Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Caesars Entertainment is primarily a holding company and operates through four reportable segments: Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”), Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties, LLC (“CERP”), Caesars Growth Partners Casino Properties and Developments (“CGP LLC Casinos”), and Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (“CIE”).
We view each casino property and CIE as operating segments and aggregate all such casino properties and CIE into these four reportable segments based on management’s view of these properties, which aligns with their ownership and underlying credit structures. While the CEOC and CERP reportable segments each comprise all of the operations of these consolidated subsidiaries, our consolidated VIE, CGP LLC, is comprised of the CGP LLC Casinos and CIE reportable segments. We revised our presentation from one reportable segment to the four listed above effective October 1, 2014, in conjunction with CES commencing operations, as the way in which CEC management assesses results and allocates resources is aligned in accordance with these segments.
The results of each reportable segment presented below are consistent with the way CEC management assesses these results, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the impact of certain transactions between reportable segments within Caesars, as described below. Accordingly, the results of certain reportable segments presented in this filing differ from the financial statement information presented in their stand-alone filings.
