  Total Rewards Now Offers Wide Variety of Ways to Earn Credits beyond the
                                Casino Floor

    LAS VEGAS, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. has
launched the third generation of its award-winning Total Rewards customer
loyalty program. The new, expanded Total Rewards will offer its members the
ability to earn Reward Credits and Tier Credits for nearly all of their
entertainment expenditures at participating venues, including dining, live
entertainment, golf, spa and retail outlets.

    For every dollar members spend on most non-gaming purchases at Harrah's
properties, including their hotel stay, members will earn one Reward
Credit. Those points can then be redeemed for entertainment expenditures at
participating outlets.

    Total Rewards, introduced in 2000, was the casino industry's first
national, multi-brand loyalty effort. The newly expanded program allows the
40 million-plus Total Rewards customers to accumulate Rewards Credits and
Tier Credits for most entertainment expenditures*.

    To earn Reward and Tier Credits, Total Rewards members must present
their Total Rewards card at the point of purchase. Guests staying at
Harrah's-operated properties can earn credits either upon check-in or prior
to check-out. The process of redeeming credits remains unchanged.

    "This is an exciting and important enhancement to Total Rewards," said
David Norton, chief marketing officer, Harrah's Entertainment. "It's a
natural evolution that incorporates our growing number of entertainment
offerings and appeals to gamers and non-gamers alike. Now more people in
more places can enjoy the benefits of earning and redeeming Rewards
Credits."

    Most of the 40 Harrah's-operated casinos around the country will
introduce the Total Rewards Entertainment Package with a themed promotion
beginning in early October. Customers who join Total Rewards at any time
during a participating casino's promotional period will receive a game
piece that may contain an embedded code to win a fabulous to visit one of
Harrah's destination resorts. Among the available prizes are tickets to see
Cher or Bette Midler at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a trip to a London
Clubs International casino in the United Kingdom, a Mardi Gras experience
in New Orleans or an alpine getaway in Lake Tahoe.

    All Total Rewards members can obtain game pieces on select promotional
dates at participating casinos; each member is eligible for one game piece
on each promotional date that they visit a participating casino. No
purchase or play is necessary to enter the promotion.

    Total Rewards will continue to recognize its Gold, Platinum, Diamond or
Seven Stars members, and current members now have more ways to earn Credits
to advance them to the next tier.

    Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. is the world's largest provider of branded
casino entertainment. Since its beginning in Reno, Nevada, more than 70
years ago, Harrah's has grown through development of new properties,
