The coming months bring a number of exciting events for MGM MIRAGE. With the opening of the luxurious MGM Grand Detroit and MGM Grand Macau resorts, we are thrilled to introduce our world-renowned style of entertainment and hospitality to new markets and new guests. As you travel the world, we hope you will stop in to see us.

We are thrilled to have a beautiful couple, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, grace our cover. The duo recently starred in the movie "El Cantante," and can be seen during their first ever concert tour together October 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

In keeping with our desire to provide dynamic new experiences for you to enjoy when you visit, we have added a variety of attractions at our Las Vegas resorts. Within the pages of this issue of M, we'll share with you details of the transformations underway at Luxor and Monte Carlo.

We also will introduce you to the incredible Grucci family – the team behind many of the most fabulous fireworks displays seen around the world. We'll next see their magic at work on New Year's Eve high above the Las Vegas Strip.

One of our most dynamic chefs, Michael Mina, shares tips on entertaining at home during the holidays, or anytime at all. Michael recently added two bold dining concepts to his culinary repertoire – BOURBON STEAK and SALTWATER – at our new MGM Grand Detroit resort. The new restaurants build upon Michael's five award-winning offerings at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio and Borgata.

We are excited to share all of this, and so much more, within these pages. We're delighted you have chosen to visit an MGM MIRAGE resort. On behalf of our entire family, I wish you and yours a very memorable stay.

Sincerely,

J. Terrence Lanni
Chairman and CEO
MGM MIRAGE
