On January 28, 2008, Harrah's Entertainment was acquired by affiliates
of Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP in a transaction
valued at $30.7 billion, including assumption of $12.4 billion of debt and
approximately $1.0 billion of acquisition costs. Harrah's stockholders
received $90 cash for each share of common stock, or a total of $17.3
billion.
On a combined basis, the company's first-quarter income from operations
was $401.0 million, compared with $451.2 million in the 2007 first quarter.
The company recorded a first-quarter loss of $187.8 million, compared with
net income of $185.3 million in the 2007 first quarter. First quarter 2008
included $211.3 million in pretax charges for the early extinguishment of
debt and $142.6 million in non-recurring pretax merger and integration
costs.
"Our first-quarter results reflect the consequences of challenging
economic conditions," said Gary Loveman, Harrah's chairman, president and
chief executive officer. "However, we ended the first quarter with ample
liquidity, and we continued to reduce expenses companywide.
"We saw very strong results with the first-quarter's debut of a new
tower at Harrah's Atlantic City, a project that will continue to open in
phases through the summer," Loveman said. "We're looking forward to the
opening of renovations and re-brandings at properties in Indiana and
Mississippi this summer, the scheduled opening of a $485 million expansion
at Horseshoe Hammond in the third quarter, and the completion next year of
a major expansion at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
"Thanks to those new projects and other revenue-generating initiatives,
as well as our geographic diversification and industry-leading
customer-loyalty program, we're well-positioned to benefit from the
inevitable upturn in the economy," he said.
A substantial portion of the debt of Harrah's Entertainment's
consolidated group is issued by Harrah's Operating Company, Inc., (HOC) a
wholly owned subsidiary of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. Therefore, the
company believes it is meaningful to also provide information pertaining
solely to the results of operations of HOC. The information for HOC assumes
that a post-closing swap of certain properties between HOC and Harrah's
Entertainment, which is expected to occur in second quarter 2008, has
occurred. More information on the post-closing swap can be found in the
company's supplemental information attached to this release.

Summaries of results by region follow:
Las Vegas Region
Overall market weakness and a drop in the number of hotel rooms
available at Caesars Palace due to reconstruction of the Forum Tower and at
Harrah's Las Vegas and the Rio due to room-remediation projects led to
lower first-quarter results in the Las Vegas Region. The company expects
the affected Caesars, Harrah's and Rio rooms to return to service over the
next few months. Completion of a hotel and convention center expansion at
Caesars Palace is on schedule for completion next year and the remainder of
the property's expansion is on schedule for a 2010 completion.

Atlantic City Region
Strong initial results from an expansion at Harrah's Atlantic City,
contributions from Harrah's Chester Casino and Racetrack and reduced
promotional spending led to first-quarter gains in this region, offsetting
the impact of new competition and smoking restrictions in Atlantic City.
The $565 million expansion at Harrah's Atlantic City, which includes 960
hotel rooms and suites and additional casino space, is partially complete
and is opening in phases through mid-summer 2008.

Louisiana/Mississippi Region
The continued strong performance at Harrah's New Orleans helped offset
lower first-quarter results at Grand Casino Tunica, which is undergoing an
extensive renovation and re-branding that is expected to be completed in
the second quarter of 2008. Construction continued on the Margaritaville
Casino & Resort in Biloxi; that project is expected to be completed in
2010. First-quarter 2008 income from operations included $185.4 million of
income from insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of impacted
assets and reimbursable costs and expenses. Property EBITDA results
excluded certain non-recurring items such as the insurance proceeds related
to 2005 hurricane claims.

Imposition of a smoking ban in Illinois led to sharp declines in
first-quarter revenues and Property EBITDA in the Illinois/Indiana Region.
Results were also impacted by flooding that caused a four-day closure of
Caesars Indiana. A $485 million expansion at Horseshoe Hammond remains on
track for a third-quarter 2008 completion.

Managed/International/Other
The first-quarter decline in Property EBITDA was due primarily to a new
smoking ban that impacted volume and a lower table-game hold percentage at
London Clubs International properties and termination of a Native American
management contract in June 2007, which affected comparisons with results
from the first quarter of 2007.

our non-consolidated subsidiaries.
Other items
First-quarter corporate expenses were lower than in the 2007 first
period due to continued realization of cost savings and efficiencies.
Interest expense increased significantly from the 2007 first quarter
due to higher debt levels associated with the company's purchase by
affiliates of Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital. Results were also
impacted by a first-quarter 2008 charge of $141.7 million due to the
decline in the fair value of the company's interest-rate swaps. The average
interest rate on the company's variable-rate debt, including the impact of
the swap agreements, was 6.0 percent at March 31, 2008.
The effective tax rate for the 2008 first quarter was 23.4 percent
compared with 37.5 percent in the 2007 first quarter. The effective rate is
lower in the 2008 period due primarily to non-deductible merger costs,
international income taxes and state income taxes.
Discontinued operations for the 2008 first quarter reflect insurance
proceeds of $87.4 million, after taxes, in excess of the net book value of
the impacted assets and accumulated costs and expenses reimbursed under the
company's insurance claims for Grand Casino Gulfport, which was sold in
2006. Pursuant to the terms of the sales agreements, Harrah's retained all
insurance proceeds related to these properties.

(a) Property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) consists of Income from operations before depreciation
and amortization, write-downs, reserves and recoveries, project
opening costs, corporate expense, merger and integration costs,
income/(losses) on interests in non-consolidated affiliates 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 Income from operations (as an
indicator of our operating performance) or to Cash flows from
operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in

CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA
(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 and
senior toggle notes, the interim loan agreement and/or our new senior
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. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies.

CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA
(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 and
senior toggle notes, the interim loan agreement and/or our new senior
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. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies.
In connection with the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of
Apollo Global Management, LLC and TPG Capital, LP, eight of our properties
and their related operating assets were spun off from Harrah's Operating
Company to Harrah's Entertainment through a series of distributions,
liquidations, transfers and contributions, collectively referred to as the
"the CMBS Spin- Off." The eight properties, as of the closing, are Harrah's
Las Vegas, Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Atlantic City, Showboat
Atlantic City, Harrah's Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe and Bill's Lake
Tahoe. Subsequent to the closing and subject to regulatory approval, Paris
Las Vegas and Harrah's Laughlin and their related operating assets will be
spun off from Harrah's Operating Company and its subsidiaries to Harrah's
Entertainment, and Harrah's Lake Tahoe, Harveys Lake Tahoe, Bill's Lake
Tahoe and Showboat Atlantic City and their related operating assets will be
transferred to subsidiaries of Harrah's Operating Company from Harrah's
Entertainment (the "Post-Close CMBS Exchange"). The properties spun off
from Harrah's Operating Company and owned by Harrah's Entertainment,
whether at closing or after the subsequent transfer, will collectively be
referred to as "the CMBS properties." Also in connection with the
acquisition by affiliates of Apollo and TPG, London Clubs International
Limited ("London Clubs") and its subsidiaries, with the exception of the
subsidiaries related to the South Africa operations, became subsidiaries of
Harrah's Operating Company ("the London Clubs Transfer"). London Clubs and
its subsidiaries were previously subsidiaries of Harrah Entertainment.
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah's
Operating for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2008 to January 27,
2008 and for the Successor period from January 28, 2008 to March 31, 2008
and takes into consideration the CMBS Spin-Off, the London Clubs Transfer
and the Post- Close CMBS exchange:

been a component of HOC, namely, captive insurance companies and

(3) Represents the historical financial information of HOC.
(4) Reflects the removal of the historical operating results of the CMBS
properties, pursuant to the CMBS Spin-Off in which certain properties
and operations of HOC were spun-off into a separate borrowing
structure and held side-by-side with HOC under Harrah's
Entertainment. The historical operating expenses of HOC include
unallocated costs attributable to services that have been performed
by HOC on behalf of the CMBS properties. These costs are primarily
related to corporate functions such as accounting, tax, treasury,
payroll and benefits administration, risk management, legal, and
information management and technology. The CMBS spin-off reflects the
push-down of corporate expense of $34.7 million that was unallocated
at January 27, 2008. Following the Merger, many of these services
will continue to be provided by HOC pursuant to a shared services
agreement with the CMBS properties.
(5) Reflects the inclusion of the London Clubs operating results pursuant
to the London Clubs Transfer, in which London Clubs and its
subsidiaries became subsidiaries of HOC.
(6) Reflects the results of the Post-Closing CMBS spin-off, which is
