N/M—Not meaningful

“While weather-related property closures in the Atlantic City Region impacted our overall third-quarter results, we saw strengthening fundamentals in our Nevada and international operations,” said Gary Loveman, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. “We also made significant progress on an exciting growth agenda aimed at expanding our distribution network, increasing the strength of our core brands and streamlining our organization.

“During the quarter, our efficiency initiatives and organizational realignments not only produced $85.0 million in additional cost savings but are also expected to expedite decision-making and increase our effectiveness, setting the stage for sustained growth in the years ahead,” Loveman said. “We achieved the highest customer-satisfaction scores in the company’s history, and saw the expansion of Total Rewards Marketplace to more than 2,500 retailers from about 500 in the second quarter.

“We also made great strides during the third quarter on our two casino-development projects with Rock Gaming LLC in Ohio, the first of which is scheduled to open next March, and on the 662-room expansion of the Octavius Tower in Las Vegas, which is scheduled to open in early January;” Loveman said. “Caesars leads the group that is the only qualified bidder for a slot-facility gaming license in Baltimore and we are closely following gaming-expansion opportunities in Massachusetts, where we’ve formed a partnership with Suffolk Downs.

“Caesars Global Life’s first Asia-Pacific project — Caesars Palace Longmu Bay, a five-star luxury resort on Hainan Island — broke ground during the third quarter. We are working with a subsidiary of Jiangsu Guoxin Investment Group Limited, one of the premier investment and development companies in China, to develop and manage the non-gaming resort,” Loveman said. “We continue to seek other opportunities in the region for both gaming and non-gaming development projects.”

Third-Quarter Commentary

Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s (“Caesars Entertainment”, “Caesars” or the “Company” ) 2011 third-quarter revenues decreased 1.5 percent to $2,254.0 million from $2,288.5 million in 2010. The decrease primarily reflects declines in our U.S. operations outside of Nevada due to a number of factors. Hurricane Irene, which made landfall in New Jersey in August 2011, caused temporary closures of four of our properties in the Atlantic City region during one of the final weekends of the peak summer season. The Company estimates that the closures reduced revenues by approximately $22 million to $27 million and reduced Income from operations and Property EBITDA by approximately $15 million to $20 million. New competition in July 2011 caused unfavorable comparisons in the Illinois/Indiana region. These declines were partially offset by positive fundamentals in the Las Vegas and Other Nevada regions as well as the Uruguay and London Clubs properties.

Income from operations for the 2011 third quarter increased to $198.2 million from $175.7 million in 2010. Income from operations in 2010 included impairment charges related to goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets of $44.0 million. Prior to consideration of the 2010 impairment charges, income from operations decreased in the third-quarter 2011 to $198.2 million from $219.7 million for 2010. The decrease was due in part to the hurricane in Atlantic City, as well as the income impact of other revenue declines in the Midwest, offset in part by decreased property operating expenses.

Nine-Month Commentary

Caesars Entertainment’s nine-month revenues for 2011 were down compared with 2010. The decline was due to the third-quarter 2011 regional revenue declines mentioned above, including the effects of Hurricane Irene, as well as the temporary closures of seven properties in the Illinois/Indiana and Louisiana/Mississippi regions due to flooding and severe weather conditions in the first half of 2011. These declines were partially mitigated by steadily improving fundamentals in the Las Vegas region and the full nine-month impact of Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, which was acquired in February 2010.

Income from operations for the first nine months of 2011 increased to $663.9 million from $401.2 million in 2010. Included in Income from operations for 2010 were impairment charges related to goodwill and other non-amortizing intangible assets of $144.0 million. Prior to consideration of the 2010 impairment charges, income from operations for 2011 increased to $663.9 million from $545.2 million in 2010. The increase was attributable to reduced property operating expenses resulting from the company’s cost-reduction efforts, reduced and more focused marketing expenditures, reduced depreciation expense, and the effect of the second quarter 2010 charges of $52.2 million to fully reserve a note-receivable balance related to a venture for development of a casino project in Philadelphia, and $25.0 million relating to a previously disclosed contingency, with no comparable amounts in 2011.

Performance Metrics

The Company measures its performance in part through tracking of trips by rated players (“trips”) and spend per rated-player trip (“spend per trip”). On a consolidated basis, trips in 2011 decreased 5.1 percent for the third quarter and 7.4 percent for the nine months from the year-ago periods, while spend per trip increased 3.0 percent for the third quarter and 4.1 percent for the nine months. The third-quarter trip declines were the result of the temporary closures in the Atlantic City region due to Hurricane Irene and reduced access to one of our properties in the Illinois/Indiana region, as well as the impact of marketing programs on visitation frequency of certain customer segments in all regions. The trip declines in the nine-month period of 2011 also included temporary closures of seven of our properties in the Illinois/Indiana and Louisiana/Mississippi regions during the first half of 2011 due to flooding and severe weather conditions. Cash average daily room rates for 2011 increased 7.4 percent in the third quarter and 5.8 percent for the nine months, and total occupancy percentages increased 1.3 percentage points for both the third-quarter and nine-month periods when compared to 2010.

To provide more meaningful information than would be possible on either a consolidated basis or an individual property basis, the Company’s casino properties have been grouped into seven regions to facilitate discussion. Certain regional performance metrics are discussed below. Operating results for each of the regions appear in the Caesars Entertainment Corporation Results by Region section of this press release.

Las Vegas property trips for 2011 rose 3.0 percent for the third quarter and 3.7 percent for the nine months from the year-ago periods, and spend per trip in 2011 increased 3.1 percent for the third quarter and 4.6 percent for the nine months. Hotel revenues increased in 2011 by 10.8 percent for the third quarter and 12.4 percent for the nine months. Cash average daily room rates increased in 2011 by 9.5 percent and 7.5 percent, and total occupancy percentages rose 3.3 and 3.7 percentage points for the third-quarter and nine-month periods, respectively.

Atlantic City property trips decreased in 2011 by 3.3 percent for lodgers and 7.0 percent for non-lodgers for the third quarter and 1.1 percent for lodgers and 6.0 percent for non-lodgers for the nine months. Spend per trip in 2011 decreased 2.2 percent for lodgers and 1.5 percent for non-lodgers for the third quarter and 2.1 percent for lodgers and 2.2 percent for non-lodgers for the nine months. Trip declines in the third quarter were directly impacted by the temporary property closures as a result of Hurricane Irene.

On a combined basis for the remainder of the Company’s U.S. markets, trips decreased in 2011 by 6.7 percent for the third quarter and 11.8 percent for the nine months. However, spend per trip in 2011 increased 4.1 percent for the third quarter and 4.9 percent for the nine months. Trip declines in both periods can be attributed to more focused marketing targeted to certain customer segments. The declines for the nine-month period were further impacted by the temporary property closures in the first half of 2011 due to flooding and severe weather conditions.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT OPERATING COMPANY, INC. RESULTS

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION RESULTS BY REGION

LAS VEGAS REGION

Las Vegas Region properties include Bally’s Las Vegas, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon, Caesars Palace, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah’s Las Vegas, Imperial Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood and Rio.


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)			Nine Months Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)
($ in millions)	2011		2010		Percent Increase/ (Decrease)			2011		2010		Percent Increase/ (Decrease)

Property EBITDA ⁽¹⁾		172.9		165.0		4.8	%		599.3		532.7		12.5	%

Revenues increased 2.9 percent in the 2011 third quarter as a result of increases in both trips and spend per trip. Revenues were also increased by higher total occupancy percentages and cash average daily room rates. These trends demonstrate continued strengthening in the fundamentals for this region. Income from operations and Property EBITDA for the 2011 third quarter increased compared to 2010 due primarily to the income impact of increased revenues.

ATLANTIC CITY REGION

Atlantic City Region properties include Bally’s Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Atlantic City, Harrah’s Chester and Showboat Atlantic City.


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)			Nine Months Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)
($ in millions)	2011		2010		Percent Increase/ (Decrease)			2011		2010		Percent Increase/ (Decrease)

Property EBITDA ⁽¹⁾		89.5		113.1		(20.9	)%		240.3		263.5		(8.8	)%

Hurricane Irene, which made landfall in New Jersey in August 2011, caused temporary closures of four of our properties in the Atlantic City region during one of the final weekends of the peak summer season. The Company estimates that the closures reduced revenues by approximately $22 million to $27 million and reduced Income from operations and Property EBITDA by approximately $15 million to $20 million. In addition, revenues in the region continued to be affected by competition from new casinos and the mid-2010 introduction of table games in the Pennsylvania market. Income from operations was lower as a result of the income impact of reduced revenues, partially offset by reduced property operating expenses.

LOUISIANA/MISSISSIPPI REGION

Louisiana/Mississippi Region properties include Grand Casino Biloxi, Harrah’s New Orleans, Harrah’s Tunica, Horseshoe Bossier City, Horseshoe Tunica, Louisiana Downs and Tunica Roadhouse.


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)			Nine Months Ended September 30,				Percent Increase/ (Decrease)

Property EBITDA ⁽¹⁾		60.3		63.5		(5.0	)%		183.6		167.8		9.4	%

Net revenues in the region decreased for the 2011 third quarter due to decreased trips. However, spend per trip increased. Prior to the consideration of the 2010 impairment charge, Income from operations and Property EBITDA improved for the nine months as costs incurred during the first-half 2011 closures, as well as those connected with restoring the affected properties to operating condition, of approximately $21 million have not been expensed, but instead have been recorded as a receivable from third-party insurance providers. The 2010 nine-month results include a one-time rent adjustment paid to the City of New Orleans in the amount of $6.4 million.

IOWA/MISSOURI REGION

Iowa/Missouri Region properties include Harrah’s Council Bluffs, Harrah’s North Kansas City, Harrah’s St. Louis and Horseshoe Council Bluffs.

Net revenues in the region decreased for the 2011 third quarter and nine months due to increased competitive pressures in the region and reduced trips. However, spend per trip increased.

ILLINOIS/INDIANA REGION

Illinois/Indiana Region properties include Harrah’s Joliet, Harrah’s Metropolis, Horseshoe Hammond and Horseshoe Southern Indiana.

Property EBITDA ⁽¹⁾		50.1		58.5		(14.4	)%		173.0		176.8		(2.1	)%

Revenues in the region decreased for the 2011 third quarter due to new competition and limited direct access by customers to one of our properties caused by a bridge closure, both of which resulted in a decline in trips, although, spend per trip increased. Prior to the consideration of the 2010 impairment charges, Income from operations and Property EBITDA decreased for the third quarter due in part to the income impact of revenue declines.

OTHER NEVADA REGION

Other Nevada Region properties include Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Harrah’s Laughlin, Harrah’s Reno and Harvey’s Lake Tahoe.

Net revenue increases during the 2011 third quarter were attributable to increases in spend per trip at the Company’s Uruguay and London Clubs properties.

OTHER ITEMS

Interest expense decreased $73.3 million for the 2011 third quarter due to changes in fair values of derivative instruments, the impact of the first-half swap amendments, and lower outstanding debt levels during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2010. The decreases above were partially offset by additional amortization of deferred losses frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss and additional interest expense associated with the first-half 2011 debt issuances.

The Company did not have any early extinguishments of debt during the 2011 third quarter. During the third-quarter 2010, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on early extinguishments of debt of $77.4 million ($49.4 million, net of taxes) as a result of the Company’s repurchase of $123.8 million face value of CMBS Loans.

The Company’s third-quarter 2011 effective tax rate benefit was 28.9 percent, compared with an effective tax rate benefit of 37.4 percent for the third-quarter 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate benefit for 2011 was due primarily to losses incurred in various state and foreign jurisdictions for which we did not provide a tax benefit in 2011 and from nondeductible losses on our company-owned life insurance policies in 2011.

Caesars Entertainment has undertaken comprehensive cost-reduction efforts to right-size expenses with business levels. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company began a new initiative to reinvent certain aspects of its functional and operating units to streamline operations and gain significant further cost reductions. During the third-quarter 2011, the Company realized cost savings of $85.0 million and has estimated cost savings yet to be realized of $202.5 million as of September 30, 2011.

⁽¹⁾

Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies. Income from operations before impairment charges is a measurement not in accordance with GAAP and is presented in order to provide an understanding of our business performance without consideration of impairments due to the lack of comparability of these charges from period to period. Reconciliations of Property EBITDA to Net loss attributable to Caesars and of Net loss attributable to Caesars to Adjusted EBITDA are attached to this release. Property EBITDA consists of income/(loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization, project opening costs, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, impairment of intangible assets, income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates, corporate expense, acquisition and integration costs, and amortization of intangible assets. Property EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to loss from operations (as an indicator of our operating performance) or to Cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with GAAP. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, the Company’s Property EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

⁽²⁾	Does not include the pro forma effect of adjustments related to properties and yet-to-be-realized cost savings from our profitability improvement programs.

RECONCILIATION OF NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAESARS

TO ADJUSTED EBITDA AND LTM ADJUSTED EBITDA—PRO FORMA

(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing the senior notes, first lien notes, second lien notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.

LTM Adjusted EBITDA -Pro Forma is defined as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to include pro forma adjustments related to properties and estimated cost savings yet to be realized.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and LTM Adjusted EBITDA—Pro Forma may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles Net loss attributable to Caesars to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

RECONCILIATION OF NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CEOC

TO ADJUSTED EBITDA AND LTM ADJUSTED EBITDA - PRO FORMA

(UNAUDITED)

The following calculations include the results and adjustments for CEOC on a consolidated basis. This presentation does not exclude CEOC’s unrestricted subsidiaries, and therefore, is different than the calculation used to determine compliance with debt covenants under the credit facility.

LTM Adjusted EBITDA - Pro Forma is defined as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to include pro forma adjustments related to properties and estimated cost savings yet to be realized.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and LTM Adjusted EBITDA - Pro Forma may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles Net loss attributable to CEOC to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Other non-recurring or non-cash items ^(e)		16.1			2.9

Adjusted EBITDA ^(f)	$	372.3		$	389.4
