Property Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Property EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA are not Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measurements but are commonly used in the gaming industry as measures of performance and as bases for valuation of gaming companies and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, as a measure of compliance with certain debt covenants. Reconciliations of Property EBITDA to income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations are attached to this release.

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.

The company's third-quarter income from operations was $349.6 million, compared with $577.2 million in the 2007 third quarter. The net loss for the 2008 third quarter was $129.7 million, compared with net income of $244.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2008 declined 4.3 percent to $7.85 billion from $8.20 billion in the first nine months of 2007. Income from operations totaled $1.07 billion in the 2008 first nine months, compared with $1.51 billion in the prior-year period. The net loss for the first nine months of 2008 was $415.1 million, compared with net income of $667.2 million in the first nine months of 2007.

"The economic upheaval weighing on the country continued to impact our results throughout the third quarter," said Gary Loveman, Harrah's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "While we're hopeful the federal government's recent actions to restore order to the financial markets may lead to an eventual economic recovery, there is no certainty as to its timing.

"As a result, we believe it's prudent to ensure our costs remain aligned with reduced levels of business activity and that we conserve cash," Loveman said.

"Reduced spending by visitors to Las Vegas and the closure of our Gulf Coast properties in advance of Hurricane Ike also impacted third-quarter results," Loveman said. "But our ability to outperform our competition in certain markets once again demonstrated the benefits of operating the most geographically diverse portfolio of properties in gaming. In particular, results from the opening of the $485 million expansion at Horseshoe Hammond midway through the third quarter were strong."

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-January 2008 swap of certain properties between HOC and Harrah's Entertainment that was consummated during the 2008 second quarter actually occurred on January 1, 2007.

    Summaries of results by region follow:

Las Vegas Region

Third-quarter results for the company's Las Vegas Region were lower than in the year-ago quarter due to reduced visitation and lower customer spend per trip. Nine-month declines were driven by lower spend per trip and fewer hotel rooms available due to room remodeling and remediation projects at three Harrah's properties.

Atlantic City Region

Lower third-quarter results were due primarily to reduced visitor volume and higher operating costs, partially offset by favorable results at Harrah's Atlantic City, which benefited from a recent expansion.

Nine-month revenues were slightly higher due to the inclusion of Harrah's Chester and a strong performance at Harrah's Atlantic City, which opened its expansion in phases during the first half of the year. Income from operations was affected by the Atlantic City smoking restrictions, competition from slot parlors in feeder markets and higher operating costs.

Louisiana/Mississippi Region

Combined third-quarter results declined for the Louisiana/Mississippi Region due to temporary hurricane-related evacuations and property closures. Income from operations declined in the 2008 third quarter from the year-ago period, which included $61.1 million of insurance proceeds.

Combined nine-month revenues decreased due to lower visitor volume in the Tunica market and the impact of disruptions during the renovations at the former Grand Tunica. Income from operations for the first nine months of 2008 included $185.4 million of insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of impacted assets, costs and expenses related to 2005 hurricanes, while the 2007 nine-month income from operations includes $116.9 million of such insurance proceeds.

Iowa/Missouri Region

Combined third-quarter and nine-month revenues were lower than in the year-ago periods due primarily to competition from a new facility that opened in the St. Louis market. Income from operations was higher in the 2008 third quarter as a result of cost savings and lower depreciation and amortization resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation in connection with the merger.

Illinois/Indiana Region

The opening of a major renovation and expansion at Horseshoe Hammond on August 8 helped partially offset the impact of a smoking ban in Illinois that led to lower 2008 third-quarter and nine-month results in the Illinois/Indiana Region. The nine-month numbers were also impacted by heavy rains and flooding that lead to the closure of our Southern Indiana property, now known as Horseshoe Southern Indiana, for four days in March 2008.

Other Nevada Region

Third-quarter and nine-month results for the Other Nevada Region declined due to lower spend per trip and higher promotional costs in the Reno and Laughlin markets, and increased competition in Reno.

Managed/International/Other

Third-quarter and nine-month 2008 results were impacted by a $12.6 million charge to recognize the remaining exposure under a lease agreement for office space no longer utilized by the company in Memphis, and a smoking ban in the United Kingdom, a lower table-games hold percentage and higher gaming taxes, all of which affected London Clubs International operations. Also impacting results were lower management fees due to the impact of the economy on our managed properties and a change in the fee structure at one of our managed properties. Nine-month results were also affected by termination of a Native American management contract in June 2007.

Other items

Interest expense increased significantly from the 2007 third quarter and nine months due to higher debt levels associated with the company's acquisition, which was consummated in the 2008 first quarter. Interest expense in the 2008 third quarter and nine months, respectively, includes a credit of $14.0 million and a charge of $66.9 million representing changes in the fair- market values of derivative instruments. The average interest rate on the company's variable-rate debt, including the impact of the derivative instruments, was 5.79 percent at September 30, 2008.

Third-quarter 2008 results also included gains of $7.4 million due to the early extinguishments of debt.

For the 2008 third quarter, tax benefits were generated by operating losses at an effective rate of 26.1 percent, whereas in the 2007 third quarter operating income resulted in tax expenses at an effective rate of 38.4 percent.

The company performs its annual assessment of intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. The company's annual budget and forecasting process is also completed in the fourth quarter and provides key inputs into the impairment analysis. The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 call for interim testing if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. An example of an event is a significant adverse change in the business climate, which the company believes has occurred during the third quarter. Given that the purchase price allocation related to the merger has not yet been finalized and that other key inputs that support the impairment analysis are not yet available, it was not reasonably possible to develop an estimate of any potential impairment in the third quarter. The allocation of the purchase price related to the merger and the annual impairment analysis will be completed during the fourth quarter. Management believes there is reasonable possibility that the completion of these activities will result in a non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter. Management cannot reasonably estimate the amount of the charge until the analysis is completed.

    (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 accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles.  All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same
          manner.  As a result, Property EBITDA as presented by our Company
          may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
          other companies.

                 RECONCILIATION OF EBITDA TO 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.

    The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah's
Entertainment, Inc. for the Successor period for three months ended September
30, 2008.

                        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 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 September 30, 2008 and takes into consideration the CMBS Spin-Off, the London Clubs Transfer and the Post-Close CMBS exchange:

    (4) Reflects the removal of the operating results of the CMBS properties,
        pursuant to the CMBS Transaction 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 $9.7 million that was unallocated at September 30, 2007.
        Following the Merger, many of these services will continue to be
        provided by HOC pursuant to a shared services agreement with the CMBS
        properties.

    (2) Represents the financial information of (i) all subsidiaries of
        Harrah's Entertainment that are not a component of HOC, namely,
        captive insurance companies and London Clubs and its subsidiaries; and
        (ii) accounts at Harrah's Entertainment.
    (3) Represents the historical financial information of HOC.
    (4) Reflects the removal of the operating results of the CMBS properties,
        pursuant to the CMBS Transaction 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.

    (1) Represents the financial information of Harrah's Entertainment.
    (2) Represents the financial information of (i) all subsidiaries of
        Harrah's Entertainment that are not a component of HOC, namely,
        captive insurance companies and London Clubs and its subsidiaries; and
        (ii) accounts at Harrah's Entertainment.
    (3) Represents the historical financial information of HOC.
    (4) Reflects the removal of the operating results of the CMBS properties,
        pursuant to the CMBS Transaction 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 $28.7 million that was unallocated at September 30, 2007.
        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.
