Property Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Property EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA are not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurements but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, as a measure of compliance with certain debt covenants. Reconciliations of Property EBITDA to income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations are attached to this release.

On January 28, 2008, Harrah’s Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP in a transaction valued at $30.7 billion, including assumption of $12.4 billion of debt and approximately $1.0 billion of acquisition costs. Harrah’s stockholders received $90 cash for each share of common stock, or a total of $17.3 billion.

The company’s second-quarter income from operations was $323.1 million, compared with $477.9 million in the 2007 second quarter. The net loss for the 2008 second quarter was $97.6 million, compared with net income of $237.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

First-half revenues declined 2.9 percent to $5.2 billion from $5.4 billion in the first six months of 2007. Income from operations totaled $724.1 million in the 2008 first half, compared with $929.1 million in the prior-year period. The net loss for the first six months of 2008 was $285.4 million, compared with net income of $422.8 million in the first half of 2007.

“The first half of the year presented us with the most turbulent economic conditions the casino-entertainment industry has faced in years,” said Gary Loveman, Harrah’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Customer visitation fell in the second quarter as consumers coped with higher fuel costs, declining asset values, the impact of widespread flooding in the Midwest and other financial challenges.

“During the second quarter, we reduced certain costs in response to reduced demand, but continued to fund for the future,” Loveman said. “We completed the re-branding of Caesars Indiana to Horseshoe Southern Indiana and Grand Tunica to Harrah’s Casino Tunica.

“Today we celebrate the grand opening of the $485 million expansion at Horseshoe Hammond in Northern Indiana, and we remain on track with the expansion of the hotel tower and convention center areas at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas,” Loveman said. “Further, we have completed the $565 million expansion of Harrah’s Atlantic City.”

A substantial portion of the debt of Harrah’s Entertainment’s consolidated group is issued by Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc., (HOC) a wholly owned subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. Therefore, the company believes it is meaningful to also provide information pertaining solely to the results of operations of HOC. The information for HOC assumes that a post-closing swap of certain properties between HOC and Harrah’s Entertainment that was consummated during the second quarter actually occurred on January 1, 2007.

Summaries of results by region follow:

Las Vegas Region

Second-quarter results for the company’s Las Vegas Region were lower than in the year-ago quarter due to reduced visitation and lower spend per trip. First-half declines were driven by lower spend per trip and fewer hotel rooms available due to room remodeling and remediation projects at three Harrah’s properties.

Atlantic City Region

Second-quarter revenue gains were attributable to strong results at Harrah’s Chester and the phased opening of the expansion at Harrah’s Atlantic City; those properties’ performances partially offset the impact of reduced visitation, smoking restrictions and new competition in key feeder markets. Income from operations declined due to reduced visitor volume and higher advertising spending.

First-half results also benefited from strong performances at Harrah’s Chester and from Harrah’s Atlantic City, which opened in phases during the first half of the year. Income from operations was affected by the Atlantic City smoking restrictions and competition from slot parlors in feeder markets.

Louisiana/Mississippi Region

Combined second-quarter revenues declined for the Louisiana/Mississippi Region as a result of lower visitor volume due in part to disruptions during the renovation in preparation for the re-branding of Grand Casino Tunica, which became Harrah’s Casino Tunica in mid-May. Income from operations was lower than in the year-earlier second quarter, when $37.0 million of insurance proceeds were included in the results.

Combined first-half revenues decreased due to a decline in visitation in the Tunica market and the impact of disruptions during the renovations at the former Grand Tunica. Income from operations in the first half of 2008 includes $185.4 million of insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of impacted assets, costs and expenses related to 2005 hurricanes, while the 2007 first-half income from operations includes $55.7 million of such insurance proceeds.

Iowa/Missouri Region

Combined second-quarter and first-half revenues were lower than in the year-ago periods due primarily to competition from a new facility that opened in the St. Louis market. Income from operations was higher in the 2008 second quarter as a result of cost savings, especially at our Iowa operations.

Illinois/Indiana Region

A smoking ban in Illinois led to lower 2008 second-quarter and first-half results in the Illinois/Indiana Region. The first-half numbers were also impacted by heavy rains and flooding that lead to closure of our Southern Indiana property, now known as Horseshoe Southern Indiana, for four days in March 2008.

Construction has been completed on a $485 million renovation of Horseshoe Hammond that celebrates its grand opening today.

Other Nevada Region

Second-quarter and first-half results for the Other Nevada Region declined due to lower spend per trip in the Reno and Laughlin markets, increased competition in Reno and higher promotional costs.

Managed/International/Other

Second-quarter revenues increased due to the inclusion of three new London Clubs International properties that opened in 2007. Income from operations was impacted by a smoking ban, lower table-games hold percentage and higher gaming taxes, all of which affected LCI results.

Second-quarter and first-half results from managed properties were lower due to termination of a Native American management contract in June 2007 and lower operating results from other managed properties.

Other items

Interest expense increased significantly from the 2007 second quarter and first half due to higher debt levels associated with the company’s acquisition, which was consummated in the 2008 first quarter. Second-quarter results were favorably affected by a credit of $61.0 million due to an increase in the fair value of the company’s derivative instruments. For the first six months of the year, the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments increased interest expense by $80.8 million. The average interest rate on the company’s variable-rate debt, including the impact of the derivative instruments, was 5.5 percent at June 30, 2008.

For the 2008 second quarter, tax benefits were generated by operating losses at an effective rate of 20.5 percent, whereas in the second quarter of 2007, operating income resulted in tax expenses at an effective rate of 37.3 percent.

(a) Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consists of Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, project opening costs, corporate expense, merger and integration costs, income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates and amortization of intangible assets. Property EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to Income from operations (as an indicator of our operating performance) or to Cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, Property EBITDA as presented by our Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF EBITDA TO ADJUSTED EBITDA

(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes and senior toggle notes, the interim loan agreement and/or our new senior credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2008 to January 27, 2008 and for the Successor period from January 28, 2008 to June 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA

(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes and senior toggle notes, the interim loan agreement and/or our new senior credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

In connection with the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP, eight of our properties and their related operating assets were spun off from Harrah’s Operating Company to Harrah’s Entertainment. As of the Merger date, the CMBS properties were Harrah’s Las Vegas, Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah’s Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe and Bill’s Lake Tahoe. The CMBS properties borrowed secured by the assets of the CMBS properties. On May 22, 2008, Paris Las Vegas and Harrah’s Laughlin and their related operating assets were spun out of HOC to Harrah’s Entertainment and became properties secured under the CMBS loans, and Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe, Bill’s Lake Tahoe and Showboat Atlantic City were transferred to HOC from Harrah’s Entertainment.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah’s Operating for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2008 to January 27, 2008 and for the Successor period from January 28, 2008 to June 30, 2008 and takes into consideration the CMBS Spin-Off, the London Clubs Transfer and the Post-Close CMBS exchange:
