2017 CAESARS ANALYST DAY Important Information About Presentation of Results On January 15, 2015, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (CEOC) filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, resulting in the deconsolidation of CEOC from CECs operating results effective as of such date. As such, amounts presented in this presentation exclude the operating results of CEOC subsequent to January 15, 2015, unless otherwise stated, and analysis of our operating results in this presentation and as may be discussed during the CEC 2017 Analyst Day event and simultaneous webcast which this presentation accompanies include those components that remain in the consolidated CEC entity subsequent to the deconsolidation of CEOC. Continuing CEC represents Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties, LLC (CERP), Caesars Growth Partners, LLC (CGP) and the associated parent company and elimination adjustments that represent the current CEC consolidated structure. Through June 30, 2016, we aggregated the operating segments within CGP into two separate reportable segments: CGP Casino Properties and Interactive Entertainment. On September 23, 2016, Caesars Interactive Entertainment, LLC (CIE) sold its social and mobile games business (the SMG Business) for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and retained only its World Series of Poker (WSOP) and regulated online real money gaming businesses. The SMG Business represented the majority of CIEs operations and is being classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented effective in the third quarter of 2016. After excluding the SMG Business from CIEs continuing operations, CIE is no longer considered a separate reportable segment from CGP Casinos based on managements view. Therefore, CGP Casinos and CIE have been combined for all periods presented to form the CGP segment. Unless otherwise specified, references to Caesars, our or enterprise wide refer to Continuing CEC and CEOC. However, we are also providing certain supplemental information as if we had continued to consolidate CEOC throughout the first quarter of 2017. This information includes both stand-alone CEOC financials, and certain financial information for CEC as if CEOC remained a consolidated entity. This information within this presentation may be different from CEOCs standalone results separately provided due to immaterial adjustments, rounding, and basis of presentation differences. CEC has committed to a material amount of payments to support CEOCs restructuring, which would result in the reacquisition of CEOCs operations if the restructuring is made on terms consistent with the current Restructuring Support Agreements to which CEC is a party (RSAs) and the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the bankruptcy court on January 17, 2017 (the Plan). In addition, compensation of management is in part determined by reference to certain of such financial information. As a result, we believe this supplemental information is useful to investors who are trying to understand the results of the entire Caesars enterprise, including CEOC and consistent with the management services provided across the systems properties. This supplemental information is non-GAAP. It is not preferable to GAAP results but is used by management as an analytical tool to assess the results of all properties owned, managed or branded by a Caesars entity, regardless of consolidation. Additionally, the results are not necessarily indicative of future performance or of the results that would be reported should the reorganization of CEOC contemplated by the RSAs and the Plan be successfully completed. 6

2017 CAESARS ANALYST DAY Important Information About Projections The projections contained in this presentation represent projections for the CEC entity post-Merger and Emergence, or New CEC (the New CEC Projections). Upon the request of CEC and CAC, Caesars Enterprise Services (CES) management and personnel that provide corporate and management services to CECs and CACs respective properties (CES Management) prepared and developed the New CEC Projections, with input from CEC, CEOC, CAC, and others, as applicable, during the annual budgeting cycle in late 2016 and are consistent with the 2017 annual plan and corresponding long range plan. The New CEC Projections do not incorporate any impact or adjustments to projections based on current 2017 year-to-date performance. Additionally, the New CEC Projections reflect CES Managements judgment (at the time the projections were prepared) of future operating and business conditions, which are subject to change. Although CES Management believes its assumptions to be reasonable, it is important to note that CEC and CAC can provide no assurance that such assumptions will be realized. Projections include a range of outcomes by their nature. The New CEC Projections were prepared to include projections that CES Management believed, at the time of preparation in 2017, to be the most likely case. CEC and CAC have not included nor does CEC or CAC anticipate including the associated ranges. The New CEC Projections include certain information that represents non-GAAP measures. CEC and CAC are unable to reconcile Adjusted EBITDAR, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure, to its nearest GAAP measure because the nearest GAAP ?nancial measure is not accessible on a forward-looking basis, as described further below. The New CEC Projections did not include, among other things, the following material items: Fair Value adjustments and the related income statement effects required as a result of the reacquisition of CEOC and its consolidation by CEC subsequent to CEOCs Emergence from bankruptcy; The effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts With Customers (Topic 606), which CEC is required to adopt by January 1, 2018; The effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which CEC is required to adopt by January 1, 2019; Depreciation expense on a GAAP basis as the New CEC Projections are prepared at a much higher level than GAAP would prescribe; Stock compensation expense as the New CEC Projections do not include expected future grants; and Adjustments that may be required if future changes are made to consolidation conclusions. Because the items noted above are expected to have a material effect on the GAAP results, the nearest GAAP ?nancial measure, Net Income, is unavailable without an unreasonable effort. Although presented with numerical specificity, the New CEC Projections reflect numerous assumptions and estimates as to future events made by CES Management. The long range projections assume organic top line growth of 2.0%3.0% across the New CEC portfolio, 1.75% per annum fixed cost increases, and renovation of hotel room product at many of CECs Las Vegas properties during the forecast period. Although acquisitions, divestitures, and development prospects are regularly evaluated by CEC and CAC, the New CEC Projections do not include any costs or contributions from these inorganic opportunities due to the speculative nature of such prospects.

2017 CAESARS ANALYST DAY Important Information About Projections (continued) The New CEC Projections included in this presentation are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this information are cautioned not to place undue reliance thereon. Neither CECs independent auditors nor any other independent accountants have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the New CEC Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the New CEC Projections. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected financial information are inherently uncertain and, though considered reasonable by CES Management as of the date of the projected financial informations preparation, are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the New CEC Projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the New CEC Projections are indicative of the future performance of CEC or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the New CEC Projections. Inclusion of the New CEC Projections in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the New CEC Projections will be achieved. 8

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information NOTES Because we deconsolidated CEOC upon its Chapter 11 filing we are also providing certain supplemental information as if we had continued to consolidate CEOC throughout the first quarter of 2017. This information includes both stand-alone CEOC financials and key metrics for the first quarter of 2017, and certain financial information for CEC as if CEOC remained a consolidated entity during the quarter. This information within this presentation may be different from CEOCs standalone results separately provided due to immaterial adjustments, rounding, and basis of presentation differences. CEC has committed to a material amount of payments to support CEOCs restructuring, which would result in the reacquisition of CEOCs operations if the restructuring is made on terms consistent with the current Restructuring Support Agreements to which CEC is a party (RSAs) and the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the bankruptcy court on January 17, 2017 (the Plan). In addition, compensation of management is in part determined by reference to certain of such financial information. As a result, we believe this supplemental information is useful to investors who are trying to understand the results of the entire Caesars enterprise, including CEOC and consistent with the management services provided across the systems properties. j As a result of the above, CEC in the following reconciliations represents GAAP results for CEC as reported for the period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. j As a result of the above, CEC+CEOC in the following reconciliations represents Non-GAAP results as it includes CEOC for both the 2016 and 2017 periods. 3 2 0 1 7 C A E S A R S A N A L Y S T D A Y

Notes To Non-GAAP Information Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items as exhibited in the above reconciliation, and is presented as a supplemental measure of CECs performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information and allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of CEC. In addition, compensation of management is in part determined by reference to certain of such financial information. As a result, we believe this supplemental information is useful to investors who are trying to understand the results of CEC. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Revenue and is presented for the same reasons as Adjusted EBITDA noted above. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Primarily represents CECs estimated costs in connection with the restructuring of CEOC. Amounts primarily represent costs incurred in connection with property openings and expansion projects at existing properties, costs associated with the development activities and reorganization activities, and/or recoveries associated with such items. Amounts represent stock-based compensation expense related to shares, stock options, and restricted stock units granted to the Companys employees. Amounts represent add-backs and deductions from EBITDA, permitted under certain indentures. Such add-backs and deductions include litigation awards and settlements, costs associated with CEOCs restructuring and related litigation, severance and relocation costs, sign-on and retention bonuses, permit remediation costs, and business optimization expenses. Amounts include consolidating adjustments, eliminating adjustments and other adjustments to reconcile to consolidated CEC Property EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 9

Important Additional Information Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 9, 2016, between Caesars Entertainment Corporation (CEC) and Caesars Acquisition Company (CAC), as subsequently amended on February 20, 2017 (as amended, the Merger Agreement), among other things, CAC will merge with and into CEC, with CEC as the surviving company (the Merger). In connection with the Merger, on March 13, 2017, CEC and CAC filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed transaction. The registration statement has not yet become effective. After the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of CEC and CAC. Stockholders are urged to read the registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Merger and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important information. You will be able to obtain a free copy of such joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about CEC and CAC, at the SECs website (www.sec.gov), from CEC Investor Relations (investor.caesars.com) or from CAC Investor Relations (investor.caesarsacquisitioncompany.com). Important Information About Projections The projections contained in this presentation represent projections for the CEC entity post-Merger and Emergence, or New CEC (the New CEC Projections). Upon the request of CEC and CAC, Caesars Enterprise Services (CES) management and personnel that provide corporate and management services to CECs and CACs respective properties (CES Management) prepared and developed the New CEC Projections, with input from CEC, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (CEOC), CAC, and others, as applicable, during the annual budgeting cycle in late 2016 and are consistent with the 2017 annual plan and corresponding long range plan. The New CEC Projections do not incorporate any impact or adjustments to projections based on current 2017 year-to-date performance. Additionally, the New CEC Projections reflect CES Managements judgment (at the time the projections were prepared) of future operating and business conditions, which are subject to change. Although CES Management believes the assumptions disclosed herein to be reasonable, it is important to note that CEC and CAC can provide no assurance that such assumptions will be realized. Projections include a range of outcomes by their nature. For this presentation, the New CEC Projections were prepared to include projections that CES Management believed, at the time of preparation in 2017, to be the most likely case. CEC and CAC have not included nor does CEC or CAC anticipate including the associated ranges. The New CEC Projections include certain information that represents non-GAAP measures. CEC and CAC are unable to reconcile Adjusted EBITDAR, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure, to its nearest GAAP measure because the nearest GAAP financial measure is not accessible on a forward-looking basis, as described further below. The New CEC Projections did not include, among other things, the following material items: Fair Value adjustments and the related income statement effects required as a result of the reacquisition of CEOC and its consolidation by CEC subsequent to CEOCs Emergence from bankruptcy; The effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts With Customers (Topic 606), which CEC is required to adopt by January 1, 2018; The effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which CEC is required to adopt by January 1, 2019; Depreciation expense on a GAAP basis as the New CEC Projections are prepared at a much higher level than GAAP would prescribe; Stock compensation expense as the New CEC Projections do not include expected future grants; and Adjustments that may be required if future changes are made to consolidation conclusions. Because the items noted above are expected to have a material effect on the GAAP results, the nearest GAAP financial measure, Net Income, is unavailable without an unreasonable effort. Although presented with numerical specificity, the above unaudited prospective financial information reflects numerous assumptions and estimates as to future events made by CES Management. The long range projections assume organic top line growth of 2.0%3.0% across the New CEC portfolio, 1.75% per annum fixed cost increases, and renovation of hotel room product at many of CECs Las Vegas properties during the forecast period. Although acquisitions, divestitures, and development prospects are regularly evaluated by CEC and CAC, the projections do not include any costs or contributions from these inorganic opportunities due to the speculative nature of such prospects. The New CEC Projections included in this presentation are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this information are cautioned not to place undue reliance thereon. Neither CECs independent auditors nor any other independent accountants have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the New CEC Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the New CEC Projections. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected financial information are inherently uncertain and, though considered reasonable by CES Management as of the date of the projected financial informations preparation, are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the New CEC Projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the New CEC Projections are indicative of the future performance of CEC or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the New CEC Projections. Inclusion of the New CEC Projections in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the New CEC Projections will be achieved. |

Caesars Entertainment Executives Outline
Companys Growth Opportunities at 2017 Analyst Day
LAS VEGAS, May 18, 2017 Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ: CZR) (Caesars Entertainment) Chief Executive Officer Mark Frissora and other senior executives will today discuss the Companys strong historical performance and its prospects and strategy for growth. At its 2017 Analyst Day in Las Vegas, Frissora and his management team plan to provide an update on the Companys financial and operational improvements as well as current and planned initiatives to enhance shareholder value.
Since 2014, Caesars Entertainment has invested more than $2 billion in property and room renovations, developments, technology upgrades and new amenities. Combined with the implementation of business process improvement initiatives, Caesars Entertainment has improved adjusted EBITDA by $756 million and adjusted EBITDA margins by more than 800 basis points.
We have made meaningful financial and operational progress, and set aggressive, achievable goals for the future, Frissora said. Ultimately, we believe our success will be the result of expert management, engaged employees and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction.
The analyst day comes as Caesars Entertainment prepares for the conclusion of Caesars Entertainment Operating Companys (CEOC) restructuring process, expected in the second half of the third quarter. Frissora and the management team intend to address critical areas the Company believes will generate new growth and value creation opportunities. These areas include:
| Strongest Loyalty Program in the Gaming Industry With more than 50 million Total Rewards members, the program demonstrates a significant impact on property performance that Caesars Entertainment expects to improve as the Company applies machine learning to customer behavioral data. |
| Strong Revenue Position in Las Vegas While diversified across the U.S. Caesars Entertainment garners more than 50 percent of gaming revenue in Las Vegas, a city with a positive, long-term outlook. In addition, renovations and remodeling of the Companys Las Vegas properties are expected to create substantial runway for pricing growth. |
| Network Expansion Opportunities Caesars Entertainment anticipates the emergence of CEOC is expected to reduce debt by approximately ~$16 billion and to unlock new opportunities for organic and inorganic growth across global markets. |
| Proven Management Execution Improving enterprise-wide performance is expected to continue as a result of disciplined capital allocation and a more efficient operating model. |
The successful execution of these revenue initiatives and continued focus on operating efficiency has driven an improvement in cash flow. Cash flow is expected to continue to improve as a result of potential debt refinancing and the elimination, in 2018, of costs associated with CEOCs restructuring.
The Companys continued commitment to investment in its assets is evidenced by its announcement today that it plans to begin the $89 million renovation of more than 1,250 rooms at the Flamingo Las Vegas. These upgrades are part of a plan to renovate more than 7,000 rooms across the enterprise by year end 2017.
Later this year, the Company expects CEOCs restructuring to be completed as well as the merger of Caesars Entertainment and Caesars Acquisition Company. Upon completion, management believes it will have more opportunities to invest in and grow the business.
Presentation Details
The presentations to analysts will begin at 9:00 am PT, followed by a question-and-answer session. A live video webcast and replay will be available at http://investor.caesars.com
