     being executed by MGM or its controlling shareholder, as the case may be,
     in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (1) have been
     duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such party, (2) are legal,
     valid, and binding obligations of such party enforceable against it in
     accordance with their respective terms (except to the extent that such
     enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium
     and other principles relating to or limiting the rights of contracting
     parties generally), (3) are sufficient to convey title (if they purport to

               (v) The "Advent Option Agreement" (as defined in the Operating
     Agreement) is in full force and effect and has not been amended or
     supplemented, and, to PRMA-LV's best knowledge, there has been no breach or
     default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time,
     or both, would constitute a default by any party thereunder.

paid by MGM and shall be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section
                                                                      -------
11.  Subject to Section 9(c), the Company shall furnish to MGM for payment any
--              ------------                                                  
bills for such period received after the Closing Date, and the Company shall
have no further obligation with respect thereto.

          (c)  Subject to Section 9(c), MGM shall be responsible for all
                          ------------                                  
outstanding debt service payments, payroll expenses and insurance premiums and
costs, and there will be no proration for such items.

          (d)  Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of
this nature shall be ratably prorated.

          (e)  For purposes of calculating prorations, MGM shall be deemed to be

income therefrom and responsible for the taxes and expenses thereof, for the
entire Closing Date.  All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the
actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing
Date.  Except as set forth in this Section 7, and subject to Section 9(c), all
                                   ---------                 ------------     
items of income and expense with respect to the MGM Contribution Property for
the period on and prior to the Closing Date will be for the account of MGM, and

accounting. Subject to Section 9(c), bills
                       ------------

received after the Closing Date which relate to expenses incurred, services
performed or other amounts allocable to the period on or prior to the Closing
Date shall be paid by MGM. In the event any allocation or computation made under
or in connection with this Section 7 shall prove to be incorrect or inconsistent
                           ---------
with the intent of this Section 7 for any reason, then any party shall be
                        ---------
entitled to a prompt adjustment to correct the same by providing written demand
on the one from whom it is entitled to such adjustment within one (1) year after
the Closing Date. No such adjustments may be requested or demanded after such
one year period has expired.

          8.   CLOSING
               -------

          As used herein, the term "Close of Escrow" shall refer to the
consummation of the contribution and conveyances of the MGM Contribution
Property and the PRMA-LV Contribution Property contemplated herein, and the term
"Closing Date" shall mean the date that the Deed is recorded in the Official
Records of Clark County, Nevada.  The Close of Escrow shall occur through an
escrow (the "Escrow") with Title Company, as escrow agent in accordance with
Section 12 and the general provisions of the usual form of escrow agreement used
----------                                                                      
by Title Company in similar transactions to the extent consistent herewith.  The
parties shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Close of Escrow to occur
as soon as practicable after the satisfaction of all conditions precedent
thereto, on a business day mutually acceptable to MGM and PRMA-LV.  In addition
to the other termination rights and remedies afforded the parties under this
Agreement, if the Close of Escrow does not occur on or before the date that is
five (5) business days after the date hereof (the "Outside Date") by the reason
of the failure of any condition precedent hereunder, then at any time thereafter
either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice of such termination to the other parties, in which event this Agreement
shall become null and void with no further obligation on the part of either
party (other than for or with respect to any then-existing breach of this
Agreement) except that (i) any money or documents in Escrow shall be returned to
the party depositing the same, (ii) PRMA-LV and MGM each shall be responsible
for one-half of any title or escrow cancellation fee, and (iii) each provision
that this Agreement expressly provides shall survive the termination hereof
shall survive and remain in full force and effect, subject to any applicable
period set forth in this Agreement for its survival.

          9.   TRANSACTION COSTS
               -----------------

          (a)  MGM Costs.  MGM shall pay and be solely responsible for MGM's
attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with the preparation and
negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b)  PRMA-LV Costs.  PRMA-LV shall pay and be solely responsible for
PRMA-LV's attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with the preparation

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
and negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

          (c)  Shared Costs.  Upon the Close of Escrow the Company shall (i) pay
all "Shared Costs," as defined in the Due Diligence and Cost-Sharing Agreement,
dated October 13, 1994, by and among MGM, PRMA-LV and PRMA (the "Due Diligence
and Cost-Sharing Agreement"), that are due and payable, and shall assume and be
solely responsible for all other Shared Costs, (ii) reimburse each of PRMA-LV
and MGM for all Shared Costs that were borne by it prior to the Close of Escrow,
and (iii) pay any other closing costs not expressly provided for above or in the
Due Diligence and Cost-Sharing Agreement, all in accordance with a settlement
statement approved by PRMA-LV and MGM and delivered to Title Company.

          (d)  Survival of Termination.  The provisions of this Section 9 shall
                                                                ---------      
survive any termination of this Agreement.

          10.  DEFAULT
               -------

          If either MGM or PRMA-LV breaches this Agreement, the nonbreaching
party shall be entitled to terminate the Escrow, by delivering written notice to
Title Company and the other party, and/or pursue all rights and remedies
available to it at law or in equity.  No termination of the Escrow by MGM or
PRMA-LV following the breach by the other party shall be deemed to waive such
breach or any remedy otherwise available to the nonbreaching party.  Upon any
such termination, Title Company shall return all funds and documents to the
party that deposited the same, and the breaching party shall bear all of Title
Company's escrow cancellation fees and costs.

          11.  INDEMNIFICATION
               ---------------

          (a)  Subject to Section 9(c), MGM shall hold harmless, indemnify and

attorneys' fees and costs) which arise from any breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of PRMA-LV under this Agreement, or under any other
document delivered by PRMA-LV pursuant to Section 12(c).
                                          -------------
