hetcs\Discussion Materials\2017-09 VICI Refi RFP\07. RAP\VICI RAP v126.pptx DISCLAIMERS Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation and that may be made in meetings are forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are based on the Company’s current plans, expectations and projections about future events and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate to strictly historical and current facts and by the use of the words such as "expects", "plans" "opportunities" and similar words and variations thereof. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, its results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in or by the forward‐looking statements and may be affected by a variety of risks and other factors including, among others: risks that the acquisition of the Margaritaville Resort Casino and Harrah’s Philadelphia may not be consummated on the terms or timeframe described herein, or at all; the ability of the parties to satisfy the conditions set forth in the definitive transaction documents for the acquisition of the Margaritaville Resort Casino and Harrah’s Philadelphia, including the ability to receive, or delays in obtaining, the regulatory and other approvals and/or consents required to consummate the transactions; the risk that the call right to reacquire the Octavius Property, in the event that the Harrah’s Philadelphia Purchase Agreement is terminated, may be exercised; the terms on which the Company finances the Margaritaville Resort Casino and Harrah’s Philadelphia transactions, including the source of funds used to finance such transactions; disruptions to the real property and operations of the Margaritaville Resort Casino and Harrah’s Philadelphia during the pendency of the closings; risks that the Company may not achieve the benefits contemplated by our pending and recently completed acquisitions of real estate assets (including any expected accretion or the amount of any future rent payments); risks that not all potential risks and liabilities have been identified in the due diligence for our pending and recently completed transactions; the Company's dependence on subsidiaries of Caesars Entertainment Corporation ("Caesars") as tenant of all of its properties and Caesars or its subsidiaries as guarantor of the lease payments and the consequences of any material adverse effect on their business could have on the Company; the Company's dependence on the gaming industry; the Company's ability to pursue its business and growth strategies may be limited by its substantial debt service requirements and by the requirement that the Company distribute 90% of its real estate investment trust ("REIT") taxable income in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT and that the Company distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income in order to avoid current entity level U.S. Federal income taxes; the impact of extensive regulation from gaming and other regulatory authorities; the ability of the Company's tenants to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in connection with the operation of the Company's properties; the possibility that our tenants may choose not to renew their lease agreements with the Company following the initial or subsequent terms of the leases; restrictions on the Company's ability to sell its properties subject to the lease agreements; the Company's substantial amount of indebtedness and ability to service and refinance such indebtedness; the Company's historical and pro forma financial information may not be reliable indicators of its future results of operations and financial condition; the Company's inability to achieve the expected benefits from operating as a company independent of Caesars; limits on the Company's operational and financial flexibility imposed by its debt agreements; the possibility the Company's separation from Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. ("CEOC") fails to qualify as a tax‐free spin‐off, which could subject the Company to significant tax liabilities. Additional important factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position are described from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2017, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‐Q and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward‐looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Caesars Information The Company makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information regarding Caesars included in this presentation. The historical audited and unaudited financial statements of Caesars, as the parent and guarantor of CEOC, the Company's significant lessee, have been filed with the SEC. Certain financial and other information for Caesars and CEOC included in this presentation have been derived from Caesars' public filings and other publicly available presentations and press releases. Market and Industry Data This presentation contains estimates and information concerning the Company's industry, including market position, rent growth and rent coverage of the Company's peers, that are based on industry publications, reports and peer company public filings. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to rely on or give undue weight to this information. This Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications, reports or filings. This industry in which the Company operates is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to variety of factors, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's public filings with the SEC. Non‐GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes reference to Funds From Operations (“FFO”), FFO per share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), AFFO per share, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income or as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). We believe FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share, and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our business.

Caesars Enterprise Wide Adjusted EBITDAR for the year ended December 31, 2015 is as disclosed in Caesars’s Form 8-K, filed on May 18, 2017 referencing the Analyst Day presentation from the same day. Corporate-Level Rent Coverage is calculated by dividing (a) Adj. EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC by (b) year one rent under the Master Leases. The $630.0 million in total rent is comprised of year one rent of $465 million under the Non-CPLV Lease plus $165 million under the CPLV Lease. 2. CEOC above represents the period prior to CEOC’s emergence from bankruptcy on October 6, 2017 and excludes the now-deconsolidated Ohio Properties. “Baltimore” above represents the now-deconsolidated Horseshoe Baltimore. 3. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. For the year ended December 31, 2015, $51.8 million of depreciation expense previously reported as corporate expense was reclassified to depreciation and amortization expense. 4. Amounts during 2016 primarily represent Caesars’ estimated costs in connection with CEOC’s restructuring. Amount during 2015 primarily represents Caesars’ gain recognized upon the deconsolidation of CEOC. 5. Amounts primarily represent pre-opening costs incurred in connection with property openings and expansion projects at existing properties and costs associated with the acquisition and development activities and reorganization activities. 6. Amounts represent stock-based compensation expense related to shares, stock options, and restricted stock units granted to the Caesars employees. 7. Amounts represent add-backs and deductions from EBITDA, permitted under certain indentures. Such add-backs and deductions include litigation awards and settlements, costs associated with the restructuring and related litigation, severance and relocation costs, sign-on and retention bonuses, permit remediation costs, and business optimization expenses. 28 8. In prior periods, as permitted under the indentures governing CEOC’s existing notes and the credit agreement governing CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities, CEOC presented adjustments to include 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA of Baluma Holdings. On May 18, 2017, Baluma Holdings sold its 55% share in Punta del Este Conrad in Uruguay to Enjoy S.A., giving Enjoy S.A. 100% ownership in the Punta del Este Conrad. Baluma Holdings received net proceeds from the transaction of approximately $180 million after distributions to certain minority investors. Because of the sale, CEOC’s Adjusted EBITDA excludes the Adjusted EBITDA of Baluma Holdings for all periods presented.

hetcs\Discussion Materials\2017-09 VICI Refi RFP\07. RAP\VICI RAP v126.pptx DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES FFO is a non‐GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. Consistent with the definition used by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we define FFO as net income (or loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property plus real estate depreciation. AFFO is a non‐GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental operating measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO direct financing lease adjustments, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, non‐cash interest expense, non‐real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges on non‐real estate assets, amortization of capitalized leasing costs and gains (or losses) on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA is a non‐GAAP financial measure, which we define as net income as adjusted for gains (or losses) from sales of property, real estate depreciation, direct financing lease adjustments, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, other non‐cash interest expense, non‐real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges on non‐real estate assets, amortization of capitalized leasing costs, gains (or losses) on debt extinguishment, interest expense, net and income tax expense. These non‐GAAP financial measures (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Caesars and CEOC In this presentation, we include Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars (which is the guarantor of the lease payment obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements) and CEOC (subsidiaries of which are tenants under the Formation Lease Agreements) and Adjusted EBITDAR of CEOC, all as reported by Caesars in its publicly available filings with the SEC. Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Caesars or CEOC Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC is defined as net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance at an operating property level, further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Caesars has indicated in its publicly available filings with the SEC that management of Caesars uses Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC to measure performance and allocate resources and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management and allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of the Caesars and CEOC. We, in turn, use Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC to evaluate the capacity of Caesars and CEOC to meet their respective obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements. Such information is not publicly available for the applicable tenant under the HLV Lease Agreement or its guarantor Property EBITDAR of Caesars and CEOC is defined as revenues less property operating expenses and is comprised of net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that Caesars does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance at an operating property level. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as EBITDAR further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items as exhibited in the following reconciliation, and is presented as a supplemental measure of Caesars’ performance. Caesars has indicated that its management believes that Adjusted EBITDAR provides its investors with additional information and allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of Caesars. We, in turn, use Property EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR of Caesars and CEOC to evaluate the ability of Caesars and CEOC to meet their respective obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements. 30
