of condominium sales proceeds will be used to fund project costs; thereafter, 30% of condominium
proceeds will be used to permanently reduce outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and
70% will be initially used to secure the members obligations; once certain performance tests are
met, the proceeds applicable to the members may be distributed to the members.
Each member made loans of $925 million to the Company to fund construction costs during 2008.
$425 million of each members loan funding plus accrued interest was converted to equity, with the
remaining $500 million payable to each member bearing interest at a rate of 3.42% compounding
semi-annually, and maturing in September 2016, subordinate to the Credit Facility. Due to the
below market interest rate, interest was imputed on the notes at a rate of LIBOR plus 10%. A
discount in the amount of $352.1 million was recorded on the notes with the offset to members
equity based on the present value of expected cash flows. The discount is being amortized as
interest over the life of the notes.
Maturities of the Companys long-term debt as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

approximately $2.5 billion, versus its carrying value of $2.6 billion. At December 31, 2008, the
estimated fair value of the Companys long-term debt was approximately $1.5 billion, versus its
carrying value of $1.7 billion. The estimated fair value of the Companys long-term debt was based
on estimated market prices on December 31. All of the Companys other financial assets and
liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including requiring the Company to
maintain certain financial ratios commencing June 30, 2011. During the first through third of such
fiscal quarters, the Company will be required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (debt to EBITDA,
as defined) of 5.50:1, and during the first through seventh of such fiscal quarters, the Company
will be required to maintain a minimum coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest charges, as defined) of
1.50:1.
The Credit Facility also contains covenants limiting the maximum aggregate amount of mechanics
liens filed against the Company. As of December 31, 2009, mechanics liens permitted under the
Credit Facility was limited to liens representing claims in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250
million. As of February 19, 2010, approximately $36 million in mechanic liens have been filed. The
Company can provide no assurance that additional mechanic liens will not be filed in the future.
NOTE 12 INTEREST RATE CAP
The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement in order to manage interest rate risk
as a requirement under its Credit Facility. If interest rates rise above a specified level, the
interest rate cap agreement modifies the Companys exposure to interest rate risk by converting a
portion of the Companys floating-rate debt to a fixed rate. Under the terms of the agreement,
LIBOR is capped at 3.5% and the notional amount of debt is $900 million. The interest rate cap
terminates in March 2012.
The interest rate cap is an economic hedge and is recorded at its fair value in the
consolidated balance sheets with gains or losses due to changes in fair value recorded in Other,
net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the interest
rate cap was $4.6 million at December 31, 2009, and is presented in Deposits and other assets,
net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases where the Company is a lessee. The Company is party to various leases for real estate
and equipment under operating lease arrangements. The Company records imputed rent expense for
offsite buildings. Because this is a non-cash expense, the future imputed rent for these offsite
buildings is excluded from the future minimum lease payments disclosed in the following paragraph.
At December 31, 2009, the Company is obligated under non-cancelable operating leases to make
future minimum lease payments totaling $1.1 million for the years ending December 31, 2010 through
2013.
Rent expense for operating leases was $10.7 million, $10.9 million and $1.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from inception to December 31, 2007,
respectively. The portion of rent expense relating to the imputed rent on offsite buildings was
$8.4 million, $8.3 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
period from inception to December 31, 2007, respectively.
Leases where the Company is a lessor. The Company enters into operating leases related to retail,
dining and entertainment space at Crystals. Through December 31, 2009, the Company had executed 43
leases. Tenants are primarily responsible for tenant improvements, though the Company provides
construction allowances to certain lessees. Leases include base rent, common area maintenance
charges and, in some cases, percentage rent.
Expected future minimum lease payments for leases in place as of December 31, 2009 are

Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that relate to construction
and development matters and operational matters incidental to its business. Management does not
believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements. The Company also maintains an Owner Controlled Insurance
Program (OCIP) to manage risk during the construction and development process. Under the OCIP,
all coverages are managed centrally and cover general liability, workers compensation, design
error, and other liability issues.

NOTE 16 MEMBER FINANCING AND DISTRIBUTION COMMITMENTS
In March 2009, Infinity World filed suit against MGM MIRAGE alleging a default under the
Limited Liability Company Agreement dated August 21, 2007 and other related matters. Subsequently,
in April 2009, the agreement was amended and the lawsuit was dismissed, and the Company entered
into an agreement with its lenders to amend the Credit Facility. Key terms of the LLC Agreement
include an amendment of the provisions for distributions to allow the first $494 million of
available distributions to be distributed on a priority basis to Infinity World, with the next $494
million of distributions made to MGM MIRAGE, and distributions shared equally thereafter, and a
provision for Infinity Worlds right to terminate the Operations Management Agreements if MGM
MIRAGEs ability to perform under those agreements is impacted by its financial condition. See
Note 11 for a discussion of the amendments to the Credit Facility. See Note 17 for details of the
Operations Management Agreement.
As of December 31, 2009, the required equity commitments from the members had been fully
funded, and the entire $1.8 billion available under the Credit Facility had been drawn. During
2008, each member entered into a partial completion guarantee to provide for additional contingent
funding of construction costs in the event such funding is necessary to complete the project. In
conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Facility in April 2009, the completion guarantees were
amended to a) relieve Dubai World of its completion guarantee as amounts were funded from its
letter of credit, and b) require an unlimited completion and cost overrun guarantee from MGM
MIRAGE, secured by its interests in the assets of Circus Circus Las Vegas. The completion
guarantee will cover cost overruns to the extent project costs exceed the funding provided by the
equity commitments and borrowings from the Credit Facility, as well as the first $244 million of
condominium sales proceeds which are allowed to be used to fund project costs. In January and
February 2010, MGM MIRAGE funded $168 million under the completion guarantee. Such amounts will be
repaid to MGM MIRAGE from proceeds from condominium sales up to $244 million.

performing the development services and the Company is paying MGM MIRAGE management fees as
stipulated in each of the agreements referenced below.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $94.9 million and

agreements to provide for the ongoing operations of CityCenter:

In addition to the fees referred to above, the Company is reimbursing MGM MIRAGE for all
direct costs, primarily employee compensation, associated with its management activities. Corporate
overhead or other allocations are not reimbursed to MGM MIRAGE under these operations management
agreements.
