Exhibit 99.1

Offering Memorandum Excerpts

Recent Developments

Offering transactions

On February 2, 2012, CEOC announced its intent to seek amendments to its senior secured credit facilities to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity of up to $2,500 million aggregate principal amount of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans held by consenting lenders (“Extending Term Lenders”) from January 28, 2015 to January 28, 2018, subject to the springing maturity referred to in clause (iv) below, and increase the interest rate with respect to such extended term loans (“Extended Term Loans”) and use a portion of the net cash proceeds of this offering to repay term loans held by each Extending Term Lender in an amount equal to 40% of the principal amount of term loans elected to be extended (up to $1,000 million in the aggregate) on a pro rata basis, with such repayment being applied, first, to such Extending Term Lender’s non-extended B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans and, second, to such Extending Term Lender’s Extended Term Loans; (ii) convert original maturity revolver commitments held by consenting lenders to Extended Term Loans and promptly following such conversion, repay a portion of Extended Term Loans held by any consenting lender; (iii) extend the maturity of original maturity revolver commitments held by consenting lenders who elect not to convert their commitments to term loans, 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 upon the effectiveness of such extension, terminate a portion of the extended revolver commitments on a pro rata basis; (iv) provide that the Extended Term Loans shall have a springing maturity ahead of CEOC’s 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Existing First Lien Notes”) if a certain principal amount of Existing First Lien Notes remain outstanding on a specified date prior to the maturity date for the Existing First Lien Notes; (v) provide that the existing term loans maturing in 2018 shall have the same springing maturity as the Extended Term Loans, described in clause (iv) above; and (vi) modify certain other provisions of the credit facilities ((i) through (vi) above, the “Bank Amendment”). This indebtedness would have a later maturity and bear an interest rate that is higher than that of the term loans being repaid. The proposed amendment of the senior secured credit facilities and related transactions are subject to market and other conditions, and may not occur as described or at all.

CEOC is currently assessing how many lenders of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans have consented to the terms of the proposed Bank Amendment and may make further amendments to the terms of the proposed Bank Amendment to reflect the participation by consenting lenders.

(2) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, CEOC entered into the senior secured credit facilities, which included a $2,000.0 million revolving credit facility that was reduced to $1,206.8 million due to debt retirements and the conversion of a portion of the revolving credit facility to an extended term loan subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition. At September 30, 2011, $1,080.2 million of borrowing capacity was available under our revolving credit facility, with an additional $126.6 million committed to back letters of credit. As part of the Offering Transactions, we are offering lenders under our revolving credit facility the opportunity to convert their outstanding revolving credit facility commitments to term loans, which would result in the further reduction in the size of the revolving credit facility. CEC guarantees this facility, and all of the material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of CEOC, other than Planet Hollywood, Caesars Octavius and Caesars Linq, have pledged their assets to secure this facility.


(3) Upon the closing of the Acquisition, CEOC entered into a seven-year $7,250.0 million term loan facility, all of which was drawn at the closing of the Acquisition. The outstanding borrowings under the term loan have been increased by an incremental term loan drawn in October 2009 and $423.3 million of revolver commitments converted to extended term loans. The outstanding borrowings have been reduced by payments made subsequent to the Acquisition. CEC guarantees this facility, and all of the material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of CEOC, other than Planet Hollywood, Caesars Octavius and Caesars Linq, have pledged their assets to secure this facility. In connection with the Offering Transactions, up to $1,000 million of the term loans will be repaid with net proceeds from the offering of the First Lien Notes. In addition, as part of the Offering Transactions, lenders under our revolving credit facility may convert their outstanding revolving credit commitments to term loans.
