CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

In these footnotes, the words “Company,” “Caesars Entertainment,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Caesars Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise.

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

As of June 30, 2012, we owned, operated, or managed, through various subsidiaries, 53 casinos in 13 U.S. states and seven countries. The majority of these casinos operate in the United States and England, primarily under the Caesars, Harrah’s, and Horseshoe brand names in the U.S. Our casino entertainment facilities include 34 land-based casinos, 12 riverboat or dockside casinos, three managed casinos on Indian lands in the U.S., one managed casino in Canada, one casino combined with a greyhound racetrack, one casino combined with a thoroughbred racetrack, and one casino combined with a harness racetrack. Our 34 land-based casinos include one in Uruguay, nine in England, one in Scotland, two in Egypt, and one in South Africa. We view each casino property as an operating segment and aggregate all such casino properties into one reportable segment.

On January 28, 2008, Caesars Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and affiliates of TPG Capital, LP (together with such affiliates, “TPG” and, together with Apollo, the “Sponsors”) in an all-cash transaction (“the Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition and through February 7, 2012, our stock was not publicly traded.

Effective February 8, 2012, as the result of the Company’s initial public offering, our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “CZR.” In connection with the public offering, the Company effected a 1.742-for-one split of its common stock. All applicable share and per-share data presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this stock split. See Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share,” for further information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable for interim periods and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The results for the interim periods reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire 2012 fiscal year. The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from our audited consolidated condensed financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2011 10-K”) which has been recast to reflect the assets and liabilities of Harrah’s St. Louis casino as held for sale as further described in Note 2, “Acquisitions, Investments and Dispositions.” The information included in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q (the “10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated condensed financial statements in the 2011 10-K. We have recast certain amounts for prior periods to conform to our 2012 presentation.

Note 2—Acquisitions, Investments and Dispositions

Acquisitions and Investments

Chester Downs

In January 2012, we received notice that the minority owners of Chester Downs and Marina, LLC (“Chester Downs”) elected to exercise their put rights thereby requiring us to purchase from the minority owners 90% of their interest in Chester Downs for consideration of $9.6 million. We consummated this purchase on February 14, 2012. As a result, we now have a 99.5% ownership interest in this property.

7

Windsor Casino Limited

In June 2012, Windsor Casino Limited (“WCL”) redeemed and canceled all of the WCL shares held by HPP International Corporation (a Hilton affiliate), an unrelated third party, representing 50% of WCL’s equity, for $8.7 million. The redemption of the shares increased Caesars’ ownership interest to 100%. The results of WCL for the periods subsequent to the transaction are consolidated with our results of operations. Prior to June 2012, we had a 50% ownership interest in WCL that was accounted for under the equity method. WCL operates Caesars Windsor located in Windsor, Ontario, and the province of Ontario owns the complex.

Dispositions

Harrah’s St. Louis

In May 2012, the Company, along with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into an equity interest purchase agreement with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) whereby the Company is selling its Harrah’s St. Louis casino to Penn for a purchase price of $610.0 million subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals. The sale is expected to close in the second half of 2012. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations of CEOC.

All assets and liabilities included in the purchase agreement have been classified as held for sale in our consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as follows:

(In millions)	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011

Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	9.6	$	10.1
Liabilities held for sale, current	$	9.6	$	10.1

Net revenues, income before income taxes and net income of Harrah’s St. Louis, which are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 3—Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

(In millions)	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Land and land improvements	$	7,420.5		$	7,411.8
Land concessions		504.4			606.7

Less: accumulated depreciation		(2,958.2	)		(2,607.4	)
	$	16,676.1		$	17,069.9

Interest capitalized was $9.2 million and $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $18.0 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest capitalized in 2012 was primarily related to the Linq project in Las Vegas.

In March 2012, we recorded an impairment of $167.5 million on tangible assets related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi that was included in construction in progress. During the second quarter of 2012, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will divest of our investment in a land concession in Macau prior to the end of the remaining 35-year term of the concession. As a result, we performed an impairment assessment on this investment and recorded an impairment charge of $101.0 million.

Depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization, corporate expense, and income from discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss, is as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011

We completed an impairment assessment of goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets during the second quarter of 2012, and recorded an impairment of $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles as a result of reduced revenues associated with our trademarks. For our assessment, we determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit as a function, or multiple, of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), combined with estimated future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the Company’s capital structure and the prevailing borrowing rates within the casino industry in general. Both EBITDA multiples and discounted cash flows are common measures used to value and buy or sell cash-intensive businesses such as casinos. We determine the estimated fair values of our non-amortizing intangible assets by primarily using the Relief From Royalty Method and Excess Earnings Method under the income approach.

Credit Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, CEOC entered into the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own properties that are security for the CMBS Financing, as defined in our 2011 10-K.

In May 2011, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things: (i) allow CEOC to buy back loans from individual lenders at negotiated prices at any time, which may be less than par, (ii) allow CEOC to extend the maturity of term loans or revolving commitments, as applicable, and for CEOC to otherwise modify the terms of loans or revolving commitments in connection with such an extension, and (iii) modify certain other provisions of the credit facilities. CEOC also extended its Credit Facilities by (i) converting $799.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders to B-5 term loans with an extended maturity date of January 28, 2018 and a higher interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Extended Term Loans”) and (ii) converting $423.3 million of revolver commitments held by consenting lenders into Extended Term Loans.

In March 2012, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of $2,731.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders from January 28, 2015 to January 28, 2018 and increase the interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Term B-6 Loans”); (ii) convert $82.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments held by consenting lenders to Term B-6 Loans and promptly following such conversion, repay $1,095.6 million of B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-6 term loans; (iii) extend the maturity of $25.0 million original maturity revolver commitments from January 28, 2014 to January 28, 2017 and increase the interest rate and the undrawn commitment fee with respect to such extended revolver commitments and terminate $6.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments; and (iv) modify certain other provisions of the Credit Facilities. In addition to the foregoing, CEOC may elect to extend and/or convert additional term loans and/or revolver commitments from time to time.

During the second quarter of 2012, CEOC extended the maturity on an additional $123.5 million of B-1, B-2, and B-3 term loans and converted another $38.0 million of original maturity revolver commitments to Term B-6 Loans.

As of June 30, 2012, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $7,300.5 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $6,220.3 million comprised of $1,987.0 million maturing on January 28, 2015, $975.0 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and $3,258.3 million maturing on January 28, 2018 and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,080.2 million, with $1,055.2 million maturing January 28, 2014 and $25.0 million maturing on January 28, 2017, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $3.8 million, with the balance due at maturity. As of June 30, 2012, $97.9 million of the revolving credit facility is committed to outstanding letters of credit. After consideration of the letter of credit commitments, $982.3 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

CMBS Financing

In March 2011, we purchased $108.1 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $73.5 million, recognizing a gain of $33.2 million, net of deferred financing costs. In April 2011, we purchased $50.0 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $35.0 million, recognizing a gain of $14.3 million, net of deferred financing costs.

In January 2012, we purchased $2.0 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $1.0 million, recognizing a gain of $1.0 million, net of deferred financing costs. In March 2012, we purchased $116.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $70.8 million, recognizing a gain of $44.8 million, net of deferred financing costs. In April 2012, we purchased $83.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $50.2 million, recognizing a gain of $32.7 million, net of deferred finance charges.

Other Financing Transactions

In February 2012, Chester Downs issued $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2020 through a private placement. Chester Downs used $232.4 million of the proceeds of the notes to repay its existing term loan plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty. The remaining proceeds were used to make a distribution to Chester Downs’ managing member, Harrah’s Chester Downs Investment Company, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEOC, and for other general corporate purposes.

In February 2012, Caesars Operating Escrow LLC and Caesars Escrow Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of CEOC, completed the offering of $1,250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020, the proceeds of which were placed into escrow. On March 1, 2012, the escrow conditions were satisfied and CEOC assumed the notes. CEOC used $1,095.6 million of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay a portion of its senior secured term loans under the Credit Facilities in connection with the March 2012 amendment discussed above.

During the second quarter of 2012, a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment purchased $5.9 million face value of CEOC debt for $3.2 million, recognizing a gain of $1.0 million.

In June 2012, a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment issued a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $28.5 million. See Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share,” for more information.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

Certain of our borrowings have covenants and requirements that include, among other things, the maintenance of specific levels of financial ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions. Specifically, CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities require CEOC to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio of no more than 4.75 to 1.0, which is the ratio of senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted. This ratio excludes up to $2,200.0 million of first priority senior secured notes and up to $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not wholly owned. This ratio also reduces the amount of senior first priority secured debt by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. As of June 30, 2012, CEOC’s senior secured leverage ratio was 4.30 to 1.0. Many factors affect CEOC’s continuing ability to comply with the covenant including (a) changes in gaming trips, spend per trip and hotel metrics, which are correlated to a consumer recovery, (b) increases in cost-savings actions, (c) asset sales, (d) issuing additional second lien or unsecured debt, (e) equity financings, (f) delays in investments in new developments, or (g) a combination thereof. In addition, under certain circumstances, our senior secured credit facilities allow us to apply cash contributions received by CEOC as an increase to Adjusted EBITDA if CEOC is unable to meet its Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.

In addition, certain covenants contained in CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities and indentures covering its second priority senior secured notes and first priority senior secured notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio (LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted to fixed charges) of at least 2.0 to 1.0, a total first priority secured leverage ratio (first priority senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 4.5 to 1.0, and/or a consolidated leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 7.25 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2012, CEOC’s total first priority secured leverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio were 6.05 to 1.0 and 12.02 to 1.0, respectively. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, CEOC’s earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $614.8 million. For purposes of calculating the fixed charge coverage ratio, fixed charges includes consolidated interest expense less interest income and any cash dividends paid on preferred stock (other than amounts eliminated in consolidation). For purposes of calculating the total first priority secured leverage ratio and the consolidated leverage ratio, the amounts of first priority senior secured debt and consolidated total debt, respectively, are reduced by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. The covenants that provide for the fixed charge coverage ratio, total first priority secured leverage ratio, and consolidated leverage ratio described in this paragraph are not maintenance covenants.

Note 6—Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments–Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of June 30, 2012, we have entered into eight interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $5,750.0 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows.

The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:

Effective Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Paid			Variable Rate Received as of June 30, 2012			Next Reset Date	Maturity Date
	(In millions)
April 25, 2011	$	250.0		1.351	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		250.0		1.347	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		250.0		1.350	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.068	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.150	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.750	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.264	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.814	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the July 25, 2012 reset.

On January 18, 2012, the Company amended the terms of three $1,000.0 million notional value of interest rate swap contracts with a corresponding change in the elected interest rate on $3,000.0 million of term loans under the Credit Facilities. Effective January 25, 2012 through January 25, 2014, the variable rate received on the swaps changed from three-month to one-month LIBOR and the fixed payment rate was reduced by 16.5 basis points. The table above reflects the amended payment rates.

Derivative Instruments–Interest Rate Cap Agreements

We have an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the CMBS Financing. The CMBS interest rate cap agreement, which was effective in January 2008 and terminates February 13, 2013, is for a notional amount of $6,500.0 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. We are amortizing deferred losses from the interest rate cap frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) into income over the original remaining term of the hedged forecasted transactions that are still probable of occurring. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $5.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively, as an increase to interest expense, and we will record an additional $13.9 million as an increase to interest expense and AOCL through the termination date, all related to deferred losses on the interest rate cap. At June 30, 2012, $4,650.2 million of the interest rate cap was designated a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate cap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

The hedging relationship between the CMBS Financing and the interest rate cap has remained effective subsequent to each debt extinguishment. In connection with the extinguishments, we reclassified deferred losses out of AOCL and into interest expense associated with the hedge for which the forecasted future transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

Derivative Instruments–Other

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a $33.2 million written put option (the “Option”) for certain preferred equity interests. The potential future aggregate cash payments of $33.2 million related to the Option may occur from time to time. Based on the structure of this security as a written put option, the obligation for these potential cash payments is not reflected in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Option is recorded in our consolidated condensed balance sheets at its fair value, which was $0 as of June 30, 2012.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from AOCL, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 by approximately $42.2 million and $84.0 million, and $50.8 million and $117.3 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2012, our variable-rate debt, excluding $5,750.0 million of variable-rate debt hedged using interest rate swap agreements, represents 28% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is 72% of our total debt.

Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share

Common Stock

In January 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with certain of its direct and indirect stockholders, pursuant to which the Company, Hamlet Holdings, and entities controlled by the Sponsors released the contractual transfer restrictions on 24.2 million shares of our common stock (the “Released Shares”) beneficially owned by certain indirect stockholders (the “Participating Co-Investors”). In consideration for such release, the Participating Co-Investors agreed to contribute 1.8 million shares to the Company (the Delivered Shares”). The Company agreed to cause the registration for resale (the “Shelf Registration”) under the Securities Act of the remaining Released Shares not constituting Delivered Shares (the “Registered Shares”) and the listing of the Registered Shares on NASDAQ.

In February 2012, the Company received the Delivered Shares, placed them into its treasury, and offered 1.8 million newly issued shares of its common stock and an underwriters allotment of 271,697 shares, in a public offering, at $9.00 per share. As a result of the public offering, the Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “CZR.” In connection with this public offering, the Company effected a 1.742-for-one split of its common stock.

16

The Shelf Registration was filed in February 2012, and, upon its effectiveness, 50% of the Registered Shares became eligible for resale under the Shelf Registration. The Participating Co-Investors agreed not to offer or sell, dispose of or hedge, directly or indirectly, the remaining 50% of the Registered Shares without the permission of certain of the underwriters for the public offering for a period of 180 days from the pricing of such offering, subject to certain exceptions and automatic extension in certain circumstances.

In March 2012, the Company filed a prospectus with the SEC, as part of a registration statement, to sell shares of common stock, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $500.0 million. In April 2012, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, whereby the Company may issue and sell up to 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has sold 15,000 shares with an aggregate offering price of approximately $216,000.

Non-controlling Interests

In March 2012, Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC (formerly known as Rock Gaming, LLC) (“Rock”) and Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (“CIE”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Caesars, entered into an agreement pursuant to which Rock purchased approximately 6,155 shares of CIE common stock for $30.4 million in cash and agreed to purchase additional shares of CIE common stock on or before July 2, 2012. In June 2012, CIE and Rock modified the agreement such that CIE issued to Rock approximately 382 shares of CIE common stock and a promissory note for $28.5 million in exchange for $30.4 million in cash. The promissory note is convertible into approximately 5,773 shares of CIE common stock upon the satisfaction of certain specified criteria and is classified as long-term debt in our consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the original agreement, Rock has the option to purchase approximately 3,140 additional shares of CIE common stock for $19.2 million in cash, which option must be exercised on or before November 15, 2012.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share from continuing operations and discontinued operations is calculated by dividing loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, respectively, net of income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Because the Company generated net losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average basic shares outstanding was used in calculating diluted loss per share from continuing operations, and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations, as using diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

The following table shows the number of shares which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as they were anti-dilutive:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock options outstanding		8.2		6.9		8.2		7.0
Warrants outstanding		0.4		0.1		0.4		0.1
Total anti-dilutive potential common shares		8.6		7.0		8.6		7.1

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense consists primarily of time-based and performance-based options of Caesars Entertainment and one of its subsidiaries that have been granted to management, other personnel and key service providers. The Company has recognized compensation expense associated with its stock-based compensation programs as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Amounts included in:
Corporate expense	$	4.1	$	1.8	$	14.2	$	5.6
Property, general, administrative, and other		17.6		2.6		19.0		4.7
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	21.7	$	4.4	$	33.2	$	10.3

17

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $16.2 million of expense related to stock-based awards of its subsidiaries, of which $15.5 million related to liability-classified awards that are re-measured to fair value at each reporting date, and $0.7 million related to equity-classified awards that are measured at their fair value at the date of grant.

In February 2012, the Company declared a 1.742-for-one stock split in connection with its public offering, and the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”). Directors, employees, officers and consultants or advisors who render services to the Company or its subsidiaries may be selected to receive awards under the 2012 Incentive Plan. Our Board of Directors or a subcommittee thereof has the authority to administer the 2012 Incentive Plan. The 2012 Incentive Plan includes the following limits:

• no more than 6,867,018 shares may be issued with respect to incentive stock options under the 2012 Incentive Plan;

• the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to those options and stock appreciation rights that are granted during any calendar year to any individual under the 2012 Incentive Plan is 3,433,509 shares, prior to consideration of the July 2012 amendment as further described in Note 16, “Subsequent Events”;

• the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be delivered pursuant to performance-based awards (other than options and stock appreciation rights intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), and other than cash awards covered by the cap in the following sentence) that are granted to any one participant in any calendar year will not exceed 1,373,404 shares, either individually or in the aggregate;

• in addition, the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any one participant in respect of all performance-based awards payable only in cash and not related to shares of common stock and granted to that participant in any one calendar year will not exceed $25.0 million; and

• awards cancelled during the year will be counted against the limits in the preceding two bullets to the extent required by Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result of adopting the 2012 Incentive Plan, options may no longer be granted under the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Plan adopted February 27, 2008 (the “2008 Incentive Plan”).

The following is a summary of share-based option activity, adjusted for the stock split, including options under the 2008 Incentive Plan and 2012 Incentive Plan and warrants to purchase common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		8,744,649		$	38.15
Granted		397,951		$	15.11
Canceled		(617,678	)	$	26.25
Outstanding at June 30, 2012		8,524,922		$	32.85
Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2012		7,210,354		$	32.04
Exercisable at June 30, 2012		4,531,956		$	28.15

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company approved a one-time stock option exchange program. Refer to Note 16, “Subsequent Events.”

Note 9—Write-downs, Reserves, and Project Opening Costs, net of Recoveries

Write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries include project opening costs and various pre-tax charges to record contingent liability reserves, costs associated with efficiency projects, project write-offs, demolition costs, and other non-routine transactions, net of recoveries of previously recorded non-routine reserves.

The components of write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries are as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012			2011			2012			2011
Write-downs and reserves, net of recoveries:
Remediation costs	$	3.6		$	4.3		$	6.0		$	7.8
Efficiency projects		1.7			14.0			7.8			25.5
Flood insurance deductibles		0.1			4.4			0.5			4.4
Litigation reserves, awards and settlements		(0.2	)		5.3			(0.2	)		6.1
Divestitures and abandonments		1.9			(2.6	)		14.6			(0.4	)
Other		0.8			(0.3	)		0.1			—
Total write-downs and reserves, net of recoveries		7.9			25.1			28.8			43.4
Project opening costs		0.1			4.1			1.8			4.3
Total write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries	$	8.0		$	29.2		$	30.6		$	47.7

Remediation costs relate to projects at certain of our Las Vegas properties.

Efficiency projects represent costs incurred to identify and implement efficiency programs aimed at streamlining corporate and operating functions to achieve cost savings and efficiencies, such as Project Renewal.

Flood insurance deductibles represent the deductibles incurred as a result of the temporary closures of certain properties due to flooding.

Litigation reserves, awards and settlements include costs incurred/(reversed) as a result of the Company’s involvement in various litigation matters, including contingent losses.

Divestitures and abandonments include (gains)/losses on divested assets and costs associated with various projects that are determined to no longer be viable.

Note 10—Income Taxes

Total income taxes were allocated as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012			2011			2012			2011
Income tax (benefit) on loss before income taxes	$	(118.6	)	$	(107.7	)	$	(277.4	)	$	(193.5	)
Income tax expense on discontinued operations		8.8			8.0			16.2			15.5
Accumulated other comprehensive loss/(income)		1.7			(17.2	)		4.6			0.2
Accumulated deficit		—			—			—			6.0

We classify reserves for tax uncertainties within accrued expenses and deferred credits and other in our consolidated condensed balance sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. Reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities.

We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on open tax positions, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months. The IRS audit of our 2008 federal income tax year concluded during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The IRS proposed an adjustment to our cancellation of debt income tax position which was appealed. In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the issue was settled resulting in a reduction of our net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.4 million. In connection with the settlement, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) decreased by $72.2 million. The decrease in UTB did not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table shows the fair value of our financial assets and financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

(In millions)	Balance			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
June 30, 2012
Assets:
Investments	$	114.5		$	113.0	$	1.5		$	—
Derivative instruments		*			—		*			—
Liabilities:
Derivative instruments		(353.2	)		—		(353.2	)		—
December 31, 2011
Assets:

Derivative instruments		*			—		*			—
Liabilities:
Derivative instruments		(336.1	)		—		(336.1	)		—

* Amount rounds to zero

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to estimate or measure fair value, key inputs, and significant assumptions:

Investments – Investments consist of debt and equity securities with maturity dates greater than 90 days at the date of the security’s acquisition. The majority of these securities are traded in active markets, have readily determined market values, and use Level 1 inputs. Securities for which there are not active markets or the market values are not readily determinable are valued using Level 2 inputs. All of these investments are included in either prepayments and other current assets or deferred charges and other in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The fair value of investments in marketable securities were as follows:

(In millions)	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Corporate bonds	$	1.5	$	1.5
Equity securities		2.7		2.4
Government bonds		108.3		102.5
Other liquid investments		2.0		2.0
Total investments	$	114.5	$	108.4

Gross unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were not material.

Derivative instruments – The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are derived from market prices obtained from dealer quotes for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Derivative instruments are included in either deferred charges and other, or deferred credits and other, in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. Our derivatives are recorded at their fair values, adjusted for the credit rating of the counterparty if the derivative is an asset, or adjusted for the credit rating of the Company if the derivative is a liability. See Note 6, “Derivative Instruments,” for more information.

20

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The following table shows the fair value of our assets that are required to be measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and the total impairment recorded on these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2012:

(In millions)	Balance		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Impairment
June 30, 2012
Assets:
Intangible and Tangible Assets	$	593.9	$	—	$	—	$	593.9	$	(134.0	)

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to estimate or measure fair value, key inputs, and significant assumptions:

Intangible and Tangible Assets – Market and income approaches were used to value the intangible and tangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB Codification Subtopic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, and Subtopic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Inputs included an expected range of market values, probabilities made by management that each value could be achieved, expected cash flows, recent comparable transactions, discounted cash flows, discount rate, royalty rate, growth rate, and tax rate.

Items Disclosed at Fair Value

Long-term debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt has been calculated based on the borrowing rates available as of June 30, 2012, for debt with similar terms and maturities, and based on market quotes of our publicly traded debt. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s outstanding debt had a fair value of $18,946.9 million and a carrying value of $19,943.6 million.

Note 12—Litigation, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

The Company is party to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Contractual commitments

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Note 5, “Debt.” At June 30, 2012, our estimated interest payments for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2016 are $882.0 million, $1,771.3 million, $1,773.1 million, $1,396.7 million, and $1,227.2 million, respectively, and our estimated interest payments thereafter are $1,782.6 million.

There have been no material changes of our other known contractual obligations to those set forth in our 2011 10-K.

Contingent Liability - Nevada Sales and Use Tax

The Supreme Court of Nevada decided in early 2008 that food purchased for subsequent use in the provision of complimentary and/or employee meals is exempt from use tax. Previously, such purchases were subject to use tax and the Company has claimed, but not recognized into earnings, a use tax refund totaling $32.2 million, plus interest, as a result of the 2008 decision. In early 2009, the Nevada Department of Taxation (“Department”) audited our refund claim, but has taken the position that those same purchases are now subject to sales tax; therefore, they subsequently issued a sales tax assessment totaling $27.4 million plus interest after application of our refund on use tax.

On October 21, 2010, the administrative law judge (“ALJ”) issued a decision and ruled in our favor on a number of key issues. Although both the Company and the Nevada Department of Taxation filed an appeal of the decision with the Nevada

21

Tax Commission (“Commission”), the case was returned to the ALJ for further factual development. The ALJ’s issued a second decision on March 8, 2012, reversing her previous, partially favorable ruling relating to the taxability of complimentary employee meals and affirmed the taxability of complimentary meals but limited the retroactive application of the sales tax to the Company’s use tax refund claims. The ALJ decision was affirmed in the Commission hearing on June 25, 2012. We are awaiting the Commission’s written decision; however, we intend to petition for judicial review in District Court.

Subsequent to the written Commission decision issued in February for another gaming company, the Department has issued draft regulations requiring the collection of sales tax on the retail value of complimentary meals and the cost of employee meals. Although the Commission approved the regulation on June 25, 2012, there are several additional approvals required, including by the Legislative Commission, before the regulation is finalized. On June 6, 2012, the Department issued additional guidance regarding the payment of sales tax on complimentary and employee meals, maintaining that meals are taxable as of February 15, 2012 but that the payment of the tax is due, without penalty or interest, at the earlier of (a) one month after approval of the regulation by the Legislative Commission, (b) one month after a Nevada Supreme Court decision, (c) the effective date of any legislation or (d) June 30, 2013. The Department provided this additional guidance regarding the deferral of payment requirements because “the Legislative Commission has not had the opportunity to approve the regulation and because there are several ongoing appeals that have not been heard by the Tax Commission and the Nevada Supreme Court”.

Due to uncertainty regarding the ultimate outcome of our pending litigation and/or the final approval and form of the pending regulation, we continue to record certain reserves against loss on this matter.

There have been no material updates for our other contingent liabilities to those set forth in our 2011 10-K.

Note 13—Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures

Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes

The following table reconciles our interest expense, net of capitalized interest, per the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss, to cash paid for interest:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012			2011
Interest expense, net of interest capitalized	$	1,058.4		$	998.0
Adjustments to reconcile to cash paid for interest:
Net change in accruals		22.8			8.4
Amortization of deferred finance charges		(52.5	)		(37.8	)
Net amortization of discounts and premiums		(111.1	)		(78.1	)
Amortization of accumulated other comprehensive loss		(14.3	)		(19.9	)
Rollover of PIK interest to principal		(0.5	)		(0.6	)
Change in fair value of derivative instruments		(17.1	)		(10.0	)
Cash paid for interest	$	885.7		$	860.0
Cash payments/(refunds) of income taxes, net	$	9.4		$	(4.7	)

Significant non-cash transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2012 include a contribution of 1.8 million shares by the Participating Co-Investors, as further described in Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share,” a $33.0 million non-cash impairment on trademark intangibles, as further described in Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and non-cash impairment charges on tangible assets of $268.5 million, as further described in Note 3, “Property and Equipment, net.”

22

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

In connection with the Acquisition, the Sponsors entered into a services agreement with Caesars Entertainment relating to the provision of financial and strategic advisory services and consulting services. In addition, we pay a monitoring fee for management services and advice. Fees paid to the Sponsors, which are included in corporate expense in our consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss, were $7.5 million in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and $15.0 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We also reimburse the Sponsors for expenses that they incur related to their management services.

Note 15—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the updated guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The changes result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the new guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. As this is a presentation and disclosure requirement, there was no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the revised guidance for goodwill impairment testing. The new guidance allows an entity to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. In July 2012, the guidance was amended to include assessments for indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company adopted the amended guidance in the second quarter of 2012 as permitted under the amendment.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

Option Exchange

On July 23, 2012, certain committees of our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting common stock approved a one-time stock option exchange program to permit the Company to cancel certain options to purchase stock of Caesars Entertainment held by some of our employees, service providers and directors (the “Eligible Options”), in exchange for new, or replacement, options (the “Option Exchange”). They also approved an amendment to the Caesars Entertainment Corporation 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to which stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted during any calendar year to any individual under the 2012 Plan from 3,433,509 shares to 6,500,000 shares.

As a result of the Option Exchange, assuming all eligible options are exchanged, we will incur approximately $16 million in additional compensation expense attributable to the incremental fair value of the replacement options granted to eligible participants in exchange for surrendered Eligible Options, measured as of the date such awards are granted, of which approximately $3 million will be recorded in the third quarter of 2012, upon consummation of the exchange. The unamortized compensation expense from the surrendered Eligible Options and any incremental compensation expense associated with the replacement options under the Option Exchange will be recognized over the expected life of the new awards. Including the impact of the incremental expense, assuming all eligible options are exchanged, we will recognize a total non-cash charge of approximately $63 million over the vesting period of the replacement options of Caesars Entertainment.

Baltimore, Maryland VLT License

On July 31, 2012, the State of Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission granted a license to operate a video lottery terminal (VLT) facility in downtown Baltimore to CBAC Gaming, LLC (“CBAC Gaming”), the investment group led by Caesars and Rock.

CBAC Gaming plans to invest more than $300 million to develop Harrah’s Baltimore. In addition to 3,750 VLTs, the property will offer multiple food and beverage amenities, including a fine dining steakhouse and signature casual dining restaurants. The process of obtaining necessary permits and arranging logistics will commence immediately. Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2013, with an opening targeted in the second quarter of 2014.

Note 17—Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

CEOC is the issuer of certain debt securities that have been guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment and certain subsidiaries of CEOC. The following consolidating schedules present condensed financial information for Caesars Entertainment, the parent and guarantor; CEOC, the subsidiary issuer; guarantor subsidiaries of CEOC; and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Caesars Entertainment and CEOC as of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, we have included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are material to our investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial position and operating results of Caesars Entertainment for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in the 2011 10-K.

REGIONAL AGGREGATION

The executive officers of the Company review operating results, assess performance, and make decisions related to the allocation of resources on a property-by-property basis. We believe, therefore, that each property is an operating segment and that it is appropriate to aggregate and present the operations of the Company as one reportable segment. To provide more meaningful information than would be possible on a consolidated basis, the Company’s casino properties (as of June 30, 2012 or otherwise noted below), have been grouped into seven regions as shown in the table below to facilitate discussion of the Company’s operating results.

In May 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Harrah’s St. Louis casino to Penn National Gaming, Inc. for a purchase price of $610.0 million. The sale is expected to close in the second half of 2012 and the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund CEOC capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations of CEOC. As a result of the transaction, the assets and liabilities of the Harrah’s St. Louis casino that are included in the sale are classified as held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The results of the Harrah’s St. Louis casino are presented as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and are no longer included in the Iowa/Missouri region results.

Quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $2,165.7 million, up $4.0 million, or 0.2%, from the year-earlier period, due mainly to increased revenues from the Company’s international and online operations, including Playtika Ltd., which was acquired during 2011, that offset lower casino revenues in several U.S. regions, primarily Atlantic City. Casino revenues in the second quarter of 2012 have deteriorated from the first quarter of 2012 due to a softening of economic conditions which has negatively impacted the Company’s results.

For the second quarter of 2012, income from operations decreased $149.8 million, or 64.7%, to $81.8 million from $231.6 million in the prior-year quarter, due mainly to non-cash impairment charges of $101.0 million related to the Macau land concession and $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles as well as higher depreciation expense in the Las Vegas region associated with the 662-room Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace that opened to the public in January 2012.

Net loss attributable to Caesars for the second quarter of 2012 was $241.7 million, up $86.2 million, or 55.4%, from the second quarter of 2011. Higher net losses in the second quarter of 2012 reflect the decrease in income from operations described above, largely offset by lower interest expense and an increase in gains on early extinguishments of debt.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $4,374.1 million, up $96.3 million, or 2.3%, from the year-earlier period and reflect the increase in the first quarter of 2012 due mainly to higher revenues in the Las Vegas and Louisiana/Mississippi regions, and revenue increases from the Company’s international and online operations, including revenues related to Playtika, largely offset by a decline in casino revenues, primarily Atlantic City.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, income from operations decreased $287.9 million, or 67.6%, to $138.3 million from $426.2 million in the year-ago period. This decrease was mainly attributable to the impairments recognized in the second quarter of 2012, discussed above, as well as a $167.5 million non-cash impairment related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi. Also contributing to the decrease in income from operations was higher depreciation expense associated with the Octavius Tower and higher corporate expense. The decrease to income from operations from 2011 was partially offset by the income impact of higher revenues, a decrease of approximately $24 million in property tax expense due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City and other cost reductions achieved as part of Project Renewal and other cost-savings initiatives.

Net loss attributable to Caesars for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $522.3 million, up $219.4 million, or 72.4%, from the same period in 2011 and reflects the decrease in income from operations described above and higher interest expense, partially offset by an increase in gains on early extinguishments of debt. See “Other Factors Affecting Net Income” below for further discussion of the Company’s interest expense and early extinguishments of debt.

Performance Metrics

The Company measures its performance in part through tracking of trips by rated customers, which means a customer whose gaming activity is tracked through its Total Rewards customer-loyalty system (“trips”), and by spend per rated customer trip (“spend per trip”). A trip is created by a Total Rewards card holder engaging in one or more of the following activities while at one of the Company’s properties: (1) hotel stay, (2) gaming activity, or (3) a comp redemption, which means the receipt of a complimentary item given out by the Company’s casinos. In markets where we have multiple properties, customers often engage in trip generating activities at more than one property in a day. In these instances, we consider the market as a whole and do not count multiple trips. Customer spend means the cumulative rated theoretical spend (which is the amount of money expected to be retained by the casino based upon the mathematics underlying the particular game as a fraction of the amount of money wagered by the customer) across all game types for a specific customer. For the Atlantic City region, the Company refers to customers that stay at a hotel in one of its properties as lodgers and customers that may play at a casino located in one of its properties but do not stay at a hotel at such property as non-lodgers.

The following table reflects the percentage increase/(decrease) in trips and spend per trip for the U.S. regions for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the same periods in 2011.

	Quarter Ended June 30, 2012						Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
	Trips			Spend per Trip			Trips			Spend per Trip
Consolidated Caesars		(1.6	)%		(1.9	)%		(0.4	)%		(1.5	)%
Las Vegas region		2.3	%		(3.3	)%		3.8	%		(2.9	)%
Atlantic City region:
Lodgers		(10.9	)%		0.7	%		(7.1	)%		(0.2	)%
Non-lodgers		(8.2	)%		(0.7	)%		(4.2	)%		1.0	%
All other regions		2.1	%		(2.7	)%		1.2	%		(2.6	)%

On a consolidated basis, in 2012 compared to 2011, trips in the second quarter decreased 1.6% and decreased 0.4% in the six-month period. Trip increases were reflected in several of the U.S. regions in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011; however, they were unable to offset the declines in the Atlantic City region overall. The declines in spend per trip were led by the VIP segment, with the retail segment showing gains in some regions.

On a consolidated basis, in 2012 compared to 2011, second quarter cash average daily room rates increased from $92 to $95, and increased from $92 to $94 in the six-month period. Total occupancy percentage remained flat in the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Second-quarter net revenues in the Las Vegas region decreased $5.7 million, or 0.7%, in 2012 from 2011. Trip increases of 2.3% and the additional rooms resulting from the January 2012 opening of the Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace resulted in increased rooms revenues in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011; however lower casino revenues resulting from spend per trip declines, particularly in the VIP segment, of 3.3% more than offset those increases. Hotel revenues in the region increased 4.4%, as cash average daily room rates increased 4.5% to $97 from $93, which was partially offset by a decrease in total occupancy

35

percentages of 2.6 percentage points for the second quarter of 2012 from 2011. Income from operations decreased for the second quarter of 2012 due to the income impact of lower revenues and increases in property operating expenses and depreciation expense mainly associated with the Octavius Tower. Results in the region were also negatively impacted by the Linq construction activities, which the Company estimates to have reduced net revenues by approximately $10 million to $15 million and reduced income from operations by approximately $5 million to $10 million.

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 in the Las Vegas region increased $39.5 million, or 2.6%, from 2011, due primarily to strength in the international, high-end gaming segment in the first quarter of 2012 and to increased rooms revenues partially resulting from the January 2012 opening of the Octavius Tower. Trips increased by 3.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011; however, spend per trip declined 2.9%. Hotel revenues in the region increased 4.8% due in part to the 662 additional Octavius Tower rooms, cash average daily room rates increased 2.8% to $96 from $94, partially offset by total occupancy percentages which decreased 1.6 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011. Income from operations decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense associated with the Octavius Tower. The results in the region were also negatively impacted by construction on the Linq as described above.

During 2011, we commenced construction on Project Linq, a dining, entertainment, and retail development between our Flamingo and Imperial Palace casinos, on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip, which is scheduled to open in phases in the second half of 2013. Project Linq includes the construction of a 550-foot observation wheel, the High Roller, which is expected to open in the first quarter of 2014. Through June 30, 2012, $100.9 million had been spent on this project, of which $48.1 million was spent in 2012.

Net revenues for the second-quarter 2012 in the Atlantic City region were down $40.9 million, or 8.6%, from 2011, due mainly to lower casino revenues caused in part by a decline in trips. Trips by lodgers and non-lodgers declined 10.9% and 8.2%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011 due mainly to new competition in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions; however, spend per trip metrics for both lodger and non-lodger segments did not decline significantly compared with prior year. The Company expects the market to continue to be challenged by local and regional competition in future quarters. Income from operations was down in the second quarter of 2012 compared with 2011 due mainly to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense of approximately $7 million due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City.

In the six months ended June 30, 2012, net revenues declined from 2011 by $57.9 million, or 6.2%, due largely to trip declines in both the lodger and non-lodger segments. Spend per trip rose in the non-lodger segment but spend per trip by lodgers declined in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011. Income from operations was down due mainly to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense of approximately $24 million due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City.

Second-quarter 2012 net revenues in the Louisiana/Mississippi region increased slightly from 2011, due to last year’s flood related closures at three properties. There were increases in casino, food and beverage, and rooms revenues due mainly to a rise in trips; however spend per trip was down. Income from operations was lower in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011 due mainly to increased property operating expenses which more than offset the higher revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net revenues in the region increased $23.5 million, or 4.2%, from 2011. A rise in trips with a slight decline in spend per trip attributed to increases in casino, food and beverage and other revenues. Loss from operations was $88.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with income from operations of $70.6 million in 2011 due mainly to a $172.0 million charge in the first quarter of 2012, of which $167.5 million was a non-cash impairment related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi, partially offset by the income impact of higher revenues.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 in the Iowa/Missouri region decreased $2.7 million, or 2.3%, from 2011 due mainly to a decline in casino revenues resulting from fewer trips partly attributable to increased competition in the region; however, spend per trip increased. Income from operations increased for the second quarter of 2012 from 2011, due to a decrease in property operating expenses, partially offset by lower revenues.

Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $1.4 million, or 0.6%. Trips declined compared to the prior year period while spend per trip increased. Income from operations increased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011 due to higher revenues and reduced property operating expenses.

Second-quarter 2012 net revenues in the Illinois/Indiana region decreased $2.7 million, or 1.0%, from 2011, largely due to a decline in casino revenues attributable in part to new competition in the region beginning in the third quarter of 2011. The decline was partially offset by the comparative impact of the flood-related property closures in the second quarter of 2011. While trips rose slightly in 2012 compared to 2011 there was a decline in spend per trip. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2012 increased $2.3 million, or 5.7%, from the same period in 2011 due mainly to reduced property operating expenses, lower depreciation expense and a decrease in write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries.

37

Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $6.7 million, or 1.2%, from 2011, due to declines in casino revenues. Trips were negatively impacted by a bridge closure which began in the first week of September 2011 through reopening in February 2012, and new competition, but rose slightly when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Spend per trip also declined compared to 2011. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011 increased slightly due mainly to reduced property operating expenses that were able to offset revenue declines.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 for Managed, International, and Other increased $56.8 million, or 42.0%, from 2011, due mainly to higher revenues associated with the Company’s growing online operations, including the addition of revenues attributable to the 2011 acquisition of Playtika Ltd. Loss from operations increased $108.1 million, or 164.0%, in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011, due mainly to non-cash impairment charges, including $101.0 million related to the Macau land concession and $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles, partially offset by the income impact of higher revenues.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Capitalized

Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, decreased by $28.1 million, or 5.4% in the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to mark-to-market gains on derivatives of $17.6 million in 2012 compared with losses of $23.1 million in 2011, partially offset by higher debt balances compared with the year ago quarter. Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, increased by $60.5 million or 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011, due primarily to higher debt balances compared to the year ago period, and the write off of deferred financing costs and debt discounts associated with debt transactions completed in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense is reported net of interest capitalized of $9.2 million and $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $18.0 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest capitalized in 2012 is primarily related to the Linq project in Las Vegas.

Gains on Early Extinguishments of Debt

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $32.7 million, net of deferred financing costs, due primarily to the purchase of $83.7 million face value of CMBS Loans for $50.2 million. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $14.7 million, net of deferred financing costs, due to the purchase of $50.0 million face value of CMBS Loans for $35.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized gains on early extinguishments of debt of $79.5 million, net of deferred financing costs, due primarily to the purchases of $202.4 million face value of CMBS Loans for $122.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized gains on early extinguishments of debt of $47.9 million, net of deferred financing costs, due to purchases of $158.1 million face value of CMBS Loans for $108.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cost Savings Initiatives

Caesars Entertainment has undertaken comprehensive cost-reduction efforts to rightsize expenses with business levels through its implementation of “Project Renewal,” an initiative designed to reinvent certain aspects of the Company’s functional and operating units to gain significant further cost reductions and streamline its operations. As a part of Project Renewal, we designed a shared-services organization that will enable more efficient decision making and sharing of best practices. Caesars anticipates that the Company will have a permanently lower cost structure and will benefit from greater concentration of specified talent and quicker decision making. We estimate that Project Renewal and other cost-savings programs produced $42.5 million and $84.5 million, in incremental cost savings for the second quarter and six months of 2012, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2011. Additionally, as of June 30, 2012, these cost-savings programs will produce additional annual cost savings of $147.2 million, based on the full implementation of current projects that are in process. As we firm up cost reduction activities, this figure could change.

Capital Spending and Development

We incur capital expenditures in the normal course of business, and we perform ongoing refurbishment and maintenance at our existing casino entertainment facilities, to maintain our quality standards. We also continue to pursue development and acquisition opportunities for additional casino entertainment and other hospitality facilities that meet our strategic and return on investment criteria.

Our planned development projects, if they go forward, will require, individually and in the aggregate, significant capital commitments and, if completed, may result in significant additional revenues. The commitment of capital, the timing of completion, and the commencement of operations of development projects are contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of final agreements and receipt of approvals from the appropriate political and regulatory bodies. We must also comply with covenants and restrictions set forth in our debt agreements.

Our capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $192.2 million, which includes an increase of $27.5 million of construction payables. Estimated total capital expenditures for 2012, including 2012 expenditures associated with Project Linq, are expected to be between $590.0 million and $640.0 million.

Cash used for capital expenditures in the normal course of business is typically made available from cash flows generated by our operating activities and established debt programs, while cash used for development projects, including projects currently under development as well as additional projects being pursued, is typically funded from established debt programs, specific project financing, and additional debt offerings. As a result of the sale of Harrah’s St. Louis, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund CEOC capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations of CEOC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, totaled $985.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $894.6 million at December 31, 2011. Restricted cash, including $70.8 million included in prepayments and other current assets, totaled $417.0 million at June 30, 2012. Nearly all of the restricted cash consists of cash reserved under loan agreements for development projects and certain expenditures incurred in the normal course of business, such as interest service, real estate taxes, property insurance, and capital improvements. The net proceeds generated from the sale of Harrah’s St. Louis will be utilized to fund CEOC capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligation of CEOC. Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities associated with Harrah’s St. Louis, which is defined as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, are included in our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

We are a highly leveraged company and a substantial portion of our operating cash flows are used to fund debt service. As of June 30, 2012, we had $19,943.6 million book value of indebtedness outstanding, including capital lease indebtedness. Cash paid for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $885.7 million. Payments of short-term debt obligations and other commitments are expected to be made from operating cash flows and from borrowings under our established debt programs. Our operating cash inflows are typically used for operating expenses, debt service costs, working capital needs, and capital expenditures in the normal course of business. Long-term obligations are expected to be paid through operating cash flows, refinancing of debt, or, if necessary, additional debt or equity offerings.

In addition to cash flows from operations, available sources of cash include amounts available under our current revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2012, our additional borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $982.3 million. In March 2012, the Company filed a prospectus with the SEC, as part of a registration statement, to sell shares of common stock, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $500.0 million, and, in April 2012, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement whereby the Company may issue and sell up to 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time.

In recent years, we have not been generating sufficient operating cash flows to fund our investing activities, requiring us to fund our investments with additional financing. Our ability to fund our operations and pay our debt and debt service obligations depends, in part, upon economic and other factors that are beyond our control, and disruptions in capital markets and restrictive covenants related to our existing debt could impact our ability to secure additional funds through financing activities.

A substantial portion of our financing is comprised of credit facility and notes financing obtained by CEOC. The CEOC financings are neither secured nor guaranteed by Caesars’ other wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that own properties that secure $4,829.1 million face value, as of June 30, 2012, of the CMBS loans. Information pertaining solely to the consolidated financial position and results of CEOC and its subsidiaries can be found in Exhibit 99.1 of this 10-Q.

Please refer to Note 5, “Debt,” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for details on our debt outstanding. This detail includes, among other things, a table presenting details on our individual borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, changes in our debt outstanding, and certain changes in the terms of existing debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Note 5 also includes details on restrictive covenants related to certain of our borrowings. Note 6, “Derivative Instruments,” discusses the use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap derivatives to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments.

As described in Note 5 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, certain of our borrowings have covenants and requirements that include, among other things, the maintenance of specific levels of financial ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions. We are in compliance with CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities and indentures, including the senior secured leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2012. In order to comply with the quarterly senior secured leverage ratio in the future, the Company will need to achieve a certain amount of Adjusted EBITDA - Pro- Forma - CEOC Restricted and / or reduced levels of total senior secured net debt (total senior secured debt less unrestricted cash). The factors that could impact the foregoing include (a) changes in gaming trips, spend per trip and hotel metrics, which are correlated to a consumer recovery, (b) ability to effect cost-savings initiatives, (c) asset sales, (d) issuing additional second lien or unsecured debt, or project financing, (e) equity financings, (f) delays in development project spending, or (g) a combination thereof. In addition, under certain circumstances, our senior secured credit facilities allow us to apply cash contributions received by CEOC as an increase to Adjusted EBITDA if CEOC is unable to meet its Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. However, there is no guarantee that such contributions will be forthcoming.

Based upon the Company’s current operating forecast, as well as our ability to achieve one or more of the factors noted above, the Company believes that it will continue to be in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio and meet its cash flow needs during the next twelve months. If the Company was unable to maintain compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio and the Company failed to remedy a default pursuant to the terms of its senior secured credit facilities, there would be an “event of default” under the senior secured credit agreement. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that we will be successful in sales of assets, or that future borrowings will be available to us, to fund our liquidity needs and pay our indebtedness when due. If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs or pay our indebtedness when it is due, we may be required to further reduce expenses, sell additional assets, or attempt to restructure our debt. Any such actions could negatively impact our competitive position and revenue generation. In addition, we have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under certain of our debt agreements, and, if any of those lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.

Guarantees of Third-Party Debt and Other Obligations and Commitments

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Note 5, “Debt,” of this Form 10-Q. At June 30, 2012, our estimated interest payments for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2016 are $882.0 million, $1,771.3 million, $1,773.1 million, $1,396.7 million and $1,227.2 million, respectively, and our estimated interest payments thereafter are $1,782.6 million.

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in our 2011 10-K.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE

SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains or may contain “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events. Further, statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue,” or “pursue,” or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout the report. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to future actions, new projects, strategies, future performance, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and future financial results, wherever they occur in this report, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors set forth above and from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to the risk factors set forth above, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include without limitation:

• the impact of our substantial indebtedness;

• the impact, if any, of unfunded pension benefits under multi-employer pension plans;

• the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and on the gaming industry in particular;

• construction factors, including delays, increased costs of labor and materials, availability of labor and materials, zoning issues, environmental restrictions, soil and water conditions, weather and other hazards, site access matters and building permit issues;

• the effects of environmental and structural building conditions relating to our properties;

• our ability to timely and cost-effectively integrate companies that we acquire into our operations;

• our ability to realize the expense reductions from our cost savings programs;

• access to available and reasonable financing on a timely basis;

• changes in laws, including increased tax rates, smoking bans, regulations or accounting standards, third-party relations and approvals, and decisions, disciplines and fines of courts, regulators and governmental bodies;

• acts of war or terrorist incidents, severe weather conditions, uprisings or natural disasters;

• access to insurance on reasonable terms for our assets;

• abnormal gaming holds (“gaming hold” is the amount of money that is retained by the casino from wagers by customers);

• the potential difficulties in employee retention and recruitment as a result of our substantial indebtedness or any other factor; and

• the effects of competition, including locations of competitors and operating and market competition.

You are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report for Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate obligations. Of our $22,707.4 million face value of debt, including capital lease obligations, at June 30, 2012, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $5,750.0 million of variable rate debt, and $6,265.1 million of debt remains subject to variable interest rates.

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign currency translation gains and losses were not material to our results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Our only material ownership interests in businesses in foreign countries are London Clubs, Caesars Golf Macau, and an approximate 95% ownership of a casino in Uruguay. Therefore, we have not been subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would have on our future results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, we hold investments in various available-for-sale equity securities; however, our exposure to price risk arising from the ownership of these investments is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2012. Based on such evaluation, they have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

We currently plan to hold our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) on April 24, 2013 with a location and time to be determined. The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2013 Annual Meeting is expected to be the close of business on February 25, 2013. Because we did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders last year, we are informing our stockholders of the following deadlines for stockholder proposals.

In order to be considered timely, a stockholder proposal submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2013 Annual Meeting must have been received by our Corporate Secretary no later than January 15, 2013, which we believe is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials.

Stockholders also have the right under our Bylaws to nominate director candidates and make other stockholder proposals by following specified procedures. For a stockholder proposal for the 2013 Annual Meeting that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, including director nominations, the stockholder must (1) provide the information required by our Bylaws and (2) their notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary date, in the case of the first annual meeting following the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering, shall be deemed to be April 15, 2012). Based upon our Bylaws, stockholders should timely deliver notice to our Corporate Secretary not earlier than December 16, 2012 and not later than January 15, 2013.

Proposals shall be sent to our principal executive offices at One Caesars Palace Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89109, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers and their Affiliates may retain and use, at their own expense, archival copies of all of the Assumed Contracts, books, records and other documents or materials conveyed hereunder, in each case, which (a) are used in connection with Sellers’ or any of their Affiliates’ businesses other than the Business or (b) if Sellers, in good faith, determine that Sellers are reasonably likely to need access to, in connection with the preparation or filing of any Tax Returns or compliance with any other Tax reporting obligations or the defense (or any counterclaim, cross-claim or similar claim in connection therewith) of any suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation (including any Tax audit or examination) against or by Sellers, the Company or any of its Affiliates pending or threatened as of the Closing Date; provided, that Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, hold such documents or materials relating to the Business, and all confidential or proprietary information contained therein, confidential pursuant to Section 9.5(b).

Section 1.4 Assignability and Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the attempted or actual conveyance, assignment or transfer to Sellers (or their designee) of any Excluded Assets is non-assignable or non-transferrable, by its terms, without the consent of a third party (each, a “Non-Assignable Excluded Asset”), then Sellers and Buyer shall each use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the authorization, approval, consent or waiver of such other party to the assignment of any such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to obtain a consent with respect to a Non-Assignable Excluded Asset delay or otherwise impede the Closing, but the Closing shall not constitute the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset, and this Agreement shall not constitute a conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset unless and until such authorization, approval, consent or waiver is obtained. The parties shall enter into a commercially reasonable arrangement to provide that Sellers shall receive the interest of the Company in the benefits and obligations under such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset, and Sellers shall be liable to the Company in a fashion equivalent to what Sellers’ Liabilities would be under the Non-Assignable Excluded Asset if it were assigned, until such time as such third party authorization, approval, consent or waiver shall have been obtained, and such arrangement shall include performance by the Company as an agent of Sellers to the extent commercially reasonable. Provided that Sellers are liable for all Liabilities related to a Non-Assignable Excluded Asset that Sellers would otherwise be liable for under this Agreement if such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset constituted an Excluded Asset, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, promptly pay over to Sellers (or their designee) the net amount (after expenses and Taxes) of all payments received by it in respect of such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset. In the event that the Company acts as Sellers’ agent or is otherwise required to act to fulfill obligations related to a Non-Assignable Excluded Asset pursuant to this Section 1.4(a), Sellers shall assist and fully cooperate with Buyer and the Company in fulfilling such obligations.

(b) Once authorization, approval or waiver of or consent for the conveyance, assignment or transfer of any such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset is obtained, such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset shall be conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered to Sellers (or their designee) without any further action by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers shall assume all Liabilities in respect of any Non-Assignable Excluded Asset that Sellers would otherwise assume under this Agreement if such Non-Assignable Excluded Asset constituted an Excluded Asset if it is receiving the benefits thereof; provided, further, that Sellers shall also be liable to the Company for performing its obligations under the arrangements described in Section 1.4(c) hereof.

(c) Buyer understands and agrees that it is solely Buyer’s responsibility to obtain any and all operating agreements (other than the Assumed Contracts) necessary to conduct the Business from and after the Closing Date, including replacement software license agreements for the software which will replace the Excluded Software. Subject to the terms

5

hereof, Buyer shall also be responsible for obtaining new licenses and permits for the operation of the Business from and after the Closing. Except as set forth in Section 1.1(l) hereof, no licenses or permits will be transferred by Sellers in connection with the sale of the Equity Interests.

Section 1.5 Removal of Excluded Assets. All items located at the Real Property that constitute Excluded Assets may be removed on or prior to the Closing Date and within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Removal Period”) by Sellers, their Affiliates or their respective Representatives, with the removing party making any repairs necessary as a result of any damage caused during such removal, but without any obligation on the part of Sellers, their Affiliates or any removing party to replace any item so removed. Buyer will provide Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives with reasonable access to the Real Property to effect such removal, at reasonable times within the Removal Period and after at least one (1) business day’s prior notice to Buyer, and Sellers will use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Buyer’s operations. Buyer, at its option, will have the right to have a Representative present during any such removal activity. Sellers recognize that Buyer will be replacing Excluded Software and that Buyer desires that its replacement software will be operational as of the Closing. Sellers agree to, and to cause the Company to, cooperate reasonably with Buyer in effecting the transition from Excluded Software to replacement software, by allowing Buyer access to the Real Property to install the replacement software; provided that: (a) there shall be no material interference with the Business before the Closing; (b) Sellers shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in connection with such cooperation; and (c) if Sellers or the Company shall be required to reveal proprietary information of Sellers or their Affiliates to Buyer in connection with such cooperation, then Sellers or the Company will, at Sellers’ option, either (i) not de-install third party Excluded Software that is now installed on personal computers that are included in the Acquired Personal Property (unless required to do so by Law or by agreement with the provider of the Excluded Software) and Buyer agrees that Buyer will either obtain new licenses for such Excluded Software or cease to use such Excluded Software following the Closing, or (ii) de-install third party Excluded Software that is now installed on personal computers included in the Acquired Personal Property. Buyer’s agreement pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall survive the Closing and shall be covered by Buyer’s indemnification obligations in ARTICLE XII hereof and enforceable by Sellers by any means available at Law or equity, including injunctive relief, which Buyer hereby agrees is an appropriate remedy. If Sellers do not remove all of the Excluded Assets located at the Real Property within the Removal Period, then Buyer may dispose of or retain any such remaining Excluded Assets.

Buyer and each of the Buyer Related Parties are in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which Buyer or any Buyer Related Party owns or operates gaming facilities. To Buyer’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, there are no facts, which if known to the Gaming Authorities would (a) be reasonably likely to result in the denial, revocation, limitation or suspension of a gaming license currently held or other Gaming Approval, or (b) result in a negative outcome to any finding of suitability proceedings currently pending, or under the suitability proceedings necessary for the consummation of this Agreement. Buyer is not aware of any material investigations of it or any of its subsidiaries operating in Missouri which investigations could result in revocation of or material discipline related to its Class A License.

Section 8.6 Permits; Compliance with Gaming Laws.

(a) Buyer, and to its knowledge, each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, key employees and Persons performing management functions similar to officers and partners holds all permits, registrations, findings of suitability, licenses, variances, exemptions, certificates of occupancy, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities (including all authorizations under Gaming Laws) necessary to conduct the business and operations of Buyer (the “Buyer Permits”), each of which is in full force and effect except for such Buyer Permits, the failure of which to hold would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to (x) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect or (y) materially impair or materially delay the Closing, and no event has occurred which permits, or upon the giving of notice or passage of time or both would permit, revocation, non-renewal, modification, suspension, limitation or termination of the Buyer Permits that are currently in effect, the loss of which would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to (x) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect or (y) materially impair or materially delay the Closing. Buyer, and to Buyer’s knowledge, Buyer’s directors, officers, key employees and Persons performing management functions similar to officers and partners are, and since January 1, 2009 have been, in compliance with the terms of the Buyer Permits, except for such failures to comply, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to (x) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect (y) materially impair or materially delay the Closing. Buyer has not received notice of any investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to Buyer that is pending, and, no investigation or review is threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated any intention to conduct the same, other than those the outcome of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to (x) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect or (y) materially impair or materially delay the Closing.

31

(b) Neither Buyer, nor any director, officer, key employee or partner of Buyer or its Affiliates has received any written claim, demand, notice, complaint, court order or administrative order from any Governmental Entity in the past three (3) years under, or relating to, any violation or possible violation of any Gaming Laws, other than as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect or (ii) materially impair or materially delay the Closing. To the knowledge of Buyer, there are no facts, which if known to the regulators under the Gaming Laws could reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, limitation or suspension of a license, finding of suitability, registration, permit or approval of Buyer or its Affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer or partner, or limited partner under any Gaming Laws. Neither Buyer nor any officer, director, key employee or Person performing management function similar to an officer or partner of Buyer or their Affiliates, has suffered a suspension or revocation of any Buyer Permit held under the Gaming Laws, other than as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect or (ii) materially impair or materially delay the Closing.

Section 8.7 Waiver of Buyer’s Further Due Diligence Investigation. Subject to ARTICLE XIII hereof, Buyer acknowledges that it is familiar with the Purchased Assets and has had the opportunity, directly or through its representatives to inspect the Purchased Assets and conduct due diligence activities. Without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that the Purchase Price has been negotiated based on Buyer’s express agreement that there would be no contingencies to the Closing other than the conditions set forth in ARTICLE X hereof. Further, without limiting any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or condition of Sellers or the Company expressly set forth herein, Buyer acknowledges that it has waived and hereby waives as a condition to the Closing any further due diligence reviews, inspections or examinations with respect to the Real Property, including with respect to engineering, environmental, survey, financial, operational, regulatory and legal compliance matters.

Section 8.8 Litigation. There are no actions, claims, suits or proceedings pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer before any Governmental Entity, which, if determined adversely, could prevent or materially delay Buyer from completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Cooperation; Notice; Cure.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Law (including antitrust Laws and Gaming Laws), from the date hereof until the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall confer on a

(b) Sellers and Buyer shall promptly notify the other in writing of, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cure before the Closing Date, any event, transaction or circumstance, as soon as practical after it becomes known to such party, that causes or is reasonably expected to cause any representation, covenant or agreement of Parent, Sellers, the Company or Buyer under this Agreement to be breached in any material respect or that renders or is reasonably expected to render untrue in any material respect any representation or warranty of Parent, Sellers, the Company or Buyer contained in this Agreement. Nothing contained in Section 9.1 above shall prevent Sellers or the Company from giving such notice, using such efforts or taking any action to cure any such event, transaction or circumstance.

Section 9.4 Employee Matters.

(a) Each Property Employee, other than the Reserved Employees, who is an employee of the Company as of the Closing shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. Each of the Property Employees is an at-will employee, except that certain Property Employees may be eligible for severance compensation upon certain termination events under an employment agreement that covers any such Property Employee as set forth on Section 7.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall assume all employment agreements set forth in Section 9.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter to the extent in effect as of the Closing, provided that the applicable Property Employee consents to such assignment to the extent required by the terms of the applicable employment agreement.

(c) For a period of at least one (1) year immediately following the Closing Date, (x) Buyer shall provide the Transferred Employees who remain employed by the Company with base compensation, bonus opportunity and annual and long-term incentive compensation opportunity that are in the aggregate, on an employee by employee basis, no less favorable than those which the Transferred Employees were provided by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing and (y) Buyer shall honor the severance policies of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to Transferred Employees.

(d) For a period of at least one (1) year immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, pursuant to plans and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”), provide the Transferred Employees who remain employed by the Company employee benefits (including medical benefits) which are no less favorable in the aggregate on an employee by employee basis than those which the Transferred Employees were provided under the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to Closing. To the extent permitted under the terms of the Buyer Benefit Plans, Buyer shall cause service with the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Closing to be treated the same as service with any of Buyer and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and benefit accrual under the Buyer Benefit Plans (except (i) to the extent giving such credit would result in duplication of benefits, (ii) for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan, (iii) for purposes of any retiree medical plan or (iv) for any newly established plan of Buyer for which similarly situated employees of Buyer do not receive past service credit).

(e) Effective immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Transferred Employees to be covered by one or more medical benefit plans (“Buyer’s Medical Plans”), which shall provide benefits to the Transferred Employees and their dependents which in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the benefits that were provided to the Transferred Employees and their dependents by the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to Closing. To the extent permitted under the terms of Buyer’s Medical Plans, Buyer shall cause any Transferred Employees or their dependents to not be subject to any “pre-existing conditions” exclusions or limitations or “actively at work” requirements which would cause any of the Transferred Employees or their dependents otherwise to be excluded from Buyer’s Medical Plans immediately after the Closing. To the extent permitted under the terms of Buyer’s Medical Plans, Buyer shall give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, such employees for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs under any welfare benefit plans maintained or contributed to by the Company for its benefit immediately prior to the Closing Date.

37

(f) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish or designate a defined contribution retirement plan which is qualified or eligible for qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”).

Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to perform its responsibilities under the Transition Plan in order to effect transition of all Transitioned Functions to Buyer and its Affiliates at or prior to Closing. If Sellers do not identify to Buyers a Transitioned Function, in connection with the creation of the Transition Plan, on or prior to the Transition Planning Date, and such omission would materially impair Buyer’s ability to operate the Casino after the Closing Date, then, at Buyer’s request, Parent shall agree to perform such Transitioned Function on behalf of the Company, at cost, for a number of days from and after the Closing Date equal to the number of days that passed after the Transition Planning Date before Sellers first identify such Transitioned Function to Buyer; provided, that Parent shall not be required to perform any Transitioned Functions on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 9.11(g) after a date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date.

(b) If the FCC Approvals have not been obtained on or before the Closing Date and no special temporary authority has been granted by the FCC that allows Buyer to operate under the FCC Licenses, then (i) the Closing shall nevertheless occur as scheduled, and (ii) the parties will comply with any applicable requirements of the FCC or applicable Law (including the Company tendering for cancellation the FCC Licenses).

47

damage, destruction or other loss; provided, that the proceeds of such insurance shall be subject to (and recovery thereon shall be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions or any payment or reimbursement and shall constitute full compensation for the damage to the Casino, and Sellers and their Affiliates shall have no responsibility for restoration or repair of the Casino or any resultant loss, directly, by subrogation, or otherwise; and provided, further, that if one or more prior claims has been made after the Effective Date against the insurance with respect to the Purchased Assets that causes the amount of insurance coverage to be insufficient to cover such damage, destruction or other loss and the Company has failed to notify Buyer of such claim(s) pursuant to Section 9.1(e), then Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid the insurance proceeds with respect to such other claim(s) to Buyer so that it receives the full amount of insurance proceeds that it would have received but for such prior claim(s).

Nothing contained in Section 9.16 shall prevent Parent, Sellers, the Company or Buyer from giving such notice, using such efforts or taking any action to cure any of the foregoing.

In the event that (w) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or (c), (x) one or more Required Governmental Consents has not been obtained at or prior to the time of such termination, (y) all of the condition to Buyer’s obligation to effect the Closing set forth in Sections 10.1(a) or (b) and Sections 10.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) have been satisfied, or waived by Buyer, other than those conditions that are not satisfied because of the failure to obtain such Required Governmental Consent(s) and (z) any action announced, entered into or commenced by Buyer after the Effective Date (a “Buyer Corporate Transaction”) was a material cause of the failure to obtain such Required Governmental Consent(s) prior to the termination date, then, within three (3) business days of the consummation by Sellers of any Company Sale pursuant to a binding arms length agreement with a non-affiliated third party purchaser (the “Third Party Purchaser”) entered into within twelve (12) months of such termination date (a “New Sale Agreement”), Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount, if any, by which (i) the Purchase Price less the amount of the Deposit and any Extension Deposit previously released to Sellers pursuant to Section 11.2(c) exceeds (ii) the New Sale Price (the “Make-Whole Amount”); provided, that, if Sellers and/or the Company enter into a New Sale Agreement, they shall use all reasonable best efforts to maximize the New Sale Price and shall permit Buyer to participate on the same process as all other bidders in the sales process seeking a Third Party Purchaser; provided, however, that prior to entry into a New Sale Agreement, Sellers and the Company may use its good faith judgment to determine the most favorable Company Sale proposal, considering all legal, regulatory and financial aspects

ARTICLE XII.

Section 12.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a) Except as set forth in ARTICLE XI and Section 12.1(b) hereof, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each party hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any other party hereto, any Person controlling any such party or any of their Representatives whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement.

(b) The representations and warranties made by Parent, Sellers, the Company and Buyer in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) six (6) months after the Closing Date, provided, however, that the representations made in Sections 6.1 (Organization of Sellers), 6.2 (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 6.3 (Title to Equity Interests), 7.1 (Organization of the Company), 7.2 (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 7.14 (Brokers), 7.17 (Minimum Cash), 8.1 (Organization), 8.2 (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 8.3 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties in Section 7.5 (Tax) shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof) applicable to the collection of the applicable Tax that is the subject of such representations.

Any failure to submit any such notice of claim to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 12.4 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) Except with respect to Taxes that are governed by Section 12.2(d), if any lawsuit, action, proceeding, investigation, claim or enforcement action is initiated against an Indemnified Party by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this ARTICLE XII may be sought, Notice thereof, together with copies of all notices and communication relating to such Third Party Claim, shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as

56

promptly as reasonably practicable. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to:

(i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense if the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Damages related to the Third Party Claim;

(ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Parties and an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses or defense strategies available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Party or that there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel (provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party); and

(iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made (x) only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (y) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, without any cost, liability or admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to or by such Indemnified Party, and provides only for monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

57

(f) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim within sixty (60) days of the Notice of such Third Party Claim having been provided to the Indemnifying Party, the Damages arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim within such 60-day period, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.5.

(g) This Section 12.4 shall not apply to any claim with respect to Taxes that are governed by Section 12.2(d), which shall be governed exclusively by Section 12.9(c).

Section 12.5 Resolution of Conflicts and Claims.

(a) If the Indemnifying Party objects in writing to any claim for indemnification made by an Indemnified Party in any written Notice of a claim (an “Objection Notice”), Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims, and such Sellers and Buyer shall provide information to the other party (as reasonably requested) related to the issues set forth in the Objection Notice. If Sellers and Buyer should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(b) If no such agreement is reached after good faith negotiation, either Buyer or Sellers may demand mediation of the dispute, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in a pending action or proceeding involving a Third Party Claim, in which event mediation shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to mediation. In any such mediation, Buyer and Sellers agree to employ a mediator from the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to assist them in reaching resolution of such dispute according to the Commercial Mediation Rules of the AAA. The mediator shall be a corporate attorney with at least fifteen (15) years experience in acquisitions. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers. If, after mediation efforts, Buyer and Sellers should agree as to all or a portion of a claim, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. If after reasonable efforts, and over a period of sixty (60) calendar days, the parties are unable to reach agreement on such dispute utilizing the mediator, the parties shall be permitted to proceed with any legal remedy available to such party.

(c) The provisions of this Section 12.5 shall apply to disputes between the parties as to Tax matters subject to Section 12.9, with the term “Third Party Claim” replaced with “Tax Claim”.

Section 12.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to, indemnification from any of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof to the extent the aggregate claims for Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is

58

sought pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof are less than six million one-hundred thousand dollars ($6,100,000) (the “Deductible”) or exceed an amount equal to thirty million five-hundred thousand dollars ($30,500,000) (the “Cap”); provided, that, if the aggregate of all claims for Damages for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof equals or exceeds the Deductible, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for such Damages, subject to the limitations in this Section 12.6(a), only to the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible, but in any event not to exceed the Cap.

(b) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 12.6(a), no Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to, indemnification from any of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof to the extent any individual claim or series of related individual claims for Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i) hereof is less than $100,000, at which time, subject to the limitation set forth herein, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all such Damages from and including the first dollar of such Damages and all such Damages shall count towards the satisfaction of the Deductible.

(c) In calculating the amount of any Damages payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of the Damages (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Damage for which an indemnification claim has been made and (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds). If an Indemnifying Party pays an Indemnified Party for a claim and subsequently insurance proceeds in respect of such claim is collected by the Indemnified Parties, then the Indemnified Party promptly shall remit the insurance proceeds (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds) up to the amount paid by Indemnifying Party to Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any applicable insurance company any insurance proceeds in respect of any claim for which the Indemnified Parties seek indemnification under this ARTICLE XII.

Section 12.7 Payment of Damages. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 12.9(a), an Indemnified Party shall be paid in cash by an Indemnifying Party the amount to which such Indemnified Party may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this ARTICLE XII, within ten (10) business days after such amount is determined either by mutual agreement of the parties or on the date on which both such amount and an Indemnified Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been determined by a final judgment of a court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such proceeding.

Section 12.8 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) After the Closing, the indemnities provided in this ARTICLE XII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement; provided, however; that this exclusive remedy for Damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable

59

Section 12.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE XII shall be treated by the parties for income Tax purposes as adjustments to the purchase price, unless (i) otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) or (ii) Buyer provides Sellers with its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns required to be filed by, with respect to or that include the Company with respect to taxable periods of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns”), and such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns, to the extent they relate to the Company, shall be prepared consistent with past practices and this Agreement, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Sellers shall file or cause to be filed all Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date and Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns. Buyer shall file or cause to be filed all Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns for the Company that are prepared by Sellers pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 12.9(b)(i) that are due after the Closing Date and, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown as due on such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns, provided that neither Buyer nor the Company shall be required to sign or file any Tax Return (i) not prepared in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) if it reasonably determines that there is not substantial authority supporting each material

60

position reflected on such Tax Return (or such higher standard as may be required under applicable state, local or foreign Law to avoid the imposition of penalties) and, provided, further, that signing and filing a Tax Return in accordance with the foregoing provision shall not be considered an acknowledgement that such Tax Return complies with the requirements of this Agreement. Sellers shall pay to Buyer no later than three (3) business days prior to the due date for filing any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return referenced in the preceding sentence, the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns. Sellers shall provide Buyer a copy of each such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return for its review and comment a reasonable number of days prior to the due date (including any applicable extension) of such Tax Return, and Sellers shall reasonably consider any written comments of Buyer received prior to filing such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return. If the Company is permitted under any applicable income Tax Law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period in which the Closing occurs, Buyer and Sellers shall treat (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to treat) the Closing Date as the last day of such taxable period.

(ii) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Company for taxable periods starting on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), and shall cause such Tax Returns to be prepared consistent with past practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company shall file or cause to be filed all such Tax Returns for any Straddle Period and, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns. Sellers shall pay to Buyer no later than three (3) business days prior to the due date for filing any Tax Return for any Straddle Period the amount of Taxes owing with respect to the Straddle Period for which Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 12.2(d)(i). Buyer shall provide Sellers a copy of each such Tax Return for their review and comment a reasonable number of days prior to the due date (including any applicable extension) of such Tax Return, and Buyer shall reasonably consider any written comments of Sellers received by Buyer prior to filing such Tax Return.

(iii) For purposes of the indemnity provisions of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, employment, sales or use Taxes, Taxes based upon or related to income and other similar Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, employment, sales or use Tax and other similar Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date.

(c) Tax Contest. Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall promptly notify Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, in writing upon receipt by Buyer (or, following the Closing, the Company) or Sellers, as applicable, of a written notice of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company which Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, may be responsible for pursuant to Section 12.2(d) (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, no failure or

61

delay by Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, to provide notice of a Tax Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, hereunder except to the extent Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, is actually prejudiced thereby. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax Claim. Sellers shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Claim for a period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date if Sellers provide Buyer with notice of its election to control such claim within twenty (20) days of Buyer notifying Sellers of such Tax Claim. If Sellers do not elect to control any such Tax Claim within the time period set forth above, then Buyer shall be entitled to control all aspects of such claim. Buyer shall control any Tax Claim for a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date. If the resolution of any Tax Claim for any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the party that is not in control of such claim, (A) the party in control of such claim shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Claim, (B) the other party shall be entitled to participate in any proceedings with respect to such Tax Claim and (C) the party in control of such claim shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Claim without obtaining the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exclusively control the conduct of any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the Company for any taxable period other than a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(d) Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request, provided that the other party provides reimbursement for all reasonable out of pocket expenses) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall (i) retain all books and records in its (or its Affiliate’s) possession after the Closing with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods and (ii) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records.

(e) Certain Actions After Closing. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) make or change any (A) Tax election of the Company for a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or (B) property Tax election of the Company affecting the Tax Claim described in Section 7.5(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter in respect of certain property Taxes of the Company for the 2011 taxable period, (ii) amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return of the Company for a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iii) cause the Company to engage in any transaction on the Closing Date after the Closing that is

62

outside of the ordinary course of business, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; in each case, except for any action that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including, with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, the Company) that is material.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing or similar agreements between Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be terminated and all payables and receivables arising thereunder shall be settled, in each case prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing, neither Buyer nor the Company shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

(g) Tax Refunds. Sellers shall be entitled to any refund (whether by way of payment or reduction in Taxes otherwise payable in cash) received by Buyer or the Company of Taxes constituting an Excluded Liability; provided, however, that Sellers shall not be entitled to any refund of Taxes to the extent that such refund is attributable to the carryback of a loss or other Tax attribute arising in a Post-Closing Period. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, Buyer shall be entitled to any other refund of or with respect to the Company or with respect to Transfer Taxes paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.9(a). If any party receives a refund to which another party is entitled pursuant to this Section 12.9(g), such party shall pay over such refund (net of costs or Taxes to the party receiving such refund) to the party entitled to such refund no later than ten (10) business days following receipt of such refund.

ARTICLE XIII.

TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY

Section 13.1 Title Policy and UCC Search. Buyer has obtained the Title Commitment and agrees to accept the Title Policy delivered by the Company on or immediately prior to the date hereof and the Uniform Commercial Code search of Sellers dated as of April 25, 2012 (the “UCC Search”). Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of the Title Commitment, Title Policy and the UCC Search as evidence of the status of the Company’s title to the Purchased Assets and acceptance of the matters thereon as Permitted Liens. Buyer agrees to accept valid and insurable (at ordinary rates) fee simple title to the Real Property subject to the Permitted Liens and Permitted Encumbrances. Buyer shall have the option upon the Closing Date to purchase a date-down endorsement to the Title Policy (or, at Buyer’s option, a new title insurance policy) together with a non-imputation endorsement (if available) (the “Endorsement”), insuring that the Company is the owner of the Real Property described in the Title Policy, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Endorsement. Buyer shall pay the premium for the Endorsement.

Section 13.2 Defects Arising After the Effective Date.

(a) The UCC Search shall be updated by the Company not earlier than thirty (30) days and not later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. The Endorsement, if Buyer elects to obtain such Endorsement, shall be updated by Buyer not earlier than thirty (30) days and not later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. If the updated UCC Search and/or Endorsement, if applicable, discloses defects in title not shown by (i) the applicable Title Policy, (ii) UCC Search, (iii) the Company Disclosure Letter, (iv) the Title Commitment or (v) this

63

Agreement which, in any case, render fee simple title to the Real Property uninsurable (at ordinary rates) (“Non-Monetary Defects”), or, if the Real Property should become subject to a Monetary Defect (together with any Non-Monetary Defects, “Additional Exceptions”), Buyer may object to such Additional Exceptions by delivering to the Company an itemized written notice of Buyer’s objection to such Additional Exceptions (“Defect Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt by Buyer of the updated Endorsement, if applicable, or UCC Search or, if earlier, the Closing Date (the “Notice Period”). Additional Exceptions will not be deemed to include any Permitted Liens or Permitted Encumbrances. Buyer’s failure to deliver a Defect Notice during the Notice Period shall be deemed a waiver of Buyer’s right to object to such Defect(s), and Buyer shall then accept such title as is described in the Endorsement and UCC Search, as updated, without reserving any claim against the Company for such Defect(s); provided that such a failure shall not limit any claim that Buyer may have with respect to a breach of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(d) hereof).

(b) If Buyer provides a Defect Notice to the Company during the Notice Period, the Company shall have five (5) days after receipt of the Defect Notice within which to give written notice to Buyer as to whether the Company will elect to cure any Additional Exceptions. The Company shall be under no obligation to remove any Additional Exceptions that are not Monetary Defects (and that are not created as a consequence of a breach of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(d) hereof), and any refusal of the Company to do so shall not be a default of the Company under this Agreement. Failure to notify Buyer in writing within such period of the Company’s election shall be deemed the Company’s election not to cure any such Additional Exceptions. If the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to cure any Additional Exceptions, the Company shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Defect Notice to cure such Additional Exceptions which Company has elected to cure, and the Closing shall, if necessary, be extended accordingly. Buyer shall have five (5) business days following either receipt of the Company’s notice electing not to cure any Additional Exceptions or the date on which the Company is deemed to have elected not to cure any Additional Exceptions in which to elect (in each case, without limitation to any claim that Buyer may have with respect to a breach of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(d) hereof) either to (i) waive its objection to the Additional Exceptions that the Company does not or is deemed not to elect to cure and to proceed with Closing; or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Company and Escrow Agent. The Company shall be obligated to cure Monetary Defects in accordance with Section 13.2(c).

(c) The Company shall be obligated to cure monetary Liens encumbering the Real Property (other than any non-delinquent Taxes and assessments and any monetary Liens created or suffered by Buyer or consented to by Buyer), including financing liens or encumbrances created by, under or through or the Company or that are held by the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Monetary Defects”) in the manner provided below. In order to cure a Monetary Defect, or any Additional Exception that the Company elects to cure in accordance with this Article XIII, the Company shall have the option to extend the Closing Date for a period of thirty (30) days, by giving written notice of such extension election to Buyer and Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company may cure Monetary Defects, and any Additional Exceptions that the Company elects to cure, by any of the following methods to the extent applicable: (i) removing the Monetary Defect or applicable Additional Exceptions of

64

record; (ii) posting a bond which causes a Monetary Defect to cease to be a Lien on the Real Property; or (iii) providing indemnification to the Title Insurer against adverse final adjudication of any Monetary Defect or such Additional Exception and having the Title Insurer provide an endorsement, if applicable, which deletes such Monetary Defect or such Additional Exception as an exception to coverage.

Section 13.3 Failure to Cure Title Defects. If the Company fails to cure a Monetary Defect that it is obligated to cure in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof, or an Additional Exception that the Company had elected to cure in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof, such failure shall be a default by the Company and this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer (to be exercised by written notice to the Company given no later than the earlier of: (a) the Closing Date or (b) five (5) business days after such the Company’s notice to Buyer of such the Company’s election not to cure or attempt to cure such title defects), be terminated, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and Buyer and the Company shall be released and discharged from any further obligation to each other hereunder; provided, that if Buyer so elects, Buyer may accept such title as is tendered by the Company without a reduction in the Purchase Price or reservation of claim against the Company (but without limitation to any claim that Buyer may have with respect to a breach of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(d) hereof). Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.3 shall apply to the entire Agreement and notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.3, Buyer shall not, in any event, have a right to terminate less than all of this Agreement.

Section 13.4 Survey. Buyer agrees to accept the Real Property subject to all matters shown by the surveys described on Section 13.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Survey”). The Company shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, cause the Survey to be updated and recertified to Buyer not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing. If a recertified updated and recertified Survey reveals: (a) any material encroachments of the Real Property onto property of others; (b) any material encroachments of property of others onto the Real Property; or (c) the location of any title matter on the Real Property in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the ability to use the Real Property as presently constructed and located on the Real Property; or any other matter which would render title to the Real Property uninsurable and unmarketable, and if such matters were not revealed by the Survey, then such disclosure shall be an Additional Exception as to which the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3 hereof shall govern Buyer’s and the Company’s rights and obligations.

Section 13.5 AS IS.

This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Closing. Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter, neither Sellers, the Company, nor Buyer makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its respective Representatives or other representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to any of them or their respective representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 14.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Without the prior written consent of the other party, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by operation of Law (including by merger, consolidation or a change of control) or otherwise; provided, however, Buyer may assign any of its rights in whole or in part to one or more of Buyer’s direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries; provided, further that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void and no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 14.8 Parties of Interest. Except as set forth in ARTICLE XII hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 14.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic mail transmission and/or in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 14.10 Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. In the event that any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 14.11 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by Buyer and Sellers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Buyer and Sellers.

Section 14.12 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, Sellers and the Company by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors may, to the extent legally allowed (i) extend the time for or waive the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained here. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 7, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Penn National Gaming, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Buyer”), Caesars Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”, and together with Buyer, sometimes referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 7, 2012, by and among Buyer, Parent, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Harrah’s Maryland Heights Operating Co., a Nevada corporation, Players Maryland Heights Nevada, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and Harrah’s Maryland Heights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Buyer will purchase all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to deposit into escrow certain funds to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Parent and Buyer hereby appoint Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 2. Deposit into the Escrow Property. Buyer, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, has caused to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the sum of nine million one-hundred fifty thousand dollars ($9,150,000) in immediately available funds (the “Escrow Deposit”); provided, that, if the Outside Date is extended in two-month increments pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement, then pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall deposit an additional nine million one-hundred fifty thousand dollars ($9,150,000) (each, an “Extension Deposit”); provided, however, in certain circumstances described in Section 5.1(b)(iii) of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall deposit twenty-three million three-hundred sixty-three thousand dollars ($23,363,000) (each, an “Increased Extention Deposit”, the Increased Extension Deposit or Extenstion Deposit, as applicable, together with the Escrow Deposit, the “Escrow Funds”), in each case within three (3) business days of each such two-month extension of the Outside Date with the Escrow Agent, which Escrow Funds shall be held by the Escrow Agent upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The foregoing property and/or funds, plus all interest, dividends and other distributions and payments thereon (collectively, the “Distributions”) received by the Escrow Agent, less any property and/or funds distributed or paid in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Escrow Property”. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit the Escrow Property.

Section 3. Investment of the Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent shall follow the joint written instructions signed by an Authorized Person of the Parties to this Agreement (each a “Joint Instruction”) concerning any investment or reinvestment from time to time of the Escrow Property; provided, that, in the absence of a Joint Instruction, the Escrow Property shall remain uninvested. The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Property, upon the joint written instructions received

For internal use only

from the Parties to this Agreement, in any combination of the following: (a) Money Market Mutual Funds registered under the Investment Act of 1940; and (b) time deposits. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest the Escrow Property if deposited with the Escrow Agent after 11:00 a.m. (E.D.T.) on such day of deposit. Instructions received after 11:00 a.m. (E.D.T.) will be treated as if received on the following business day. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the Escrow Property. Any interest or other income received on such investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Property shall become part of the Escrow Property and any losses incurred on such investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Property shall be debited against the Escrow Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have the power to sell or liquidate the foregoing investments whenever the Escrow Agent shall be required to release all or any portion of the Escrow Property pursuant to Section 4 hereof. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder.

Section 4. Distribution of Escrow Property.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property in its possession until instructed hereunder to deliver the Escrow Property or any specified portion thereof in accordance with a Joint Instruction. If the Escrow Property is disbursed in accordance with a court order, the Parties shall jointly represent to the Escrow Agent that such court order is final and non-appealable.

(b) At the Closing, the Escrow Property shall be credited against the Purchase Price and the Parties shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release and distribute the Escrow Property to Parent (or its designee);

(c) Upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(e) and (g) thereof, the Escrow Property shall be distributed to Buyer; provided, however, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason other than pursuant to Section 11.1(e) and (g) thereof, the Escrow Property shall be distributed to Parent (or its designee).

Section 5. Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of all Escrow Property from the account established hereunder. The provisions of Sections 6, 8 and 9 shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

Section 6. Compensation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to a payment from Buyer of $2,500 for performance of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, as more fully set forth in the fee agreement attached as Exhibit “A” hereto, and said sum will be paid simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Parent and Buyer shall reimburse the Escrow Agent on demand for all customary fees and expenses and costs resulting from loss, liability, damage, disbursements, advances or expenses paid or incurred by it, which are paid or incurred after the Effective Date and directly in the administration of its duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges (collectively, “Costs”); provided, that, if Escrow Agent is aware that the Costs in the aggregate will exceed the sum of $10,000, that Escrow Agent will notify Parent and Buyer in writing of the nature and total of the anticipated aggregate Costs, provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not absolve Parent or Buyer of any responsibility each has under this paragraph. At all times, the Escrow

2

For internal use only

Agent will have a right of set off and first lien on the funds in the Escrow Property for payment of the Costs. The obligations contained in this Section 6 shall be joint and several obligations of Parent and Buyer, and shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. If any Costs incurred by, or any obligations owed to, the Escrow Agent or any fees owed to its counsel hereunder are not promptly paid when due, the Escrow Agent may reimburse itself therefor from the Escrow Property and may sell, liquidate, convey or otherwise dispose of any investment in respect of the Escrow Property for such purpose.

Section 7. Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of such resignation to Parent and Buyer. Parent and Buyer may jointly remove the Escrow Agent or any successor escrow agent at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Agent or successor escrow agent, as the case may be. Upon such notice, a successor escrow agent shall be appointed by Parent and Buyer, who shall provide written notice of such to the resigning Escrow Agent. Such successor escrow agent shall become the escrow agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If Parent and Buyer are unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after a decision to remove the Escrow Agent or a resignation by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief. The customary costs and expenses (including its attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid equally by Parent and Buyer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall either deliver the Escrow Property then held hereunder to the successor escrow agent, less the Escrow Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent to be paid from any interest earned in respect of the Escrow Property, or hold any interest earned in respect of the Escrow Property (or any portion thereof), pending distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or other obligations are paid. Upon its resignation and delivery of the Escrow Property as set forth in this Section 7, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the Escrow Property or this Agreement other than with respect to Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement.

Section 8. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(o), Parent and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, from and against and reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature (“Losses”), demanded, asserted or claimed against the Escrow Agent directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims against the Escrow Agent by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all reasonable costs required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs except to the extent caused by the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. As soon as practicable after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any of the other parties hereto, notify such other parties in writing. Nothing in this Section 8 shall constitute a waiver of any claim which Parent, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, may have against the other party for contributions arising from their joint obligation to hold the Escrow Agent harmless hereunder. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

Section 9. The Escrow Agent.

(a) The duties, responsibilities and obligations of Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, nor required to comply with, any other agreement to which the Parties are a party, even though reference thereto may be made herein, or to comply with any direction or instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance with this Escrow Agreement) from the Parties or an entity acting on their behalf. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder.

(b) If at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Escrow Property (including but not limited to orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrow Property), the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner it or legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate, provided that the Escrow Agent acts in good faith and gives reasonable notice thereof to the Parties; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part provided that such actions or ommissions are in good faith and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable under this Agreement (i) for acting in accordance with or conclusively relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from Parent and Buyer or any entity acting on behalf of the Parties, (ii) for any indirect, consequential, punitive or special damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated, (iii) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians in the administration of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, (iv) for the investment or reinvestment of any cash held by it hereunder, in each case in good faith, in accordance with the terms hereof, including without limitation any liability for any delays in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrow Property, or any loss of interest or income incident to any such delays, or (iv) for an amount in excess of the value of the Escrow Property, valued as of the date of deposit, but only to the extent of direct money damages.

(d) Upon five (5) business day’s written notice to Parent and Buyer, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its own choosing, at the expense of Parent and Buyer, as to any matter relating to this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for taking any action, that is consistent with its duties, obligations or responsibities hereunder, in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

(e) The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

4

For internal use only

(f) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(g) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible in any respect for the form, execution, validity, value or genuineness of documents or securities deposited hereunder, or for any description therein, or for the identity, authority or rights of persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or endorsement. The Escrow Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to the wisdom in selling or retaining or taking or refraining from any action with respect to any securities or other property deposited hereunder.

(h) The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Property held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property and shall not be required to invest any funds held hereunder except as directed in this Escrow Agreement. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

(i) At any time, the Escrow Agent may request an instruction in writing in English from Parent and Buyer and may, at its own option, include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein, provided that the specified date shall be at least five (5) business days after Parent and Buyer receive the Escrow Agent’s request for instructions and its proposed course of action, and provided further that, prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions requested.

(j) When the Escrow Agent acts on any information, instructions, communications, (including, but not limited to, communications with respect to the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds) sent by both Parent and Buyer by means of telex, facsimile, email or other form of electronic or data transmission, the Escrow Agent, absent fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of the Parties or is not in the form Parent and Buyer sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Parent and Buyer shall indemnify the Escrow Agent against any loss, liability, claim or customary expense (including legal fees and expenses) it may incur with its acting in accordance with any such communication.

(k) In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, after providing notice to Parent and Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to retain possession of the Escrow Property, unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions, signed by Parent and Buyer, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.

(l) In the event of any dispute between or conflicting claims among Parent and Buyer and any other person or entity with respect to any Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its reasonable discretion, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such Escrow Property so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to Parent or Buyer for failure or refusal to comply with

5

For internal use only

such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until, in its reasonable discretion, either (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Escrow Agent or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it may incur by reason of so acting. Any court order, judgment or decree shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party, satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, to the effect that said order, judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order, judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been filed with such court. The Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinions without further question. The Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole discretion, to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem, in its reasonable discretion, necessary. The customary costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed a joint and several obligation of, the Parent and Buyer.

(m) The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the contents of any writing of the arbitrators or any third party contemplated herein as a means to resolve disputes and may conclusively rely without any liability upon the contents thereof.

(n) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Property deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. Buyer shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Escrow Property incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. Parent and Buyer will each provide the Escrow Agent with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) form W-9 for tax identification number certification, or IRS form W-8 for foreign person certification. If such tax reporting documentation is not provided to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property. This paragraph shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Escrow Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(o) If requested by Parent or Buyer, the Escrow Agent shall provide to such party monthly statements identifying the holdings of Escrow Property.

Section 10. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and it shall stand as the final agreement unless all parties to this Agreement agree, in writing, to revise or supplement the terms of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and of any Federal Court located in the in such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying of venue. Each party further waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such person at such person’s address for purposes of notices hereunder.

Exhibit 99.1

Supplemental Discussion of the Financial Results of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc.

In January 2008, Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“Caesars Entertainment” or “Caesars”) was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP in an all-cash transaction (the “Acquisition”). A substantial portion of the financing of the Acquisition is comprised of bank and bond financing obtained by Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (for purposes of this Exhibit, “CEOC”, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” and including our subsidiaries when the context requires), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment. This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that own properties that are secured under $4,829.1 million face value of commercial mortgage-backed securities financing. Therefore, we believe it is meaningful to provide information pertaining solely to the consolidated financial position and results of operations of CEOC and its subsidiaries.

REGIONAL AGGREGATION

The executive officers of the Company review operating results, assess performance and make decisions related to the allocation of resources on a property-by-property basis. We believe, therefore, that each property is an operating segment and that it is appropriate to aggregate and present the operations of the Company as one reportable segment. To provide more meaningful information than would be possible on a consolidated basis, the Company’s casino properties (as of June 30, 2012 or otherwise noted below), have been grouped into seven regions as shown in the table below to facilitate discussion of the Company’s operating results.

In May 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Harrah’s St. Louis casino to Penn National Gaming, Inc. for a purchase price of $610.0 million. The sale is expected to close in the second half of 2012 and the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations. As a result of the transaction, the assets and liabilities of the Harrah’s St. Louis casino that are included in the sale are classified as held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The results of the Harrah’s St. Louis casino are presented as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and are no longer included in the Iowa/Missouri region results.

Quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $1,610.2 million, down $40.1 million, or 2.4%, from the year-earlier period, mainly resulting from lower casino revenues in several U.S. regions, primarily Atlantic City, partially offset by higher food and beverage and rooms revenues. Casino revenues in the second quarter of 2012 have deteriorated from the first quarter of 2012 due to a softening of economic conditions which has negatively impacted the Company’s results.

For the second quarter of 2012, income from operations decreased $148.1 million, or 80.3%, to $36.4 million from $184.5 million in the prior-year quarter, due mainly to non-cash impairment charges of $101.0 million related to the Macau land concession and $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles. Also affecting income from operations was the income impact of lower revenues during the quarter, and higher depreciation expense in the Las Vegas region associated with the 662-room Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace that opened to the public in January 2012.

Net loss attributable to CEOC for the second quarter of 2012 was $278.7 million, up $99.5 million, or 55.5%, from the second quarter of 2011. Higher net losses in the second quarter of 2012 reflect the decrease in income from operations described above, largely offset by lower interest expense.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $3,288.5 million, down $7.0 million, or 0.2%, from the year-earlier period and reflect a decline in casino revenues, primarily in the Atlantic City region, and Other Nevada regions, partially offset by higher revenues mostly in the Las Vegas and Louisiana/Mississippi regions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, income from operations decreased $309.7 million, or 88.1%, to $41.7 million from $351.4 million in the year-ago period. This decrease was mainly attributable to the impairments recognized in the second quarter of 2012, discussed above, as well as a $167.5 million non-cash impairment related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi. Also contributing to the decrease in income from operations was higher depreciation expense associated with the Octavius Tower and higher corporate expense. The decrease to income from operations from 2011 was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $22 million in property tax expense due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City and other cost reductions achieved as part of Project Renewal and other cost-savings initiatives.

Net loss attributable to CEOC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $607.6 million, up $254.9 million, or 72.3%, from the same period in 2011 and reflects the decrease in income from operations described above and higher interest expense. See “Other Factors Affecting Net Income” below for further discussion of the Company’s interest expense.

Performance Metrics

The Company measures its performance in part through tracking of trips by rated customers, which means a customer whose gaming activity is tracked through its Total Rewards customer-loyalty system (“trips”), and by spend per rated customer trip (“spend per trip”). A trip is created by a Total Rewards card holder engaging in one or more of the following activities while at one of the Company’s properties: (1) hotel stay, (2) gaming activity, or (3) a comp redemption, which means the receipt of a complimentary item given out by the Company’s casinos. In markets where we have multiple properties, customers often engage in trip generating activities at more than one property in a day. In these instances, we consider the market as a whole and do not count multiple trips. Customer spend means the cumulative rated theoretical spend (which is the amount of money expected to be retained by the casino based upon the mathematics underlying the particular game as a fraction of the amount of money wagered by the customer) across all game types for a specific customer. For the Atlantic City region, the Company refers to customers that stay at a hotel in one of its properties as lodgers and customers that may play at a casino located in one of its properties but do not stay at a hotel at such property as non-lodgers.

The following table reflects the percentage increase/(decrease) in trips and spend per trip for the U.S. regions for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the same periods in 2011.

	Quarter Ended June 30, 2012						Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
	Trips			Spend per Trip			Trips			Spend per Trip
Consolidated CEOC		(2.1	)%		(0.6	)%		(0.9	)%		(0.1	)%
Las Vegas region		(2.8	)%		4.4	%		0.8	%		3.8	%
Atlantic City region:
Lodgers		(12.7	)%		2.5	%		(8.9	)%		1.8	%
Non-lodgers		(8.0	)%		(0.4	)%		(4.2	)%		1.6	%
All other regions		1.8	%		(2.2	)%		0.9	%		(2.3	)%

On a consolidated basis, in 2012 compared to 2011, trips in the second quarter decreased 2.1% and decreased 0.9% in the six-month period. Trip increases were reflected in several of the U.S. regions in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011; however, they were unable to offset the declines in the Atlantic City region overall. The declines in spend per trip were led by the VIP segment, with the retail segment showing gains in some regions.

On a consolidated basis, in 2012 compared to 2011, second quarter cash average daily room rates increased from $97 to $101, and increased from $97 to $100 in the six-month period. Total occupancy percentage remained flat in the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Second-quarter net revenues in the Las Vegas region decreased slightly from 2011 as increased rooms revenues attributable to the additional rooms resulting from the January 2012 opening of the Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace were unable to offset declines in casino and other revenues. Spend per trip was up 4.4% but trips declined 2.8%. Hotel revenues in the region increased 6.6%, as cash average daily room rates increased 5.8% to $104 from $99, which was partially offset by a decrease in total occupancy percentages of 3.9 percentage points for the second quarter of 2012 from 2011. Income

7

from operations decreased for the second quarter of 2012 due mainly to increases in property operating expenses and depreciation expense mainly associated with the Octavius Tower. Results in the region were also negatively impacted by the Linq construction activities, which the Company estimates to have reduced net revenues by approximately $4 million to $6 million and reduced income from operations by approximately $3 million to $5 million.

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 in the Las Vegas region increased $28.0 million, or 3.5%, from 2011, due primarily to strength in the international, high-end gaming segment in the first quarter of 2012 and to increased rooms revenues partially resulting from the January 2012 opening of the Octavius Tower. Trips and spend per trip increased by 0.8% and 3.8%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011. Hotel revenues in the region increased 6.7% due in part to the 662 additional Octavius Tower rooms, cash average daily room rates increased 3.5% to $104 from $100, partially offset by total occupancy percentages which decreased 3.1 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011. Income from operations decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due mainly to increases in property operating expenses that offset higher revenues and the additional depreciation expense associated with the Octavius Tower. The results in the region were also negatively impacted by construction on the Linq as described above.

During 2011, we commenced construction on Project Linq, a dining, entertainment, and retail development between our Flamingo and Imperial Palace casinos, on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip, which is scheduled to open in phases in the second half of 2013. Project Linq includes the construction of a 550-foot observation wheel, the High Roller, which is expected to open in the first quarter of 2014. Through June 30, 2012, $100.9 million had been spent on this project, of which $48.1 million was spent in 2012.

Net revenues for the second quarter 2012 in the Atlantic City region were down $35.1 million, or 9.8%, from 2011, due mainly to lower casino revenues caused in part by a decline in trips. Trips by lodgers and non-lodgers declined 12.7% and 8.0%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011 due mainly to new competition in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions; however, spend per trip metrics for lodger increased 2.5% and non-lodger remained flat compared with the prior year. The Company expects the market to continue to be challenged by local and regional competition in future quarters. Income from operations was down in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 due mainly to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense of approximately $6 million due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City.

In the six months ended June 30, 2012, net revenues declined from 2011 by $53.0 million, or 7.7% due largely to trip declines in both the lodger and non-lodger segments. Spend per trip rose in both the lodger and non-lodger segments in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011. Income from operations was down due mainly to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense of approximately $22 million due to lower property tax assessments in Atlantic City.

Second-quarter 2012 net revenues in the Louisiana/Mississippi region increased slightly from 2011, due to last year’s flood related closures at three properties. There were increases in casino, food and beverage, and rooms revenues due mainly to a rise in trips; however spend per trip was down. Income from operations was lower in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011 due mainly to increased property operating expenses which more than offset the higher revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net revenues in the region increased $23.5 million, or 4.2%, from 2011. A rise in trips with a slight decline in spend per trip attributed to increases in casino, food and beverage and other revenues. Loss from operations was $88.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with income from operations of $70.6 million in 2011 due mainly to a $172.0 million charge in the first quarter of 2012, of which $167.5 million was a non-cash impairment related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi, partially offset by the income impact of higher revenues.

Iowa/Missouri Region

The following results exclude Harrah’s St. Louis casino which has been classified as a Discontinued Operation in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 as a result of the pending sale of this property.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 in the Iowa/Missouri region decreased $2.7 million, or 2.3%, from 2011 due mainly to a decline in casino revenues resulting from fewer trips partly attributable to increased competition in the region; however, spend per trip increased. Income from operations increased for the second quarter of 2012 from 2011, due to a decrease in property operating expenses, partially offset by lower revenues.

Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $1.4 million, or 0.6%. Trips declined compared to the prior year period while spend per trip increased. Income from operations increased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011 due to higher revenues and reduced property operating expenses.

Second-quarter 2012 net revenues in the Illinois/Indiana region decreased $2.7 million, or 1.0%, from 2011, largely due to a decline in casino revenues attributable in part to new competition in the region beginning in the third quarter of 2011. The decline was partially offset by the comparative impact of the flood-related property closures in the second quarter of 2011. While trips rose slightly in 2012 compared to 2011 there was a decline in spend per trip. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2012 increased $2.3 million, or 5.7%, from the same period in 2011 due mainly to reduced property operating expenses, lower depreciation expense and a decrease in write-downs, reserves, and project opening costs, net of recoveries.

Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $6.7 million, or 1.2%, from 2011, due to declines in casino revenues. Trips were negatively impacted by a bridge closure which began in the first week of September 2011 through reopening in February 2012, and new competition, but rose slightly when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Spend per trip also declined compared to 2011. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011 increased slightly due mainly to reduced property operating expenses that were able to offset revenue declines.

Second-quarter 2012 net revenues decreased $7.5 million, or 10.4%, from the same period in 2011 due mainly to a decline in casino revenues. Trips to the properties in the region increased; however, there was decline in spend per trip. Income from operations was down due mainly to lower revenues, partially offset by reduced property operating expenses.

Net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $15.3 million, or 10.8%, from 2011 due to a decline in casino revenues. Income from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was down due to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by reduced property operating expenses.

Managed, International, and Other

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 for Managed, International, and Other increased slightly from 2011. Loss from operations increased $115.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 from 2011, due mainly to non-cash impairment charges, including $101.0 million related to the Macau land concession and $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles, partially offset by reduced operating expenses.

In the six months ended June 30, 2012, net revenues for Managed, International, and Other increased $15.1 million, or 4.7%, from 2011 due mainly to increased revenues at our London Clubs properties. Loss from operations increased $121.4 million, or 362.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011, mainly due to the impairment charges described above.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Capitalized

Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, decreased by $24.9 million, or 5.0% in the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to mark-to-market gains on derivatives of $17.6 million in 2012 compared with losses of $22.7 million in 2011, partially offset by higher debt balances compared with the year ago quarter. Interest expense net of interest capitalized, increased by $59.3 million, or 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2011, due primarily to higher debt balances compared to the year-ago period, and the write off of deferred financing costs and debt discounts associated with debt transactions completed in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense is reported net of interest capitalized of $9.1 million and $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively and $17.9 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest capitalized in 2012 is primarily related to the Linq project in Las Vegas.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cost Savings Initiatives

Caesars Entertainment has undertaken comprehensive cost-reduction efforts to rightsize expenses with business levels through its implementation of “Project Renewal,” an initiative designed to reinvent certain aspects of Caesars’ functional and operating units to gain significant further cost reductions and streamline its operations. As a part of Project Renewal, Caesars designed a shared-services organization that will enable more efficient decision making and sharing of best practices. Caesars anticipates that it will have a permanently lower cost structure and will benefit from greater concentration of specified talent and quicker decision making.

In accordance with our shared-services agreement with Caesars Entertainment, we estimate that Project Renewal and other cost-savings programs produced $29.8 million and $59.2 million, in incremental cost savings for the second quarter and six months of 2012, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2011. Additionally, as of June 30, 2012, these cost-savings programs will produce additional annual cost savings of $103.0 million, based on the full impact of current projects that are in process. As we firm up cost reduction activities, this figure could change.

Capital Spending and Development

In January 2012, we received notice that the minority owners of Chester Downs and Marina, LLC (“Chester Downs”) elected to exercise their put rights thereby requiring us to purchase from the minority owners 90% of their interest in Chester Downs for consideration of $9.6 million. We consummated this purchase on February 14, 2012. As a result, we now have a 99.5% ownership interest in this property.

We incur capital expenditures in the normal course of business, and we perform ongoing refurbishment and maintenance at our existing casino entertainment facilities, to maintain our quality standards. We also continue to pursue development and acquisition opportunities for additional casino entertainment and other hospitality facilities that meet our strategic and return on investment criteria.

Our planned development projects, if they go forward, will require, individually and in the aggregate, significant capital commitments and, if completed, may result in significant additional revenues. The commitment of capital, the timing of completion, and the commencement of operations of development projects are contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of final agreements and receipt of approvals from the appropriate political and regulatory bodies. We must also comply with covenants and restrictions set forth in our debt agreements.

Our capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $159.6 million, which includes an increase of $26.2 million of construction payables. Estimated total capital expenditures for 2012, including 2012 expenditures associated with Project Linq, are expected to be between $540.0 million and $580.0 million.

Cash used for capital expenditures in the normal course of business is typically made available from cash flows generated by our operating activities and established debt programs, while cash used for development projects, including projects currently under development as well as additional projects being pursued, is typically funded from established debt programs, specific project financing, and additional debt offerings. As a result of the sale of Harrah’s St. Louis, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, totaled $657.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $600.0 million at December 31, 2011. Restricted cash, including $20.7 million included in prepayments and other current assets, totaled $283.8 million at June 30, 2012. Nearly all of the restricted cash consists of cash reserved under loan agreements for development projects and certain expenditures incurred in the normal course of business, such as interest service, real estate taxes, property insurance, and capital improvements. The net proceeds generated from the sale of Harrah’s St. Louis will be utilized to fund our capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations. Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities associated with Harrah’s St. Louis, which is defined as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, are included in our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

12

We are a highly leveraged company and a substantial portion of our operating cash flows are used to fund debt service. As of June 30, 2012, we had $16,444.9 million book value of indebtedness outstanding, including capital lease indebtedness. Cash paid for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $803.8 million. Payments of short-term debt obligations and other commitments are expected to be made from operating cash flows and from borrowings under our established debt programs. Our operating cash inflows are typically used for operating expenses, debt service costs, working capital needs, and capital expenditures in the normal course of business. Long-term obligations are expected to be paid through operating cash flows, refinancing of debt, or, if necessary, additional debt or equity offerings.

In addition to cash flows from operations, available sources of cash include amounts available under our current revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2012, our additional borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $982.3 million.

In recent years, we have not been generating sufficient operating cash flows to fund our investing activities, requiring us to fund our investments with additional financing. Our ability to fund our operations and pay our debt and debt service obligations depends, in part, upon economic and other factors that are beyond our control, and disruptions in capital markets and restrictive covenants related to our existing debt could impact our ability to secure additional funds through financing activities.

Debt Covenant Compliance

Certain of our borrowings have covenants and requirements that include, among other things, the maintenance of specific levels of financial ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions. Specifically, our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio of no more than 4.75 to 1.0, which is the ratio of senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted. This ratio excludes up to $2,200.0 million of first priority senior secured notes and up to $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not wholly owned. This ratio also reduces the amount of senior first priority secured debt by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. As of June 30, 2012, our senior secured leverage ratio was 4.30 to 1.0.

We are in compliance with our senior secured credit facilities and indentures, including the senior secured leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2012. In order to comply with the quarterly senior secured leverage ratio in the future, the Company will need to achieve a certain amount of Adjusted EBITDA - Pro- Forma - CEOC Restricted and / or reduced levels of total senior secured net debt (total senior secured debt less unrestricted cash). The factors that could impact the foregoing include (a) changes in gaming trips, spend per trip and hotel metrics, which are correlated to a consumer recovery, (b) ability to effect cost-savings initiatives, (c) asset sales, (d) issuing additional second lien or unsecured debt, or project financing, (e) equity financings, (f) delays in development project spending, or (g) a combination thereof. In addition, under certain circumstances, our senior secured credit facilities allow us to apply cash contributions received as an increase to Adjusted EBITDA if we are unable to meet our Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. However, there is no guarantee that such contributions will be forthcoming.

Based upon the Company’s current operating forecast, as well as our ability to achieve one or more of the factors noted above, the Company believes that it will continue to be in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio and meet its cash flow needs during the next twelve months. If the Company was unable to maintain compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio and the Company failed to remedy a default pursuant to the terms of its senior secured credit facilities, there would be an “event of default” under the senior secured credit agreement. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that we will be successful in sales of assets, or that future borrowings will be available to us, to fund our liquidity needs and pay our indebtedness when due. If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs or pay our indebtedness when it is due, we may be required to further reduce expenses, sell additional assets, or attempt to restructure our debt. Any such actions could negatively impact our competitive position and revenue generation. In addition, we have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under certain of our debt agreements, and, if any of those lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.

In addition, other covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities and indentures covering our second priority senior secured notes and first priority senior secured notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio (LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted to fixed charges) of at least 2.0 to 1.0, a total first priority secured leverage ratio (first priority senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 4.5 to 1.0 and/or a consolidated leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 7.25 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2012, our total first priority secured leverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio were 6.05 to 1.0 and 12.02 to 1.0,

13

respectively. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $614.8 million. For purposes of calculating the fixed charge coverage ratio, fixed charges includes consolidated interest expense less interest income and any cash dividends paid on preferred stock (other than amounts eliminated in consolidation). For purposes of calculating the total first priority secured leverage ratio and the consolidated leverage ratio, the amounts of first priority senior secured debt and consolidated total debt, respectively, are reduced by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. The covenants that provide for the fixed charge coverage ratio, total first priority secured leverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio described in this paragraph are not maintenance covenants.

Our current maturities of debt include required interim principal payments on certain Term Loans, the special improvement district bonds, and capitalized lease obligations.

Caesars Entertainment Corporation established a revolving credit facility in favor of CEOC pursuant to which Caesars Entertainment will make one or more unsecured loans to CEOC in a maximum principal amount not to exceed $750.0 million outstanding at any time. The entire outstanding amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, matures on January 29, 2014, and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR, as defined in the CEOC Credit Agreement, plus 3.0%. Interest is payable annually in arrears or, at CEOC’s election such interest may be added to the loan balance owed to Caesars Entertainment. There was $322.1 million outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 2011. As a result of net borrowings of $153.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, there is $475.6 million outstanding under the agreement at June 30, 2012.

Credit Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) entered into the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In May 2011, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things: (i) allow CEOC to buy back loans from individual lenders at negotiated prices at any time, which may be less than par, (ii) allow CEOC to extend the maturity of term loans or revolving commitments, as applicable, and for CEOC to otherwise modify the terms of loans or revolving commitments in connection with such an extension, and (iii) modify certain other provisions of the credit facilities. CEOC also extended its Credit Facilities by (i) converting $799.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders to B-5 term loans with an extended maturity date of January 28, 2018 and a higher interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Extended Term Loans”) and (ii) converting $423.3 million of revolver commitments held by consenting lenders into Extended Term Loans.

In March 2012, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of $2,731.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders from January 28, 2015 to January 28, 2018 and increase the interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Term B-6 Loans”); (ii) convert $82.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments held by consenting lenders to Term B-6 Loans and promptly following such conversion, repay $1,095.6 million of B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-6 term loans; (iii) extend the maturity of $25.0 million original maturity revolver commitments from January 28, 2014 to January 28, 2017 and increase the interest rate and the undrawn commitment fee with respect to such extended revolver commitments and terminate $6.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments; and (iv) modify certain other provisions of the Credit Facilities. In addition to the foregoing, CEOC may elect to extend and/or convert additional term loans and/or revolver commitments from time to time.

During the second quarter of 2012, CEOC extended the maturity on an additional $123.5 million of B-1, B-2, and B-3 term loans and converted another $38.0 million of original maturity revolver commitments to Term B-6 Loans.

As of June 30, 2012, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $7,300.5 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $6,220.3 million comprised of $1,987.0 million maturing on January 28, 2015, $975.0 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and $3,258.3 million maturing on January 28, 2018 and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,080.2 million, with $1,055.2 million maturing January 28, 2014 and $25.0 million maturing on January 28, 2017, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $3.8 million, with the balance due at maturity. As of June 30, 2012, $97.9 million of the revolving credit facility is committed to outstanding letters of credit. After consideration of the letter of credit commitments, $982.3 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

Other Financing Transactions

In February 2012, Chester Downs issued $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2020 through a private placement. Chester Downs used $232.4 million of the proceeds of the notes to repay its existing term loan plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty. The remaining proceeds were used to make a distribution to Chester Downs’ managing member, Harrah’s Chester Downs Investment Company, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEOC, and for other general corporate purposes.

In February 2012, Caesars Operating Escrow LLC and Caesars Escrow Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of CEOC, completed the offering of $1,250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020, the proceeds of which were placed into escrow. On March 1, 2012, the escrow conditions were satisfied and CEOC assumed the notes. CEOC used $1,095.6 million of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay a portion of its senior secured term loans under the Credit Facilities in connection with the March 2012 amendment discussed above.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of June 30, 2012 we have entered into eight interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $5,750.0 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:

Effective Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Paid			Variable Rate Received as of June 30, 2012			Next Reset Date		Maturity Date
	(in millions)
April 25, 2011	$	250.0		1.351	%		0.245	%		July 25, 2012		January 25, 2015

April 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.264	%		0.245	%		July 25, 2012		January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.814	%		0.245	%		July 25, 2012		January 25, 2015

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the July 25, 2012 reset.

On January 18, 2012, the Company amended the terms of three $1,000.0 million notional value of interest rate swap contracts with a corresponding change in the elected interest rate on $3,000.0 million of term loans under the Credit Facilities. Effective January 25, 2012 through January 25, 2014, the variable rate received on the swaps changed from three-month to one-month LIBOR and the fixed payment rate was reduced by 16.5 basis points. The table above reflects the amended payment rates.

Derivative Instruments - Other

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a $33.2 million written put option (the “Option”) for certain preferred equity interests. The potential future aggregate cash payments of $33.2 million related to the Option may occur from time to time. Based on the structure of this security as a written put option, the obligation for these potential cash payments is not reflected in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Option is recorded in our consolidated condensed balance sheets at its fair value, which was $0 as of June 30, 2012.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from AOCL, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 by approximately $42.2 million and $84.0 million, and $50.8 million, and $117.3 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2012, our variable-rate debt, excluding $5,750.0 million of variable-rate debt hedged using interest rate swap agreements, represents 10% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is 90% of our total debt.

GUARANTEES OF THIRD-PARTY DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in the “Capital Resources” section of this Exhibit 99.1. At June 30, 2012, our estimated interest payments for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2016 are $845.4 million, $1,678.1 million, $1,641.7 million, $1,416.6 million and $1,258.9 million, respectively, and our estimated interest payments thereafter are $1,799.9 million.

As of June 30, 2012, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations, which were disclosed in the Supplemental Discussion of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company Results filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

EXHIBIT 99.2

Supplemental Discussion of the Financial Results of Caesars Entertainment’s Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Related Properties

The properties securing Caesars Entertainment’s commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS Properties”) originally borrowed $6,500.0 million of CMBS financing (the “CMBS Financing”). The CMBS Financing is secured by the assets of the CMBS Properties and certain aspects of the financing are guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment (“Caesars”). The CMBS properties are Harrah’s Las Vegas, Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah’s Atlantic City, Paris Las Vegas, and Harrah’s Laughlin.

In this discussion, the words “we” and “our” refer to the CMBS Properties. We are providing this financial information pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “CMBS Loan Agreement”), related to the CMBS Financing.

Subsequent to the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, including Exhibit 99.2 thereto, we identified certain deferred tax gains primarily related to the contribution of O’Shea’s Casino and certain other assets to a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. in connection with their development of a retail, dining and entertainment corridor located between the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino and the Flamingo Las Vegas on the Las Vegas strip. The net impact on the financial statements included herein of correcting for this error is to reduce our deferred tax liabilities and increase our stockholder’s equity by $22.8 million as of December 31, 2011. There are no cash impacts as a result of this correction.

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $516.5 million, down $10.0 million, or 1.9%, from the year-earlier period. The decrease in net revenues is due mainly to a decline in casino revenues at properties in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1,021.7 million, up $10.0 million, or 1.0%, from the year-earlier period due mainly to higher food & beverage revenues at the Atlantic City property and higher rooms revenues at the properties in Las Vegas.

For the second quarter of 2012, income from operations decreased $2.7 million, or 4.2%, to $62.0 million from $64.7 million in the year-ago second quarter due mainly to the income impact of lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in corporate expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, income from operations rose $3.8 million, or 3.6%, to $108.5 million from $104.7 million in the year-ago period due mainly to the income impact of higher revenues, higher income from non-consolidated affiliates and a decrease in corporate expense.

Results were also negatively impacted by the Linq construction activities, which are estimated to have reduced net revenues by approximately $6 million to $9 million and reduced income from operations by approximately $3 million to $5 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $29.2 million, up $11.6 million, or 65.9%, from the second quarter of 2011 due primarily to an increase in gains on early extinguishments of debt, partially offset by the decline in income from operations. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $55.0 million, up $25.4 million, or 85.8%, from the six months ended June 30, 2011 due primarily to the increase in income from operations and gains on early extinguishments of debt.

Gains on early extinguishments of debt during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 relate to amounts recognized as a result of purchase and sale agreements with certain lenders to acquire mezzanine loans under the CMBS Financing. These events are discussed more fully in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” that follows herein.

Other Items

In August 2011, we contributed the O’Sheas casino (adjacent to the Flamingo Las Vegas) and other assets to a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. A portion of the contributed assets were leased back by a CMBS Property. In May 2012, O’Sheas ceased operations and the lease-back agreement expired. As a result of the expiration of the agreement, $86.2 million of land assets are no longer included as assets of the CMBS Properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cost Savings Initiatives

Caesars Entertainment has undertaken comprehensive cost-reduction efforts to rightsize expenses with business levels through its implementation of “Project Renewal,” an initiative designed to reinvent certain aspects of Caesars’ functional and operating units to gain significant cost reductions and streamline its operations. As part of Project Renewal, Caesars designed a shared-services organization that will enable more efficient decision making and sharing of best practices. Caesars anticipates that it will have a permanently lower cost structure and will benefit from greater concentration of specified talent and quicker decision making.

In accordance with our shared-services agreement with Caesars Entertainment, we estimate that Project Renewal and other cost-savings programs produced $12.8 million and $25.4 million in incremental cost savings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 when compared to the same periods of 2011. Additionally, as of June 30, 2012, these cost-savings programs will produce additional annual cost savings of $44.2 million, based on the full implementation of current projects that are in process. As we firm up cost reduction activities, this figure could change.

Capital Spending and Development

We incur capital expenditures in the normal course of business and we perform ongoing refurbishment and maintenance at our existing casino entertainment facilities to maintain our quality standards. We also continue to pursue development and acquisition opportunities for additional casino entertainment and other hospitality facilities that meet our strategic and return on investment criteria.

Our planned development projects, if they go forward, will require, individually and in the aggregate, significant capital commitments and, if completed, may result in significant additional revenues. The commitment of capital, the timing of completion, and the commencement of operations of development projects are contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of final agreements and receipt of approvals from the appropriate political and regulatory bodies. We must also comply with covenants and restrictions set forth in the CMBS Loan Agreement.

Our capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $29.6 million, including a increase of $1.3 million of construction payables. Estimated total capital expenditures for 2012 are expected to be between $50.0 million and $60.0 million.

Cash used for capital expenditures in the normal course of business is typically made available from cash flows generated by our operating activities while cash used for future development projects may be funded from established debt programs, specific project financing, or additional debt offerings.

Liquidity

Our cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, totaled $205.8 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $151.2 million at December 31, 2011. Restricted cash, including $36.4 million included in prepayments and other current assets, totaled $119.5 million at June 30, 2012. Nearly all of the restricted cash consists of cash reserved under loan agreements for development projects and certain expenditures incurred in the normal course of business, such as interest service, real estate taxes, property insurance, and capital improvements.

The CMBS Properties are highly leveraged and a significant amount of our liquidity needs are for debt service. As of June 30, 2012, we had $4,824.6 million book value of indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $81.9 million.

Our operating cash inflows are used for operating expenses, debt service costs, working capital needs, and capital expenditures in the normal course of business. From time to time, we retire portions of our outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, using available cash on hand or established debt programs. From time to time, we distribute excess cash flow to Caesars Entertainment. The amount of excess cash flow that may be distributed is limited to 85% of excess cash flow with respect to such quarter, as defined in the CMBS Loan Agreement.

Our ability to fund our operations, pay our debt obligations, and fund planned capital expenditures depends, in part, upon economic and other factors that are beyond our control, and disruptions in capital markets and restrictive covenants related to our existing debt could impact our ability to secure additional funds through financing activities. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance and our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements during the next 12 months and to fund capital expenditures.

6

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us, to fund our liquidity needs and pay our indebtedness. If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs or pay our indebtedness when it is due, we may have to reduce or delay refurbishment and expansion projects, reduce expenses, sell assets, or attempt to restructure our debt. Any such actions could negatively impact our competitive position and revenue generation. In addition, we have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under certain of our debt agreements, and, if any of those lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.

Capital Resources

In January 2012, we purchased $2.0 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $1.0 million, recognizing a gain of $1.0 million, net of deferred finance charges. In March 2012, we purchased $116.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $70.8 million, recognizing a gain of $44.8 million, net of deferred finance charges. In April 2012, we purchased $83.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $50.2 million, recognizing a gain of $32.7 million, net of deferred finance charges.

Derivative Instruments

We have an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the CMBS Financing. The CMBS interest rate cap agreement, which was effective in January 2008 and terminates February 13, 2013, is for a notional amount of $6,500.0 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. We are amortizing deferred losses from the interest rate cap frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) into income over the original remaining term of the hedge forecasted transactions that are still probable of occurring. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $5.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively, as an increase to interest expense, and we will record an additional $13.9 million as an increase to interest expense and AOCL through the termination date, all related to deferred losses on the interest rate cap. At June 30, 2012, $4,650.2 million of the interest rate cap was designated a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate cap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

The hedging relationship between the CMBS Financing and the interest rate cap has remained effective subsequent to each debt extinguishment. In connection with the extinguishments, we reclassified deferred losses out of AOCL and into interest expense associated with the hedge for which the forecasted future transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

GUARANTEES OF THIRD-PARTY DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are discussed in the “Capital Resources” section of this Exhibit 99.2. As of June 30, 2012, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in the Supplemental Discussion of Caesars Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Related Properties filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Interest capitalized was $9.2 million and $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $18.0 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest capitalized in 2012 was primarily related to the Linq project in Las Vegas.

In March 2012, we recorded an impairment of $167.5 million on tangible assets related to a previously halted development project in Biloxi, Mississippi that was included in construction in progress. During the second quarter of 2012, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will divest of our investment in a land concession in Macau prior to the end of the remaining 35-year term of the concession. As a result, we performed an impairment assessment on this investment and recorded an impairment charge of $101.0 million.

Depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization, corporate expense, and income from discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive loss, is as follows:

Acquisitions and Investments

Chester Downs

In January 2012, we received notice that the minority owners of Chester Downs and Marina, LLC (“Chester Downs”) elected to exercise their put rights thereby requiring us to purchase from the minority owners 90% of their interest in Chester Downs for consideration of $9.6 million. We consummated this purchase on February 14, 2012. As a result, we now have a 99.5% ownership interest in this property.

Windsor Casino Limited

In June 2012, Windsor Casino Limited (“WCL”) redeemed and canceled all of the WCL shares held by HPP International Corporation (a Hilton affiliate), an unrelated third party, representing 50% of WCL’s equity, for $8.7 million. The redemption of the shares increased Caesars’ ownership interest to 100%. The results of WCL for the periods subsequent to the transaction are consolidated with our results of operations. Prior to June 2012, we had a 50% ownership interest in WCL that was accounted for under the equity method. WCL operates Caesars Windsor located in Windsor, Ontario, and the province of Ontario owns the complex.

Dispositions

Harrah’s St. Louis

In May 2012, the Company, along with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into an equity interest purchase agreement with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) whereby the Company is selling its Harrah’s St. Louis casino to Penn for a purchase price of $610.0 million subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals. The sale is expected to close in the second half of 2012. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to fund Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) capital expenditures or to repurchase certain outstanding debt obligations of CEOC.

All assets and liabilities included in the purchase agreement have been classified as held for sale in our consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as follows:

Option Exchange

On July 23, 2012, certain committees of our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting common stock approved a one-time stock option exchange program to permit the Company to cancel certain options to purchase stock of Caesars Entertainment held by some of our employees, service providers and directors (the “Eligible Options”), in exchange for new, or replacement, options (the “Option Exchange”). They also approved an amendment to the Caesars Entertainment Corporation 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to which stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted during any calendar year to any individual under the 2012 Plan from 3,433,509 shares to 6,500,000 shares.

As a result of the Option Exchange, assuming all eligible options are exchanged, we will incur approximately $16 million in additional compensation expense attributable to the incremental fair value of the replacement options granted to eligible participants in exchange for surrendered Eligible Options, measured as of the date such awards are granted, of which approximately $3 million will be recorded in the third quarter of 2012, upon consummation of the exchange. The unamortized compensation expense from the surrendered Eligible Options and any incremental compensation expense associated with the replacement options under the Option Exchange will be recognized over the expected life of the new awards. Including the impact of the incremental expense, assuming all eligible options are exchanged, we will recognize a total non-cash charge of approximately $63 million over the vesting period of the replacement options of Caesars Entertainment.

Baltimore, Maryland VLT License

On July 31, 2012, the State of Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission granted a license to operate a video lottery terminal (VLT) facility in downtown Baltimore to CBAC Gaming, LLC (“CBAC Gaming”), the investment group led by Caesars and Rock.

CBAC Gaming plans to invest more than $300 million to develop Harrah’s Baltimore. In addition to 3,750 VLTs, the property will offer multiple food and beverage amenities, including a fine dining steakhouse and signature casual dining restaurants. The process of obtaining necessary permits and arranging logistics will commence immediately. Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2013, with an opening targeted in the second quarter of 2014.

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

As of June 30, 2012, we owned, operated, or managed, through various subsidiaries, 53 casinos in 13 U.S. states and seven countries. The majority of these casinos operate in the United States and England, primarily under the Caesars, Harrah’s, and Horseshoe brand names in the U.S. Our casino entertainment facilities include 34 land-based casinos, 12 riverboat or dockside casinos, three managed casinos on Indian lands in the U.S., one managed casino in Canada, one casino combined with a greyhound racetrack, one casino combined with a thoroughbred racetrack, and one casino combined with a harness racetrack. Our 34 land-based casinos include one in Uruguay, nine in England, one in Scotland, two in Egypt, and one in South Africa. We view each casino property as an operating segment and aggregate all such casino properties into one reportable segment.

On January 28, 2008, Caesars Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and affiliates of TPG Capital, LP (together with such affiliates, “TPG” and, together with Apollo, the “Sponsors”) in an all-cash transaction (“the Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition and through February 7, 2012, our stock was not publicly traded.

Effective February 8, 2012, as the result of the Company’s initial public offering, our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “CZR.” In connection with the public offering, the Company effected a 1.742-for-one split of its common stock. All applicable share and per-share data presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this stock split. See Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share,” for further information.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable for interim periods and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The results for the interim periods reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire 2012 fiscal year. The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from our audited consolidated condensed financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2011 10-K”) which has been recast to reflect the assets and liabilities of Harrah’s St. Louis casino as held for sale as further described in Note 2, “Acquisitions, Investments and Dispositions.” The information included in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q (the “10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated condensed financial statements in the 2011 10-K. We have recast certain amounts for prior periods to conform to our 2012 presentation.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table shows the fair value of our financial assets and financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

(In millions)	Balance			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3

Liabilities:
Derivative instruments		(336.1	)		—		(336.1	)		—

* Amount rounds to zero

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to estimate or measure fair value, key inputs, and significant assumptions:

Investments – Investments consist of debt and equity securities with maturity dates greater than 90 days at the date of the security’s acquisition. The majority of these securities are traded in active markets, have readily determined market values, and use Level 1 inputs. Securities for which there are not active markets or the market values are not readily determinable are valued using Level 2 inputs. All of these investments are included in either prepayments and other current assets or deferred charges and other in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The fair value of investments in marketable securities were as follows:

(In millions)	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Corporate bonds	$	1.5	$	1.5
Equity securities		2.7		2.4
Government bonds		108.3		102.5
Other liquid investments		2.0		2.0
Total investments	$	114.5	$	108.4

Gross unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were not material.

Derivative instruments – The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are derived from market prices obtained from dealer quotes for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Derivative instruments are included in either deferred charges and other, or deferred credits and other, in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. Our derivatives are recorded at their fair values, adjusted for the credit rating of the counterparty if the derivative is an asset, or adjusted for the credit rating of the Company if the derivative is a liability. See Note 6, “Derivative Instruments,” for more information.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The following table shows the fair value of our assets that are required to be measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and the total impairment recorded on these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2012:

Intangible and Tangible Assets – Market and income approaches were used to value the intangible and tangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB Codification Subtopic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, and Subtopic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Inputs included an expected range of market values, probabilities made by management that each value could be achieved, expected cash flows, recent comparable transactions, discounted cash flows, discount rate, royalty rate, growth rate, and tax rate.

Items Disclosed at Fair Value

Long-term debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt has been calculated based on the borrowing rates available as of June 30, 2012, for debt with similar terms and maturities, and based on market quotes of our publicly traded debt. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s outstanding debt had a fair value of $18,946.9 million and a carrying value of $19,943.6 million.

Litigation, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

Note 12—Litigation, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

The Company is party to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Contractual commitments

Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness are described in Note 5, “Debt.” At June 30, 2012, our estimated interest payments for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2016 are $882.0 million, $1,771.3 million, $1,773.1 million, $1,396.7 million, and $1,227.2 million, respectively, and our estimated interest payments thereafter are $1,782.6 million.

There have been no material changes of our other known contractual obligations to those set forth in our 2011 10-K.

Contingent Liability - Nevada Sales and Use Tax

The Supreme Court of Nevada decided in early 2008 that food purchased for subsequent use in the provision of complimentary and/or employee meals is exempt from use tax. Previously, such purchases were subject to use tax and the Company has claimed, but not recognized into earnings, a use tax refund totaling $32.2 million, plus interest, as a result of the 2008 decision. In early 2009, the Nevada Department of Taxation (“Department”) audited our refund claim, but has taken the position that those same purchases are now subject to sales tax; therefore, they subsequently issued a sales tax assessment totaling $27.4 million plus interest after application of our refund on use tax.

On October 21, 2010, the administrative law judge (“ALJ”) issued a decision and ruled in our favor on a number of key issues. Although both the Company and the Nevada Department of Taxation filed an appeal of the decision with the Nevada Tax Commission (“Commission”), the case was returned to the ALJ for further factual development. The ALJ’s issued a second decision on March 8, 2012, reversing her previous, partially favorable ruling relating to the taxability of complimentary employee meals and affirmed the taxability of complimentary meals but limited the retroactive application of the sales tax to the Company’s use tax refund claims. The ALJ decision was affirmed in the Commission hearing on June 25, 2012. We are awaiting the Commission’s written decision; however, we intend to petition for judicial review in District Court.

Subsequent to the written Commission decision issued in February for another gaming company, the Department has issued draft regulations requiring the collection of sales tax on the retail value of complimentary meals and the cost of employee meals. Although the Commission approved the regulation on June 25, 2012, there are several additional approvals required, including by the Legislative Commission, before the regulation is finalized. On June 6, 2012, the Department issued additional guidance regarding the payment of sales tax on complimentary and employee meals, maintaining that meals are taxable as of February 15, 2012 but that the payment of the tax is due, without penalty or interest, at the earlier of (a) one month after approval of the regulation by the Legislative Commission, (b) one month after a Nevada Supreme Court decision, (c) the effective date of any legislation or (d) June 30, 2013. The Department provided this additional guidance regarding the deferral of payment requirements because “the Legislative Commission has not had the opportunity to approve the regulation and because there are several ongoing appeals that have not been heard by the Tax Commission and the Nevada Supreme Court”.

Due to uncertainty regarding the ultimate outcome of our pending litigation and/or the final approval and form of the pending regulation, we continue to record certain reserves against loss on this matter.

There have been no material updates for our other contingent liabilities to those set forth in our 2011 10-K.

Note 6—Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments–Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of June 30, 2012, we have entered into eight interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $5,750.0 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows.

The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:

Effective Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Paid			Variable Rate Received as of June 30, 2012			Next Reset Date	Maturity Date
	(In millions)
April 25, 2011	$	250.0		1.351	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		250.0		1.347	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		250.0		1.350	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.068	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.150	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.750	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
April 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.264	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015
January 25, 2011		1,000.0		3.814	%		0.245	%	July 25, 2012	January 25, 2015

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the July 25, 2012 reset.

On January 18, 2012, the Company amended the terms of three $1,000.0 million notional value of interest rate swap contracts with a corresponding change in the elected interest rate on $3,000.0 million of term loans under the Credit Facilities. Effective January 25, 2012 through January 25, 2014, the variable rate received on the swaps changed from three-month to one-month LIBOR and the fixed payment rate was reduced by 16.5 basis points. The table above reflects the amended payment rates.

Derivative Instruments–Interest Rate Cap Agreements

We have an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the CMBS Financing. The CMBS interest rate cap agreement, which was effective in January 2008 and terminates February 13, 2013, is for a notional amount of $6,500.0 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. We are amortizing deferred losses from the interest rate cap frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) into income over the original remaining term of the hedged forecasted transactions that are still probable of occurring. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $5.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively, as an increase to interest expense, and we will record an additional $13.9 million as an increase to interest expense and AOCL through the termination date, all related to deferred losses on the interest rate cap. At June 30, 2012, $4,650.2 million of the interest rate cap was designated a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate cap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

The hedging relationship between the CMBS Financing and the interest rate cap has remained effective subsequent to each debt extinguishment. In connection with the extinguishments, we reclassified deferred losses out of AOCL and into interest expense associated with the hedge for which the forecasted future transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

Derivative Instruments–Other

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a $33.2 million written put option (the “Option”) for certain preferred equity interests. The potential future aggregate cash payments of $33.2 million related to the Option may occur from time to time. Based on the structure of this security as a written put option, the obligation for these potential cash payments is not reflected in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Option is recorded in our consolidated condensed balance sheets at its fair value, which was $0 as of June 30, 2012.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from AOCL, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 by approximately $42.2 million and $84.0 million, and $50.8 million and $117.3 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2012, our variable-rate debt, excluding $5,750.0 million of variable-rate debt hedged using interest rate swap agreements, represents 28% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is 72% of our total debt.

Credit Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, CEOC entered into the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own properties that are security for the CMBS Financing, as defined in our 2011 10-K.

In May 2011, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things: (i) allow CEOC to buy back loans from individual lenders at negotiated prices at any time, which may be less than par, (ii) allow CEOC to extend the maturity of term loans or revolving commitments, as applicable, and for CEOC to otherwise modify the terms of loans or revolving commitments in connection with such an extension, and (iii) modify certain other provisions of the credit facilities. CEOC also extended its Credit Facilities by (i) converting $799.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders to B-5 term loans with an extended maturity date of January 28, 2018 and a higher interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Extended Term Loans”) and (ii) converting $423.3 million of revolver commitments held by consenting lenders into Extended Term Loans.

In March 2012, CEOC amended its Credit Facilities to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of $2,731.4 million of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders from January 28, 2015 to January 28, 2018 and increase the interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (the “Term B-6 Loans”); (ii) convert $82.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments held by consenting lenders to Term B-6 Loans and promptly following such conversion, repay $1,095.6 million of B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-6 term loans; (iii) extend the maturity of $25.0 million original maturity revolver commitments from January 28, 2014 to January 28, 2017 and increase the interest rate and the undrawn commitment fee with respect to such extended revolver commitments and terminate $6.3 million of original maturity revolver commitments; and (iv) modify certain other provisions of the Credit Facilities. In addition to the foregoing, CEOC may elect to extend and/or convert additional term loans and/or revolver commitments from time to time.

During the second quarter of 2012, CEOC extended the maturity on an additional $123.5 million of B-1, B-2, and B-3 term loans and converted another $38.0 million of original maturity revolver commitments to Term B-6 Loans.

As of June 30, 2012, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $7,300.5 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $6,220.3 million comprised of $1,987.0 million maturing on January 28, 2015, $975.0 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and $3,258.3 million maturing on January 28, 2018 and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,080.2 million, with $1,055.2 million maturing January 28, 2014 and $25.0 million maturing on January 28, 2017, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $3.8 million, with the balance due at maturity. As of June 30, 2012, $97.9 million of the revolving credit facility is committed to outstanding letters of credit. After consideration of the letter of credit commitments, $982.3 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012.

CMBS Financing

In March 2011, we purchased $108.1 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $73.5 million, recognizing a gain of $33.2 million, net of deferred financing costs. In April 2011, we purchased $50.0 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $35.0 million, recognizing a gain of $14.3 million, net of deferred financing costs.

In January 2012, we purchased $2.0 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $1.0 million, recognizing a gain of $1.0 million, net of deferred financing costs. In March 2012, we purchased $116.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $70.8 million, recognizing a gain of $44.8 million, net of deferred financing costs. In April 2012, we purchased $83.7 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $50.2 million, recognizing a gain of $32.7 million, net of deferred finance charges.

Other Financing Transactions

In February 2012, Chester Downs issued $330.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2020 through a private placement. Chester Downs used $232.4 million of the proceeds of the notes to repay its existing term loan plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty. The remaining proceeds were used to make a distribution to Chester Downs’ managing member, Harrah’s Chester Downs Investment Company, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEOC, and for other general corporate purposes.

In February 2012, Caesars Operating Escrow LLC and Caesars Escrow Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of CEOC, completed the offering of $1,250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020, the proceeds of which were placed into escrow. On March 1, 2012, the escrow conditions were satisfied and CEOC assumed the notes. CEOC used $1,095.6 million of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay a portion of its senior secured term loans under the Credit Facilities in connection with the March 2012 amendment discussed above.

During the second quarter of 2012, a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment purchased $5.9 million face value of CEOC debt for $3.2 million, recognizing a gain of $1.0 million.

In June 2012, a subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment issued a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $28.5 million. See Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share,” for more information.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

Certain of our borrowings have covenants and requirements that include, among other things, the maintenance of specific levels of financial ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions. Specifically, CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities require CEOC to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio of no more than 4.75 to 1.0, which is the ratio of senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted. This ratio excludes up to $2,200.0 million of first priority senior secured notes and up to $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not wholly owned. This ratio also reduces the amount of senior first priority secured debt by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. As of June 30, 2012, CEOC’s senior secured leverage ratio was 4.30 to 1.0. Many factors affect CEOC’s continuing ability to comply with the covenant including (a) changes in gaming trips, spend per trip and hotel metrics, which are correlated to a consumer recovery, (b) increases in cost-savings actions, (c) asset sales, (d) issuing additional second lien or unsecured debt, (e) equity financings, (f) delays in investments in new developments, or (g) a combination thereof. In addition, under certain circumstances, our senior secured credit facilities allow us to apply cash contributions received by CEOC as an increase to Adjusted EBITDA if CEOC is unable to meet its Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.

In addition, certain covenants contained in CEOC’s senior secured credit facilities and indentures covering its second priority senior secured notes and first priority senior secured notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio (LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted to fixed charges) of at least 2.0 to 1.0, a total first priority secured leverage ratio (first priority senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 4.5 to 1.0, and/or a consolidated leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA-Pro Forma - CEOC Restricted) of no more than 7.25 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2012, CEOC’s total first priority secured leverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio were 6.05 to 1.0 and 12.02 to 1.0, respectively. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, CEOC’s earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $614.8 million. For purposes of calculating the fixed charge coverage ratio, fixed charges includes consolidated interest expense less interest income and any cash dividends paid on preferred stock (other than amounts eliminated in consolidation). For purposes of calculating the total first priority secured leverage ratio and the consolidated leverage ratio, the amounts of first priority senior secured debt and consolidated total debt, respectively, are reduced by the amount of unrestricted cash on hand. The covenants that provide for the fixed charge coverage ratio, total first priority secured leverage ratio, and consolidated leverage ratio described in this paragraph are not maintenance covenants.

Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

Note 17—Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

CEOC is the issuer of certain debt securities that have been guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment and certain subsidiaries of CEOC. The following consolidating schedules present condensed financial information for Caesars Entertainment, the parent and guarantor; CEOC, the subsidiary issuer; guarantor subsidiaries of CEOC; and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Caesars Entertainment and CEOC as of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, we have included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are material to our investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented.

Stockholders' Equity, Non-Controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share

Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity, Non-controlling Interests, and Loss Per Share

Common Stock

In January 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with certain of its direct and indirect stockholders, pursuant to which the Company, Hamlet Holdings, and entities controlled by the Sponsors released the contractual transfer restrictions on 24.2 million shares of our common stock (the “Released Shares”) beneficially owned by certain indirect stockholders (the “Participating Co-Investors”). In consideration for such release, the Participating Co-Investors agreed to contribute 1.8 million shares to the Company (the Delivered Shares”). The Company agreed to cause the registration for resale (the “Shelf Registration”) under the Securities Act of the remaining Released Shares not constituting Delivered Shares (the “Registered Shares”) and the listing of the Registered Shares on NASDAQ.

In February 2012, the Company received the Delivered Shares, placed them into its treasury, and offered 1.8 million newly issued shares of its common stock and an underwriters allotment of 271,697 shares, in a public offering, at $9.00 per share. As a result of the public offering, the Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “CZR.” In connection with this public offering, the Company effected a 1.742-for-one split of its common stock.

The Shelf Registration was filed in February 2012, and, upon its effectiveness, 50% of the Registered Shares became eligible for resale under the Shelf Registration. The Participating Co-Investors agreed not to offer or sell, dispose of or hedge, directly or indirectly, the remaining 50% of the Registered Shares without the permission of certain of the underwriters for the public offering for a period of 180 days from the pricing of such offering, subject to certain exceptions and automatic extension in certain circumstances.

In March 2012, the Company filed a prospectus with the SEC, as part of a registration statement, to sell shares of common stock, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $500.0 million. In April 2012, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, whereby the Company may issue and sell up to 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has sold 15,000 shares with an aggregate offering price of approximately $216,000.

Non-controlling Interests

In March 2012, Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC (formerly known as Rock Gaming, LLC) (“Rock”) and Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (“CIE”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Caesars, entered into an agreement pursuant to which Rock purchased approximately 6,155 shares of CIE common stock for $30.4 million in cash and agreed to purchase additional shares of CIE common stock on or before July 2, 2012. In June 2012, CIE and Rock modified the agreement such that CIE issued to Rock approximately 382 shares of CIE common stock and a promissory note for $28.5 million in exchange for $30.4 million in cash. The promissory note is convertible into approximately 5,773 shares of CIE common stock upon the satisfaction of certain specified criteria and is classified as long-term debt in our consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the original agreement, Rock has the option to purchase approximately 3,140 additional shares of CIE common stock for $19.2 million in cash, which option must be exercised on or before November 15, 2012.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share from continuing operations and discontinued operations is calculated by dividing loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, respectively, net of income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Because the Company generated net losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average basic shares outstanding was used in calculating diluted loss per share from continuing operations, and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations, as using diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

The following table shows the number of shares which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as they were anti-dilutive:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock options outstanding		8.2		6.9		8.2		7.0

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense consists primarily of time-based and performance-based options of Caesars Entertainment and one of its subsidiaries that have been granted to management, other personnel and key service providers. The Company has recognized compensation expense associated with its stock-based compensation programs as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Amounts included in:
Corporate expense	$	4.1	$	1.8	$	14.2	$	5.6
Property, general, administrative, and other		17.6		2.6		19.0		4.7
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	21.7	$	4.4	$	33.2	$	10.3

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $16.2 million of expense related to stock-based awards of its subsidiaries, of which $15.5 million related to liability-classified awards that are re-measured to fair value at each reporting date, and $0.7 million related to equity-classified awards that are measured at their fair value at the date of grant.

In February 2012, the Company declared a 1.742-for-one stock split in connection with its public offering, and the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”). Directors, employees, officers and consultants or advisors who render services to the Company or its subsidiaries may be selected to receive awards under the 2012 Incentive Plan. Our Board of Directors or a subcommittee thereof has the authority to administer the 2012 Incentive Plan. The 2012 Incentive Plan includes the following limits:

• no more than 6,867,018 shares may be issued with respect to incentive stock options under the 2012 Incentive Plan;

• the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to those options and stock appreciation rights that are granted during any calendar year to any individual under the 2012 Incentive Plan is 3,433,509 shares, prior to consideration of the July 2012 amendment as further described in Note 16, “Subsequent Events”;

• the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be delivered pursuant to performance-based awards (other than options and stock appreciation rights intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), and other than cash awards covered by the cap in the following sentence) that are granted to any one participant in any calendar year will not exceed 1,373,404 shares, either individually or in the aggregate;

• in addition, the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any one participant in respect of all performance-based awards payable only in cash and not related to shares of common stock and granted to that participant in any one calendar year will not exceed $25.0 million; and

• awards cancelled during the year will be counted against the limits in the preceding two bullets to the extent required by Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

As a result of adopting the 2012 Incentive Plan, options may no longer be granted under the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Plan adopted February 27, 2008 (the “2008 Incentive Plan”).

The following is a summary of share-based option activity, adjusted for the stock split, including options under the 2008 Incentive Plan and 2012 Incentive Plan and warrants to purchase common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		8,744,649		$	38.15

We classify reserves for tax uncertainties within accrued expenses and deferred credits and other in our consolidated condensed balance sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. Reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities.

We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on open tax positions, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months. The IRS audit of our 2008 federal income tax year concluded during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The IRS proposed an adjustment to our cancellation of debt income tax position which was appealed. In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the issue was settled resulting in a reduction of our net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.4 million. In connection with the settlement, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) decreased by $72.2 million. The decrease in UTB did not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Note 15—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the updated guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The changes result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the new guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. As this is a presentation and disclosure requirement, there was no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted the revised guidance for goodwill impairment testing. The new guidance allows an entity to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. In July 2012, the guidance was amended to include assessments for indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company adopted the amended guidance in the second quarter of 2012 as permitted under the amendment.

The following table sets forth changes in our goodwill and other intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

	Amortizing Intangible Assets			Non-Amortizing Intangible Assets
(In millions)				Goodwill		Other
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	1,163.7		$	3,360.4	$	3,199.5

We completed an impairment assessment of goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets during the second quarter of 2012, and recorded an impairment of $33.0 million related to trademark intangibles as a result of reduced revenues associated with our trademarks. For our assessment, we determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit as a function, or multiple, of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), combined with estimated future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the Company’s capital structure and the prevailing borrowing rates within the casino industry in general. Both EBITDA multiples and discounted cash flows are common measures used to value and buy or sell cash-intensive businesses such as casinos. We determine the estimated fair values of our non-amortizing intangible assets by primarily using the Relief From Royalty Method and Excess Earnings Method under the income approach.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible assets other than goodwill:
