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.

Illinois/Indiana Region

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.

Other Nevada Region

First-quarter revenues and Property EBITDA for the Other Nevada Region declined due to weakness in the Reno and Laughlin markets and the opening of an expansion at a competing property in Reno.

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.

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.

Persons from the United States and Canada who are interested in participating in the call should dial 1-877-876-8924, or 1-706-758-4271 for international callers, approximately 10 minutes before the call start time.

         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.

                        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.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. 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:

                        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:

    (1)  Represents the historical financial information of Harrah's
         Entertainment.
    (2)  Represents the historical financial information of (i) all
         subsidiaries of Harrah's Entertainment that have historically not
         been 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 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
         subject to regulatory approval.
