“N/M” is used to reference a variance compared to a prior period that is Not Meaningful. This reference is used in several tables throughout this document.

Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA and income from operations before impairment charges are measurements not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies. Reconciliations of Property EBITDA to Net (loss)/income attributable to Caesars Entertainment Corporation and of Net (loss)/income attributable to Caesars Entertainment Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA are attached to this release.

The company’s 2010 fourth-quarter revenues increased approximately 1.0 percent to $2,121.0 million from $2,099.1 million in the 2009 fourth quarter, due primarily to revenues associated with our February 2010 acquisition of Planet Hollywood, offset by the continuing impact of the weak economy on customers’ discretionary spending. However, certain markets, including Las Vegas, have shown signs of stabilization and improving operating margins. Income from


operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $131.1 million, compared with income from operations of $150.7 million for the 2009 fourth quarter. Included in the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 were impairment charges related to intangible assets of $49.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Prior to consideration of the impairment charges, income from operations for fourth-quarter 2010 increased to $180.1 million from $163.0 million for the 2009 fourth quarter. The increase was primarily driven by a tangible asset impairment charge in 2009 that did not recur in 2010, reduced levels of remediation expenses in the Las Vegas region, and the benefit of a $23.5 million property tax accrual adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter 2010.

Net loss for fourth-quarter 2010 was $194.0 million, compared with net income of $298.3 million for the year-ago quarter. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 included i) impairment charges for intangible assets totaling $49.0 million ($31.0 million, net of taxes) and ii) gains related to the early extinguishment of debt of $66.9 million ($42.7 million, net of taxes). Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 included i) impairment charges for intangible assets totaling $12.3 million ($5.7 million, net of taxes) and ii) gains related to the early extinguishment of debt of $686.3 million ($417.6 million, net of taxes).

Revenues for full-year 2010 declined 1.0 percent to $8,818.6 million from $8,907.4 million in 2009, as incremental revenues associated with the Planet Hollywood acquisition were unable to offset the continuing impact of the recession on customers’ discretionary spending. Income from operations for full-year 2010 was $532.3 million, compared with a loss from operations of $607.8 million in the prior year. Included in income/(loss) from operations for the full-years 2010 and 2009 were impairment charges for intangible assets totaling $193.0 million ($156.8 million, net of taxes) and $1,638.0 million ($1,559.6 million, net of taxes), respectively. Prior to consideration of these impairment charges, income from operations for the full year 2010 decreased to $725.3 million from $1,030.2 million in the prior year. The decline was driven by the income impact of reduced revenues and the previously disclosed litigation and asset reserve charges recorded during the second quarter 2010, partially offset by a tangible asset impairment charge in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 and the benefit of the property tax accrual adjustment mentioned above.

Net loss for full-year 2010 was $823.3 million, compared with net income of $846.4 million for the year-ago period. Included in net loss for the full-year 2010 were: i) the aforementioned impairment charges for intangible assets and ii) gains related to the early extinguishment of debt of $115.6 million ($73.7 million, net of tax). Included in net income for full-year 2009 were: i) aforementioned impairment charges for intangible assets; and ii) gains related to the early extinguishment of debt of $4,965.5 million ($3,006.5 million, net of tax).

“Our overall revenues rose slightly for the second straight quarter and our EBITDA margins improved, thanks largely to our continued focus on rigorous cost discipline,” said Gary Loveman, Caesars Entertainment chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We also achieved the highest overall customer-satisfaction scores in our company’s 73-year history.

“During the quarter, we initiated a new program to streamline our operations further, and I’m confident we will end this year with an even leaner, more efficient and responsive organization,” Loveman said.

“While most markets in which we operate showed modest revenue gains or stabilization in the fourth quarter, Atlantic City did remain challenged,” Loveman said. “Yet we’re encouraged that Governor Christie and New Jersey’s legislative leadership have created the right structure for revitalization of the Atlantic City market.

“We’re also excited that our new joint venture with Rock Gaming, LLC, broke ground earlier this month on casino projects in Cleveland and Cincinnati that will operate under the Horseshoe brand name,” Loveman said. “The two casinos combined will offer about 4,100 slot machines, 180 table and poker games, and exciting dining, retail and entertainment venues to an estimated 14 million visitors annually.” Both projects are expected to open in 2012, pending receipt of required regulatory approvals.

In November 2010, we consummated our previously announced transaction under which affiliates of Apollo Management VI, LP, TPG Capital, LP, and Paulson & Co. Inc. exchanged $1,118.3 million face amount of debt for approximately 15.7 percent of the common stock of Caesars. Caesars raised $557.0 million in the first stage of the transaction in June 2010 through the sale of senior notes to Apollo, TPG and Paulson.

A substantial portion of the debt of Caesars Entertainment’s consolidated group is issued by Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (CEOC) (formerly Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc.). Therefore, the company believes it is meaningful to also provide information pertaining to the results of operations of CEOC.

REGIONAL RESULTS

In order to provide more meaningful information than would be possible on either a consolidated basis or an individual property basis, our casino properties as of December 31, 2010, have been grouped into regions to facilitate discussion of our operating results.

On a consolidated basis, when compared with the respective periods of 2009, visitation by our rated players decreased 5 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and decreased 1 percent for the full-year 2010. The amount spent per rated-player trip increased approximately 1 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and decreased approximately 2 percent for the full-year 2010. Average daily room rates and occupancy were generally flat for both the fourth quarter and full-year 2010.

For the Las Vegas region, when compared with the respective periods of 2009, visitation by our rated players increased 15 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and increased 4 percent for the full year 2010, and the amount spent per rated-player trip decreased 5 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and decreased 4 percent for the full year 2010. From a hotel perspective, revenues increased 16 percent for the fourth quarter 2010, as our occupancy percentage increased 3.5 percentage points while our average daily room rates remained flat. For the full year 2010, hotel revenue increased 9.2 percent as our occupancy increased 1.8 percentage points while our average daily room rates decreased 3 percent.

For the Atlantic City region, when compared with the respective periods of 2009, visitation by our rated players decreased 9 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and decreased 1 percent for the full year 2010, and the amount spent per rated-player trip decreased 5 percent for the fourth quarter 2010 and decreased 7 percent for the full year 2010. From a hotel perspective, our revenues were relatively flat for the fourth quarter 2010 as our occupancy percentage decreased 3 percentage points while our average daily room rates increased 4 percent. For the full year 2010, hotel revenue increased 5 percent as our occupancy percentage was relatively consistent with the prior year while our average daily room rates increased 5 percent.

For the remainder of our United States markets, visitation by our rated players for the fourth quarter 2010 decreased 8 percent, while spend per rated-player trip increased 4 percent. For the full-year 2010, visitation by our rated players was down 3 percent while customer spend per rated trip increased 2 percent.


Further discussion of our results by region follow:

LAS VEGAS REGION

Hotel occupancy remained above 90 percent, and 2010 fourth-quarter and full-year revenues increased 11.9% and 5.1%, respectively, in the Las Vegas Region from the year-ago periods largely due to the first quarter 2010 acquisition of Planet Hollywood. Same-store revenue increases of 0.9 percent in the 2010 fourth quarter resulted primarily from increased spend per visitor, despite lower room rates due to increased room inventory in the market.

Las Vegas revenues for the full year 2010 increased to $2,834.8 million from $2,698.0 million in 2009 due to our February 2010 acquisition of Planet Hollywood. On a same-store basis, revenues declined 3.5 percent for the full year 2010, resulting primarily from decreased spend per visitor during the first three quarters of 2010. Increased labor and depreciation expenses in the region combined with the income impact of reduced same-store revenues resulted in reduced income from operations for the full year 2010, before consideration of the 2009 impairment charges. Included in 2010 fourth-quarter and full-year income from operations but not in property EBITDA is incremental depreciation associated with the Caesars Palace expansions placed into service late in 2009, remediation costs primarily incurred at two properties within the region, and the write-off of assets associated with certain capital projects.

ATLANTIC CITY REGION

The Atlantic City market continues to be affected by the current economic environment as well as competition from new casinos and the introduction of table games in the Pennsylvania market.

Reduced customer spend per trip, combined with competition from new casinos and the introduction of table games in the Pennsylvania market, led to lower Atlantic City Region revenues during the 2010 fourth quarter and full year. Included in the


2009 full-year income from operations was a charge of $178.7 million related to impairment of goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets at certain of the region’s properties. The 2010 fourth-quarter and full-year property EBITDA and (loss)/income from operations were lower than the prior year periods, before consideration of the impairment charge, as cost-saving initiatives were unable to offset the income impact of reduced revenues and increased marketing and labor-related expenses. Also included in 2010 full-year income from operations but not in property EBITDA is the write-off of assets associated with certain capital projects.

LOUISIANA/MISSISSIPPI REGION

Reduced visitation and customer spend per trip unfavorably impacted the first three quarters of 2010, with these trends stabilizing during the fourth quarter 2010 when revenues were relatively consistent with the comparable period of 2009. Included in the 2010 and 2009 full-year income from operations were charges of $51.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, related to impairment of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at one of the region’s properties. The 2010 fourth-quarter property EBITDA and income from operations improved from 2009 as cost-saving initiatives more than offset the income impact of slightly reduced revenues. The 2010 full-year property EBITDA and income from operations, before consideration of impairment charges, were lower than in 2009, as cost-saving initiatives were unable to offset the income impact of reduced revenues and increased marketing expenses during the first three quarters of 2010.

IOWA/MISSOURI REGION

Revenues in the region declined for the 2010 fourth quarter and full year compared to 2009 due to new competition in the region and lower visitor spend per trip. Included in 2010 full-year income from operations was a charge of $9.0 million related to impairment of intangible assets at one of the region’s properties. Income from operations and property EBITDA for the 2010 fourth quarter increased from 2009, as cost-savings initiatives more than offset the income impact of reduced revenues. For full-year 2010, income from operations before consideration of impairment charges and property EBITDA declined from 2009 primarily due to the income impact of revenue declines.

ILLINOIS/INDIANA REGION

Revenues in the region increased for the 2010 fourth quarter from the 2009 comparable period, primarily due to increased visitation. Revenues in the region decreased for the full year 2010 from 2009 due to decreased customer spend per trip. Included in the 2010 fourth-quarter and full-year income from operations were charges of $38.0 million and $58.0 million, respectively, related to impairment of intangible assets at certain of the region’s properties. Included in the 2009 full-year loss from operations was a charge of $180.7 million related to impairment of intangible assets at certain of the region’s properties. Income from operations prior to consideration of impairment charges, and property EBITDA increased for the fourth quarter and full year of 2010 from the 2009 periods as a result of reduced marketing expenses and the benefit of a $23.5 million property tax accrual adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter 2010.

OTHER NEVADA REGION

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 results for the Other Nevada Region declined from the 2009 periods due to lower guest visitation and lower visitor spend per trip. Also contributing to the decline in income from operations for full-year 2010 was a charge of $49.0 million, recorded during the second quarter of 2010, related to the impairment of intangible assets at one of the region’s properties.

MANAGED AND INTERNATIONAL

Revenues from our managed properties decreased for the fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 due to the continued impact of the current economic environment on our managed properties. Revenues from our international properties for the fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 increased from 2009 due to increased visitation and increased spend per trip at our Uruguay and London Clubs properties. Included in 2010 full-year income from operations was a charge of $6.0 million related to impairment of intangible assets at our international properties. Included in the 2009 fourth-quarter income from operations was an adjustment to a preliminary impairment charge recorded in the third quarter 2009 related to one of our LCI properties.

Included in the 2009 full-year loss from operations were charges of $31.0 million related to impairment of intangible assets. Prior to consideration of impairment charges, income from operations improved slightly for the full year of 2010 from 2009 due to strong revenue performance and cost-saving initiatives.

OTHER ITEMS

Interest expense increased by $89.1 million for the 2010 full year from the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to increased debt levels resulting from the April 2010 debt issuance, the sale of debt to Paulson, Apollo and TPG in June 2010 that remained outstanding until its exchange for common stock in November 2010, an increase in the weighted average interest rates on our outstanding debt, and increased expense associated with interest-rate swap agreements and interest-rate cap agreements.

In the 2010 second quarter, we recorded a charge of $52.2 million to fully reserve a note-receivable balance related to land and pre-development costs contributed to a venture for development of a casino project in Philadelphia with which we were involved prior to December 2005. Also in the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a charge of $25.0 million relating to a previously disclosed litigation matter. These reserves are reported for the full year 2010 within project opening costs and other items within our Consolidated Summary of Operations.

For the 2010 fourth quarter, we recognized a gain of $66.9 million on the repurchase of CMBS loans. During the first three quarters of 2010, we recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment transactions of $48.7 million, resulting in a net gain of $115.6 million for the full year 2010.

For the 2010 fourth quarter, we recorded a tax benefit of $104.2 million on pre-tax loss of $298.2 million, compared with a tax provision of $61.0 million on pre-tax income of $359.3 million for the 2009 fourth quarter. For the full year 2010, we recorded a tax benefit of $468.7 million on pre-tax loss of $1,292.0 million, compared with a tax provision of $1,651.8 million on pre-tax income of $2,498.2 million for the full year 2009.

Caesars Entertainment has undertaken comprehensive cost reduction efforts to right-size expenses with business levels. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company began a new initiative to attempt to reinvent certain aspects of its functional and operating units in an effort to gain significant further cost reductions and streamline our operations. Since the inception of our cost savings programs, Caesars Entertainment has identified $856.3 million in estimated cost savings, of which approximately $648.8 million had been realized as of December 31, 2010. Included in the $856.3 million program size are additional initiatives that total $153.2 million identified during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Caesars Entertainment will host a conference call today, February 25, at 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time to review its fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 results.

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 loss 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.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF NET (LOSS)/INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT

CORPORATION TO ADJUSTED EBITDA

(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments comparable to those required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the CEOC indenture governing the senior notes, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured 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 Net (loss)/income attributable to Caesars Entertainment Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF NET (LOSS)/INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT

CORPORATION TO LTM ADJUSTED EBITDA

(UNAUDITED)

Last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments comparable to those required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the CEOC indenture governing the senior notes, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting LTM 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 LTM Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles Net (loss)/income attributable to Caesars Entertainment Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA and LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT OPERATING

COMPANY, INC. 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, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. As Planet Hollywood is an unrestricted subsidiary of CEOC, adjustments included in the table below related to Planet Hollywood are excluded from the covenant computations under the CEOC debt agreements.

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 Net loss attributable to Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RECONCILIATION OF NET (LOSS)/INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT OPERATING COMPANY, INC. TO LTM ADJUSTED EBITDA

(UNAUDITED)

LTM 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, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. As Planet Hollywood is an unrestricted subsidiary of CEOC, adjustments included in the table below related to Planet Hollywood are excluded from the covenant computations under the CEOC debt agreements.

We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting LTM 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 LTM Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles Net (loss)/income attributable to Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. to LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
