2017 CAESARS ANALYST DAY 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 SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), from CEC Investor Relations (investor.caesars.com) or from CAC Investor Relations (investor.caesarsacquisitioncompany.com). The information in this communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law. CEC, CAC and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees may be soliciting proxies from CEC and CAC stockholders in favor of the business combination transaction. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered participants in the solicitation of the CEC and CAC stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination transaction is set forth in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 12, 2017 and Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for CAC’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed on March 31, 2017, respectively. You can obtain free copies of these documents from CEC and CAC in the manner set forth above. 4

2017 CAESARS ANALYST DAY Use of Non-GAAP Measures The following non-GAAP measures will be used in the presentation and discussed at the conference at which these materials will be presented: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Property EBITDA Free Cash Flow CEC + CEOC, or enterprise-wide financial measures De?nitions of these non-GAAP measures, reconciliations to their nearest GAAP measures, and the reasons management believes these measures provide useful information for investors, can be found in the Appendix to this presentation. 5

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 CEC’s 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 CIE’s 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 CIE’s continuing operations, CIE is no longer considered a separate reportable segment from CGP Casinos based on management’s 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 CEOC’s 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 CEOC’s restructuring, which would result in the reacquisition of CEOC’s 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 system’s 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 CEC’s and CAC’s 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 Management’s 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 CEOC’s 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 CEC’s 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 CEC’s 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 information’s 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 CEOC’s 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 CEOC’s restructuring, which would result in the reacquisition of CEOC’s 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 system’s 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 CEC’s 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 CEC’s 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 Company’s 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 CEOC’s 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
