This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. These statements contain words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,”
“estimate,” “continue” or “pursue,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. In particular, they include statements
relating to, among other things, future actions, new projects, strategies, future performance, the outcomes of contingencies and future
financial results of Harrah’s. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and
uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, the actual performance of Harrah’s may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors, as
well as other factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the sections
entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained therein): the
effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and on the gaming and hotel industries
in particular; construction factors, including delays, increased costs for labor and materials, availability of labor and materials, zoning issues,
environmental restrictions, soil and water conditions, weather and other hazards, site access matters and building permit issues; the effects of
environmental and structural building conditions relating to our properties; access to available and reasonable financing on a timely basis; the
ability to timely and cost-effectively integrate Caesars into our operations; changes in laws, including increased tax rates, regulations or
accounting standards, third-party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts, regulators and governmental bodies; litigation outcomes
and judicial actions, including gaming legislative action, referenda and taxation; the ability of our customer-tracking, customer loyalty and
yield-management programs to continue to increase customer loyalty and same store sales or hotel sales; our ability to recoup costs of capital
investments through higher revenues; acts of war or terrorist incidents or natural disasters; abnormal gaming holds; and the effects of
competition, including locations of competitors and operating and market competition.
Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the
date made. Harrah’s disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release.
