Sales for the first of potentially six 40-story towers to be built on the resort property are anticipated to start next summer with groundbreaking tentatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2004.

The project not only introduces Turnberry's successful condominium-hotel concept to Las Vegas, but also brings together two of the most influential and successful developers on the Strip.  MGM Grand has welcomed millions of visitors since its opening in 1993, and Turnberry has revolutionized luxury high-rise living in Las Vegas with its $600 million Turnberry Place condominium community located at Paradise Road and Riviera Boulevard.

"We are pleased to be moving forward on our joint development with Turnberry, undoubtedly one of the country's finest real estate investment and development companies," said John Redmond, President and Chief Executive Officer of MGM Grand Resorts. "The land represents one of the premier locations for a condominium project in all of Las Vegas, offering convenient airport and monorail access and linkage to MGM Grand.  It will create an exciting opportunity for guests to own a piece of the Las Vegas experience."

Residents of the complex will be entitled to enjoy the towers' numerous amenities, including a private owners' lounge and fully-staffed lobby, swimming pool and 24-hour security, in addition to the MGM Grand's diverse facilities such as a 171,000 square-foot casino, five outdoor pools, the Grand Spa with 30 treatment rooms and fitness center, in-room dining, concierge and housekeeping service, a variety of signature and casual restaurants, shopping outlets, as well as world-class entertainment venues.

According to Turnberry President Bruce Weiner, each of the tower's 578 residences will feature breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding mountains and incorporate superior craftsmanship with richly detailed appointments to provide residents with unparalleled pride of ownership.  The elegantly designed suites will be fully furnished from the linens to the tableware and include a wide array of custom standard interior amenities such as crown moldings, raised panel wood doors, granite countertops, marble bathrooms, plush, wall-to-wall bedroom carpeting, televisions, fax machines, high-speed internet capability, a deluxe appliance package and private owner's closets for added storage space.

The 585-square-foot junior suite includes a spacious bedroom and sitting area, kitchenette, large master bath and private balcony.  The 925-square-foot, one-bedroom suite encompasses a full kitchen with dining area, living room, master bedroom, two bathrooms and a private balcony.   Buyers can also purchase a 1,510-square-foot, two-bedroom combination suite that sleeps up to seven and includes dual balconies.

"It is a wonderful opportunity for us to partner with one of the most renowned hotel companies in the world.  We plan to draw on our expertise in the Las Vegas and condo-hotel markets to build one of the most desirable places to live and vacation in the world," said Turnberry Principal Jeffrey Soffer, whose company is currently developing Fontainebleau II, a condominium-hotel at the legendary Miami Beach resort.

Founded in 1967 by Donald Soffer, Turnberry Associates is one of the country's leading full-service real estate development and property management firms.  The company has to its credit the development of more than $1.5 billion in commercial and residential property.  This includes approximately 20 million square feet of retail space, some 3,000 luxury apartments and condominium units, 1.5 million square feet of class-A office space and in excess of 1,640 hotel and resort rooms.
