THE COMPANY

Overview of the Company

NGA HoldCo, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (the Company), was formed on January 8, 2007 by the filing of its articles of organization with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Company was formed at the direction of
Newport Global Opportunities Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the Newport Fund), and an affiliate of Newport Global Advisors LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Newport). The Company was formed for the primary purpose
of holding equity, directly or indirectly through affiliates, in one or more entities related to the gaming industry. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, NGA Blocker, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Blocker), and
AcquisitionCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (AcquisitionCo), each of which was formed on January 8, 2007.

The
Company has had no revenue generating business since inception. Its current business plan consists of its acquisition, through a wholly owned subsidiary, of a 17.0359% equity interest in Eldorado Resorts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(Resorts), which occurred on December 14, 2007. The 17.0359% interest acquired includes the following:



| |  |  | a new 14.47% interest that was acquired directly from Resorts, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a previously outstanding 3% interest (that, as a result of the issuance of the new 14.47% interest, was reduced to a 2.5659% interest) that was acquired from Donald
L. Carano (Carano), the presiding member of Resorts Board of Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Resorts.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon completion of the transaction, the other 82.9641% interest continued to be owned by the members of Resorts owning the interest prior to the completion of the transaction, including Carano or members of his family
who continue to own directly or indirectly approximately 51% of Resorts. For additional information concerning the ownership of the 82.9641% interest, see the footnote to the diagram on page 5.

Resorts was formed in 1996 and became the successor to a predecessor partnership that constructed the original Eldorado Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada
(as subsequently expanded, the Eldorado-Reno) which opened for business in 1973. Resorts owns and operates the Eldorado-Reno. Through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Resorts also owns all of the partnership interest, other than certain
rights associated with the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and Preferred Return (as these terms are defined in the partnership agreement) of the partnership that owns, and operates pursuant to a management agreement,
the Eldorado Shreveport Hotel and Casino in Shreveport, Louisiana (the Eldorado-Shreveport). Eldorado Limited Liability Company (ELLC), a Nevada limited liability company 96.1858% owned by Resorts, is a 50% joint venture
partner in a general partnership that owns and operates the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (Silver Legacy), a hotel and casino property adjacent to Eldorado-Reno. Resorts also owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack Junction, a small casino in
south Reno. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Resorts had net revenue of $284.8 million and net loss of $(11.1) million compared with net revenue of $285.1 million and net income of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other than its equity interest in Resorts and any indirect interest it may subsequently hold in another entity by virtue of its equity
interest in Resorts, the Company has no current plans to acquire, directly or indirectly through affiliates, an equity interest in another entity.

Formed in 2005, Newport is a Texas-based investment management firm with approximately 600 million in assets committed to pursuing alternative fixed income strategies. The firm concentrates primarily on the stressed and distressed
opportunities within the high yield debt and bank loan markets but may also include the acquisition and disposition of other types of corporate securities and claims. Newport has 9 employees, with its primary office in The Woodlands, TX.
Newports principals include Timothy T. Janszen, CEO, Thomas R. Reeg, Senior Managing Director, Ryan Langdon, Senior Managing Director, and Roger A. May, Senior Managing Director. Collectively, the principals have over 50 years of experience
investing in the high yield and distressed debt

markets. Newport is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
Newport is investment manager of the Newport Fund, a private investment fund which seeks attractive long-term risk adjusted returns by capitalizing on investments in the distressed debt markets and in some instances, ultimately making
control-oriented investments. The Newport Fund began investing in 2006.

Ownership of the Company

The Company currently has one issued and outstanding Class A Unit, representing all of its voting equity, which is held by NGA VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (VoteCo). All of the Companys 9,999 issued and outstanding Class B Units, representing all of its non-voting equity, are held by NGA No VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(InvestCo). VoteCo is owned by Thomas R. Reeg, Timothy T. Janszen and Ryan Langdon, each of whom owns a 30% interest, and Roger A. May, who owns a 10% interest. We refer to Messrs. Reeg, Janszen, Langdon and May collectively as the
VoteCo Equityholders. InvestCo is owned by the Newport Fund, which holds all of InvestCos issued and outstanding voting securities. At present, the Company has no plans to issue any additional Class A Units or Class B Units.

The VoteCo Equityholders, through VoteCo, control all matters of the Company that are subject to the vote of members, including the
appointment and removal of managers. Each of the VoteCo Equityholders is a member of the Companys board of managers, and Mr. Reeg is the Companys operating manager who has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company.
The Class B Units issued to InvestCo allow it and its investors to invest in the Company without having any voting power or power to control the operations or affairs of the Company, except as otherwise required by law. If InvestCo and its investors
had any of the power to control the operations or affairs of the Company afforded to holders of the Class A Units, they and their respective constituent equityholders would generally be required, in connection with the Companys investment
in Resorts, to be licensed or found suitable under the gaming laws and regulations of the State of Nevada as well as various local regulations in that state.

VoteCo, InvestCo, the Company and each of the Companys two wholly owned subsidiaries, Blocker and AcquisitionCo, are managed by Thomas R. Reeg, the operating manager of each entity. The Company, Blocker and
AcquisitionCo, as well as Resorts, are all limited liability companies. Consequently, absent an election by one or more of those entities to be treated for Federal income tax purposes as a corporation, the Companys investors would be required
to report as income for Federal tax purposes their allocable shares of Resorts income. However, Blocker has elected to be taxed as a corporation. Because of that election, Blocker is a separately taxed, non-flow through entity that is taxed on
the income of its 100% owned subsidiary, AcquisitionCo, including AcquisitionCos allocable share of Resorts income subsequent to the consummation of the Resorts transaction, rather than the Companys investors. To the extent that
Blocker distributes its net income to the Company, the members of the Company will be responsible for Federal and any applicable state income taxes on their allocable shares of those distributions as well as their allocable shares of any income
generated by the Company itself.

The Resorts Transaction

The Company acquired a 17.0359% interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007 pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (the Purchase
Agreement), a copy of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this annual report. The parties to the Purchase Agreement are Resorts, AcquisitionCo, which is the subsidiary through which the Company acquired its interest in Resorts,
and Carano, the presiding member of Resorts Board of Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Resorts from whom a portion of the 17.0359% interest was acquired. As a result of the transaction, the Company owns indirectly through its
subsidiaries 17.0359% of Resorts and Carano or members of his family own directly or indirectly approximately 51% of Resorts and Carano continues in the roles in the management of Resorts he held prior to the transaction.

At closing, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired its 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts,
including a 14.47% new membership interest acquired directly from Resorts and a previously outstanding 3% membership interest (reduced as a result of the issuance of the new membership interest to a 2.5659% interest) that was acquired from Carano.
In consideration for its interest in Resorts, AcquisitionCo



| |  |  | transferred to Resorts, free and clear of any liens, ownership of $31,133,250 original principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds due 2012 co-issued by Eldorado
Casino Shreveport Joint Venture, a Louisiana general partnership that owns Eldorado-Shreveport (the Louisiana Partnership), and Shreveport Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership (the Shreveport
Bonds) together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transferred to Carano, free and clear of any liens, $6,912,113 original principal amount of Shreveport Bonds together with the right to all interest paid with
respect thereto after the closing date and a stock equity interest representing a capital contribution amount of $286,889 issued by Shreveport Gaming Holdings, Inc., a limited partner of the Louisiana Partnership that is not affiliated with Resorts
or the Company.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At closing, Resorts and Carano paid to AcquisitionCo in cash $1,142,974 and $170,658, respectively,
representing accrued and unpaid interest on the Shreveport Bonds received by them.

The terms of the Purchase Agreement entitled Resorts,
prior to or immediately following the Companys acquisition of its interest in Resorts, to make a distribution of up to $10 million to the members of Resorts other than Acquisition Co. On July 25, 2007, Resorts made a $10 million
distribution to its then current members in accordance with these terms of the Purchase Agreement. The distribution was funded through borrowings under Resorts credit facility.

Put and Call Rights

At the time of closing under the Purchase Agreement, AcquisitionCo and the current members of Resorts entered into an amendment and restatement of Resorts operating agreement (the Resorts Operating
Agreement). Under the terms of the Resorts Operating Agreement, at any time after the occurrence of a Material Event (as defined) or at any time after June 14, 2015 (the Trigger Date) AcquisitionCo or its permitted
assignee(s) (the Interest Holder) will have the right to sell (Put) all but not less than all the new 14.47% interest acquired from Resorts to Resorts, and Resorts will have the right to purchase (Call) all but
not less than all of the entire 17.0359% interest acquired by AcquisitionCo, at a price equal to the fair market value of the interest without discounts for minority ownership and lack of marketability, as determined by mutual agreement of the
Interest Holder and Resorts. In the event that after 30 days the Interest Holder and Resorts have not mutually agreed on a purchase price, the purchase price will be determined by the average of two appraisals by nationally recognized appraisers of
private companies, provided the two appraisals are within a 5% range of value based upon the lowest of the two appraisals. If the two appraisals are not within the 5% range, the purchase price will be determined by the average of a third mutually
acceptable, independent, nationally recognized appraiser of private companies and the next nearest of the first two appraisals unless the third appraisal is at the mid-point of the first two appraisals, in which event the third appraisal will be
used to established the fair market value. So long as a Material Event that entitles the Interest Holder to exercise its Put right has not occurred, AcquisitionCo will have the right to unilaterally extend the Trigger Date for up to two one-year
extension periods. Upon exercise of either the Call or the Put, the Resorts Operating Agreement provides that the transaction close within one year of the exercise of the right unless delayed for necessary approvals from applicable gaming
authorities.

As defined in the Resorts Operating Agreement, a Material Event for the purpose of allowing Resorts to exercise
the right to Call the 17.0359% interest means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material license or finding of unsuitability issued by one or more of the applicable gaming authorities with respect to Thomas R. Reeg, AcquisitionCo
or any transferee of AcquisitionCo or any affiliate of AcquisitionCo. If a Material Event occurs that permits Resorts to exercise its Call right prior to the Trigger Date, the Interest Holder will be obligated to provide carry back financing to
Resorts on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Resorts. If a Call is required or ordered by any applicable gaming authority, the Call will be on the terms provided for in the Resorts Operating Agreement, unless other terms are required by
any of the applicable gaming authorities, in which event the Call will be on those terms.

As defined in the Resorts Operating Agreement, a
Material Event for the purpose of allowing the Interest Holder to exercise the right to Put the 14.43% interest to Resorts means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material license or finding of unsuitability by any
applicable gaming authority with respect to Resorts, any affiliate of Resorts (other than AcquisitionCo or its affiliates), including, but not limited to, the Eldorado-Reno, the Eldorado-Shreveport and Silver Legacy.

At the time of closing under the Purchase Agreement, Resorts, AcquisitionCo and Carano entered into a separate put-call agreement (the Put-Call
Agreement). Under the terms of the Put-Call Agreement, the Interest Holder is entitled, if it exercises its Put right under the Resorts Operating Agreement, to require Carano to purchase from it the portion of the 17.0359% interest acquired by
AcquisitionCo from Carano. In that event, the purchase price payable by Carano will be the amount determined by multiplying the purchase price payable to the Interest Holder for the 14.47% interest, as determined in accordance with the terms of the
Resorts Operating Agreement, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the percentage interest in Resorts being sold to Carano and the denominator of which is the percentage interest in Resorts being sold to Resorts.

Resorts is subject to certain covenants under its credit facility and the indenture relating to the 9% senior notes due 2014 co-issued by Resorts and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts that impose limitations on Resorts ability to reacquire its equity interests. So long as these covenants are in effect, they will be applicable to the purchase by Resorts of the 14.47% interest in the event
the Interest Holder exercises its Put right under the Resorts Operating Agreement as well as the purchase of the 17.0359% interest in the event Resorts exercises its Call right under the Resorts Operating Agreement. Accordingly, each covenant, if
then applicable, will prohibit the purchase of the 14.47% interest or the 17.0359% interest unless the transaction, at the time it occurs, complies with the covenants provisions or any non-compliance is waived by the lenders under the credit
facility and/or the holders of the 9% notes, as applicable. In the event these covenants, or either of them, remain in effect at a time when the Interest Holder seeks to exercise its Put right or Resorts seeks to exercise its Call right, there can
be no assurance that any waivers that may then be required

---

to consummate the transaction can be obtained or that Resorts will be able to eliminate the covenant restrictions by the repayment of any indebtedness then
owed to the creditors whom the covenants are intended to benefit or otherwise.

In the event of an initial public offering by Resorts of
any of its equity securities, the Put and Call provisions described above will terminate and be of no further force and effect.

Registration Rights

In the event of a public offering by Resorts of its equity securities in which any member of Resorts is allowed to participate, the
Interest Holder will have rights under the Resorts Operating Agreement equivalent to other members of Resorts to sell the equity securities of Resorts held by the Interest Holder on a pro rata basis with the other members. At the time of closing
under the Purchase Agreement, AcquisitionCo and Resorts entered into a registration rights agreement that also grants to AcquisitionCo and its permitted assigns certain registration rights to conduct a secondary offering subsequent to any initial
public offering of the equity securities of Resorts.

Employees

The Company has no employees, other than its operating manager, Thomas R. Reeg, who receives no compensation from the Company or its subsidiaries for his services as the Companys operating manager.

ELDORADO RESORTS LLC

Introduction

In 1996, Resorts was formed and became the successor to a predecessor partnership in a reorganization in which all of the interests in the predecessor
partnership were exchanged for membership interests in Resorts. Insofar as they relate to periods prior to July 1, 1996, the effective date of the reorganization, references to Resorts are to its predecessor partnership except to the extent the
context requires otherwise. Eldorado Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation wholly owned by Resorts (Eldorado Capital), was incorporated with the sole purpose of serving as co-issuer of debt co-issued by Resorts and Eldorado Capital.
Eldorado Capital holds no significant assets and conducts no business activity. Resorts other subsidiaries include Eldorado Shreveport #l, LLC (ES#1) and Eldorado Shreveport #2 LLC, (ES#2), Nevada limited liability
companies wholly owned by Resorts, and ELLC.

Resorts owns and operates Eldorado-Reno, a premier hotel/casino and entertainment facility
centrally located in downtown Reno. Eldorado-Reno is easily accessible both to vehicular traffic from Interstate 80, the principal highway linking Reno to its primary visitor markets in northern California, and to pedestrian traffic from nearby
casinos.

ELLC is a 50% joint venture partner in a general partnership (the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) that owns Silver
Legacy. A major themed hotel/casino, Silver Legacy is situated between, and seamlessly connected at the casino level to, Eldorado-Reno and Circus Circus-Reno, a hotel casino owned and operated by the other partner in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture,
Galleon, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE (MGM).

ES#1 and ES#2 acquired 75.4% and 1%, respectively, of
the partnership interests of Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint Venture (the Louisiana Partnership) on July 22, 2005. The Louisiana Partnership owns and Resorts manages Eldorado-Shreveport, a 403-room all suite art deco-style hotel
and a tri-level riverboat dockside casino complex situated on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana that was formerly operated as the Hollywood Casino Shreveport. Pursuant to the terms of the Louisiana Partnerships partnership agreement, in
December 2007 the Louisiana Partnership called the 23.6% partnership interest then held by a third unaffiliated partner at a call purchase price of $9,263,426 subject to receipt of the requisite regulatory approval from the Louisiana gaming
authorities. As a result of the call transaction, which closed on March 20, 2008, ES#1 and ES#2 now own 98.7% and 1.3%, respectively, of the Louisiana Partnerships partnership interest, representing all of the Louisiana Partnerships
partnership interests other than certain rights associated with the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and Preferred Return (as these terms are defined in the partnership agreement).

---

Resorts also owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack Crossing, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company that
owns and operates Tamarack Junction, a small casino in south Reno which commenced operations September 4, 2001. Tamarack Junction is situated on approximately 62,000 square feet of land with 13,000 square feet of gaming space that had 459 slot
machines at December 31, 2008.

Management of Resorts

Resorts board of managers (the Resorts Board) is currently composed of four managers, including AcquisitionCo and three managers of Resorts who were managers prior to the Resorts transaction, Donald
L. Carano, Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (REI), and Hotel-Casino Management, Inc. (HCM). Under the terms of the Resorts Operating Agreement, AcquisitionCo is deemed to have designated Thomas R. Reeg as its current
representative for all determinations made by the Resorts Board. REI and HCM is deemed to have designated Gary L. Carano and Raymond J. Poncia, Jr., respectively, as their current representatives on the Resorts Board. So long as they remain managers
of Resorts, AcquisitionCo, REI and HCM may change their respective representatives on the Resorts Board from time to time by notice to Resorts.

As long as AcquisitionCo or an affiliate of AcquisitionCo continues to be a member of Resorts, AcquisitionCo will designate one of Resorts managers. As long as REI or an affiliate of REI continues to be a member of Resorts, REI will
be entitled to designate three of Resorts managers. Currently, there are only two REI designated managers, REI and Donald L. Carano. A third REI designated manager, Leslie Stone Heisz, resigned effective March 2008, and, as of the date hereof,
REI has not designated a replacement. As long as HCM or an affiliate of HCM continues to be a member of Resorts, HCM is entitled to designate one of Resorts managers. Generally, any manager of Resorts may be removed from office with cause upon
a vote of more than 50% of Resorts membership interests.

Subject to the limitations described below, and except as otherwise
delegated to Resorts Chief Executive Officer (the Resorts CEO), the Resorts Board has control over the management of the business and affairs of Resorts. Each manager has one vote and actions of the Resorts Board generally require
a majority vote of the managers. The members of the Resorts Board are required to be licensed or found suitable by the relevant Nevada and Louisiana gaming authorities in order to engage in the management of Resorts. For further information about
these licensing and suitability requirements, see Governmental Regulation  Nevada Regulation and Licensing and  Louisiana Regulation and Licensing, below.

Under the Resorts Operating Agreement, the Resorts CEO is given the general powers and duties of management usually vested in the chief executive officer
of a corporation along with such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Resorts Board or the Resorts Operating Agreement, including the supervision, direction and control of the day-to-day business and affairs of Resorts. In addition to
the general authority, the Resorts CEO has the following specific rights which may be exercised on behalf of Resorts:



| |  |  | to develop, improve, maintain, operate and lease Resorts property;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in any single transaction or series of related transactions having a value of under $5,000,000, on behalf of Resorts, to contract to sell, sell, lease, exchange,

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to select and remove such officers, agents and employees of Resorts to assist with the management or operation of Resorts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



8



---

| |  |  | to employ and terminate the services of such persons, firms, corporations or other entities, including any one or more of Resorts members, for or in

administrative services, accounting services, independent auditing services, legal and other services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to institute, prosecute, defend and settle any legal or administrative proceedings having an actual or potential value of under $5,000,000;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in any single transaction or series of related transactions having a value of under $5,000,000 to acquire real or tangible personal property to carry on the
business of Resorts, and to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the same; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in any single transaction or series of related transactions having a value of under $5,000,000 to enter into loans, mortgages and other financing arrangements or
rearrangements, and to grant such security interests in the assets of Resorts, as may be necessary or desirable to carry on the business.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without the affirmative vote or written consent of all of Resorts members, neither the Resorts Board nor the Resorts CEO may directly or indirectly:



| |  |  | do any act in contravention of the Resorts Operating Agreement;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | do any act that would make it impossible to carry on Resorts ordinary business, provided that actions of the managers in accordance with Resorts
purposes or the rights and powers granted under the Resorts Operating Agreement will not be considered to breach this provision; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | commingle funds of Resorts with funds of any other person.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

Without the affirmative vote or written consent of members holding 65% of Resorts outstanding membership interests, neither the Resorts Board nor the Resorts CEO may directly or indirectly:

Business Strategy

Resorts has an experienced
management team that includes Donald Carano and several members of his immediate family. Donald Carano, the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Managers of Resorts, co-founded Eldorado-Reno in 1973 and has been the driving force
behind its development. In addition to Donald Carano, each of Resorts other seven senior executives has in excess of 25 years of experience in the gaming industry. The day-to-day management of Eldorado-Shreveport is performed by on-sight
personnel that Resorts has hired on behalf of the Louisiana Partnership. By the terms of the Eldorado-Shreveport management agreement, Resorts is obligated to provide oversight of on-site management by no less than three of its executives or other
individuals it designates. The individuals who currently serve in this capacity are Gary Carano, Gregg Carano, Rhonda Carano, Robert Jones and Rob Mouchou. In their oversight roles, these executives have dedicated time to assist in the management of
Eldorado-Shreveport and will continue to do so in the future, but to date their oversight responsibilities have not had, nor is it anticipated that they will have, an impact on operations at Eldorado-Reno. In addition to their roles in the
management of Resorts, members of the Carano family beneficially own currently approximately 51% of Resorts.

Resorts business
strategy draws upon its extensive gaming management experience gained from successfully operating Eldorado-Reno. Key elements of Resorts strategy include the following:

Personal Service and High Quality Amenities. One of the cornerstones of Resorts business strategy is to provide its customers with an
extraordinary level of personal service. Resorts senior management is actively involved in the daily operations of Eldorado-Reno, frequently interacting with hotel, restaurant and gaming patrons to ensure that they are receiving the highest
level of personal attention. Resorts management regularly conducts feedback sessions and focus groups with customers to elicit comments and suggestions on ways it can improve each customers experience at Eldorado-Reno. Furthermore,
Resorts management continually strives to instill in each employee a dedication to superior service designed to exceed guests expectations.

In addition to personalized service, Eldorado-Reno has earned a reputation for high quality amenities and an excellent price-to-value relationship. Locals and visitors alike are attracted to Eldorado-Renos
dining venues, for which Eldorado-Reno has received national recognition. Management believes that Eldorado-Renos excellent cuisine adds to the overall atmosphere and prestige of the hotel and therefore emphasizes outstanding food and ambiance
and a wide variety of dining choices.

Eldorado-Reno continually monitors its casino operations to react to changing market conditions and
customer demands. Resorts targets premium-play customers as well as the value-conscious gaming patron with its state-of-the-art casino featuring the latest in game technology, electronic displays and customer-convenient features.

Marketing to Target Gaming Patrons. Resorts primarily targets its marketing programs to four segments of the gaming market: the free and
independent traveler, preferred casino customers, local patrons and the wholesale/specialty groups.

The free and independent traveler
segment consists of those travelers not affiliated with groups who make their reservations directly with Eldorado-Reno or through independent travel agents. To attract the independent traveler to Eldorado-Reno, Resorts uses print media, radio,
television and direct mail to advertise in northern California, the Pacific Northwest and other regional travel markets.

Preferred casino
customers are those patrons who maintain the necessary level of gaming activity to become established casino guests. Resorts uses a special events agenda and a guest development program, including providing casino credit, to attract and retain
preferred casino customers. In addition, Resorts utilizes Eldorado-Renos quality hotel rooms, excellent restaurant venues and other amenities to offer complimentaries to a broad spectrum of established casino guests, from the frequent players
who place relatively modest wagers to the premium players who consistently wager high amounts. Resorts believes that the ability to reward the more modest gaming patrons fosters intense loyalty and repeat business.

Wholesale/specialty and Internet groups consist of those customers participating in travel packages offered by air tour operators, groups of up to 100
people with strong gaming profiles and visitors attending tournaments at the National Bowling Stadium. Eldorado-Renos sales force targets this segment by attending trade shows in order to establish relationships with airlines, travel agents,
meeting planners and wholesalers. Eldorado-Reno has developed special marketing programs and tools to cultivate relationships with these air tour operators and specialty groups, including offering familiarization tours of Eldorado-Reno.
Eldorado-Reno attempts to utilize this market segment as a means of creating a consistent utilization of its rooms during the calendar year. Internet customers, which are encompassed in this segment, continue to grow in number as more customers
utilize the Internet for its convenience and in an effort to obtain the most competitive rate.

Resorts seeks to attract and retain local
customers through frequent promotions that highlight Eldorado-Renos quality gaming and dining experience, as well as being an active supporter of numerous Reno market events and organizations.

Eldorado-Reno has a state-of-the-art, real-time customer tracking system which comprehensively tracks its gaming customers throughout the casino.
Customers are given an electronically readable card to insert into slot machines and to provide to floor supervisors at table games. The slot machines automatically transmit gaming data to a central computer and floor supervisors manually enter
certain data relating to gaming customers which is then computerized. In 2002, Eldorado-Reno enhanced its customer tracking program with the purchase of several computerized gaming tables. This technologically advanced product, along with the slot
tracking system, provides data relating to gaming customers gaming habits, maximum and minimum wagers, the total amount wagered and length of play and assists in better providing customers with prompt recognition and complimentaries based on
their levels of gaming. In 2002, Eldorado-Reno enhanced the way its customers can redeem earned complimentaries available for redemption throughout the property. This innovation is enhanced by a friendly, knowledgeable staff and a conveniently
located promotion center. In addition, Club Eldorado, Eldorado-Renos full-service slot club, offers an array of special events and exciting tournaments and convenient ways of earning complimentaries.

The cost incurred by Resorts for advertising in 2008 was $6,921,000 compared with $7,080,000 in 2007.

Strategic Expansion and Improvements. Since opening Eldorado-Reno in 1973, Resorts has employed a strategy of periodic expansion and improvement
in order to maintain and enhance Eldorado-Renos position as a leader in the Reno area. Continuing this strategy, Eldorado-Reno is constantly updating its property in order to maintain its presence as one of the premier hotels in the Reno area.
In November 2006, Eldorado-Reno built an imaginative bar featuring a lounge and VIP seating area adjacent to its La Strada restaurant. This project also created two new private dining areas designed to accommodate parties and additional dining space
in the La Strada restaurant. The bar and additional seating were completed in February 2007. In January 2009, the BuBinga nightclub was converted into a high limit gaming room. This gaming area, with two elegant bars and numerous plasma televisions,
is the only one of its kind in northern Nevada.

Resorts owns a 31,000 square foot piece of property across the street from and west of Eldorado-Reno
which could be used for further expansion of Eldorado-Reno and two other adjacent parcels totaling approximately 18,687 square feet which are currently utilized as surface parking that accommodates approximately 140 vehicles but could be used for
further expansion of Eldorado-Reno. In August 2007, Resorts purchased a small motel located adjacent to the Eldorado-Renos parking garage which was subsequently closed and there are no current plans to reopen.

Eldorado-Reno

Eldorado-Reno is centrally positioned
in the heart of Renos prime gaming area and room base. Easily accessible to both foot and vehicular traffic, Eldorado-Reno is strategically located directly off Interstate 80, the principal highway linking the Reno market with San Francisco,
Sacramento and other cities in its primary visitor market of northern California. With three towers, including a 26-story tower that lights up with over 2,000 feet of neon at night, Eldorado-Reno is visible from Interstate 80, attracting visitors to
the downtown area and generating interest in the property. Eldorado-Reno is situated to attract foot traffic from other casinos as well as from the local populace. In addition, Eldorado-Reno is easily accessible to visitors competing in and
attending the various bowling tournaments that are held in the National Bowling Stadium and to visitors attending events in the downtown special event center, completed in December 2004, and the downtown ballroom, completed in February 2008, all of
which are located just one block away.

As of December 31, 2008, Eldorado-Reno
offered approximately 76,500 square feet of gaming space, with approximately 1,422 slot machines, 50 table games consisting of blackjack, craps, roulette, Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride®,
Caribbean stud poker, mini-baccarat, two keno games and a poker room. Eldorado-Renos casino includes a mix of slot machines and table games which management believes makes it attractive to both middle-income and premium-play customers. Slot
machines, which are offered in denominations from 1 cent to $100, generated approximately 64% of Eldorado-Renos total gaming revenues in 2008. A diverse selection of table games and a variety of table limits encourage play from a wide range of
gaming customers, which management believes makes Eldorado-Reno one of the premier table games casinos in the Reno market.

The interior of
the hotel is designed to create a European ambiance and offers 815 finely-appointed guest rooms and suites, including 17 specialty suites, 93 Eldorado-Reno Players Spa Suites with bedside spas and 26 one- or two-bedroom penthouse
suites. Hotel guests enjoy panoramic views of Renos skyline and the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range. In 2008 and 2007, Eldorado-Reno achieved average hotel occupancy of 84.1% and 85.1%, respectively. In 2008, Eldorado-Reno achieved an
Average Daily Rate (ADR) of approximately $66.35 compared with $74.29 in 2007.

Eldorado-Reno is nationally recognized for its
cuisine. Its seven dining venues, which have an aggregate seating capacity of more than 1,300, range from buffet to gourmet and offer high quality food at reasonable prices.

Eldorado-Renos dining venues include the following:



| |  |  | Roxys, which has a seating capacity of approximately 254, is a Parisian-style bistro, restaurant and bar with contemporary American influences
offering French country fare, steaks and seafood along with an extensive wine list;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | La Strada, features northern Italian cuisine in an Italian countryside villa setting, and has a seating capacity of approximately 164;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Brew Brothers, which has a seating capacity of approximately 190, was the first microbrewery located in a hotel/casino;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12



---

| |  |  | The Prime Rib Grill, which has a seating capacity of approximately 186, is a spirited, lively steak and seafood house specializing in prime rib and
grilled entrees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Buffet, which has a seating capacity of approximately 340, offers a 200-foot buffet offering a variety of cuisines, including American, Italian,
Chinese, Mexican, Hop Wok grill, a pizza station and salad, fruit and ice cream bars;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Tivoli Gardens, which has a seating capacity of approximately 210, offering a 24-hour-a-day restaurant with a menu featuring Asian, Italian, Mexican

| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eldorado-Renos selection of high-quality food and beverages reflects the Carano familys emphasis on the
dining experience. Eldorado-Reno chefs utilize homemade pasta, carefully chosen imported ingredients, fresh seafood and top quality USDA choice cuts of beef. Throughout the property, beverage offerings include The Brew Brothers microbrewed beers and
wines from the Ferrari-Carano Winery.

Eldorado-Reno features a 566-seat showroom a cabaret on the casino floor and a VIP lounge. Other
amenities offered by Eldorado-Reno include two retail shops, a versatile 12,400 square foot convention center and an outdoor plaza located diagonal to Eldorado-Reno which hosts a variety of special events. Eldorado-Reno has parking facilities for
over 1,130 vehicles including a 643-space self-park garage, a 124-space surface parking lot and a 363-space valet parking facility.

Due to
a number of factors affecting consumers, including a slowdown in the global economy, contracting credit markets, and reduced consumer spending, 2008 was a difficult year for the casino resort business. Visitation to the Reno area was down over
200,000 from 2007 and airline passengers to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport declined by 12.1%, resulting in lower casino volumes and a reduced demand for hotel rooms. The deterioration in economic conditions will likely continue causing
Eldorado-Reno to compete more aggressively for customers with the seven other hotel-casinos that, like the Eldorado-Reno, each generates at least $36 million in annual gaming revenues, including the Silver Legacy.

Silver Legacy Resort Casino

Silver Legacy opened in
July 1995 as the first major newly-constructed hotel/casino in the Reno market since 1978. Silver Legacys hotel, the tallest building in northern Nevada, is a Y-shaped structure with three wings, consisting of 37-, 34- and 31-floor
tiers. Silver Legacys opulent interior showcases a casino built around a 120-foot tall mining rig, which appears to mine for silver. The rig is situated beneath a 180-foot diameter dome, which is a distinctive landmark on the Reno skyline. The
interior surface of the dome features dynamic sound and laser light shows, providing visitors with a unique experience when they are in the casino.

Silver Legacy is situated on two city blocks, encompassing 240,000 square feet in downtown Reno.
The hotel currently offers 1,710 guest rooms, including 141 player spa suites, eight penthouse suites and seven hospitality suites. Many of Silver Legacys guest rooms feature views of Renos skyline and the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Silver Legacys 10-story parking facility can accommodate approximately 1,750 vehicles. At December 31, 2008, Silver Legacys casino had approximately 87,300 square feet of gaming space with 1,623 slot machines and 64 table games,
including blackjack, craps, roulette, Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride®, Baccarat and Pai Gow, a keno lounge and a race and sports book. Club Legacy, Silver Legacys slot club,

Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy, and

properties and house several restaurants and retail shops. Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus-Reno comprise the heart of the Reno markets prime gaming area and room base, providing the most extensive and the broadest variety of
gaming, entertainment, lodging and dining amenities in the Reno area, with an aggregate of 4,097 rooms, 20 restaurants and enough parking to accommodate approximately 6,000 vehicles, and as of December 31, 2008, approximately 4,136 slot
machines and 149 table games.

A new city-owned 50,000 square-foot ballroom facility was opened in February 2008, and is operated and
managed by Silver Legacy, together with Eldorado-Reno and Circus Circus-Reno, and complements the existing Reno Events Center. It provides an elegant venue for large dinner functions and convention meeting space along with concert seating for
approximately 3,000 attendees.

Silver Legacy Joint Venture

| |  |  | An amount equal to the estimated taxable income of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture allocable to each Silver Legacy Partner multiplied by the greater of the maximum

The Executive Committee. An executive committee of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture is authorized
to review, monitor and oversee the performance of the management of Silver Legacy. The executive committee of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture consists of five members, with three members appointed by the managing partner and two members appointed by
the other Silver Legacy Partner. In the event that neither of the Silver Legacy Partners is the managing partner, then the executive committee shall consist of five members, with two members appointed by each Silver Legacy Partner and a fifth member
appointed by a third party manager selected by the Silver Legacy Partners. Each Silver Legacy Partner may, at any time, appoint alternate members to the executive committee and the alternates will have all the powers of a regular committee member in
the event of the absence or inability of a regular committee member to serve. With the exception of the special voting procedures described below, each member of the executive committee is entitled to one vote on each matter decided by the executive
committee and each action of the executive committee must be approved by a majority of all of the members of the executive committee, who may be present or voting by proxy. The current members of the executive committee are James J. Murren, Frank R.
Baldwin and Gary N. Jacobs, each of whom was appointed by Mandalay Sub, and Robert M. Jones and Gene R. Carano, each of whom was appointed by ELLC.

Subject to the requirement of unanimous approval of the Silver Legacy Partners for certain actions, the duties of the executive committee include, but are not limited to, (i) reviewing, adjusting, approving, developing, and supervising
the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures annual business plan, (ii) reviewing and approving the terms of any loans made to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (iii) approving all material purchases, sales, leases or other dispositions of Silver
Legacy Joint Venture property, other than in the ordinary course of business, and (iv) approving the appointment of the General Manager, who is the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures Chief Executive Officer, and the Controller, who is the

The Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement provides special voting procedures for (i) the executive committees approval of the annual business plan, (ii) the appointment of the general manager and
(iii) the determination of the general managers compensation. In voting on these matters, the members of the executive committee appointed by the managing partner shall have a total of two votes and the members of the executive committee
appointed by the other Silver Legacy Partner shall have a total of two votes. The managing partner shall designate which two of the three members of the executive committee appointed by the managing partner are to exercise the two votes. If the
executive committee is deadlocked in deciding any matter which is subject to the special voting procedures, then the meeting may be adjourned to another meeting date. If the executive committee remains deadlocked with respect to its approval of an
annual business plan until the end of the second month of the fiscal year described in the annual business plan, then either Silver Legacy Partner may by written notice cause the approval of the annual business plan to be submitted to a nationally
recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Silver Legacy Partners (the Accountant) for resolution. The Accountant shall consider the positions of the members of the executive committee and the Silver Legacy Partners, and shall
decide whether to approve the annual business plan, or to modify the annual business plan and approve it with such modifications. The decision of the Accountant on these matters shall have the same effect as the approval of the annual business plan
by the executive committee. If the executive committee remains deadlocked with respect to its approval of the appointment of a general manager for a period of one month following the effective date of the resignation or removal of the previous
general manager, then the executive committee shall assume the duties of the general manager until such time as the executive committee can reach a decision on the appointment and compensation of a new general manager. In exercising the duties of
the general manager, the executive committee shall act and vote in accordance with the special voting procedures described above. If the executive committee remains deadlocked on the determination of the compensation of the general manager for a
period of one month following the first meeting on the proposed compensation, then either Silver Legacy Partner may by written notice cause the determination of such compensation to be submitted to the Accountant for resolution. In that event, the
Accountant shall consider the positions of the executive committee, and shall adopt a compensation arrangement consistent with the position advocated by at least one member of the executive committee. The decision of the Accountant on any matter
which is subject to the special voting procedures shall be final and binding on the executive committee and the Silver Legacy Partners.

Transfer of Silver Legacy Partnership Interests. Except as expressly permitted by the Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement, neither Silver Legacy Partner may transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Silver Legacy Joint
Venture or any rights therein without the unanimous consent of both Silver Legacy Partners. The Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement provides that a Silver

Legacy Partner may transfer or convey all or any portion of its interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture to an affiliate of that Silver Legacy Partner
(subject to certain limitations), members of the Silver Legacy Partners family (which includes the Silver Legacy Partners spouse, natural or adoptive lineal descendants, and trusts for their benefit), another Silver Legacy Partner, a
personal representative of the Silver Legacy Partner or any person or entity approved by the unanimous consent of the Silver Legacy Partners.

Unless otherwise agreed by Mandalay Sub, Donald L. Carano or a member of his immediate family acceptable to Mandalay Sub, which acceptance may not be unreasonably withheld, or an affiliate controlled by Donald L. Carano or a member of his
immediate family acceptable to Mandalay Sub, which acceptance may not be unreasonably withheld, is required to be the manager of and control ELLC (or, if applicable, any entity that is a permitted transferee and to which ELLC has transferred its
interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture). Unless otherwise agreed by ELLC, which may not be unreasonably withheld, Mandalay Sub (or, if applicable, any entity that is a permitted transferee and to which Mandalay Sub has transferred its interest
in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) is required to be controlled by Mandalay Resort Group. In the event the limitation in this paragraph with respect to either Silver Legacy Partner is breached, the other Silver Legacy Partner will have the right
(but not be required) to exercise the buy-sell provisions described below.

Limitation on Silver Legacy Partners Actions. The
Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement includes each Silver Legacy Partners covenant and agreement not to (i) take any action to require partition or to compel any sale with respect to its Silver Legacy Joint Venture interest,
(ii) take any action to file a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to itself, (iii) take any action that would cause a bankruptcy of such Silver Legacy Partner, (iv) withdraw or attempt to withdraw from the
Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (v) exercise any power under the Nevada Partnership Act to dissolve the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (vi) transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture (other than as permitted
hereunder), (vii) petition for judicial dissolution of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, or (viii) demand a return of such Silver Legacy Partners contributions or profits (or a bond or other security for the return of such
contributions or profits) without the unanimous consent of the Silver Legacy Partners. The Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement also provides that if a Silver Legacy Partner attempts to (A) cause a partition or (B) withdraw from the
Silver Legacy Joint Venture or dissolve the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, or otherwise take any action in breach of its aforementioned agreements, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture shall continue and (1) the breaching Silver Legacy Partner shall
immediately cease to have the authority to act as a Silver Legacy Partner, (2) the other Silver Legacy Partner shall have the right (but shall not be obligated unless it was so obligated prior to such breach) to manage the affairs of the Silver
Legacy Joint Venture, (3) the breaching Silver Legacy Partner shall be liable in damages, without requirement of a prior accounting, to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture for all costs and liabilities that the Silver Legacy Joint Venture or any
Silver Legacy Partner may incur as a result of such breach, (4) distributions to the breaching Silver Legacy Partner shall be reduced to 75% of the distributions otherwise payable to the breaching Silver Legacy Partner and (5) the
breaching Silver Legacy Partner shall continue to be liable to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture for any obligations of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture pursuant to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement, and to be jointly and severally liable with
the other Silver Legacy Partner(s) for any debts and liabilities (whether actual or contingent, known or unknown) of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture existing at the time the breaching Silver Legacy Partner withdraws or dissolves.

Buy-Sell Provision. Either Silver Legacy Partner (provided such Silver Legacy Partner is not in default of any of the provisions of the Silver
Legacy Joint Venture Agreement) may make an offer (Offer), which will constitute an irrevocable offer by the Silver Legacy Partner giving the Offer, either to (i) purchase all, but not less than all, of the interest in the Silver
Legacy Joint Venture of the other Silver Legacy Partner free of liens and encumbrances for the amount specified in the Offer (the Sales Price), or (ii) sell all, but not less than all, of its interest in the Silver Legacy Joint
Venture free of liens and encumbrances to the other Silver Legacy Partner for the amount specified in the Offer (the Purchase Price). The Silver Legacy Partner receiving an Offer will have a period of two months to accept the Offer to
sell at the Sales Price or, in the alternative, to require that the offering Silver Legacy Partner sell its interest to the other Silver Legacy Partner at the Purchase Price. The closing of the transaction for the sale or purchase of the Silver
Legacy Joint Venture interest shall occur not later than six months after the notice of election or at such other time as may be required by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Subject to any agreements to which the Silver Legacy Joint Venture is a
party, the Silver Legacy Partner purchasing the Silver Legacy Joint Venture interest (the Purchasing Silver Legacy Partner) shall be entitled to encumber the Silver Legacy Joint Venture property in order to finance the purchase, provided
that the other Silver Legacy Partner (the Selling

---

Silver Legacy Partner) will have no liability, contingent or otherwise, under such financing. The Purchasing Silver Legacy Partner may assign all or
part of its right to purchase the Silver Legacy Joint Venture interest of the Selling Silver Legacy Partner to an affiliate of the Purchasing Silver Legacy Partner, provided that no such assignment relieves the Purchasing Silver Legacy Partner of
its obligations in the event of a default by the affiliate.

Dissolution, Winding Up and Liquidation. The Silver Legacy Joint
Venture Agreement provides that the Silver Legacy Joint Venture shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon the first to occur of any of (i) January 1, 2053, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Silver
Legacy Joint Venture property, (iii) the unanimous vote of the Silver Legacy Partners to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (iv) the happening of any other event that makes it unlawful or impossible to carry
on the business of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (v) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined the Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement) of a Silver Legacy Partner, or (vi) the Silver Legacy Partners are unable to agree upon
a replacement managing partner as provided in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement (each, a Liquidating Event).

The
Silver Legacy Joint Venture Agreement also includes the Silver Legacy Partners agreement that the Silver Legacy Joint Venture shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, notwithstanding any provision of the Nevada
Uniform Partnership Act to the contrary. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Silver Legacy Joint Venture has dissolved prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Silver Legacy Partners have agreed to continue
the business of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture without a winding up or liquidation.

Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the
Silver Legacy Joint Venture will continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Silver Legacy Partners. The managing partner will be responsible
for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, taking full account of the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures liabilities and assets, causing the assets to be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining
the fair market value thereof, and causing the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed (i) first, to the payment and discharge of all of the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures debts and liabilities
to creditors other than Silver Legacy Partners, (ii) second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures debts and liabilities to Silver Legacy Partners, and (iii) the balance, if any, to the Silver Legacy
Partners in the amount of their respective capital accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods or portions thereof.

Reno Market

Reno is the second largest metropolitan area in Nevada, with a population of
approximately 418,000 according to the most recently available U.S. census data, and is located at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains along Interstate 80, approximately 135 miles east of Sacramento, California and 225 miles east of San
Francisco, California. Reno is a destination resort market that primarily attracts drive-in visitors by offering gaming as well as numerous other summer and winter recreational activities. In addition to gaming, the Reno area features
national forests, mountains and lakes (including Lake Tahoe) and offers year-round opportunities for outdoor activities of all types. An estimated two-thirds of visitors to the Reno market arrive by some form of ground transportation. Under normal
conditions, Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy are within a 10-minute drive of the airport, making them easily accessible to visitors traveling to Reno by air.

The Reno area enjoys relatively mild weather, with abundant sunshine throughout the year and low humidity. Renos annual snowfall is modest, although heavier snowfall in the mountain passes around Reno can
obstruct traffic to Reno. Special annual events in the Reno area include Hot August Nights, the National Championship Air Races, the Reno Balloon Races, Street Vibrations, the Reno/Tahoe Open PGA golf tournament and the Reno Rodeo. According to the
Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (the Visitors Authority) and the Nevada Commission on Tourism, the greater Reno area attracted an estimated 4.8 million visitors for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 compared to an
estimated 5.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007.

The National Bowling Stadium, located approximately one block from Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy, opened in February 1995. The state-of-the-art facility, which features 80 bowling lanes, has been selected to host tournaments for the
American Bowling Congress (the ABC) and the Womens International Bowling Congress (the WIBC), which has merged with the ABC to form the United States Bowling Congress (the USBC), two of every three years
through 2018. The National Bowling Stadium, which did not host an ABC or WIBC tournament in 2008, was the site of the WIBCs National Championship Bowling Tournament in 2006 and the ABCs National Championship Bowling Tournament in 2007
and will host these tournaments again in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Through a one-time agreement, the National Bowling Stadium will also host the USBC Tournament in Reno in 2011, usually an off year for Reno. According to the Visitors Authority,
bowling tournaments held at the National Bowling Stadium attract visitors from markets that do not normally contribute substantially to Renos visitor profile. The National Bowling Stadium also features a large-screen movie theater, retail
space and can be configured to host special events and conventions.

Eldorado-Shreveport

Eldorado-Shreveport is an all suite art deco-style hotel and casino destination resort in Shreveport, Louisiana. Eldorado-Shreveport enjoys high
visibility and convenient access from Interstate 20, the major highway that connects the Shreveport market with its feeder markets of Dallas/Ft. Worth and East Texas. Eldorado-Shreveport is managed by Resorts and utilizes the same theme and
marketing and operating strategies that have been successfully implemented at Eldorado-Reno.

Eldorado-Shreveport commenced operations on
December 20, 2000. Resorts acquired an initial 76.4% interest in the partnership that owns Eldorado-Shreveport and assumed its role as manager of the property on July 22, 2005. Resorts acquired the remaining 23.6% partnership interest,
other than certain rights associated with the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and Preferred Return (as these terms are defined in the partnership agreement) on March 20, 2008. Eldorado-Shreveport consists of a
403-room, all suite hotel and a three-level riverboat dockside casino. The casino contains approximately 59,000 square feet of space with approximately 1,437 slot machines, approximately 50 table games and a poker room with 15 tables. The riverboat
casino floats in a concrete and steel basin that raises the riverboat nearly 20 feet above the river. The basin virtually eliminates variation in the water height and allows the boat to be permanently moored to the land-based pavilion.
Eldorado-Shreveports computerized pumping system is designed to regulate the water level of the basin to a variance of no more than three inches.

The centerpiece of the resort is an approximately 170,000 square foot land-based pavilion housing
numerous restaurants and entertainment amenities. An 85-foot wide seamless entrance connects the casino to the land-based pavilion on all three levels resulting in the feel of a land-based casino. The pavilion features a dramatic 60-foot high atrium
enabling patrons to see the casino floor from almost anywhere in the pavilion. Other amenities include an award-winning gourmet steakhouse, an expansive buffet, a sports-themed casual diner, a premium players club and an entertainment show
room. The pavilion also includes a deli and ice cream shop, VIP check-in, a premium quality bar, meeting rooms and a retail store.

Eldorado-Shreveport offers three parking facilities, including two parking lots and an eight-story parking garage located directly across the street and connected to the pavilion by an enclosed walkway. The three parking facilities provide
space for approximately 2,000 cars, including valet parking for approximately 340 cars.

Shreveport/Bossier City Market

Eldorado-Shreveport was built next to an existing riverboat gaming and hotel facility formerly operated by Harrahs Entertainment and now operated by
Boyd Gaming. The two casinos form the first and only cluster in the Shreveport/Bossier City market, allowing patrons to park once and easily walk between the two facilities. There are currently five casinos and a racino operating in the
Shreveport/Bossier City market, which is the largest gaming market in Louisiana. The Shreveport/Bossier City gaming market permits continuous dockside gaming without cruising requirements or simulated cruising schedules, allowing casinos to operate
24 hours a day with uninterrupted access. Based on information published by the state of Louisiana, the five casino operators and racino in the Shreveport/Bossier City market generated approximately $847.5 million in gaming revenues in 2008,
compared with approximately $844.1 million in 2007.

The principal target markets for Eldorado-Shreveport are patrons from the
Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and East Texas. It is estimated that approximately 7.2 million adults reside within approximately 200 miles of Shreveport/Bossier City. Eldorado-Shreveport is located approximately 180 miles east of Dallas and can be
reached by car in approximately three hours. Flight times are less than one hour from both Dallas and Houston to the Shreveport Regional Airport.

Competition

The gaming industry includes land-based casinos, dockside casinos, riverboat casinos, casinos located on Native
American reservations and other forms of legalized gaming. There is intense competition among companies in the gaming industry, many of which have significantly greater resources than Resorts has. Certain states have legalized casino gaming and
other states may legalize gaming in the future. Legalized casino gaming in these states and on Native American reservations near Resorts markets or changes to gaming laws in states surrounding Nevada could increase competition in the Reno
market and could adversely affect its operations. Resorts also competes to a lesser extent with gaming facilities in other jurisdictions with dockside gaming facilities, state-sponsored lotteries, on-and-off track pari-mutuel wagering, Internet
gaming, card clubs, riverboat casinos and other forms of legalized gambling.



20



---

Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy compete for customers primarily on the basis of location, range and
pricing of amenities and overall atmosphere. Of the 32 casinos currently operating in the Reno market, Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy each competes principally with the seven other hotel-casinos that, like Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy, each
generates at least $36 million in annual gaming revenues. One existing hotel/casino completed construction on an expansion of its hotel, casino, restaurants and parking facilities along with various other amenities in December 2007. There have also
been announcements of other pending expansion and/or new projects within the Reno market. At this time, Resorts cannot predict the extent to which new and proposed projects will be undertaken or the extent to which current hotel and/or casino space
may be expanded in the future nor can it determine the impact they may have on its operations. Resorts expects that any additional rooms added in the Reno market will increase competition for visitor revenue. There can be no assurance that any
growth in Renos current room base or gaming capacity will not adversely affect Resorts financial condition or results of operations. Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy also compete with hotel-casinos located in the nearby Lake Tahoe region
as well as those in Las Vegas, Nevada. A substantial number of customers travel to both Reno and the Lake Tahoe area during their visits. Consequently, Resorts believes that Eldorado-Renos success as well as that of Silver Legacy is influenced
to some degree by the success of the Lake Tahoe market. While Resorts does not anticipate a decline in the popularity of either Reno or Lake Tahoe as tourist destination areas in the foreseeable future, any such decline could adversely affect the
operations at Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy.

Land-based, riverboat, or dockside casino gaming (other than that conducted on Native
American-owned land) is currently conducted in 11 states and casino gaming on Native American-owned land is conducted in a number of states, including California, Washington, and Oregon. Resorts management believes the Reno market draws over
50% of its visitors from California. In addition to gaming on Native American-owned land, California allows other non-casino style gaming, including pari-mutuel wagering, a state-sponsored lottery, card clubs, bingo, and off-track betting.

On March 7, 2000, California voters approved Proposition 1A which amended the California constitution and legalized
Nevada-style gaming on Native American reservations. The passage of this amendment has allowed the expansion of existing Native American gaming operations, as well as the opening of new Native American gaming facilities in California.
Additionally, numerous tribes have announced that they intend to open gaming facilities. Other tribes are at various stages of planning new or expanded facilities in northern California, including facilities within a one-hour drive of San Francisco
or Sacramento. There are approximately 104 federally recognized Native American tribes in California. Based on information provided by the California Gambling Control Commission, Resorts management believes approximately 67 Native American
tribes currently have compacts with the State of California. Currently there are 57 Native American casinos in operation in the State of California.

Under their current compacts, most Native American tribes in California may operate up to 2,000 slot machines, and up to two gaming facilities may be operated on any reservation. Under action taken by the National
Indian Gaming Commission, gaming devices similar in appearance to slot machines, but which are deemed to be technological enhancements to bingo style gaming, are not subject to limits imposed by the State of California on the number of slot machines
and may be used by tribes without state permission. The number of slot machines the tribes are allowed to operate may increase as a result of any new or amended compacts the tribes may enter into with the State of California that receive the
requisite approvals, such as has been the case with respect to a number of new or amended compacts recently executed and approved. For example, on September 2, 2004, a Sacramento-area casino received approval of amendments to its compact
allowing for approximately 800 additional machines which were placed in operation during the fourth quarter of 2004 and increased the number of machines at this property to approximately 2,700. In April 2007, the California Senate approved
amendments to the compacts of five Native American tribes. In June 2007, the California Assembly approved four of these five compacts which increased the number of slot machines permitted to be operated by two of the four tribes from 2,000 to 5,000
each and increased the number that may be operated by each of the other two tribes from 2,000 to 7,500. California voters approved these four increases by their approval of gaming referendums on their statewide ballot on February 5, 2008.
Resorts management believes that the increase in the number of slot machines permitted to be operated by the four tribes will not significantly impact Eldorados and Silver Legacys operations since the casinos operated by those
tribes are located in southern California. In September 2008, the Governor of California signed a bill, which is subject to approval by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, ratifying an amendment to the compact of a tribe located in northern California to
increase from 2,000 to 5,000 the number of slot machines that may be operated by this tribe. This tribe opened a casino in December 2008 that is located 20



21



---

miles east of Sacramento and currently offers 2,000 slot machines. The amendment of the compact of this tribe and new compacts or modifications to existing
compacts of other tribes that currently operate or may operate casinos in central or northern California to provide similar increases to the number of slot machines permitted to be operated, could have a material adverse impact on Resorts
operations, depending on the number of such tribes securing new or modified compacts, the number of additional machines permitted and the locations of the properties utilizing the additional machines. We believe the continued growth of Native
American gaming establishments, including the addition of hotel rooms and other amenities, could continue to place additional competitive pressure on Resorts operations. While we cannot predict the extent of any future impact, it could be
significant.

Many existing Native American gaming facilities in northern California are modest compared to Reno market casinos such as
Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy. However, some Native American tribes have established large-scale gaming facilities in California and numerous Native American tribes have announced that they are in the process of expanding, developing, or are
considering establishing large-scale hotel and gaming facilities in northern California. In particular, a significant new Native American casino located approximately 21 miles northeast of Sacramento opened in June 2003 and offers approximately
2,700 slot machines and approximately 98 table games. Since June 2003, Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy have experienced a measurable impact on their operations from this and other northern California facilities, resulting in a negative effect on
their overall operating results. While the extent of the future impact cannot be predicted, it could be significant. Resorts management believes the greatest impact from Native American gaming establishments to the customer bases at
Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy is to day-trippers, those patrons whose visit is for one day and does not include an overnight stay. These customers are typically not tracked players, as they tend not to be as loyal a customer as those who visit for
more than one day at a time. Day-trippers primarily visit Reno in the second and third quarters when the weather is more favorable.

The
competitive impact on Nevada gaming establishments, in general, and Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy, in particular, from the continued growth of gaming outside Nevada cannot be determined at this time. However, Resorts management believes that
the expansion of casino gaming on Native American lands in California, and to a lesser extent in Washington and Oregon, could have a material adverse affect on future operations, depending on the nature, location, and scope of those operations.

The Shreveport/Bossier City gaming market is characterized by intense competition and the market has not grown substantially since
Eldorado-Shreveport originally opened as the Hollywood Casino in December 2000. Eldorado-Shreveport competes directly with four casinos, three of which have operated in the Shreveport/Bossier City market for several years and have established
customer bases. In May 2003, an existing racetrack, which had been acquired by one of the existing casinos in the market, opened a temporary gaming facility with approximately 900 slot machines. That racetrack completed construction and opened a new
permanent facility accommodating approximately 1,400 slot machines in April 2004. Casino gaming is currently prohibited in several jurisdictions from which the Shreveport/Bossier City market draws customers, primarily Texas. Although casino gaming
is currently not permitted in Texas, the Texas legislature has from time to time considered proposals to authorize casino gaming. In July 2003, the Chickasaw Nation announced the opening of WinStar Casinos, a Las Vegas-style, 110,000-square-foot
gaming facility located in Oklahoma approximately 60 miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Although gaming in Oklahoma is limited by law to Class II-type games, which have previously been technologically incapable of offering a similar
entertainment experience to Eldorado-Shreveports Class III-type games, recent innovations have allowed the Class II-type product to compete much more effectively than in the past. In November 2004, voters in Oklahoma approved several ballot
initiatives which, when fully implemented, will (1) allow Class II-type games at three Oklahoma racetracks, the closest of which is approximately 200 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth area; (2) allow several new electronic gaming devices,
including video poker, that are defined as games of skill at native-American casinos; and (3) allow certain player-pooled table games such as poker and blackjack at native-American casinos. Since Eldorado-Shreveport
draws a significant number of its customers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but is located approximately 190 miles from that area, management believes Eldorado-Shreveport will face increased competition from the WinStar Casinos, racetracks and
similar types of facilities.

Operations

The primary source of Resorts revenues is its properties casinos, although their hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and other services are an important adjunct to the casinos. The following table sets forth the respective
contributions to Resorts net revenues on a dollar and percentage basis of the major activities at Eldorado-Reno and Eldorado-Shreveport for each of the three most recent fiscal years.

Evansville, Indiana

On March 31, 2008, Resorts and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts (Resorts Indiana), entered into a definitive agreement
(the Evansville Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts Indiana agreed to purchase from Aztar Riverboat Holding Company, LLC (the Seller) all of the membership interests in Aztar Indiana Gaming Company, LLC (Aztar
Indiana), an indirect subsidiary of Tropicana Casinos and Resorts. Aztar Indiana owns the Casino Aztar riverboat gaming and hotel property in Evansville, Indiana (the Indiana Property). The agreement provided for a purchase price,
subject to certain adjustments, of up to $245 million, consisting of $190 million of cash, a $30 million note to be issued by a new holding company of Resorts and up to $25 million that would be dependent on the performance of the Indiana Property
during the 12 months following closing. At the time it entered into the Evansville Agreement, Resorts placed in escrow a $10 million deposit that was to be credited against the purchase price and released and paid to the Seller upon the closing of
the transaction. The purchase was subject to customary conditions including the receipt of requisite gaming approvals and the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvements Act of 1976. On
August 1, 2008, Resorts began incurring $196,000 per month in connection with the financing commitment for the Evansville transaction, and this amount increased to $245,000 per month after September 30, 2008 and was to continue until the
earlier of the initial funding under the commitment or the termination of the commitment, which would have continued in effect until December 31, 2008 if not earlier terminated. The proposed acquisition of Aztar Indiana was originally to be
consummated utilizing a new term loan facility together with the $10 million escrowed deposit to fund the $190 million cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing and other fees and expenses related to the acquisition.

On May 5, 2008, Tropicana Entertainment, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities, including Aztar Indiana and the Seller, filed for bankruptcy
relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the Seller became entitled, at its option, to assume or reject prepetition executory contracts such as the Evansville Agreement, subject to approval of the bankruptcy court.
On September 22, 2008, the bankruptcy court approved bidding procedures to allow Tropicana to seek higher and better bids to purchase Aztar Indiana. As a result of the process, no higher or better bids were received. Accordingly, a sale hearing
was scheduled before the bankruptcy court where Tropicana was to seek the entry of an order approving and authorizing the sale of Aztar Indiana to Resorts pursuant to the Evansville Agreement.

On November 20, 2008, in light of uncertainty regarding whether the acquisition of Casino Aztar would close, Resorts and the Seller agreed to
terminate the Evansville Agreement with the following terms of settlement: (i) payment of $5 million of the escrowed deposit to the Seller with the balance, including any accrued interest less escrow costs, being distributed to Resorts,
(ii) the right of Resorts to a $5 million credit against any consideration otherwise owed by Resorts in the event of any future agreement of Resorts to acquire Aztar Indiana or an interest therein, and (iii) mutual releases of the parties
from any further obligation under the Evansville Agreement. On November 26, 2008 the bankruptcy court approved the terms of settlement and Resorts gave notice of its termination of the commitment for the financing related to the proposed
acquisition of Aztar Indiana. As a result of the settlement, Resorts recognized $5 million of the escrow deposit as expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 along with other expenses relating to the transaction of approximately $1.8 million and $0.9
million in fees associated with the financing commitment.

Governmental Regulation

Resorts and its subsidiaries operations are subject to extensive regulation under laws, rules and supervisory procedures primarily in the jurisdictions where their facilities are located or docked. If
additional gaming regulations are adopted in Nevada or Louisiana where their operations are conducted, those regulations could impose restrictions or costs that could have a significant adverse effect on those operations. From time to time, various
proposals have been introduced in the legislatures of the two jurisdictions in which Resorts and its subsidiaries operations are conducted that, if enacted, could adversely affect the tax, regulatory, operational or other aspects of the
gaming industry and those operations. We do not know whether or when such legislation will be enacted. Gaming companies are currently subject to significant state and local taxes and fees in addition to normal federal and state corporate income
taxes, and such taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. Any material increase in these taxes or fees could adversely affect Resorts and its subsidiaries operations.

Some jurisdictions, including the two in which Resorts is licensed, Nevada and Louisiana, empower their regulators to investigate participation by
licensees in gaming outside their jurisdiction and require access to periodic reports respecting those gaming activities. Violations of laws in one jurisdiction could result in disciplinary action in other jurisdictions.

Under provisions of gaming laws in jurisdictions in which Resorts has operations, and under the organizational documents of Resorts and its subsidiaries,
certain of their securities are subject to restriction on ownership which may be imposed by specified governmental authorities. The restrictions may require a holder of those securities to dispose of the securities or, if the holder refuses, or is
unable, to dispose of the securities, the issuer may be required to repurchase the securities.

The Company was approved by the Nevada and
Louisiana gaming authorities to hold the equity interest in Resorts which the Company acquired on December 14, 2007, and it is subject to extensive regulation by these gaming authorities. See, Nevada Regulation and Licensing and
Louisiana Regulation and Licensing, below.

Nevada Regulation and Licensing

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in Nevada, including the Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy, and Tamarack Junction are subject to the
Nevada Gaming Control Act (the Nevada Act) and regulations promulgated thereunder as well as various local regulations. Resorts gaming operations are subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission
(the Nevada Commission), the Nevada State Gaming Control Board (the Nevada Board) and various local governmental authorities (collectively, the Nevada Gaming Authorities).

The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming Authorities are based upon declarations of public policy that seek to, among other
things:



| |  |  | prevent unsavory or unsuitable persons from having any direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



24



---

| |  |  | establish and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintain effective control over the financial practices of licensees, including establishing minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of
assets and revenues, providing reliable recordkeeping and requiring the filing of periodic reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prevent cheating and fraudulent practices; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide a source of state and local revenues through taxation and licensing fees.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in these, regulations and procedures could have an adverse effect on gaming operations at Nevada casinos, including the Eldorado-Reno and Sliver Legacy.

Resorts, which owns and operates Eldorado-Reno, is licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities and is a corporate licensee (a Corporate
Licensee) under the terms of the Nevada Act. Resorts is also registered with the Nevada Commission as a holding company in connection with its 96% interest in Eldorado Limited Liability Company, a 50% joint venture partner in Silver Legacy and
as a manager and member of Tamarack Junction. Each of Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy, and Tamarack Junction are licensed as non-restricted (casino) gaming operations under Nevada law. The gaming licenses held by each of those properties require
periodic payments of fees and taxes and are not transferable. Corporate Licensees are required periodically to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Commission and furnish any other information that the Nevada Commission may
request. No person may become a member of, or receive any percentage of the profits from, Resorts without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. All of the members of Resorts have obtained the licenses and
approvals necessary to own their respective interests in Resorts. Resorts and its affiliated entities have obtained from the Nevada Gaming Authorities the various registrations, approvals, permits and licenses required in order to engage in gaming
activities at Eldorado-Reno and to own its interests in ELLC, a joint venture partner in Silver Legacy, and its interests in Tamarack Junction.

Prior to the closing of the Resorts Transaction, the Company and its affiliated entities and controlling persons obtained certain approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. These approvals included the following:



| |  |  | the Company was registered as a publicly traded corporation as that term is defined by the Nevada Act,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Company, VoteCo, Blocker, and AcquisitionCo were registered as holding or intermediary companies and were found suitable in such capacities, and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the VoteCo equityholders were licensed as members and managers, as applicable, of VoteCo and found suitable as controlling managers, as applicable, of the Company,
Blocker, and AcquisitionCo.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Nevada Commission issued a variety of approvals in connection with the
Resorts Transaction, including:



| |  |  | approval of the disposition of the Resorts 3% equity interest by Carano to AcquisitionCo; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approval of the issuance of the 14.47% new membership interest by Resorts and transfer of the interest to AcquisitionCo.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Nevada Gaming Authorities have found the Company, VoteCo, Blocker and AcquisitionCo and each such companys respective members and managers
suitable in connection with the Resorts Transaction. While the direct and indirect holders of Class B Membership Units of the Company are not mandatorily required to be found suitable in connection with the Resorts Transaction, they will remain
subject to the discretionary authority of the Nevada Commission and can be required to file an application and have their suitability determined, or to dispose of their investment in the Company.



25



---

The Company has been approved to be registered by the Nevada Commission as a publicly traded
corporation as that term is defined in the Nevada Act. The Company is deemed a publicly traded corporation under the Nevada Act because its Class A Units are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company is
accordingly required to file periodic reports pursuant to that Act. There is currently only one Class A Unit issued and outstanding and it is not currently anticipated that any of the Companys membership units or any other securities of
the Company will be listed for trading or trade with any frequency.

The Company, VoteCo, Blocker, and AcquisitionCo filed applications
with the Nevada Gaming Authorities to obtain various registrations, licenses, findings of suitability, approvals and permits required to acquire the Resorts equity interests. In connection with the Companys, VoteCos, Blockers and
AcquisitionCos applications, each of the members of VoteCo filed an application for approval as a member and as a manager of VoteCo, and Mr. Reeg additionally filed an application for approvals as a Manager of the Company, Blocker, and
AcquisitionCo. All applications filed by the Company and its affiliates were approved by the Nevada Commission on September 20, 2007, authorizing the Company and its affiliates to consummate the Resorts Transaction.

No person may become a stockholder of member of, or receive any percentage of the profits of, an intermediary or holding company or gaming licensee
without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to or material involvement with the Company or its affiliates to
determine whether the individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a gaming licensee. Certain of the officers, managers and key employees of Resorts, the Company, VoteCo, Blocker and AcquisitionCo have been or may be
required to file applications with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and are or may be required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the Resorts Transaction. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny any
application for licensing for any reason which they deem appropriate. A finding of suitability is comparable to licensing, and both require submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough investigation. An applicant
for licensing or an applicant for a finding of suitability must pay or must cause to be paid all the costs of the investigation. Changes in licensed positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities and, in addition to their authority to
deny an application for a finding of suitability or licensing, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have the authority to disapprove changes in a corporate position.

If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, manager or key employee of Resorts, the Company, VoteCo, Blocker or AcquisitionCo unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a continuing
relationship with any of these entities, the companies involved would have to sever all relationships with such person. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny an application for any cause which they deem reasonable. Determinations of suitability or
of questions pertaining to licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada.

If it were determined that the Nevada Act was violated
by Resorts, the Company, VoteCo, Blocker or AcquisitionCo, the gaming licenses and approvals they hold could be limited, conditioned, suspended or revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory procedures. In addition, any such
violation and the persons involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada Act or of the regulations of the Nevada Commission, at the discretion of the Nevada Commission. Furthermore, the Nevada Commission
could appoint a supervisor to operate the Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy, or Tamarack Junction and, under specified circumstances, earnings generated during the supervisors appointment (except for the reasonable rental value of the premises)
could be forfeited to the State of Nevada. Limitation, conditioning or suspension of any gaming license or the appointment of a supervisor could (and revocation of any gaming license would) impact Resorts casino revenues and cause the Company
to suffer financial loss.

The Order of Registration issued by the Nevada Commission authorizing the Company to consummate the Resorts
Transaction (the Order of Registration) contains certain conditions, including conditions that (1) prohibit VoteCo, InvestCo or their respective affiliates from selling, assigning, transferring, pledging or otherwise disposing of
Class A Membership Units or Class B Membership Unites of Resorts or any other security convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Membership Units or Class B Membership Units, without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission, and
(2) prohibit the Company from declaring cash dividends or distributions on any class of membership unit of the Company beneficially owned in whole or in part of InvestCo, VoteCo, or their respective affiliates, without the prior approval of the
Nevada Commission.



26



---

The Order of Registration also requires the Company, VoteCo, Blocker and AcquisitionCo to submit detailed
financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Authorities on an ongoing basis. Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions by the Company, VoteCo, Blocker and AcquisitionCo must be reported
to, and in some cases approved by, the Nevada Commission.

Regardless of the number of shares held, any beneficial holder of voting
securities issued by the Company may be required to file an application, be investigated and have that persons suitability as a beneficial holder of voting securities determined if the Nevada Commission has reason to believe that the ownership
would otherwise be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. If the beneficial holder of such voting securities who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust,
it must submit detailed business and financial information, including a list of its beneficial owners. The applicant must pay all costs of the investigation incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in conducting any investigation.

The Nevada Act requires any person who individually or in association with others acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of more than 5%
of the voting securities of a publicly traded corporation registered with the Nevada Commission to report the acquisition to the Nevada Commission, and such person may be required to be found suitable. The Nevada Act requires that each person who,
individually or in association with others, acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the voting securities of a publicly traded corporation registered with the Nevada Commission to apply to the Nevada Commission for
a finding of suitability within 30 days after the Chairman of the Nevada Board mails written notice to the person requiring such filing. Under certain circumstances, an institutional investor, as defined in the Nevada Act, which acquires
more than 10%, but not more than 15%, of the voting securities of a registered publicly traded corporation may apply to the Nevada Commission for a waiver of a finding of suitability if the institutional investor holds the voting securities for
investment purposes only. Also under certain circumstances, an institutional investor that has obtained a waiver may hold up to 19% of the voting securities of such company for a limited period of time and maintain the waiver. An institutional
investor will not be deemed to hold voting securities for investment purposes unless the voting securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business as an institutional investor and not for the purpose of causing, directly or
indirectly, the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors of the registered publicly traded corporation, a change in the corporate charter, bylaws, management, policies or operations of the registered publicly traded
corporation, or any of its gaming affiliates, or any other action which the Nevada Commission finds to be inconsistent with holding such a companys voting securities for investment purposes only. Activities which are not deemed to be
inconsistent with holding voting securities for investment purposes only include:



| |  |  | voting on all matters voted on by stockholders or interest holders;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | making financial and other inquiries of management of the types normally made by securities analysts for informational purposes and not to cause a change in
management, policies or operations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other activities that the Nevada Commission may determined to be consistent with such investment intent.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Commission
or the Chairman of the Nevada Board may be found unsuitable. The same restrictions apply to a record owner of equity securities if the record owner, after request, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any person found unsuitable and who holds,
directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation registered with the Nevada Commission beyond such period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Commission may be guilty of a criminal
offense. The Company is subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives notice that a person is unsuitable to be a member or hold a voting security or other equity security issued by the Company or to have any other relationship with the
Company, the Company:



| |  |  | pays that person any dividend or interest with respect to voting securities of the Company,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



27



---

| |  |  | allows that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pays remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish his or her voting securities, including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of
said voting securities for cash at fair market value.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Nevada Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder
of any debt or non-voting security of a registered publicly traded corporation to file applications, be investigated, and be found suitable to own the debt or non-voting security of such corporation. If the Nevada Commission determines that a person
is unsuitable to own such security, then pursuant to the Nevada Act, the registered publicly traded corporation can be sanctioned, including by revocation of its approvals, if without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission, it:



| |  |  | pays to the unsuitable person any dividend, interest, or any distribution whatsoever,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recognizes any voting right by such unsuitable person in connection with such securities,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pays the unsuitable person remuneration in any form, or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | makes any payment to the unsuitable person by way of principal, redemption, conversion, exchange, liquidation or similar transactions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company may not make a public offering of its securities without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission if the securities or the proceeds
therefrom are intended to be used to construct, acquire or finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes.

Changes in control of the Company through merger, consolidation, stock or asset acquisitions, management or consulting agreements, or any act or conduct by a person whereby the person obtains control, may not occur
without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission. Entities and person seeking to acquire control of a registered publicly traded corporation must satisfy the Nevada Commission with respect to a variety of stringent standards prior to assuming
control of such corporation. The Nevada Commission may also require controlling stockholders, members, partners, officers, directors and other persons having an ownership interest in or a material relationship or involvement with the entity
proposing to acquire control to be investigated and licensed as part of the approval process relating to the transaction.

Any person who
is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to be registered, or under common control with such persons, and who proposes to become involved or is involved in a gaming venture outside of Nevada (Foreign Gaming), is
required to deposit certain funds with the Nevada Board in order to pay the expenses of investigation of the Nevada Board of their participation in such Foreign Gaming. Thereafter, such persons are required to comply with certain reporting
requirements imposed by the Nevada Act. A licensee is also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Commission if it knowingly violates any laws of the foreign jurisdiction pertaining to the Foreign Gaming operation, fails to conduct the Foreign
Gaming operation in accordance with the standards of honesty and integrity required of Nevada gaming operations, engages in activities or enters into associations that are harmful to the State of Nevada or its ability to collect gaming taxes and
fees, or employs, contract with, or associates with, a person in a Foreign Gaming operation who has been denied a license or finding of suitability in Nevada for the reason of personal unsuitability.

Louisiana Regulation and Licensing

In the State of
Louisiana, Resorts, through two wholly owned subsidiaries, owns a 76.4% interest in and operates Eldorado-Shreveport. The operation and management of a riverboat casino in Louisiana is subject to extensive state regulation. The Louisiana Riverboat
Economic Development and Gaming Control Act, or the Riverboat Act, became effective on July 19, 1991.



28



---

The Riverboat Act states, among other things, that certain of the policies of the State of Louisiana are:



| | 1. | to develop a historic riverboat industry that will assist in the growth of the tourism market;
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | to license and supervise the riverboat industry from the period of construction through actual operation;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | to regulate the operators, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of gaming devices; and
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | to license all entities involved in the riverboat gaming industry.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Riverboat Act makes it clear, however, that no holder of a license or permit possesses any vested interest in such license or permit and that the license or permit may be revoked at any time.

In a special session held in April 1996, the Louisiana Legislature passed the Louisiana Gaming Control Act, or the Gaming Control Act, which created the
Louisiana Gaming Control Board, or the Gaming Control Board. Pursuant to the Gaming Control Act, all of the regulatory authority, control and jurisdiction of licensing for riverboats was transferred to the Gaming Control Board. The Gaming Control
Board is made up of nine members and two ex-officio members (the Secretary of Revenue and Taxation and the Superintendent of the Louisiana State Police). It is domiciled in Baton Rouge and regulates riverboat gaming, the land-based casino in New
Orleans, racetrack slot facilities and video poker. The Attorney General acts as legal counsel to the Gaming Control Board. Any material alteration in the method whereby riverboat gaming is regulated in the State of Louisiana could have an adverse
effect on the operations of Eldorado-Shreveport.

The Louisiana Legislature also passed legislation requiring each parish (county) where
riverboat gaming is currently authorized to hold an election in order for the voters to decide whether riverboat gaming will remain legal in that parish. Eldorado-Shreveport is located in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, which approved riverboat gaming at
the special election held on November 6, 1996.

The Riverboat Act approved the conduct of gaming activities on riverboats, in
accordance with the Riverboat Act, on twelve separate waterways in Louisiana. The Riverboat Act allows the Gaming Control Board to issue up to fifteen licenses to operate riverboat gaming projects within the state, with no more than six in any one
parish. There are presently fifteen licenses issued and thirteen riverboats currently operating. Two riverboats in other areas of the State are not operational due to recent storms. Pursuant to the Riverboat Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, each applicant which desired to operate a riverboat casino in Louisiana was required to file a number of separate applications for a Certificate of Preliminary Approval, all necessary gaming licenses, and a Certificate of Final Approval.
No final Certificate was issued without all necessary and property certificates from all regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, local port authorities and local levee authorities.

Eldorado-Shreveport, as operated by Resorts subsidiaries, received its license and related approvals in July 2005. This license is subject to
periodic renewal and is subject to certain general operational conditions. The property was formerly operated and licensed as the Hollywood Casino Shreveport.

Resorts and certain of its members, officers, and certain of its key personnel were found suitable to operate riverboat gaming in the State of Louisiana. New members, officers, and certain key employees associated
with gaming must also be found suitable by the Gaming Control Board prior to working in gaming-related areas. These approvals may be immediately revoked for a number of causes as determined by the Gaming Control Board. The Gaming Control Board may
deny any application for a certificate, permit or license for any cause found to be reasonable by the Gaming Control Board. The Gaming Control Board has the authority to require Resorts to sever its relationships with any persons for any cause
deemed reasonable by the Gaming Control Board or for the failure of that person to file necessary applications with the Gaming Control Board.

In addition to an annual fee of $100,000 that is payable for the operation of Eldorado-Shreveport, the
State of Louisiana imposes a gaming tax equal to 21.5% of the net gaming proceeds generated by the Louisiana Partnership. Additionally, each local government may charge a boarding fee or admissions tax. Eldorado-Shreveport currently pays admission
taxes of 4.75% of its adjusted gross receipts to various local governmental bodies. Any increase in these fees or taxes could have a material and detrimental effect on the operations of Eldorado-Shreveport.

At any time, the Gaming Control Board may investigate and require the finding of suitability of any member, beneficial owner, or officer of Resorts or of
any of its subsidiaries. The Gaming Control Board requires all holders of more than a 5% interest in the license holder (regardless of whether the interest is a voting or non-voting interest) to submit to suitability requirements. Additionally, if a
member or beneficial owner who must be found suitable is a corporate, limited liability company, or partnership entity, then the shareholders, members, or partners of the entity must also submit to investigation. The sale or transfer of more than a
5% interest in any riverboat is subject to Gaming Control Board approval.

Pursuant to the regulations promulgated by the Gaming Control
Board, all licensees are required to inform the Gaming Control Board of all debt, credit, financing and loan transactions, including the identity of debt holders. Resorts subsidiaries that own Eldorado-Shreveport are subject to these
regulations. In addition, the Gaming Control Board, in its sole discretion, may require the holders of such debt securities to file applications and obtain suitability certificates from the Gaming Control Board. Additionally, if the Gaming Control
Board finds that any holder exercises a material influence over the gaming operations, a suitability certificate will be required. If the Gaming Control Board determines that a person is unsuitable to own such a security or to hold such an
indebtedness, the Gaming Control Board may propose any action which it determines proper and necessary to protect the public interest, including the suspension or revocation of the license. The Gaming Control Board may also, under the penalty of
revocation of license, issue a condition of disqualification naming the person(s) and declaring that such person(s) may not:



| |  |  | receive dividends or interest in debt or securities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exercise directly or through a nominee a right conferred by the securities or indebtedness;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | receive any remuneration from the licensee;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | receive any economic benefit from the licensee; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue in an ownership or economic interest in a licensee or remain as a member, beneficial owner, officer, or partner of a licensee.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any violation of the Riverboat Act or the rules promulgated by the Gaming Control Board could result in substantial
fines, penalties (including a revocation of the license), and criminal actions. Additionally, all licenses and permits issued by the Gaming Control Board are revocable privileges and may be revoked at any time by the Gaming Control Board.

Internal Revenue Service Regulations

The Internal Revenue Service requires operators of casinos located in the United States to file information returns for U.S. citizens, including names and addresses of winners, for keno, bingo and slot machine winnings in excess of
stipulated amounts. The Internal Revenue Service also requires operators to withhold taxes on some keno, bingo and slot machine winnings of nonresident aliens. Resorts is unable to predict the extent to which these requirements, if extended, might
impede or otherwise adversely affect its operations.

Regulations adopted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury
Department and the Nevada Gaming Authorities require the reporting of currency transactions in excess of $10,000 occurring within a gaming day, including identification of the patron by name and social security number. This reporting obligation
began in 1985 and may have resulted in the loss of gaming revenues to jurisdictions outside the United States which are exempt from the ambit of these regulations.

Other Laws and Regulations

The sale of alcoholic beverages at Eldorado-Reno, Eldorado-Shreveport and Silver Legacy are subject to licensing, control and regulation by applicable local regulatory agencies. All licenses are revocable and are not
transferable. The agencies involved have full power to limit, condition, suspend or revoke any license, and any disciplinary action could, and revocation would, have a material adverse effect upon Resorts operations.

Eldorado-Reno, Eldorado-Shreveport and Silver Legacy are subject to extensive state and local regulations and, on a periodic basis, they must obtain
various licenses and permits, including those required to sell alcoholic beverages. Resorts believes that it has obtained all required licenses and permits and that its business is conducted in substantial compliance with applicable laws.

Environmental Matters

As is the case
with any owner or operator of real property, Resorts is subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, emission and disposal of hazardous materials. Federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations also impose liability on potentially responsible parties, including the owners or operators of real property, to clean up, or contribute to the cost of cleaning up, sites at which hazardous wastes or materials were
disposed of or released. Resorts does not have environmental liability insurance to cover such events.

In 1998 Silver Legacy received
reimbursement and indemnification from Chevron Company USA of $750,000 for petroleum contamination identified on Silver Legacy property. In addition, reimbursement for some of the expenditures has been, and further reimbursement may be, obtained
from the State of Nevada Petroleum Fund which has been established to reimburse parties for costs incurred in clean-up of underground storage tank related contamination. In 2005 Resorts demolished two motels it owned across the street from and west
of Eldorado-Reno. It was determined that contamination of the soil existed and Resorts sought and received reimbursement from the State of Nevada Petroleum Fund for expenditures of approximately $20,000 incurred in the clean-up relating to the
contamination.

Groundwater in the vicinity of the Eldorado-Reno property is also contaminated by a chlorinated solvent known as
perchloroethylene or PCE. This contaminant is widespread in the Reno/Sparks area. The Central Truckee Meadows Remediation District, encompassing much of the cities of Reno and Sparks, was established pursuant to state legislation to
address this contamination. The Central Truckee Meadows Remediation District is managed by Washoe County under the direction of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and is currently conducting investigations and developing a remediation
plan. Funding for the Central Truckee Meadows Remediation District is provided through assessments to water customers which are calculated on the basis of water use. The annual assessment to Eldorado-Reno is currently $150, plus an additional sum
based on the amount of water used, which in its most recent annual assessment amounted to approximately $13,200. It is possible that additional assessments may be made against properties that receive special benefits from the Central Truckee Meadows
Remediation District, such as clean-up of contamination affecting a specific parcel. The legislation implementing this program exempts property owners who did not cause or contribute to the contamination from civil and criminal liability for the
cost of remediation and any related damages, except to the extent of unpaid assessments. Resorts does not believe that Eldorado-Reno has contributed to this solvent contamination, however, Resorts expect that Eldorado-Reno will be required to allow
the Central Truckee Meadows Remediation District access to its property for continued investigation.

Asbestos has been determined to be
present in the acoustic ceilings of approximately 216 of Eldorado-Renos older hotel rooms. Removal of the asbestos will be required only in the event of the demolition of the affected rooms or if the asbestos is otherwise disturbed. At this
time, management has no plans to renovate or demolish the affected rooms in a manner that would require removal of the asbestos.

The
possibility exists that additional contamination, as yet unknown, may exist at Eldorado-Reno or Silver Legacy. In all cases, however, Resorts believes that any such contamination would have arisen from activities of prior owners or occupants, or
from offsite sources and not as a result of any of its actions or operations. Resorts does not believe that its expenditures for environmental investigations or remediation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.



31



---

In addition to the annual assessments referred to above, Resorts has expended approximately $933,000 in
connection with environmental matters from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 2008, of which approximately $1,475 was expended in 2008 and approximately $775 was expended in 2007.

Seasonality

Hotel/casino operations in the Reno
market are subject to seasonal variation, with the strongest operating results generally occurring in the third quarter of each year and the weakest results generally occurring during the period from November through February. Variations occur when
weather conditions make travel to Reno by visitors from northern California and the Pacific Northwest difficult.

Hotel/casino operations
in the Shreveport/Bossier City market are subject to slight seasonal variations, with the strongest operating results generally occurring in the first quarter of each year and the weakest results generally occurring during the fourth quarter.

Employees

As of December 31,
2008, there were approximately 1,567 employees at Eldorado-Reno and approximately 1,400 employees at Eldorado-Shreveport. At that date there were approximately 1,900 employees at Silver Legacy. A substantial majority of the employees at each
property are nonmanagement personnel. The number of people employed at any time at either of the Reno properties is subject to seasonal fluctuation. None of the employees at Eldorado-Reno, Eldorado-Shreveport or Silver Legacy are covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. Resorts believes that employee relations at Eldorado-Reno, Eldorado-Shreveport and Silver Legacy are excellent.

Factors that May Affect the Companys Future Results

Certain information included in this report (as well as
information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company) contains or may contain forward-looking statements which can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations about future events. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Companys beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,
anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including statements that include the words may, could, should, would, believe,
expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, plan or similar expressions.

These
statements include information relating to capital spending, financing sources and the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulation) and competition.

Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this report and in any other public statements the Company makes may turn out to be wrong. This can occur as a result of inaccurate assumptions or as a consequence of
known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors discussed in this report, such as government regulation and the competitive environment, will be important in determining the Companys future performance. Consequently, actual results may
differ materially from those that might be anticipated from forward-looking statements.



32



---

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in the Companys subsequent quarterly and annual reports should be consulted. The following discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible
inaccurate assumptions relevant to the Companys business includes factors the Company believes could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed below could also
adversely affect the Company.



| |  |  | As described under Competition, in this Item 1, Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy and Eldorado-Shreveport operate in very competitive environments. The
growth in the number of hotel rooms and/or casino capacity in Reno, Nevada or Shreveport, Louisiana or the spread of legalized gaming in other jurisdictions, including the growth of Native American gaming in northern California and the northwestern
United. States, could negatively affect future operating results.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As discussed under Nevada Regulation and Licensing and Louisiana Regulation and Licensing in this Item 1, Eldorado-Renos, Silver
Legacys and Eldorado-Shreveports gaming operations are highly regulated by governmental authorities in Nevada or Louisiana, and Resorts future operations may be significantly impacted by this regulation.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in applicable gaming, tax or other laws or regulations could have a significant effect on the operations of Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy and
Eldorado-Shreveport.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Eldorado-Renos, Silver Legacys and Eldorado-Shreveports operations are affected by changes in general economic and market conditions nationally,
such as the current economic recession, as well as such conditions in the respective areas where their operations are conducted and in those areas where their customers live, including, in the case of Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy, California,
and, in the case of Eldorado-Shreveport, Texas.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Security concerns or terrorist activity, including any future security alerts and/or terrorist attacks similar to those that occurred on September 11, 2001
could adversely affect the operations of Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy and Eldorado-Shreveport.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The highway between Reno and northern California, where a large number of Eldorado-Renos and Silver Legacys customers reside, experience winter weather
conditions from time to time that limit the number of customers who visit Reno during such periods.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The concentration of all of Resorts operations in Reno and Shreveport poses a risk that is not applicable to more geographically diversified gaming companies.
Any economic, weather or other conditions which adversely impact gaming operations in Reno or Shreveport will impact a significant portion of Resorts operations.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenues to the state, county and local jurisdictions in which gaming is conducted and, in 2003, Nevada
increased the state taxes Resorts pays. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed a variety of changes in tax laws, or in the administration of those laws, affecting the gaming industry, including a federal
gaming tax.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The interest rate on a portion of Resorts debt is subject to fluctuation based on changes in short-term interest rates. Interest expense could increase as a
result of this factor.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Claims have been brought against Resorts in various legal proceedings, and additional legal and tax claims will likely arise from time to time. While the Company
believes that the ultimate disposition of current matters will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations, it is possible that Resorts cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected from
time to time by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



33



---

| |  |  | There is intense competition to attract and retain management and key employees in the gaming industry. The operations at Eldorado-Reno, Silver Legacy or
Eldorado-Shreveport could be adversely affected in the event of the inability to recruit or retain key personnel.

The Company

The Company owns no real property. But, upon the closing of the Resorts transaction on December 14, 2007, the Company acquired an indirect equity
interest in Resorts which directly or indirectly, through the Louisiana Partnership, Eldorado-Reno and Silver Legacy Joint Venture, holds interests in real property.

Resorts

Eldorado-Reno is situated on an approximately 159,000 square foot parcel at 345 North
Virginia Street, Reno, Nevada. Resorts owns the entire parcel, except for approximately 30,000 square fee which is leased from C, S and Y Associates, a general partnership of which Donald Carano is a general partner. The lease expires on
June 30, 2027. Annual rent is equal to the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) an amount based on a decreasing percentage of Eldorado-Renos gross gaming revenues ranging from 3.0% of the first $6.5 million of gross gaming revenues
to 0.1% of gross gaming revenues in excess of $75.0 million. Rent in 2008 totaled approximately $624,000, compared with approximately $633,000 in 2007. Substantially, all of Resorts real property and the related personal property (including
Eldorado-Reno, a 31,000 square foot parcel of property across the street from and west of Eldorado-Reno and two adjacent parcels totaling an additional 18,687 square feet) is subject to encumbrances securing the repayment of Resorts senior
secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the Resorts Credit Facility), which provides for borrowing from time to time of up to $30 million and terminates on February 28, 2011. At December 31, 2008, the indebtedness
outstanding under the Resorts Credit Facility was $12.75 million.

Silver Legacy Joint Venture

Silver Legacy is owned by Silver Legacy Joint Venture, a Nevada general partnership of which a 96%-owned subsidiary of Resorts is a 50% partner. Silver
Legacy is situated on two neighboring parcels of land, located at 407 North Virginia Street and 411 North Sierra Street in Reno, Nevada. Silver Legacy Joint Venture owns both parcels, comprising 118,167 and 119,927 square feet, respectively. As of
December 31, 2008 both parcels and the improvements located thereon were encumbered by liens securing the indebtedness incurred under Silver Legacy Joint Ventures senior credit facility (the Silver Legacy Credit Facility) and
the indebtedness evidenced by $160 million principal amount of 10-1/8% mortgage notes due 2012 co-issued by Silver Legacy Joint Venture and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Legacy Capital Corp. (the Silver Legacy Notes). At
December 31, 2008, the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness secured by these liens totaled $160.0 million. In February 2009 the Silver Legacy Joint Venture purchased and retired $17.2 million principal amount of the Silver Legacy
Notes for $11.4 million. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Silver Legacy Joint Venture incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this report.

Louisiana Partnership

The Louisiana Partnership, a Louisiana general partnership in which two wholly
owned subsidiaries of Resorts own all of the partnership interest (other than certain rights associated with the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and Preferred Return (as these terms are defined in the partnership
agreement)), leases approximately nine acres of land in Shreveport, Louisiana on which Eldorado-Shreveport was constructed. Eldorado-Shreveport consists of a 403-room, all-suite hotel and a three-level riverboat dockside casino that contains
approximately 59,000 square feet of space. Eldorado-Shreveports centerpiece is a 170,000 square foot

land-based pavilion housing restaurants and entertainment amenities. An 85-foot wide seamless entrance connects the casino to the land-based pavilion on all
three levels resulting in the feel of a land-based casino. The Louisiana Partnership also leases other properties in the Shreveport area for office space, employee parking and storage. At December 31, 2008, substantially all of the Louisiana
Partnerships assets, including Eldorado-Shreveport, were subject to liens securing the repayment of $155,616,000 principal amount of 10% notes due 2012 co-issued by the Louisiana partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana
Partnership (the Shreveport Notes), including $31,133,250 principal amount of Shreveport Notes acquired by Resorts in consideration of its issuance to the Company of a new 14.47% interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007.

THE COMPANY

Overview

The following managements discussion and analysis relates to the Companys financial statements and notes thereto included in this report and incorporated by reference in Item 8 hereof.

The Company and its subsidiaries were formed as legal entities on January 8, 2007 for the primary purpose of holding equity, directly or indirectly
through affiliates, in one or more entities related to the gaming industry, and to exercise the rights, and manage the distributions received, in connection with those holdings. In 2007, the Company incurred costs (primarily professional fees) in
connection with



35



---

a purchase agreement pursuant to which its subsidiary, NGA AcquisitionCo, LLC, acquired a 17.0359% interest in Resorts (see Note 5 to the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in Item 8 hereof), including applications by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and beneficial owners for licensure with gaming regulatory authorities in Nevada and Louisiana.

The financial statements presented reflect the activity of the Companys only assets, the investments associated with Resorts, which,
from August 1, 2006 (inception) until the acquisition of the interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007, consisted principally of bonds and preferred securities, which are reflected as of the approximate fair value since the date of the
Letter of Intent between Resorts and Newport Global in November 2006, and, since the acquisition of the interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007, consists of the acquired interest in Resorts. The related statements of operations reflect the
interest and dividends earned on the aforementioned bonds and preferred securities since August 2006 and any direct expenses associated with the Resorts transaction.

The Company has had no revenue generating business since inception and its current business plan consists primarily of its 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2007

As a result of the Companys exchange of an aggregate of $38,045,363 original principal amount of first mortgage bonds due 2012 (the Shreveport Bonds) co-issued by Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint
Venture (the Louisiana Partnership) and Shreveport Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership, in exchange for a 17.0359% interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007, the Company did not generate
interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 when the Company held the Shreveport Bonds for approximately 11.5 months. Similarly, the Company did not receive dividend
income nor did it recognize any gain on marketable securities for 2008 compared to $0.06 million of dividend income and an approximate $2.0 million gain on marketable securities for the year ended 2007. The Companys net equity loss on Resorts
increased to $4.7 million as a result of a higher net loss for the year 2008 at Resorts compared to $0.06 million in 2007. Another contributing factor to the higher loss experienced in 2008 was the impact of the full year attribution in 2008 versus
approximately 17 days in 2007.

Expenses decreased approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 when compared with
the prior year as the Company incurred the majority of the costs associated with the acquisition of its ownership interest in Resorts during 2007.

The income tax benefit for 2008 was approximately $3.1 million for 2008 versus a provision for income taxes of approximately $0.7 million for 2007.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $5.4 million compared to net income of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decline was largely attributable to the combination of
reduced interest income, reduced dividend income, the elimination of the gain on marketable securities, a $3.6 million impairment in the carrying value in Investments in Resorts and a higher net loss on Resorts during 2008 when compared to
2007. The decline in income more than offset the lower expenses during the comparative periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred costs of approximately $0.1 million associated with the Companys ownership
of its interest in Resorts. These costs were funded by Newport. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred costs associated with its acquisition of its interest in Resorts totaling approximately $0.2 million. These costs were
also funded by Newport on behalf of NGA HoldCo.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred costs of approximately
$0.1 million associated with maintaining its gaming and related licenses in Nevada and Louisiana. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred costs associated with obtaining these gaming and related licenses totaling
$1.1 million. These costs were also funded by Newport on behalf of NGA HoldCo.

For 2009, the Company expects approximately $0.4
million in costs associated with maintaining its gaming and related licenses in Nevada and Louisiana. The costs are to be funded by Newport on behalf of NGA HoldCo. Thus, the Company has the resources to fund its operations and commitments for the
next year.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Investment Valuation

During the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company classified its investments in the Eldorado Shreveport Investments as trading as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, and reported them at fair value. The preferred shares were not traded in a formal exchange and are therefore considered over the counter securities, and as such, these securities are traded by broker dealers who
negotiate directly with one another.

Investment in Resorts

The Company accounts for its 17.0359% investment in Resorts using the equity method of accounting in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) D-46 Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments. The Company considers whether the fair value of its equity method investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any such decline to be other than temporary, then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined using a
discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated future results of the investee and marked indicators of terminal year capitalization rate. As a result of the Companys annual impairment test on its investment, the Company recognized a non-cash
impairment charge of $3.6 million in 2008 relating solely to its investment in Resorts. The impairment charge resulted from factors impacted be current economic conditions, including: 1) lower marked valuation multiples for gaming assets; 2) higher
discount rates resulting from the turmoil in the credit and equity markets; 3) current cash flow forecasts for Resorts.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In
making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we
were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 provides that a tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions
must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,upon inception. There was no unrecognized tax recorded as a result of the implementation. Nevertheless, in the event the Company were to incur interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits, the Company would recognize such interest and penalties related to such unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the NGA HoldCo accompanying consolidated income statements. Moreover, such accrued
interest and penalties would be included within the related tax liability line in the accompanying balance sheet were they to exist.

Recently Issued
Accounting Standards

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities. This FASB FSP amends SFAS No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46
(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest
entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not
the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The
disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferors continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprises involvement with variable interest
entities and qualifying SPEs. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008, and shall apply for each annual and interim reporting period thereafter. We believe that the adoption of this FSP will not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement was effective November 15, 2008. We currently adhere to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS 162, and the adoption is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and requires enhanced disclosures. FSP 142-3 must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets acquired as of and subsequent to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
Management does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This statement clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is
presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141
called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business
combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the
acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of
the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS
No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all companies to choose to measure eligible items at
fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, a company shall report in earnings any unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the
beginning of a companys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the company also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (see below). The Company has not elected to use the fair value option permitted under SFAS No. 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for one year as it applies to certain items, including assets and liabilities initially
measured at fair value in a business combination, reporting units and certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and long-lived assets measured at fair
value for impairment assessments under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ELDORADO RESORTS LLC

Resorts financial statements are not consolidated with the financial statements of the Company and are included herein, along with the following discussion, to assist investors in understanding the Company.

The terms we, us and our, as used in the following managements discussion and analysis refer to
Eldorado Resorts LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires. When we use the term Resorts it refers only to Eldorado Resorts LLC. These terms, as used in this managements discussion and
analysis, do not include our unconsolidated joint ventures unless the context otherwise requires.

Overview

Resorts, which was formed in June 1996, owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel & Casino (the Eldorado-Reno), a premier hotel/casino and
entertainment facility in Reno, Nevada, and manages Eldorado Casino Shreveport, an all suite art deco-style hotel and a tri-level riverboat dockside casino complex situated on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana (the
Eldorado-Shreveport) that is owned by a partnership of which two wholly owned subsidiaries of Resorts are the partners. Resorts 96% owned subsidiary, Eldorado Limited Liability Company, a Nevada limited liability company
(ELLC), owns a 50% interest in a general partnership (the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) which owns the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the Silver Legacy), a major, themed hotel/casino located adjacent to
Eldorado-Reno. Resorts also owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack, a small casino in south Reno.

Eldorado Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts (Eldorado Capital) was established solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of 101/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 co-issued by Resorts and Eldorado Capital (the 101/2% Notes). Eldorado Capital also served as a co-issuer of 9% senior notes due 2014 issued by Resorts and Eldorado Capital on April 20, 2004 (the 9% Notes), the net
proceeds of which were used with other funds to retire the 101/2% Notes. Eldorado Capital holds no significant assets and
conducts no business activity.

Two Nevada limited liability companies wholly owned by Resorts, Eldorado Shreveport
#1, LLC (ES#1) and Eldorado Shreveport #2, LLC (ES#2 and, collectively with ES#1, the Investors), Resorts and Hollywood Casino Shreveport, a then unaffiliated Louisiana general partnership (the Louisiana
Partnership), entered into an Investment Agreement dated as of October 18, 2004 (the Investment Agreement) pursuant to which the Investors agreed to acquire a controlling general partnership interest (representing all of the
voting interests) in the Louisiana Partnership, which owns and operates Eldorado-Shreveport. Pursuant to a Joint Plan of Debtors and Bondholders Committee (the Plan) confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of
Louisiana, Shreveport Division (Case No. 04-13259), on July 22, 2005, ES#1 and ES#2 acquired 74% and 1%, respectively, of the partnership interests of the Louisiana Partnership, representing all of the voting partnership interests of the
Louisiana Partnership, for $5.0 million in cash. On the same date, ES#1, the managing general partner of the Louisiana Partnership, also acquired 55,006 shares of the common stock of Shreveport Gaming Holdings, Inc., an unaffiliated Delaware
corporation which then owned a 25% non-voting partnership interest in the Louisiana Partnership (SGH), for $1,266,667 and exercised its option to convert the shares into (i) an additional 1.4% non-voting partnership interest in the
Louisiana Partnership and (ii) the right to distributions by the Louisiana Partnership in respect of $1.12 million of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and the Preferred Return in respect of such Preferred
Capital Contribution Amount (each as defined in the Louisiana Partnerships Fifth Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement). As a result of the closing on March 20, 2008 of the Louisiana Partnerships call of the other 23.6%
partnership interest held by SGH, ES#1 and ES#2 now own all of the partnership interests in the Louisiana Partnership other than SGHs rights relating to its Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and its Preferred Return
(as those terms are defined in the partnership agreement). Pursuant to the Plan, on July 21, 2005, the Louisiana Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shreveport Capital Corporation, a Louisiana corporation (Shreveport
Capital and collectively with the Louisiana Partnership, the Shreveport Issuers) co-issued $140 million aggregate principal amount of 10% First Mortgage Notes due 2012 (the New Shreveport Notes) and the Shreveport
Issuers previously outstanding $150 million aggregate principal amount of 13% First Mortgage Notes due 2006 with Contingent Interest and $39 million aggregate principal amount of 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2006 with Contingent Interest were
cancelled. Resorts acquired ES#1 and ES#2 from Donald L. Carano and Gary L. Carano for $2.0 million, representing their cost, pursuant to a membership units option agreement dated September 28, 2004, by and among Donald L. Carano, Gary L.
Carano and Resorts. The membership interests in ES#1 and ES#2 were originally held by Donald L. Carano and Gary L. Carano because it was anticipated that the Shreveport transactions would be consummated prior to Resorts receipt of the
requisite approvals it would need from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board in order to acquire an interest in the Louisiana Partnership. As of December 31, 2008, Resorts investment in ES#1 and ES#2, including the consideration paid for the
acquisition of the membership interests in these entities and additional capital contributions, totaled $6.3 million.

Resorts accounts for
its investment in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and Tamarack, utilizing the equity method of accounting. Resorts owned an 18% interest in MindPlay LLC (an entity which sold all of its assets in February 2004 and was dissolved in March 2008).
Resorts consolidated net (loss) income includes its proportional share of the net (loss) income before taxes of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, Tamarack, and MindPlay.

General

The following management discussion and analysis relates to Resorts consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and
analysis of Resorts results of operations and financial condition that follows are based upon the information in the consolidating financial statements for Resorts and its restricted subsidiaries included with this report. The preparation of
the financial statements included in this report and consolidating financial statements require that Resorts apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are
subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The judgments are based on Resorts historical experience, terms of existing contracts, its observance of trends in the industry, information provided by its customers and information available from
other outside sources, as appropriate. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, there is no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates used in applying the following critical accounting policies.

Accounting for Unconsolidated Affiliates

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Resorts and its subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates which are 50% or less owned and do not meet the consolidation criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 46(R) (as amended), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities  an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46(R)), are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

Resorts accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) D-46 Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments. Resorts considers whether the fair values of any of its equity method investments have declined below their
carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If Resorts considers any such decline to be other than temporary, then a write-down would be recorded to estimate fair value.
Estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated future results of the investee and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rate. As a result of Resorts annual impairment test on its
investments, it recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $16.55 million in 2008 relating solely to its investment in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. The impairment charge resulted from factors impacted by current economic conditions, including:
1) lower market valuation multiples for gaming assets; 2) higher discount rates resulting from turmoil in the credit and equity markets; and 3) current cash flow forecasts for the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life or lease term. Judgments are made in determining estimated useful lives and salvage values of these assets. The accuracy of these estimates affects
the amount of depreciation expense recognized in our financial results and whether we have a gain or loss on the disposal of assets. Resorts reviews depreciation estimates and methods as new events occur, more experience is acquired, and additional
information is obtained that would possibly change our current estimates. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset is compared to its carrying value to
determine whether an impairment exists. If it is determined that the asset is impaired based on expected future undiscounted cash flows, a loss, measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset,
would be recognized. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying values of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Reserve for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

Resorts reserves an estimated amount for
receivables that may not be collected. Methodologies for estimating bad debt reserves range from specific reserves to various percentages applied to aged receivables. Historical collection rates are considered, as are customer relationships, in
determining specific reserves. As with many estimates, management must make judgments about potential actions by third parties in establishing and evaluating our reserves for bad debts.



40



---

Self Insurance Reserves

The Eldorado is self insured for its group health and workmens compensation programs. Resorts utilizes historical claims information provided by its third party administrators to
make estimates for known pending claims as well as claims that have been incurred, but not reported as of the balance sheet date. In order to mitigate our potential exposure, Resorts has an individual claim stop loss policy on its group health
claims and an aggregate stop loss policy on our workmens compensation claims. If it becomes aware of significant claims or material changes affecting our estimates, Resorts would increase its reserves in the period in which it made such a
determination and record the additional expense.

Players Club Point Liability

Resorts players club allows customers to earn points based on the volume of their gaming activity. Under the terms of the program,
these points are redeemable for certain complimentary services, at their discretion, including rooms, food, beverage, retail and entertainment tickets. Resorts accrues the expense for unredeemed complimentaries, after consideration of estimated
breakage, as they are earned. The value of the cost to provide the complimentaries is expensed as redeemed and is included in casino expense on our consolidating statement of operations. To arrive at the estimated cost associated with Resorts
players club, estimates and assumptions are made regarding incremental marginal costs of the benefits, breakage rates and the mix of goods and services for which the points will be redeemed. Resorts uses historical data to assist in the
determination of estimated accruals. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was accrued for the cost of the incremental anticipated redemptions and is included in accrued other liabilities on our consolidating
balance sheets.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

Resorts utilizes estimates for litigation, claims and assessments. These estimates are based on its knowledge and experience regarding current and past events, as well as assumptions about future events. If
Resorts assessment of such a matter should change, it may have to change the estimates, which may have an adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In
December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and
Interests in Variable Interest Entities. This FASB FSP amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require public entities to provide
additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable
interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor
of a qualifying special purpose entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant
variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferors
continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprises involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008, and shall
apply for each annual and interim reporting period thereafter. We believe that the adoption of this FSP will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This statement
is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP.
This statement was effective November 15, 2008. We currently adhere to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS 162, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and requires enhanced
disclosures. FSP 142-3 must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets acquired as of and subsequent to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.



41



---

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging ActivitiesAn Amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Management does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to
be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on Resorts results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This statement
replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for
all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the
acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at
their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS
No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all companies to choose to measure eligible items at
fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, a company shall report in earnings any unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the
beginning of a companys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the company also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (see below). The company has not elected to use the fair value option permitted under FAS No. 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for one year as it applies to certain items, including assets and liabilities initially
measured at fair value in a business combination, reporting units and certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and long-lived assets measured at fair
value for impairment assessments under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Factors Impacting Operating Trends

Resorts marketing strategy is designed to take advantage of
our proximity to the large population base of the greater San Francisco, Sacramento and Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan areas and other major markets by targeting the local day-trip market and by utilizing our hotel rooms to expand our patron mix to
include overnight visitors. We also coordinate our restaurant and entertainment promotions to encourage overnight stays. By utilizing the data in our casino information systems, we are able to identify our premium patrons, encourage their
participation in our casino players card program and design promotions and special events to target this market.

Economic Impact

Throughout 2008, volatility and disruption in the financial markets, escalating unemployment and an unstable housing market contributed to a weakening national economy, which negatively impacted northern Nevada and
northern California. This weakening in the economy has resulted in declines in discretionary spending which has negatively impacted the results of operations of Resorts and it is uncertain if these conditions will improve in the near term. In
response to the difficult economic environment, management has and continues to address areas for potential cost savings and revenue generations.

Expansion of Native American Gaming

A significant portion of Resorts revenues and operating income are generated from
patrons who are residents of northern California and northern Texas, and as such, our operations have been adversely impacted by the growth in Native American gaming in northern California and, to a lesser extent, in Oklahoma. In addition to
existing gaming facilities, several Native American tribes have announced that they are in the process of developing or are considering establishing large-scale gaming facilities in northern California. Management believes the greatest impact from
Native American gaming to Resorts customer base is to its day-trippers, those patrons whose visit is for one day and does not include an overnight stay. These customers are typically not tracked players, as they tend not to be as loyal a
customer as those who visit for more than one day at a time.

Most Native American tribes in California currently may operate up to 2,000
slot machines, and up to two gaming facilities may be operated on any one reservation. The number of machines the tribes are allowed to operate may increase as a result of any new or amended compacts the tribes may enter into with the State of
California that receive the requisite approvals, such as has been the case with respect to a number of new or amended compacts that have been executed and approved. For example, in September 2004, the Thunder Valley Casino received approval of
amendments to its compact allowing for approximately 800 additional machines which were placed in operation during the fourth quarter of 2004 and increased the number of machines at this property to approximately 2,700.

In April 2007, the California Senate approved amendments to the compacts of five Native American tribes. In June 2007, the California Assembly approved
four of these five amendments which increased the number of slot machines permitted to be operated by two of the four tribes from 2,000 to 5,000 each and increased the number that may be operated by each of the other two tribes from 2,000 to 7,500.
In February 2008, California voters approved these four increases with their approval of gaming referendums on their statewide ballot. Management believes that the increase in the number of slot machines permitted to be operated by these four tribes
will not significantly impact Eldorado-Renos and Silver Legacys operations since the casinos operated by those tribes are located in southern California.

In September 2008, the Governor of California signed a bill, which is subject to approval by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, ratifying an amendment to the compact of a tribe located in northern California to increase
from 2,000 to 5,000 the number of slot machines that may be operated by this tribe. This tribe opened a casino located 20 miles east of Sacramento in December 2008 that currently offers 2,000 slot machines. The amendment of the compact of this
tribe, and new compacts or modifications to existing compacts of other tribes that currently operate or may operate casinos in central or northern California to provide similar increases to the number of slot machines permitted to be operated, could
have a material adverse impact on our operations, depending on the number of such tribes securing new or modified compacts, the number of additional machines permitted and the locations of the properties utilizing the additional machines.

We believe the continued growth of Native American gaming establishments, including the addition of hotel rooms and other amenities, could
continue to place additional competitive pressure on our operations. While we cannot predict the extent of any future impact, it could be significant.

Although casino gaming is currently not permitted in Texas, the Texas legislature has from time to time considered proposals to authorize casino gaming. In July 2003, the Chickasaw Nation announced the opening of
WinStar Casinos, a Las Vegas-style, 110,000-square-foot gaming facility located in Oklahoma approximately 60 miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In December 2008, the WinStar Casino completed the expansion of its casino space to a total
of 519,000 square feet with more than 5,800 electronic gaming devices, numerous table games, 46 poker tables and an 800-seat bingo hall. The property also has a 2,500-seat event center. Planned additions in 2009 include a 400-room hotel and a
150-space RV park. Although gaming in Oklahoma is limited by law to Class II-type games, which games have previously been technologically incapable of offering a similar entertainment experience to our Class III-type games, recent innovations have
allowed the Class II-type product to compete much more effectively than in the past. In November 2004, voters in Oklahoma approved several ballot initiatives which, when fully implemented, will (1) allow Class II-type games at three
Oklahoma racetracks, the closest of which is approximately 200 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth area; (2) allow several new electronic gaming devices, including video poker, that are defined as games of skill at native-American
casinos; and (3) allow certain player-pooled table games such as poker and blackjack at native-American casinos. Since Eldorado-Shreveport draws a significant amount of its customers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but is located
approximately 190 miles from that area, we believe we will continue to face increased competition at Eldorado-Shreveport from the WinStar Casinos and similar types of facilities in the markets from which Eldorado-Shreveport draws its customers.

Severe Weather

Eldorado-Renos operations are subject to seasonal variation, with the weakest results generally occurring during the winter months. Variations occur when weather conditions make travel to Reno by visitors from
northern California, our main feeder market, difficult. During March 2006, northern California experienced record rainfall causing flooding and mudslides which caused several highway closures. As a result, there was a significant adverse affect on
our hotel occupancy and slots, table games, and restaurant volume during these months. Weather conditions were not out of the ordinary in 2007. The Reno area and the nearby mountain passes experienced an especially large amount of snowfall in the
first part of 2008, which negatively impacted business levels during this timeframe as compared to the prior year.

Major Bowling Tournament in the Reno
Market

The National Bowling Stadium, located one block from Eldorado-Reno, is one of the largest bowling complexes in North America and
has been selected to host multi-month tournaments in Reno two of every three years through 2018. The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) has reached an agreement to bring the 2011 USBC Open Tournament to the National Bowling Stadium, a
year that was previously scheduled to be an off year for Reno. Historically, these bowling tournaments have attracted a significant number of visitors to the Reno market and have benefited the downtown area. In 2007, the USBC tournament was held in
the downtown Reno area over the period from mid-February through June. Both men and women bowlers participated in the USBC Open Tournament which attracted approximately 80,000 bowlers to the Reno market during the tournament period. In 2006, the
USBC Womens Tournament took place from mid-March through the first week of July and brought approximately 50,000 bowlers to downtown Reno. The absence of a major bowling tournament in 2008 had a negative impact on operations in the first half
of 2008. The USBC Womens Tournament and USBC Open Tournament will return to the Reno market in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Other Factors
Affecting Results of Operations

Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers visiting and staying at our
resorts. Key volume indicators include table games drop and slot handle, which refer to amounts wagered by our customers. The amount of volume we retain, which is not fully controllable by us, is recognized as casino revenues and is referred to as
our win or hold. In addition, hotel occupancy and price per room designated by average daily rate (ADR) are key indicators for our hotel business.

Net Revenues. Resorts had a slight decrease in net revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. While casino revenues increased in 2008, all other revenue segments decreased compared to 2007. Eldorado-Reno had decreases in all revenue centers in 2008. Management believes
Renos tourism market has been negatively impacted by the aforementioned difficult economic environment faced by our customers, especially in our primary feeder markets in northern California, along with record high gasoline prices that our
customers experienced in the second quarter of 2008 which negatively affected drive-in visitor traffic and the continued increase in competition generated by growth in Native American gaming. In 2007, we experienced escalated visitor traffic
generated in downtown Reno by the previously discussed USBC Open Tournament, which began in mid-February and continued through June of 2007. Eldorado-Shreveports net revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007
due to increases in all revenue segments except for a slight decrease in other revenue. Both the implementation of new marketing programs and capital improvements made to the property (including the addition of new slot machines) contributed to the
increases in customer patronage in 2008.

Resorts increase in net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2006 was due to positive gains among all revenue segments in 2007. Eldorado-Reno was able to achieve growth in these areas primarily as a result of the increased visitor traffic generated in downtown Reno by the previously
discussed USBC Open Tournament. This tournament began in mid-February of 2007 while the 2006 USBC Womens Tournament did not commence until mid-March. Management feels that record rainfall in March 2006 in northern California also limited the
number of Eldorado-Renos and Silver Legacys customers who visited the Reno area in 2006. During the latter half of 2007, Management believes Renos tourism market was negatively impacted by the aforementioned slowdown in the
national economy, especially in our primary feeder markets in northern California, along with increased gasoline prices which negatively affected drive-in visitor traffic and the continued increase in competition generated by growth in Native
American gaming. The additional passage of time since the resolution of uncertainties concerning Eldorado-Shreveports sale, the implementation of new marketing programs and capital improvements made to the property (including the addition of
new slot machines) all contributed to increased customer volume at Eldorado-Shreveport resulting in increases among all revenue segments in 2007.

Equity in (Loss) Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates.Earnings from Resorts unconsolidated affiliates, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and Tamarack, decreased approximately $9.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008, equity in income of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture decreased approximately $8.6 million as compared to 2007. This decrease was primarily a result of declines in casino, room and food revenues as a
result of the aforementioned factors affecting net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007, equity in income in Tamarack decreased approximately $314,000, due to decreased revenues and increased payroll expenses.

Earnings from the Resorts unconsolidated affiliates, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and Tamarack, for the year ended
December 31, 2007 remained consistent with 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, equity in income of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture decreased approximately $0.4 million as compared to 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of
lower casino revenues combined with increases in promotional allowance costs, depreciation expense and selling, general and administrative expenditures along with higher food and beverage expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007 compared
to 2006, equity in income in Tamarack increased approximately $410,000, due to increased casino revenues along with decreased operating expenses.

Operating Income and Net (Loss)Income.For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating and net income decreased, primarily due to a decrease in income from our unconsolidated affiliates, increased casino expenses,
acquisition termination charges associated with the Evansville, Indiana transaction, and an impairment in investment in joint venture. In 2008, operating expenses decreased in all operating segments compared to the prior year primarily as a result
of decreased business levels. Management has addressed the decrease in operating and net income through payroll reductions implemented in April and continued throughout 2008 along with an increase in the employee contribution for group insurance in
April of 2008. In the first quarter of 2007, we recorded a $1.6 million loss on disposition of long-lived assets from the charitable contribution of land to the City of Reno to allow for the construction of a new city-owned ballroom facility, which
opened in February 2008 and is being operated and managed by Silver Legacy, Eldorado Resorts LLC and Circus-Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno. Resorts recognized $3.1 million bond interest income in 2008 as a result of the transaction described under
Newport Global Transaction, below, in which Resorts received approximately $31.1 million principal amount of 10% First Mortgage Notes due 2012, co-issued by the Louisiana Partnership and Shreveport Capital (the New Shreveport
Notes) in exchange for a 14.47% equity interest in Resorts. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Resorts recognized a $6.8 million expense relating to the termination of the Evansville, Indiana transaction (See Note 1 of the Notes to our
Consolidated Financial Statements). As a result of Resorts annual impairment test on its investments, Resorts recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $16.55 million in 2008 relating solely to its investment in the Silver Legacy Joint
Venture. The impairment charge resulted from factors impacted by current economic conditions, including: 1) lower market valuation multiples for gaming assets; 2) higher discount rates resulting from turmoil in the credit and equity markets; and 3)
current cash flow forecasts for the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

During 2007, as compared to the prior year, operating and net income
decreased, primarily related to increased promotional allowances, and increased casino expenses along with higher departmental operating expenses. The increase in departmental operating expenses is partially due to increased payroll expenditures
associated with salary and wage adjustments, along with an increase in the minimum wage, made to be competitive with industry standards and an increase in group health insurance in 2007. In the first quarter of 2007, Eldorado-Reno experienced a $1.6
million loss on disposition of long-lived assets from the aforementioned charitable contribution of land to the City of Reno to allow for the construction of the new city-owned ballroom facility. Eldorado-Shreveport recognized a loss on disposal of
assets of $0.6 million which was recorded during the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the sale and write off of property and equipment replaced as part of the updating and remodeling of its casino space. Interest expense increased $680,000 in
2007 offset by an increase in interest income of $573,000 in the period. Resorts recognized equity in loss in MindPlay of $79,000 in the 2006 period and none in 2007 due to losses exceeding the investment.

Casino Revenues. Casino revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2007, due to a 1.5% increase in slot handle, an increase in table games and slot hold percentage partially offset by a 4.1% decrease table games drop. Eldorado-Reno casino revenues decreased primarily due to decreases in
table games drop and slot handle of 11.2% and 10.0%, respectively, and a decrease in slot hold percentage, partially offset by a higher table games hold percentage in 2008. We believe casino volume and revenues during 2008 were negatively impacted
by the previously discussed economic factors affecting net revenues. Eldorado-Shreveport casino revenues increased $14.6 million to $149.2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $134.6 million in the prior year. Slot
revenues increased by $11.6 million, or 11.7%, during 2008 compared to the prior year. The slot revenue increase results from a 9.2% increase in slot coin-in coupled with a slot machine hold percentage increase in 2008. Table games revenue
increased $3.5 million, or 11.3%, during 2008 as a result of an increase in table drop coupled with an increase in the table games hold percentage during 2008.

Casino revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, increased 1.1% due to a 10.4% increase in slot handle partially offset by a 6.5% decrease in table games
drop and a lower table games and slot hold percentage. Eldorado-Reno casino revenues increased 1.1%, from approximately $89.7 million in the 2006 period to approximately $90.6 million in 2007, due to a 1.2% increase in slot coin-in and a slightly
higher slot hold percentage offset by a decrease in table games hold percentage. While table games drop remained consistent with the prior year, table games credit play of our high-end players decreased in 2007. This decrease was
offset by increased cash play primarily related to the aforementioned USBC Open Tournament. Eldorado-Shreveport casino revenues increased $1.4 million, from $134.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $133.1 million the
prior year. This increase reflects an increase in slot machine wagering which was partially offset by decreases in table game wagering and in both the table game and slot machine hold percentages. Slot revenues increased by $8.6 million, or 9.4%,
during 2007 compared to 2006. The slot revenue increase results from a 12.6% increase in slot coin-in partially offset by a slot machine hold percentage decrease in 2007. Table games revenue decreased $6.6 million, or 17.6%, during 2007 as a
result of a 6.9% decrease in table drop coupled with a decrease in the table games hold percentage during 2007.

Food, Beverage and
Entertainment Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2008, food, beverage and entertainment revenues decreased approximately $5.8 million at Eldorado-Reno and increased approximately $2.1 million at Eldorado-Shreveport. Eldorado-Reno
food revenues decreased due to decreases in restaurant customer counts of 14.1%, partially offset by a higher average check. We believe restaurant customer counts were negatively impacted in the first half of 2008 due to the remodeling of the
Eldorado-Reno buffet. In addition, beverage revenues decreased 19.6% in 2008, as a result of decreased visitor traffic and the closing of the BuBinga Lounge nightclub in September 2008. Entertainment revenues also decreased due to lower occupancy in
Eldorado-Renos showroom. Eldorado-Shreveports food and beverage revenues increased due to increased customer volume and the increased use of complimentaries.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, food, beverage and entertainment revenues increased approximately $1.3 million at Eldorado-Reno and approximately $3.1 million at Eldorado-Shreveport. Eldorado-Reno
experienced a higher average check in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of selective price increases in its restaurants partially offset by a 5.7% decrease in restaurant customer counts. Entertainment revenues increased in 2007
due to increases in the third quarter of 2007 as occupancy increased in Eldorado-Renos showroom due to the success of a new show. Eldorado-Shreveports food and beverage revenues increased during 2007 by $3.1 million, or 14.8%, compared
to 2006 primarily due to increased customer volume and the increased use of complimentaries.

Hotel Revenues. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, room revenues decreased approximately $2.0 million due to a decrease in ADR partially offset by a slightly increased hotel occupancy percentage. Eldorado-Renos hotel revenues decreased due to a lower ADR and hotel
occupancy percentage of approximately $66.35 and 84.1%, respectively, compared to approximately $74.29 and 85.1%, respectively, in 2007. The decrease in ADR was partly attributable to the absence of a major bowling tournament when the USBC
tournament, which began in mid-February of 2007 and continued through June 2007, along with additional convention business in the Reno market, helped increase the average room rate and hotel occupancy percentage. Eldorado-Shreveport hotel revenues
increased slightly as a result of an increase in the hotel occupancy rate from 87.2% during 2007 to 89.6% during 2008 while the ADR declined from $70.13 during 2007 to $69.41 during 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, room revenues increased approximately $1.7 million due to an
increase in ADR partially offset by a slightly decreased hotel occupancy percentage. Eldorado-Renos hotel revenue increased to $18.8 million in 2007 as compared $17.3 million in 2006 as a result of ADR increasing to $74.29 in 2007 from $66.67
in 2006 while the hotel occupancy rate decreased slightly from 87.2% during 2006 to 85.1% during 2007. The increase in ADR at Eldorado-Reno was mainly attributable to increased room rates during the USBC tournament which began in mid-February of
2007 along with additional convention business in the Reno market. The occupancy percentages are based upon the total number of rooms whether in service or not. For the year ended December 31, 2007, hotel room remodeling negatively impacted our
hotel occupancy, which reduced the number of available room nights by approximately 10,428 compared with 13,117 in the prior year, including during holidays and select weekends when we generally would have otherwise achieved an occupancy level at or
near capacity. Eldorado-Shreveport hotel revenues increased by $0.3 million, or 3.1%, as a result of an increase in the hotel occupancy rate from 85.6% during 2006 to 87.2% during 2007 coupled with an increase in the ADR from approximately $69 in
2006 to approximately $70 in 2007.

Promotional Allowances. For the year ended December 31, 2008, promotional allowances,
expressed as a percentage of casino revenues, were 19.1% compared to 19.5% in 2007 and 17.5% in 2006. In 2008, the amount of promotional allowances decreased at Eldorado-Reno due to lower casino volume while promotional allowances at
Eldorado-Shreveport increased reflecting an increase in food and beverage and retail complimentaries as part of that propertys marketing programs. In 2007, Eldorado-Reno increased the amount of complimentaries certain slot customers are
awarded resulting in increased redemption of complimentaries earned. Eldorado-Shreveport feels the increase in such promotional activities helped drive increases in patron volume associated with the overall 10.2% increase in combined table drop and
slot handle.

Casino Expenses. Casino expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008,
primarily due to increases in expenses at Eldorado-Shreveport associated with increased gaming taxes as a result of increases experienced in patron volume. Marketing expenses, which are included in casino expenses, increased as increases in
giveaways, cash coupons, patron transportation costs and special events were partially offset by decreases in print and billboard advertising. The net increase in marketing expenses reflects the ongoing refinement of marketing programs. These
increases in casino expense were partially offset by decreases in payroll expenditures resulting from managements efforts to contain costs. Eldorado-Renos casino expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to lower
payroll expenditures, gaming taxes, and a decrease in the redemption of complimentaries as a result of fewer customers, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses.

Casino expenses increased approximately $463,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to increases in expenses at Eldorado-Reno
associated with its casino promotions and Club Eldorado, its slot complimentary program, increases in marker discounts given to select high-end gaming customers along with costs associated with its direct mail program. Eldorado-Reno
casino expenses increased 4.1%, or approximately $1.9 million, to approximately $48.7 million in 2007 compared to approximately $46.8 million in 2006. Eldorado-Shreveport casino expenses decreased slightly by $1.4 million, or 1.9%, during 2007
compared to the prior year. Marketing expenses, which are included in casino expenses, decreased by $0.8 million as significant reductions in cash coupon promotional activities, costs associated with customer development activities and advertising
expenditures were partially offset by increases in giveaways and expenses associated with patron transport. The net decrease in marketing expenses reflects the ongoing refinement of our marketing programs. Payroll and benefits decreased by $0.8
million and participation fees decreased by $0.5 million during 2007 compared to the prior year reflecting Eldorado-Shreveports continual modifications to its gaming floor mix. These casino expense decreases were partially offset by an
increase of $0.9 million in gaming taxes resulting from increased patron volume.

Food, Beverage and Entertainment Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2008, food,
beverage and entertainment expenses decreased as compared to 2007. Eldorado-Renos food, beverage and entertainment expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower payroll expenditures and cost of sales associated with fewer customers in its
restaurants and bars along with the closing of its nightclub in September 2008. Entertainment expenses also decreased in 2008 due to lower show production costs. Eldorado-Shreveport food and beverage expenses increased in 2008 compared to 2007,
reflecting the increase in the associated revenues combined with increased food and beverage costs and partially offset by operating efficiencies.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, food, beverage and entertainment expenses increased as compared to 2006. Eldorado-Renos expenses increased approximately $1.1 million, or 4.0%, to approximately $29.4 million as a result of

food and beverage expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 2.2%, during 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting the increase in the associated revenues, partially offset by operating cost efficiencies.

Hotel Expenses. Hotel expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to 2007. Eldorado-Reno hotel expenses decreased
slightly due to lower payroll expenditures partially offset by an increase in amenities provided to hotel guests. Eldorado-Shreveport hotel expenses increased during 2008 reflecting higher occupancy rates and operating costs.

Hotel expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to 2006. Eldorado-Reno experienced an increase of $324,000 primarily due
to an increase in payroll expenditures, as it adjusted the wages of select personnel within the department to remain competitive within the industry, increased group insurance and travel agent commissions paid associated with additional conventions
and the USBC Open Tournament held in 2007. Eldorado-Shreveport hotel expenses decreased slightly by 1.6% during 2007 as operating efficiencies offset costs associated with increased occupancies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense and Management Fees. For the year ended December 31, 2008, selling, general and administrative
expenses and management fees decreased due to Eldorado-Renos lower payroll expenditures, legal expenses and management fees partially offset by increased utility expenses. General and administrative expenses at Eldorado-Shreveport increased
due to additional sales taxes imposed.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses and
management fees increased approximately $2.8 million primarily due to increases in property taxes at the Shreveport property along with increased professional services and payroll expenditures in the general management and facilities departments at
Eldorado-Reno.

Resorts pays management fees to Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management, Inc., the owners of 47% and 25%
of the Resorts equity interests, respectively. The management fees paid to Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management, Inc. totaled $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $600,000 for each of the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the
year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of Eldorado-Shreveport adding approximately $4.7 million of property and equipment in renovations and enhancements to its facility, thereby increasing the depreciable basis of
its fixed assets. Eldorado-Reno depreciation expense increased slightly in 2008 as more assets were placed into service primarily related to the buffet remodel.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of Eldorado-Shreveport adding approximately $6.3 million of property and equipment in
renovations and enhancements to its facility, thereby increasing the depreciable basis of its fixed assets. Eldorado-Reno depreciation decreased by $0.2 million for year ended December 31, 2007, as more assets became fully depreciated during
2007.

Since its acquisition, Eldorado-Shreveport has added approximately $25.1 million of property and equipment in renovations and
enhancements, thereby increasing the depreciable basis of its fixed assets. In addition, Eldorado-Shreveport commenced amortization (amounting to $0.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006) with respect to the
intangible asset for customer relationships established as part of the Effective Date revaluation of assets to fair value. These increases were partially offset by reductions in depreciation expense resulting from the revaluation of the Louisiana
Partnerships fixed assets to their fair market values as determined by the results of an independent appraisal together with the associated adoption of revised depreciable lives for these fixed assets at the Effective Date.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is comprised of interest expense, interest income, and other income (loss).

For the
year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense decreased to $22.6 million compared to $25.0 million in 2007. Interest expense at Eldorado-Shreveport, which primarily reflects the accrual of interest on the New Shreveport Notes and the Preferred
Capital Contribution Amount, decreased by $0.4 million as interest expense with respect to the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount decreased as a result of the August 2007 payment of all deferred interest accrued through July 31, 2007.
Accordingly, the Preferred Return has subsequently been calculated on a reduced principal balance. Eldorado-Reno interest expense was $7.7 and $6.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2008, Eldorado-Reno interest expense increased primarily
due to financing fees of $0.9 million related to the Evansville transaction along with an increase in outstanding borrowing, partially offset by a lower average interest rate. Eldorado-Reno recognized bond interest income in 2008 in the amount of
$3.1 million compared to interest income of $254,000 in 2007, as a result of the NGA transaction in which Eldorado-Reno received approximately $31.1 million principal amount of New Shreveport Bonds in exchange for a 14.47% equity interest in Resorts
(See Newport Global Transaction, below). In 2007, Eldorado-Reno recognized approximately $100,000 in interest income from its escrow deposit relating to the Evansville transaction.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, interest expense increased by approximately $320,000, or 1.3%, to $25.3 million compared to $25.0 million for 2006. Interest
expense at Eldorado-Shreveport increased $0.5 million, or 3%, as a result of interest on an increased principal balance due to the issuance of additional New Shreveport Notes in lieu of cash interest payments on February 1 and August 1,
2006 and to the compounding of the Preferred Return on the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount. Eldorado-Reno interest expense was $6.7 and $6.9 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, Eldorado-Reno interest expense decreased primarily
due to a decrease in average interest rate. Interest income at Eldorado-Shreveport increased by $0.3 million, or 48.7%, during 2007 compared to 2006. During the first half of 2007, increased cash available for investment purposes and increases in
the rate of interest available for such investments provided additional interest income. This increase was partially offset during the second half of 2007 as cash available for investment purposes decreased as a result of the payment during 2007 of
(1) interest on the New Shreveport Notes ($15.6 million) and (2) Preferred Return on the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount ($6.8 million). Such payments were deferred during 2006 allowing the available cash balance to accumulate.
Eldorado-Reno recognized bond interest income for the last eighteen days of 2007 in the amount of $154,000 after the close of the NGA transaction in which Resorts received approximately $31.1 million principal amount of New Shreveport Bonds in
exchange for a 14.47% equity interest in Resorts (See Newport Global Transaction, below).

Eldorado-Reno recorded income of $239,000 in MindPlay from a settlement agreement with Ballys. Resorts financial investment in MindPlay was written down to $0 in 2006 and, as a result of dissolution, as of December 31, 2008,

Hotel/casino operations in the Shreveport/Bossier City market are subject to slight seasonal
variations, with the strongest operating results generally occurring in the first quarter of each year and the weakest results generally occurring during the fourth quarter. Results during 2006 varied from the historic pattern due to uncertainties
prior to the emergence of Eldorado-Shreveport from bankruptcy in July 2005 and the subsequent operational and physical changes to the property under Resorts management.

corporations (after giving effect to the federal income tax deduction for such state and local income or franchise taxes). Eldorado-Shreveport made a total of $1.5 million in tax distribution for the year ended December 31, 2008, to ES#1 and
ES#2, wholly owned subsidiaries of Resorts. Eldorado-Shreveport made no distributions in 2007 or 2006.

Our future sources of liquidity are
anticipated to be from our operating cash flow, funds available from Resorts credit facility, and capital lease financing for certain fixed asset purchases. Eldorado-Renos anticipated uses of cash in 2009 will be for (i) new slot
machines ($1.0 million), (ii) hotel remodeling ($1.0 million), and (iii) recurring capital expenditures (estimated at approximately $2.0 million), and (v) debt service. Eldorado-Shreveport is planning to spend approximately $10
million for capital expenditures during 2009. Anticipated expenditures include costs associated with purchases of slot machines, hotel room and buffet renovations, other general facility renovations and other operating equipment. We believe our
capital resources are adequate to meet our obligations, including the funding of our debt service and recurring capital expenditures.

At
December 31, 2008, Resorts had outstanding (i) $64.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9% Notes, (ii) $12.75 million principal amount of borrowings under the credit facility, and (iii) the $2.4 million principal amount
of indebtedness under the Aircraft Note. At December 31, 2008, the Louisiana Partnership had outstanding (i) $155.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the New Shreveport Notes, and (ii) $20.4 million of 13% Preferred Equity
Interest.

At December 31, 2008, Resorts had $9.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at Eldorado-Reno and, after giving effect to
then outstanding borrowings, it had approximately $17.25 million of borrowing capacity under its credit facility, of which $6.0 could be utilized under the most restrictive of its loan covenants. Resorts borrowing capacity under those
covenants can fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter depending upon its operating cash flow. Resorts credit facility is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of February 28, 2011. On March 13, 2009, the
credit facility was amended to reduce, as of that date, to $20 million, and further reduce by $1.0 million at the end of each quarter thereafter, the amount of credit available under the facility. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest,
at Resorts option, at either (i) the greater of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its Prime Rate or (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus .50% (Base Rate) or (ii) a
Eurodollar rate determined in accordance with the credit facility. The effective rate of interest on borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2008 was 3.65% per annum. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of
Resorts real property. The credit facility includes various restrictions and other covenants that are applicable to Resorts and its restricted subsidiaries including: (i) restrictions on the disposition of property, (ii) restrictions
on investments and acquisitions, (iii) restrictions on distributions to members of Resorts, (iv) restrictions on the incurrence of liens and negative pledges, (v) restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of
guarantees, (vi) restrictions on transactions with affiliates and, (vii) restrictions on annual capital expenditures including capital leases. The credit facility contains financial covenants including a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio,
a maximum senior secured debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum equity requirement. On November 13, 2007, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., and Capital One, N.A. executed an amendment to the credit facility that
waived a default under the covenant relating to distributions and reduced the minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges from 1.25 to 1.1 under the credit facility with retroactive effect for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and for each
subsequent quarter through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2008. On March 28, 2008, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and Capital One, N.A. executed an additional amendment to the credit facility that waived the
default under the covenant relating to distributions and further reduced the minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges from 1.1 to 1.0 under the credit facility with retroactive effect for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and for each
subsequent quarter through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2008. On March 13, 2009, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and Capital One, N.A. executed an additional amendment to the credit facility that
retroactively reset the minimum members equity to $90.0 million at December 31, 2008, kept the total debt to EBITDA ratio at 4.0 to 1.0 through December 31, 2010, and eliminated from the EBITDA calculation the $6.8 million in
expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 in connection with the Evansville transaction. As of the date of the amendment, the amount of credit available pursuant to the credit facility was reduced to $20.0 million and by its terms, the
commitment reduces by an additional $1.0 million at the end of each subsequent quarter beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2009 until maturity. These changes are retroactive for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. As of
December 31, 2008, there was no event of default under the credit facility other than a default under the facilitys financial covenant relating to total debt to EBITDA which was cured by the aforementioned retroactive adjustment to the
provision in the credit facility relating to the calculation of EBITDA.

As of March 31, 2009, there was no event of default under the credit facility other than a default
under the facilitys financial covenant relating to minimum members equity. On May 8, 2009, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and Capital One, N.A. executed an amendment to the credit facility that that retroactively
reset the minimum members equity to $80.0 million at March 31, 2009 thus curing the default at March 31, 2009 under the facilitys financial covenant relating to minimum members equity.

On May 12, 2009, Resorts and Newport Global Advisors L.P. (Newport) executed an agreement (the Newport Agreement). Pursuant
to the Newport Agreement, if at any time Resorts believes that it may in the reasonably foreseeable future be in default of any of the provisions of Sections 6.13, 6.14, 6.15 or 6.16 of its credit facility, Newport will be obligated, within ten days
after a written request therefor, to make a loan to Resorts in the amount requested; provided, however, that a loan request may not be made after the earlier of the first anniversary of the Newport Agreement, or the maturity date of the credit
facility (including, for this purpose, any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof). The amount that may be borrowed under the Newport Agreement may not exceed the lesser of (i) the maximum amount which may at the time be borrowed by
Resorts without causing it to be in default of the limitations on indebtedness contained in Section 4.09 of the indenture relating to the 9% Notes (the Indenture) or (ii) such amount which is equal to the greater of (A) the
excess of (1) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans made to Resorts under (I) the credit facility and (II) the Loan and Aircraft Security Agreement (the Aircraft Loan Agreement) dated as of December 30,
2005 between Resorts and Banc of America Leasing and Capital, LLC (including for this purpose any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof) at the time of the written request, over (2) $5,000,000, or (B) at Newports option, the
amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding under the credit facility. Any loan under the Newport Agreement will bear interest at a rate mutually determined by Resorts and Newport, and principal and interest will be payable
on the 45th day of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the second fiscal quarter beginning after a loan is made) in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow (as defined), if any, of Resorts for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior
to the payment date, but, in any event, the entire unpaid principal balance of any loan made under the Newport Agreement and all accrued interest thereon will be payable in full no later than the first anniversary of the date of the loan. In the
event Newport makes a loan in an amount equal to the entire balance of principal and accrued interest then outstanding under the credit facility, or the loans under the credit facility or any successor loans are paid in full directly or indirectly
without using the proceeds of any loan(s) or other financing other than any loan made by Newport, and, in either case, the credit facility is terminated, Resorts will (subject to any required approvals of gaming regulators) be obligated to grant a
first lien to Newport on the collateral securing the credit facility to secure any loan made by Newport under the Newport Agreement; provided, however, that if such a lien cannot otherwise be granted without causing Resorts to violate the terms of
the Indenture, such lien may also equally and ratably secure the 9% Notes, and the loan made by Newport under the Newport Agreement will be pari passu in right of payment with the 9% Notes.

Subject to prior receipt by Resorts of all applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of Resorts Board of Managers, Resorts will be
obligated, if any loan is made under the Newport Agreement, to issue to Newport such number of membership interests in Resorts as is mutually agreed to by Resorts and Newport, it being the intention of the parties to the Newport Agreement that any
issuance of membership interests in Resorts be structured in such a manner as to not result in a Change of Control, as that term is defined in the Indenture.

It is anticipated that in the next few weeks Resorts will (subject to the consent of the lender under the Aircraft Loan Agreement) reach an agreement with the Louisiana Partnership to sell to the Louisiana Partnership
the aircraft which serves as collateral under the Aircraft Loan Agreement on terms that will relieve Resorts of any obligation for the indebtedness remaining under the Aircraft Loan Agreement. However, there is no assurance that such a transaction
will be consummated. In the event that the aircraft has not been sold by Resorts on or before July 1, 2009, Resorts will be obligated under the Newport Agreement to pay Newport a fee of $25,000 on July 1, 2009, which will be in addition to
a $25,000 commitment fee paid to Newport at the time the Newport Agreement was executed by the parties.

As used in the Newport Agreement,
the term Excess Cash Flow means, for any fiscal quarter, the amount computed by Resorts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as follows:



|(a) | Resorts net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and any extraordinary or non-recurring income for that quarter; minus
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | capital expenditures made by Resorts in that quarter; minus
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | interest, principal payments, fees and related expenses paid by Resorts in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money, capital and finance leases by Resorts, and draws upon any
letters of credit issued to third parties for Resorts benefit in respect of that quarter; minus
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | all income taxes, and distributions made to equity holders on account of, or with respect to, such equity holders allocable share of the taxable income of Resorts, paid in
cash by Resorts in that quarter.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In addition to
the covenants in the credit facility that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the credit facility contains other covenants imposing limitations on additional debt, dispositions of property, liens, change of control and mergers and
similar transactions. As of December 31, 2008, Resorts was in compliance with all of these other covenants. Resorts is also obligated to deliver its annual audited financial statements within 90 days of the end of the year. Resorts was not timely in
the delivery of this 2008 annual report containing these audited financial statements. Resorts provided its annual report on May 13, 2009 and management believes Resorts is currently in compliance with this provision of the credit facility, as
this requirement was satisfied by the delivery its annual report.

On December 30, 2005, Resorts entered into an agreement with Banc
of America Leasing & Capital, LLC in the amount of $3.0 million for the sole purpose of acquiring a 2000 Raytheon Aircraft Company Model B300 aircraft. The note evidencing the obligation (the Aircraft Note) is payable in monthly
installments of $30,526, beginning on January 30, 2006, including interest at 6.46% per annum, to December 30, 2012, when the remaining principal balance in the amount of $1,479,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, becomes due
and payable. The Aircraft Note is secured by the aircraft.

On March 31, 2008, Resorts and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of
Resorts (Resorts Indiana), entered into a definitive agreement (the Evansville Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts Indiana agreed to purchase from Aztar Riverboat Holding Company, LLC (the Seller) all of the
membership interests in Aztar Indiana Gaming Company, LLC (Aztar Indiana), an indirect subsidiary of Tropicana Casinos and Resorts. Aztar Indiana owns the Casino Aztar riverboat gaming and hotel property in Evansville, Indiana (the
Indiana Property). The agreement provided for a purchase price, subject to certain adjustments, of up to $245 million, consisting of $190 million of cash, a $30 million note to be issued by a new holding company of Resorts and up to $25
million that would be dependent on the performance of the Indiana Property during the 12 months following closing. At the time it entered into the Evansville Agreement, Resorts placed in escrow a $10 million deposit that was to be credited against
the purchase price and released and paid to the Seller upon the closing of the transaction. The purchase was subject to customary conditions including the receipt of requisite gaming approvals and the expiration or early termination of any waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvements Act of 1976. Beginning August 1, 2008, Resorts began incurring $196,000 per month in connection with the financing commitment for the Evansville transaction, and this amount increased to $245,000
per month after September 30, 2008 and was to continue until the earlier of the initial funding under the commitment or the termination of the commitment, which would have continued in effect until December 31, 2008 if not earlier
terminated. The proposed acquisition of Aztar Indiana was originally to be consummated utilizing a new term loan facility together with the $10 million escrowed deposit to fund the $190 million cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing
and other fees and expenses related to the acquisition.

On May 5, 2008, Tropicana Entertainment, LLC and certain of its affiliated
entities, including Aztar Indiana and the Seller, filed for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the Seller became entitled, at its option, to assume or reject prepetition executory contracts such as
the Evansville Agreement, subject to approval of the bankruptcy court. On September 22, 2008, the bankruptcy court approved bidding procedures to allow Tropicana to seek higher and better bids to purchase Aztar Indiana. As a result of the
process, no higher or better bids were received. Accordingly, a sale hearing was scheduled before the bankruptcy court where Tropicana was to seek the entry of an order approving and authorizing the sale of Aztar Indiana to us pursuant to the
Evansville Agreement.

On November 20, 2008, in light of uncertainty regarding whether the acquisition of Casino Aztar would close,
Resorts and the Seller agreed to terminate the Evansville Agreement with the following terms of settlement: (i) payment of $5 million of the escrowed deposit to the Seller with the balance, including any accrued interest less escrow costs,
being distributed to Resorts, (ii) the right of Resorts to a $5 million credit against any consideration otherwise owed by Resorts in the event of any future agreement of Resorts to acquire Aztar Indiana or an interest therein, and
(iii) mutual releases of the parties from any further obligation under the Evansville Agreement. On November 26, 2008 the bankruptcy court approved the terms of settlement and we gave notice of our termination of the commitment for the
financing related to the proposed acquisition of Aztar Indiana.



9% Senior
Notes due 2014

On April 20, 2004, Resorts and Eldorado Capital issued $64.7 million principal amount of the 9% Notes which are
unsecured senior obligations due April 15, 2014. Interest on the 9% Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2004. Other than as permitted to comply with an order or other requirements
of a gaming regulatory authority, we will not have a right to redeem the 9% Notes prior to April 15, 2009, except that, prior to April 15, 2009, we may redeem the 9% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus
a make whole premium and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined), if any, to the redemption date. Beginning on April 15, 2009, we may redeem the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 days notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined), if any, to the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 15
of the years indicated:



|                    |  |           
|------------------- |  | ----------
|Year                |  | Percentage
|2009                |  | 104.50    
|2010                |  | 103.00

|2012 and thereafter |  | 100.00

Upon a change of control event, each holder of the 9% Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion
of its 9% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 9% Notes, plus accrued interest. The indenture relating to the 9% Notes contains covenants applicable to Resorts and its restricted subsidiaries that, among other
things, limit our ability and, in certain instances, the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, to incur indebtedness, make distributions to the holders of our equity, purchase our equity securities, make payments on our subordinated indebtedness
other than in accordance with the original terms thereof, incur liens, and merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. As of
December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

On January 10, 2006, Resorts purchased $225,000 of the 9%
Notes. The 9% Notes were purchased at par.

By a Consent and Waiver of Noteholders, dated July 15, 2005 (the Original
Noteholders Consent), the holders of a majority of the 9% Notes consented to certain amendments to the Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2004 by and among Resorts, Capital and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the
Eldorado Indenture), which are set forth in a Supplemental Indenture dated August 11, 2005 (the Original Supplemental Indenture). The Original Noteholders Consent also includes a waiver of any default that may have
occurred prior to the execution of the Original Supplemental Indenture that would not have occurred had the amendments to the Eldorado Indenture consented to in the Noteholders Consent then been effective. By a second Consent and Waiver of
Noteholders, dated September 29, 2006 (the Second Noteholders Consent), the holders of a majority of the 9% Notes consented to an additional amendment to the Eldorado Indenture, which is set forth in a Supplemental Indenture
dated November 21, 2006 (the Second Supplemental Indenture). The Second Noteholders Consent also includes a waiver of any default that may have occurred prior to the execution of the Second Supplemental Indenture that would
not have occurred had the amendment to the Eldorado Indenture consented to in the Second Noteholders Consent then been effective. The Supplemental Indentures permit Resorts investment in the Louisiana Partnership through its ownership of
ES#1 and ES#2 and the aforementioned investment in SGH, Resorts execution and performance of the Management Agreement and the License Agreement, the designation of ES#1, ES#2, the Louisiana Partnership and its subsidiaries, including
Shreveport Capital Corporation, as Unrestricted Subsidiaries for purposes of the Eldorado Indenture, and Resorts pledge of its ownership interests in ES#1 and ES#2 to secure the repayment of the New Shreveport Notes. By a third
Consent and Waiver of Noteholders, dated August 28, 2007 (the Third Noteholders Consent), the holders of a majority of the 9% Notes consented to an additional amendment to the Eldorado Indenture, which is set forth in a
Supplemental Indenture dated November 20, 2007, which excluded from the operations of the affiliate transactions covenant of the Eldorado Indenture, the transactions referred to in the second paragraph under the Newport Global
Transaction), below.

10% First Mortgage Notes due 2012

Pursuant to a Joint Plan of Debtors and Bondholders Committee (the Plan) confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Louisiana, Shreveport, on July 21, 2005, the Louisiana Partnership and Shreveport
Capital (together, the Shreveport Issuers) co-issued $140 million of New Shreveport Notes, which provide for interest at the rate of 10% per annum and become due and payable in 2012, and the Shreveport Issuers $150 million
principle amount 13% first mortgage notes with contingent interest due 2006 and $39 million principle amount 13% senior secured notes with contingent interest due 2006 were cancelled. Interest on the New Shreveport Notes is payable semiannually each
February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2006. Such interest is payable in cash or, at the Louisiana Partnerships option, through the issuance of additional New Shreveport Notes for all or a portion of the amount of
interest then due. However, this option to issue additional New Shreveport Notes in lieu of cash payments for interest may only be made for four semiannual interest payments (which need not be consecutive) and, with limited exceptions, may not be
made once a Preferred Capital Contribution Amount, as defined below, has been redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Shreveport Issuers. On February 1 and August 1, 2006, respectively, the Shreveport Issuers issued $8.2 million
and $7.4 million of additional New Shreveport Notes due 2012 in lieu of making the cash interest payments. The semiannual interest payments due and payable in 2007 and 2008, including the preferred equity accrued interest, were paid in cash.

The New Shreveport Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2009. On or after August 1, 2009, the Louisiana Partnership may
redeem the New Shreveport Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus any accrued and unpaid interest:



|                         |  |            |  
|------------------------ |  | ---------- | -
|Year beginning August 1, |  | Percentage |  
|2009                     |  | 105.0      | %
|2010                     |  | 102.5      | %
|2011 and thereafter      |  | 100.0      | %

The Louisiana Partnership may, at its option, also redeem from time to time not more than 35% of
the original aggregate principal amount of the New Shreveport Notes prior to August 1, 2009 at a price of 110.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest with the proceeds of a capital contribution to the Louisiana Partnership
in the amount of at least $20 million from ES#1 or ES#2.

---

The Louisiana Partnership will be required to make an offer to repurchase the New Shreveport Notes
outstanding at 101% of the principal amount upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the indenture governing the New Shreveport Notes (see below). Redemption offers at 100% of the principal amount are required to be made with the
proceeds of Asset Sales by the Louisiana Partnership in excess of $5 million or with Excess Loss Proceeds following an Event of Loss in excess of $5 million, as those terms are defined in the indenture.

The New Shreveport Notes were issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2005, by and among the Shreveport Issuers and
U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the New Indenture). The New Indenture includes covenants that, among other things, impose restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on the Louisiana Partnerships ability and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Indenture) to declare or pay distributions on account of their equity interests, purchase or otherwise acquire their equity interests, make certain payments on or with respect to pari passu
or subordinated indebtedness, make investments, sell their assets, incur liens, engage in transactions with their affiliates, incur indebtedness and issue preferred equity. The New Shreveport Notes are secured by a first priority security interest
in substantially all of the Louisiana Partnerships current and future assets. The liens of the holders of the previously outstanding First Mortgage Notes and Senior Secured Notes under the related indentures and collateral documents were
amended and restated and continue as first priority liens securing the New Shreveport Notes. In addition, ES#1 and ES#2 have pledged their interests in the Louisiana Partnership, and Resorts has pledged its interests in ES#1 and ES#2, for the
benefit of the holders of the New Shreveport Notes.

Preferred Return on Preferred Capital Contribution Amount

On July 21, 2005, SGH acquired a 25% non-voting partnership equity interest and a $20 million preferred equity interest in the Louisiana Partnership
pursuant to the Plan. On July 22, 2005, ES#1 converted 55,006 shares of the common stock of SGH into (i) a 1.4% non-voting partnership interest in the Louisiana Partnership (reducing SGHs interest to 23.6%) and (ii) the right to
distributions by the Louisiana Partnership in respect of $1.12 million of the preferred equity interests of SGH (reducing the amount retained by SGH to $18.88 million).

The Louisiana Partnerships Fifth Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2005 (the Joint Venture Agreement), provides for a Preferred Return (as defined)
on the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount (as defined) to SGH, and each transferee of any of SGHs interest in the Louisiana Partnership that becomes a partner in the Louisiana Partnership in accordance with the Joint Venture
Agreement (each an SGH Transferee). As defined in the Joint Venture Agreement, Preferred Capital Contribution Amount means $20 million, less the cumulative amounts distributed from time to time in payment of the Preferred
Capital Contribution Amount. As defined in the Joint Venture Agreement, Preferred Return means an amount calculated in the same manner as interest on a loan accruing daily from June 30, 2005, at an annual rate of 13% (based upon a
365- or 366- day year, as applicable), compounded quarterly on the last day of each fiscal quarter of each applicable year, taking into account distributions of Preferred Return made pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement as if they were payments
of interest and distributions in payment of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount made pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement as if they were payments of principal. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, accrued interest with respect to the
Preferred Capital Contribution Amount was $433,000 for both periods, of which $24,000 for both periods, was payable to ES#1. During August 2007, the Louisiana Partnership paid all of the Preferred Return incurred from the Effective Date through
July 31, 2007, which amounted to $6.1 million, including $321,000 paid to ES#1.

Prior to July 22, 2013, the Joint Venture
Agreement permits, but does not require, the Louisiana Partnerships managing partner, ES#1, to make annual distributions in payment of the Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount from our Distributable Cash
Flow (as defined) remaining after all distributions required to be made with respect to the current and all prior fiscal years, including any required tax distributions. On July 22, 2013, the Louisiana Partnership will be required by the
Joint



55



---

Venture Agreement to distribute to SGH and any SGH Transferees (collectively, the Preferred Return Partners) amounts sufficient to (i) pay
all accrued Preferred Return not previously paid and (ii) pay the remaining Preferred Capital Contribution Amount. Except as otherwise provided in the Joint Venture Agreement, no distributions other than payments of the Preferred Return and
payments of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount will be made to the Louisiana Partnerships partners on account of their interests in the Louisiana Partnership unless sufficient distributions have been made to the Preferred Return
Partners such that the Preferred Return Partners have received all accrued Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount has been reduced to zero. Failure to pay the Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount in
full on or before July 22, 2013 will give rise to the right to terminate the Louisiana Partnerships management agreement.

On
March 20, 2008, the Louisiana Partnership purchased all of SGHs 23.6% interest in the Louisiana Partnership at a purchase price of $9,263,426. In accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, SGH retained all of its rights relating to the
Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and Preferred Return (as those terms are defined in the Joint Venture Agreement).

Eldorado-Shreveport Management Agreement

On July 22, 2005, Resorts and the Louisiana Partnership entered into a
management agreement (the Management Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts, as the Louisiana Partnerships exclusive agent, manages Eldorado-Shreveport. For its services, Resorts is entitled to receive a base management fee of $2.5
million annually, payable in quarterly installments of $625,000 each on October 22, January 22, April 22 and July 22 of each year during the term of the Management Agreement. Payment of the base management fee has
priority over the payment of any interest due on the New Shreveport Notes. Resorts is also entitled to an incentive fee equal to the sum of (i) 15% of the amount, if any, by which EBITDA (as defined in the Management Agreement) for
any calendar year during the term of the Management Agreement exceeds $20 million and (ii) an additional 5% of the amount, if any, by which EBITDA (as defined in the Management Agreement) for any such calendar year exceeds $25
million. By its terms, the Management Agreement will continue in effect through the date the Louisiana Partnership no longer holds a riverboat gaming license for Eldorado-Shreveport, unless the agreement is earlier terminated by either party in
accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding Resorts right to terminate the Management Agreement at any time when any of the base management fee or incentive fee due and payable to it remains unpaid, such termination will not be effective
without the consent of the Louisiana Partnership until a replacement manager has been selected by the Louisiana Partnership and approved by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board so long as (a) the Louisiana Partnership has reimbursed Resorts for
all reasonably incurred and documented out-of-pocket expenses associated with the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement within 30 days following Resorts submission to the Louisiana Partnership of the applicable request
for reimbursement pursuant to the terms of the agreement and (b) during the period beginning on the 180th day following the date of Resorts written notice of termination, for each month that Resorts continues to serve as the manager
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Louisiana Partnership has paid Resorts a monthly fee of $100,000, which is due and payable no later than 15 days following the end the month.

Newport Global Transaction

Resorts entered into an
Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement), with NGA AcquisitionCo LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (NGA), and Donald L. Carano, who is the presiding member
of Resorts Board of Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Resorts (Carano), pursuant to which NGA agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, to acquire a 17.0359% equity interest in the Resorts
(the 17.0359% Interest), including a new 14.47% equity interest to be acquired directly from Resorts (the 14.47% Interest) and an outstanding 3% membership interest (that, as a result of the issuance of the 14.47% Interest,
reduced to a 2.5659% interest) to be acquired from Carano. Upon completion of the NGA transaction, which occurred on December 14, 2007, Carano or members of his family continued to own 51% of Resorts and Carano continued in his roles in the
management of Resorts.

In consideration for the 14.47% Interest, NGA transferred to Resorts, free and clear of any liens, ownership of
$31,133,250 original principal amount of New Shreveport Notes together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date. At closing, Resorts paid NGA $1,142,974 in cash representing interest on the New Shreveport Notes
accrued and unpaid through the date of closing.

At closing, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, NGA and the then current members of Resorts
entered into an amendment and restatement of Resorts operating agreement. Under the terms of this amended and restated operating agreement (the New Operating Agreement), Resorts board of managers is currently composed of four
managers, including NGA, Donald L. Carano, Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (REI), and Hotel-Casino Management, Inc. (HCM). REI is entitled to designate an additional manager of Resorts board to replace Leslie Stone Heisz
who resigned in March 2008 but, as of the date hereof, has not done so. Under the terms of the New Operating Agreement, NGA designated Thomas R. Reeg, NGAs operating manager, as its initial representative for all determinations to be made by
the Resorts board and REI and HCM designated Gary L. Carano and Raymond J. Poncia, Jr., respectively, to continue as their representatives on the Resorts board. Under the terms of the New Operating Agreement, so long as they remain managers of
Resorts, NGA, REI and HCM may change their respective representatives from time to time by notice to Resorts.

Under the terms of the New
Operating Agreement, at any time after the occurrence of a Material Event (as defined) or at any time after June 14, 2015 (the Trigger Date) NGA or its permitted assignee(s) (the Interest Holder) will have
the right to sell (Put) all but not less than all the 14.47% Interest to Resorts and Resorts will have the right to purchase (Call) all but not less than all of the 17.0359% Interest, at a price equal to the fair market value
of the interest being acquired without discounts for minority ownership and lack of marketability, as determined by mutual agreement of the Interest Holder and Resorts or, in the event that after 30 days the Interest Holder and Resorts have not
mutually agreed on a purchase price, then at the purchase price determined by the average of two appraisals by nationally recognized appraisers of private companies, provided the two appraisals are within a 5% range of value based upon the lowest of
the two appraisals. If the two appraisals are not within the 5% range, the purchase price will be determined by the average of a third mutually acceptable, independent, nationally recognized appraiser of private companies and the next nearest of the
first two appraisals unless the third appraisal is at the mid-point of the first two appraisals, in which event the third appraisal will be used to established the fair market value. So long as a Material Event has not occurred, the Interest Holder
will have the right to unilaterally extend the Trigger Date for up to two one-year extension periods. Upon exercise of either the Call or the Put, the New Operating Agreement provided that the transaction close within one year of the exercise of the
right unless delayed for necessary approvals from applicable gaming authorities.

As defined in the New Operating Agreement, a
Material Event for the purpose of allowing Resorts to exercise the right to Call the 17.0359% Interest means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material license or finding of unsuitability issued by one or more of the
applicable gaming authorities with respect to Thomas R. Reeg, NGA or any transferee of NGA or any affiliate of NGA. In the event a Material Event occurs that permits Resorts to exercise its Call right prior to the Trigger Date, the Interest Holder
will be obligated to provide carry back financing to Resorts on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to it. If a Call is required or ordered by any applicable gaming authority, the Call will be on the terms provided for in the New Operating
Agreement, unless other terms are required by any of the applicable gaming authorities, in which event the Call will be on those terms.

As
defined in the New Operating Agreement, a Material Event for the purpose of allowing the Interest Holder to exercise the right to Put the 14.47% Interest to Resorts means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material
license or finding of unsuitability by any applicable gaming authority with respect to Resorts, any affiliate of Resorts (other than NGA or its affiliates), including, but not limited to, the Eldorado Hotel and Casino, the Eldorado Resort Casino
Shreveport and the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.

At the time of closing under the Purchase Agreement, Resorts, NGA and Carano entered into
a separate agreement pursuant to which Resorts may require Carano to purchase from it, and Carano may require Resorts to sell to him, on the same terms such interest is acquired by Resorts from NGA upon Resorts exercise of its Call right under
the New Operating Agreement, the portion of the 17.0359% Interest acquired by NGA from Carano.

Resorts is subject to certain covenants
under its credit facility and the indenture relating to the 9% Notes that impose limitations on Resorts ability to reacquire its equity interests. So long as these covenants are in effect, they will be applicable to any purchase by Resorts of
the 14.47% Interest or the 17.0359% Interest and, accordingly, will prohibit such a purchase unless the transaction, at the time it occurs, complies with the respective provisions of each covenant or any non-compliance is waived by the lenders under
the credit facility and/or the holders of the 9% Notes, as applicable.

In the event of an initial public offering of Resorts equity
securities, the Put and Call provisions described above will terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event of a public offering of equity securities by Resorts in which any member of Resorts is allowed to participate, the Interest
Holder will have rights under the New Operating Agreement equivalent to those of the other members of Resorts to sell the equity securities of Resorts held by the Interest Holder on a pro rata basis with the other members. At closing under the
Purchase Agreement, NGA and Resorts entered into a registration rights agreement that also granted to NGA and its permitted assigns certain registration rights relating to their equity interest in Resorts following any initial public offering of the
equity securities of Resorts.

Commitments and Contingencies

City of Shreveport Ground Lease and Admission Fees

The Louisiana Partnership entered into a ground lease with the City of
Shreveport for the land on which Eldorado-Shreveport was built. The lease has an initial term ending December 20, 2010 with subsequent renewals for up to an additional 40 years. Base rental payments under the lease began when construction
commenced and were $10,000 per month during the construction period. The current base rental amount is $450,000 per year and continues at that amount for the remainder of the initial ten-year lease term. During the first five-year renewal term, the
base annual rental will be $402,500. The annual base rental payment will increase by 15% during each of the second, third, fourth and fifth five-year renewal terms with no further increases. The base rental portion of the ground lease is being
amortized on a straight-line basis. In addition to the base rent, the Louisiana Partnership pays a monthly percentage rent equal to the greater of (1) $500,000 per year or (2) the sum of 1% of the Louisiana Partnerships
adjusted gross revenues and the amount by which 50% of the net income from Eldorado-Shreveports parking facilities exceeds a specified parking income credit. Ground lease rentals amounted to approximately $2.1 million during 2008,
including percentage rentals amounting to $1.5 million.

In addition, the ground lease agreement calls for payments in lieu of admission
fees to the City of Shreveport and payments to the Bossier Parish School Board amounting to 3.225% and .5375% of Net Gaming Proceeds (as defined in the agreement), respectively. In May 2005, HCS and the Bossier Parish Police Jury concluded a
settlement agreement, which was subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Louisiana Partnership began paying a percentage of its Net Gaming Proceeds, as defined, in the amount of .3% during 2006,
which increased to .4% in 2007 and to .5% effective January 1, 2008. Such payments to the Bossier Parish Police Jury are in addition to the payments under the ground lease and are in lieu of both admission fees and any sales or use tax for
complimentary goods or services. Such payments in lieu of admission fees and school taxes amounted to $6.7 and $6.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

|(1) | Interest payments assume that the Louisiana Partnership will not utilize the provision under the indenture relating to the New Shreveport Notes that allows the Louisiana Partnership
to issue additional New Shreveport Notes in lieu of making interest payments. The Louisiana Partnership has the option of doing this two more times.

The
repayment of Resorts long-term debt, which consists of indebtedness under its credit facility, the Aircraft Note and the indebtedness evidenced by the 9% Notes, is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default under the
credit facility, the Aircraft Note or the indenture relating to the 9% Notes, respectively. The repayment of the long-term debt evidenced by the New Shreveport Notes is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default under the
indenture relating to the New Shreveport Notes.

Interest on the New Shreveport Notes is payable semiannually in cash or, at our option, on
up to two additional occasions through the issuance of additional New Shreveport Notes for all or a portion of the amount of interest then due. On February 1 and August 1, 2006, respectively, the Louisiana Partnership issued $8.2 million
and $7.4 million of additional New Shreveport Notes due 2012 in lieu of making the cash interest payments.

We routinely enter into
operational contracts in the ordinary course of our business, including construction contracts for minor projects that are not material to our business or financial condition as a whole. Our commitments relating to these contracts are

recognized as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets when services are provided with respect to such contracts. Resorts expect to spend approximately
$1.0 million and the Louisiana Partnership expects to spend an additional $2 million on new slot machines in 2009.

Effective June 1,
2006, the Louisiana Partnership terminated a lease agreement with respect to approximately 45,000 square feet of retail space located across the street from the casino/hotel complex thereby becoming the direct lessor for the retail tenants. The
termination of the lease resulted from the default on payments from the lessee. Rental revenue for this space during 2008 amounted to $0.2 million. There are currently three tenants renting approximately 10,740 square feet of space under rental
agreements expiring at various dates between 2009 and 2011, some of which have optional renewal periods. Rental payments are comprised of fixed monthly amounts, percentage rentals and common area maintenance payments.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
applicable rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Companys
internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance that information contained in the Companys consolidated financial statements is reliable, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact, and fairly presents in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this annual report.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or
overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. In addition, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time due to changes in
conditions.

Our management evaluated the internal control over financial reporting using the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation as of December 31, 2008, management has concluded that the Companys internal
control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the
Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to the attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Companys Board of Managers, which does not have a
separate audit committee, has determined that Thomas R. Reeg, who is a member of the Board of Managers and the Companys Operating Manager, is an audit committee financial expert in that he has the following attributes:



| |  |  | an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally
comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Companys financial statements or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an understanding of internal control over financial reporting; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an understanding of audit committee functions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

Reference is made to the description of Mr. Reegs business experience which appears above. The Board of Managers has also determined that no member of the Board of Managers, including Mr. Reeg, is independent as that term
is defined under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). None of the Companys securities are listed on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or any national securities association, nor is there any
current intention to so list any securities of the Company in the future.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our managers, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of our equity securities (collectively, the reporting persons) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based on
written representations received from our reporting persons, we believe that no filings were required to be made by those reporting persons for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.

Code of Ethics

The
Companys Board of Managers has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics is a written
standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote



| |  |  | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the Companys reports and other documents that it files with, or submits to, the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any applicable gaming regulatory authority and in other public communications made by the Company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the code in the manner provided in the code; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | accountability for adherence to the code.

A copy of the code of ethics is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 14.1 to this report.

|-------- | -----------------------

The Companys
managers, including its Operating Manager, are not entitled to compensation from the Company for any services rendered to or on behalf of the Company, or otherwise, in their capacities as managers of the Company and, accordingly, no compensation for

|ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
|-------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Director Independence

The Companys Board of Managers has determined that none of the Companys managers is
independent as that term is defined under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). None of the Companys securities are listed on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or any national
securities association, nor is there any current intention to so list any securities of the Company in the future.

The Board of Managers
of Resorts has determined that no member of Resorts Board of Managers is independent as that term is defined under current rules of the NYSE. None of Resorts securities are listed on the NYSE or any other national securities
exchange or any national securities association, nor is there any current intention to so list any securities of Resorts in the future.

Companys
Parent

The Companys only parent is VoteCo, which holds 100% of the voting securities of the Company. The equity owners of VoteCo
are Thomas R. Reeg, Timothy T. Janszen and Ryan Langdon, each of whom owns a 30% interest, and Roger A. May, who owns a 10% interest.

Related
Transactions

Until July 1, 1996, Resorts had historically paid a management fee to each of Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and
Hotel Casino Management, Inc. A portion of these fees represented compensation for services provided to Resorts by certain members of the Carano family. Effective July 1, 1996, Resorts entered into a new management agreement (the Eldorado
Management Agreement) with Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management, Inc. which provides that Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management, Inc. (collectively, the Managers) will, among other things,
(a) develop strategic plans for Resorts business, including preparing annual budgets and capital expenditure plans, (b) provide advice and oversight with respect to financial matters of Resorts, (c) establish and oversee the
operation of financial accounting systems and controls and regularly review Resorts financial reports, (d) provide planning, design and architectural services to Resorts and (e) furnish advice and recommendations with respect to
certain other aspects of Resorts operations. In consideration for such services, Resorts pays to the Managers a management fee not to exceed 1.5% of Resorts annual net revenues. There is no minimum payment required to be paid to the
Managers pursuant the Eldorado Management Agreement. The current term of the Eldorado Management Agreement continues in effect until July 1, 2011 after which it will be automatically renewed for additional three-year terms until terminated by
one of the parties. Resorts paid management fees to Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management, Inc. of $328,000 and $172,000, respectively, in 2008 and $393,600 and $206,400, respectively, in 2007. There can be no assurance that the
terms of the Eldorado Management Agreement are at least as favorable to Resorts as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Recreational Enterprises, Inc. is beneficially owned by members of the Carano family and Hotel Casino Management,
Inc. is beneficially owned by members of the Poncia family. Donald M. Carano and Raymond J. Poncia, Jr. are members of Resorts board of managers.

Resorts owns the parcel on which Eldorado-Reno is located, except for approximately 30,000 square feet which is leased from C, S and Y Associates, a general partnership of which Donald Carano is a general partner (the
C, S and Y Lease). The C, S and Y Lease expires on June 30, 2027. Annual rent is payable in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $400,000 or (ii) an amount based on a decreasing percentage of Eldorado-Renos gross
gaming revenues for the year ranging from 3% of the first $6.5 million of gross gaming revenues to 0.1% of gross gaming revenues in excess of $75 million. In 2008 and 2007, the rent paid pursuant to the C, S and Y Lease, totaled approximately
$624,000 and $633,000, respectively. In the opinion of Resorts management, the terms of the C, S and Y Lease are at least as favorable to Resorts as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Resorts currently retains the firm of McDonald Carano Wilson LLP (McDonald Carano) in connection with a variety of legal matters. Donald
Carano was an attorney with McDonald Carano from 1961 until 1980. Mr. Carano has maintained an of counsel relationship with McDonald Carano, but is not involved in the active practice of law or in the representation of Resorts or
any of its affiliates as an attorney. Mr. Carano receives no compensation from McDonald Carano. In the opinion of Resorts management, the fees paid to McDonald Carano are at least as favorable to Resorts as could be obtained from any
other law firm for comparable services.

Resorts owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack Crossings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, which owns
and operates Tamarack Junction (Tamarack), a small casino in south Reno, Nevada. Resorts has a nontransferable option to purchase from Donald Carano, at a purchase price equal to his cost plus any undistributed income attributable
thereto (which amounted to approximately $2.5 million at December 31, 2008), an additional 10.0% interest in Tamarack Crossings, LLC, which is exercisable until June 30, 2010. Donald Carano currently owns a 26.25% interest in Tamarack
Crossings, LLC. Four members of Tamarck Crossings, LLC, including Resorts and three unaffiliated third parties, manage the business and affairs of the Tamarack. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Resorts financial investment in Tamarack
Crossings, LLC was $5.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Resorts capital contribution to Tamarack Crossings, LLC represents its proportionate share of the total capital contributions of the members. Additional capital contributions of
the members, including Resorts, may be required for certain purposes, including the payment of operating costs and capital expenditures or the repayment of loans, to the extent such costs are not funded by prior capital contributions and earnings.

From time to time Resorts leases aircraft owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc., for use in operating its business. In 2008 and 2007,
the lease payments made by Resorts for use of the aircraft totaled approximately $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In the opinion of Resorts management, the lease terms were at least as favorable to Resorts as could have been
obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

From time to time Resorts leases a yacht owned by Sierra Adventure Equipment, a limited
liability company beneficially owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc., for use in operating its business. In 2008 and 2007, the lease payments made by Resorts for use of the yacht totaled approximately $81,500. In the opinion of Resorts
management, the lease terms were at least as favorable to Resorts as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

Resorts
occasionally purchases wine and firewood directly from the Ferrari Carano Winery, which is owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Donald Carano. The firewood is used in Eldorado-Renos various wood burning ovens while wine purchases are
sent directly to customers in appreciation of their patronage. In 2008 and 2007, Resorts spent approximately $63,500 and $106,000, respectively, for these products. In the opinion of Resorts management, the purchases were on terms as least as
favorable to Resorts as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

In 2007, the Silver Legacy made payments pursuant to
its joint venture agreement, representing tax distributions, to Resorts in the amount of approximately $2.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Resorts made cash distributions of $14.8 million to its members, utilizing all of the $2.3
million it had received from the Silver Legacy. The distributions by Resorts in 2007 included a $10 million special distribution to the members of Resorts prior to the Companys acquisition of its interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007. The
balance of Resorts 2007 distributions was for income taxes. In January 2008, Resorts approved and made additional tax distributions relating to 2007 to all of its members, including the Company, that totaled $1.2 million, including $40,000
that was distributed to the Company.

The information included in Item 1 of this report under the subcaption The Resorts
Transaction is incorporated herein by this reference.

In April 2008, the Silver Legacy and Eldorado began combining certain
back-of-the-house and administrative departmental operations, including purchasing, advertising, information systems, surveillance and engineering of the Eldorado and Silver Legacy in an effort to achieve payroll cost savings synergies at both
properties. Payroll costs associated with the combined operations are shared equally and are billed at cost plus an estimated allocation for related benefits and taxes. During 2008, the Silver Legacy reimbursed Eldorado $129,200 for Silver
Legacys allocable portion of the shared administrative services costs associated with the operations performed at the Eldorado and the Eldorado reimbursed the Silver Legacy $30,100 for Eldorados allocable portion of the shared
administrative services costs associated with the operations performed at Silver Legacy.

On March 20, 2008, the Louisiana Partnership,
pursuant to, its call right under its partnership agreement to require a third partner of the partnership not affiliated with Resorts to sell to the Louisiana Partnership all of its 23.6% interest in the Louisiana Partnership, redeemed the interest
for which it paid $9.3 million.

---

As a result of the Louisiana Partnerships acquisition of this interest, all of the interests in the Louisiana Partnership are owned by Resorts
wholly owned subsidiaries, ES#1 (98.7%) and ES#2 (1.3%), but, in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the selling partner retained all of its rights relating to its Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and
Preferred Return (as these terms are defined in the partnership agreement).

Newport Financing Commitment

On May 12, 2009, Resorts and Newport, an affiliate of the Company, executed an agreement (the
Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts may, at any time it believes that it may in the reasonably foreseeable future be in default of any of the provisions of Sections 6.13, 6.14, 6.15 or 6.16 of its credit facility, make a written request
to Newport for a loan. However, a loan request may not be made after the earlier of the first anniversary of the Agreement, or the maturity date of Resorts credit facility (including, for this purpose, any amendments, replacements or
extensions thereof). Newport will be obligated, within ten days after a written request therefor, to make a loan to Resorts in the amount requested, subject to the limitation in the Agreement on the amount that Resorts is permitted to borrow. Under
the terms of the Agreement, the amount that may be borrowed under the Agreement may not exceed the lesser of (i) the maximum amount which may at the time be borrowed by Resorts without causing it to be in default of the limitations on
indebtedness contained in Section 4.09 of the indenture (the Indenture) relating to the 9% senior notes due 2014 co-issued by Resorts and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eldorado Capital Corp. (the 9% Notes), or
(ii) such amount which is equal to the greater of (A) the excess of (1) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans made to Resorts under (I) Resorts credit facility and (II) the Loan and Aircraft Security
Agreement (the Aircraft Loan Agreement) dated as of December 30, 2005 between Resorts and Banc of America Leasing and Capital, LLC (including for this purpose any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof) at the time of the
written request, over (2) $5,000,000, or (B) at Newports option, the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding under Resorts credit facility. Any loan under the Agreement will bear interest at a rate
mutually determined by Resorts and Newport, and principal and interest will be payable on the 45thday of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the
second fiscal quarter beginning after a loan is made) in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow (as defined), if any, of Resorts for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the payment date, but, in any event, the entire unpaid
principal balance of any loan made under the Agreement and all interest accrued thereon will be payable in full no later than the first anniversary of the date the loan is made. In the event Newport makes a loan in an amount equal to the entire
balance of principal and accrued interest then outstanding under Resorts credit facility, or the loans under the credit facility or any successor loans are paid in full directly or indirectly without using the proceeds of any loan(s) or
other financing other than any loan made by Newport, and, in either case, Resorts credit facility is terminated, Resorts will (subject to any required approvals of gaming regulators) be obligated to grant a first lien to Newport on the
collateral securing Resorts credit facility to secure any loan made by Newport under the Agreement. However, if such a lien cannot otherwise be granted without causing Resorts to violate the terms of the Indenture, the lien may equally and
ratably secure the 9% Notes and the loan made by Newport under the Agreement and the Newport loan will be pari passu in right of payment with the 9% Notes.

Subject to the prior receipt by Resorts of all applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of Resorts Board of Managers, Resorts will be obligated, if any loan is made under the Agreement, to issue to
Newport such number of membership interests in Resorts as is mutually agreed to by Resorts and Newport, it being the intention of the parties to the Agreement that any issuance of membership interests in Resorts be structured in such a manner as to
not result in a Change of Control, as that term is defined in the Indenture.

It is anticipated that in the next few weeks
Resorts will (subject to the consent of the lender under the Aircraft Loan Agreement) reach an agreement with the Louisiana Partnership to sell to the Louisiana Partnership the aircraft which serves as collateral under the Aircraft Loan Agreement on
terms that will relieve Resorts of any further obligation for the indebtedness remaining under the Aircraft Loan Agreement. However, there is no assurance that such a transaction will be consummated. In the event that the aircraft has not been sold
by Resorts on or before July 1, 2009, Resorts will be obligated under the Agreement to pay Newport a fee of $25,000 on July 1, 2009, which will be in addition to a $25,000 commitment fee paid to Newport at the time the Agreement was
executed by the parties.

As used in the Agreement, the term Excess Cash Flow means, for any fiscal quarter, the amount
computed by Resorts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as follows:

(a) Resorts net income, before interest,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization and any extraordinary or non-recurring income for that quarter; minus

(b) capital expenditures
made by Resorts in that quarter; minus

(c) interest, principal payments, fees and related expenses paid by Resorts in respect of
indebtedness for borrowed money, capital and finance leases by Resorts, and draws upon any letters of credit issued to third parties for Resorts benefit in respect of that quarter; minus



(d) all income taxes, and distributions made to equity holders on account of,
or with respect to, such equity holders allocable share of the taxable income of Resorts, paid in cash by Resorts in that quarter.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

NGA Holdco LLC

The Woodlands, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet of NGA Holdco, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members equity, and cash flows for each of the two years ended
December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NGA Holdco, LLC
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NGA HoldCo, LLC

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements

1. Organization

NGA
HoldCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the Company), was formed on January 8, 2007 at the direction of Newport Global Opportunities Fund LP the (Newport Fund), a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of
Newport Global Advisors LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Newport). The Company was formed for the primary purpose of holding equity, either directly or indirectly through affiliates, in one or more entities related to the gaming
industry. The consolidated financial statements represent the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries; NGA Blocker, LLC (Blocker) and NGA Acquisition Co. LLC (Acquisition
Co).

On December 14, 2007, the date of the closing of its acquisition of a 17.0359% interest in Eldorado Resorts, LLC, a Nevada
Limited Liability Company (Resorts), the Company transferred in part to Resorts and in part to Donald L. Carano (Carano), respectively, free and clear of any liens, ownership of a total of $38,045,363 original principal
amount of First Mortgage Bonds due 2012, co-issued by Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint Venture (the Louisiana Partnership), and Shreveport Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership (the New
Shreveport Notes), together with 11,000 preferred shares in exchange for a 17.0359% interest in Resorts. In May 2007, the Newport Fund contributed 100% of the New Shreveport Notes held by the Newport Fund since August 2006 and 11% of the
preferred shares held since August 2006 (collectively, the Eldorado Shreveport Investments) to the Company. These Eldorado Shreveport Investments were transferred to the Company at the fair value as of the transfer date. The related
consolidated statements of operations reflect the interest and dividend income earned from the Eldorado Shreveport Investments since August 2006 and gains on these investments recognized by the Newport Fund from the date of the Letter of Intent
between Resorts and the Newport Fund in November 2006 and the date of acquisition of the interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007.

Aside from the interest and dividend income earned on the Eldorado Shreveport Investments and gain on marketable securities, the Company has had no revenue generating business since inception. Its current business plan consists primarily of
its holding of its 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts. Resorts owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel and Casino (the Eldorado-Reno) located in Reno, Nevada. Through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Resorts also owns all of the partnership
interest of the Louisiana Partnership, and operates, pursuant to a management agreement, the Eldorado Shreveport Hotel and Casino in Shreveport, Louisiana (the Eldorado-Shreveport), which is owned by the Louisiana Partnership. Eldorado
Limited Liability Company (ELLC), a Nevada limited liability company 96.1858% owned by Resorts, is a 50% joint venture partner in a general partnership that owns and operates the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (Silver Legacy), a
hotel and casino property adjacent to Eldorado-Reno. Resorts also owns a 21.25% interest in Tamarack Junction, a small casino in South Reno.

The Companys one issued and outstanding Class A Unit, representing all of its voting equity, is held by NGA VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (VoteCo). All of the Companys issued and outstanding
Class B Units, representing all of its non-voting equity, are held by NGA No VoteCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (InvestCo). VoteCo is owned by Thomas R. Reeg, Timothy T. Janszen and Ryan L. Langdon, each of whom owns a 30%
interest, and Roger A. May, who owns a 10% interest. Messrs. Reeg, Janszen, Langdon and May collectively are referred to as the VoteCo Equityholders. InvestCo is owned by Newport, a Delaware limited partnership formed primarily for the
purpose of seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income by acquiring, holding and disposing of investments made in distressed debt securities and equities. Newport holds all of InvestCos issued and outstanding voting securities.
At present, the Company has no plans to issue any additional Class A Units or Class B Units.

The VoteCo Equityholders, through
VoteCo, control all matters of the Company that are subject to the vote of members, including the appointment and removal of managers. Messrs. Reeg, Janszen, Langdon and May are the Companys managers and Mr. Reeg is also the
Companys operating manager. The Class B Units issued to InvestCo allow it and its investors to invest in the Company without having any voting power or power to control the operations or affairs of the Company, except as otherwise required by
law. If InvestCo and its investors had any of the power to control the operations or affairs of the Company afforded to the holders of the Class A Units, they and their respective constituent equityholders would generally be required, in
connection with the Companys investment in Resorts, to be licensed or found suitable under the gaming laws and regulations of the States of Nevada and Louisiana as well as various local regulations in those states.

VoteCo, InvestCo, the Company and each of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries are managed by Thomas R. Reeg, the operating manager of each
entity. NGA Blocker, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Blocker), is a holding company that has elected to be taxed as a corporation. Because Blocker is a separately taxed, non-flow through entity, Blocker will be taxed on its
share of the income relating to the Companys investment in Resorts rather than the Companys investors.

The Companys
acquisition in December 2007 of a 17.0359% interest in Resorts was pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Purchase Agreement, dated July 20, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement). The parties to the Purchase Agreement were Resorts,
AcquisitionCo, which is the subsidiary through which the Company acquired its interest in Resorts, and Carano, the presiding member of Resorts Board of Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Resorts from whom a portion of the 17.0359%
interest was acquired. The closing of this transaction occurred on December 14, 2007 (Closing) after necessary gaming licenses were obtained from Nevada and Louisiana, respectively. The Company owns indirectly through its
subsidiaries 17.0359% of Resorts, and Carano or members of his family own directly or indirectly approximately 51% of Resorts. Carano continues in the roles in the management of Resorts in which he served prior to Closing.

At closing, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired a 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts, including a new 14.47% membership interest acquired
directly from Resorts (the 14.47% Interest) and a previously outstanding 3% membership interest (that, as a result of the issuance of the 14.47% Interest, was reduced to a 2.5659% interest) acquired from Carano (the 2.5659%
Interest). Subject to the closing adjustment described below, in consideration for its equity interest, AcquisitionCo:



| |  |  | transferred to Resorts, free and clear of any liens, ownership of $31,133,250 original principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds due 2012 co-issued by Eldorado
Shreveport Joint Venture, a Louisiana general partnership that owns Eldorado-Shreveport (the Louisiana Partnership), and Shreveport Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership (Shreveport
Bonds) together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date, and

| |  |  | transferred to Carano, free and clear of any liens, $6,912,113 original principal amount of Shreveport Bonds together with the right to all interest paid with
respect thereto after the closing date and a preferred stock equity interest representing a capital contribution amount of $286,889 issued by Shreveport Gaming Holdings, Inc. (SGH), then a partner of the Louisiana Partnership that is not
affiliated with Resorts or the Company.

At closing, Resorts and Carano paid Newport in cash the respective amounts owed to AcquisitionCo for
interest on the respective amounts of Shreveport Bonds received at closing that was accrued and unpaid through the date of closing.

Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Resorts was entitled, prior to or immediately following the Companys acquisition of its interest in Resorts, to make a distribution to the members of Resorts other that AcquisitionCo of up to $10 million.
On July 25, 2007 Resorts made the $10 million distribution to its members which was funded through borrowings under Resorts credit facility as permitted by the Purchase Agreement.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of
accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Cash and Cash
Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Investment in
Resorts

The Company accounts for its 17.0359% investment in Resorts using the equity method of accounting in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) D-46 Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments. The Company considers whether the fair values of any of its equity method investments have declined below their carrying value whenever
adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considered any such decline to be other than temporary, then a write-down would be recorded to estimate fair value.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common
Stock, we review our investment in Resorts for impairment when evidence suggests the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify
the carrying amount of the investment. Under APB 18, the Company compared the estimated discounted future cash flows of operations against the carrying value of the asset and noted the carrying value exceeded the fair value. As such, the Company
recorded an impairment loss of approximately $3.6 million to write down the asset to estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2007, the Company determined that no impairment existed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of receivables, investments and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to the immediate or short term maturity of these financial instruments.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Certain franchise tax expenses were inappropriately accrued for during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The net impact of correcting this immaterial error was an increase to net income of $200,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2008, as the Company reversed the previously accrued amount of $200,000 resulting in a decrease to other expenses of $200,000. Management has concluded that the impact of the error was not material to the prior year financial
statements or to any current period interim financial statements.

Managements Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.



We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe
these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation
allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN)
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN No. 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also
provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, upon inception. There was no unrecognized tax recorded as a result of the implementation. Nevertheless, in the event the
Company were to incur interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company would recognize such interest and penalties related to such unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the NGA HoldCo accompanying
consolidated income statements. Moreover, such accrued interest and penalties would be included within the related tax liability line in the accompanying balance sheet were they to exist.

Principles of Consolidation

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Blocker and AcquisitionCo. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements  and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115.  SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants. The Companys adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all
companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, a company shall report in earnings any unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a companys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007,
provided the company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company has not elected to use the fair value option permitted under SFAS No. 159.

3. Membership Units and Related Rights

The
Companys Operating Agreement has created two classes of membership units, the Class A Units and the Class B Units. VoteCo holds one Class A Unit of the Company, representing the Companys only outstanding voting equity. InvestCo
holds 9,999 Class B Units of the Company, representing all of the Companys outstanding non-voting equity. With the exception of voting rights, the rights of a Class A Unit and a Class B Unit are identical.

Each of the Companys membership units, both Class A and Class B, represent a percentage interest in the Company equal to the quotient
determined by dividing one by the aggregate number of units, both Class A and Class B, held by all members as of the date of the determination. The economic rights, risks and rewards are all shared by the members ratably according to their
respective percentage interests.

Management

The Company is managed by a board of managers which has four members who are Thomas R. Reeg (who is also the Companys Operating Manager), Timothy T. Janszen, Ryan Langdon and Roger May. Each of the Companys managers may be
removed from the Companys board of managers at any time, with or without cause, by VoteCo as the holder of all of the Companys voting equity. A majority of the Companys managers may remove the Operating Manager from the position of
Operating Manager (but not from the position of manager). The approval of a majority of the Companys managers is required to elect a new Operating Manager, who must be selected from among the members of the Companys board of managers.

Neither the Companys board of managers nor the Operating Manager may take, or cause the Company to take, the following actions
without the approval of VoteCo as the holder of the Companys voting equity:



| |  |  | any material change in the business purpose of the Company or the nature of the business,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any action that would render it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Company,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any removal or appointment of any Company manager,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allow any voluntary withdrawal of any member from the Company,

is not made on an arms-length basis.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, in all other respects, VoteCo has no power or authority to
participate in the management of the Company or to bind or act on behalf of the Company in any way or to render it liable for any purpose. Except as otherwise expressly required by applicable law, InvestCo, as holder of Class B Units, has neither
any right to vote on any matters to be voted on by the members of the Company, nor any power or authority to participate in the management of the Company or bind or act on behalf of the Company in any way or render it liable for any purpose.

| |  |  | perform all ministerial acts and duties relating to the payment of all indebtedness, taxes, and assessments due or to become due with regard to the Companys
assets, and to give and receive notices, reports, and other communications arising out of or in connection with the ownership, indebtedness, or maintenance of the Companys assets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neither the Operating Manager nor any other manager has the authority to do any of the following acts on behalf of the Company without the approval of a
majority of the Companys managers:



| |  |  | acquire, by purchase, lease, or otherwise, any real property on behalf of the Company;

| |  |  | release, compromise, assign, or transfer any claims, rights, or benefits of the Company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | confess a judgment against the Company or submit a Company claim to arbitration;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | file any petition for bankruptcy of the Company;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | distribute any cash or property of the Company, other than as provided in the Companys operating agreement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | admit a new member to the Company; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | do any act in contravention of in the Companys operating agreement or which would make it impossible or unreasonably burdensome to carry on the business of
the Company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Operating Manager has the authority under the Companys
operating agreement to take such actions as he, in his reasonable judgment, deems necessary for the protection and preservation of Company assets if, under the circumstances, in the good faith estimation of the Operating Manager, there is
insufficient time to allow the Operating Manager to obtain the approval of the Companys board of managers to the action and any delay would materially increase the risk to preservation of the Companys assets.

Distributions

Subject to all applicable gaming
approvals, distributions by the Company will be to its members at such times and in such amounts as approved by the Operating Manager in good faith in accordance with the provisions of the Companys operating agreement and, if and when made,
will be distributed by the Company to its members in proportion to their respective percentage interests in the Company. There is no formal agreement between Newport and the Company regarding the settlement of the due to/from related parties,
however, it is expected to be settled upon sale of the Companys investment in Resorts.

Restrictions on Transfer

Unless approved in advance by the Operating Manager and by applicable gaming authorities, no member of the Company may transfer all or any portion of its
membership units. In addition, transfers or issuances of any membership units to any person who was required to be, and has not been, found suitable to be licensed or to hold such membership units by applicable gaming authorities, are prohibited and
will be null and void and of no force or effect as of the inception of the attempted transfer or issuance.

Furthermore, as of the date the
Company receives notice from any applicable gaming authority that a member of the Company or a transferee of any membership interest in the Company (1) is required to be licensed but is unsuitable to be licensed or (2) is unsuitable to
hold a membership interest in the Company, then the unsuitable member or transferee may not, for so long as the unsuitability determination remains in force and effect,



| |  |  | receive any share of any cash distribution, or any other property or payments upon the dissolution of the Company,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exercise directly or through a trustee or nominee any voting rights conferred by any membership interest in the Company,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | participate in the management of the business or affairs of the Company, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | receive any remuneration in any form from the Company for services rendered or otherwise.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Limited Liability and Indemnification

No member of
the Company has any liability for the obligations of the Company, except to the extent required by law. To the maximum extent authorized by law, the Company indemnifies any member, as well as any Company manager, employee, agent or representative of
the Company from any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by him, her or it as a result of any act or failure to act (other than as a result of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct) performed or not performed by such person as a
member, Company manager, employee, agent or representative of the Company, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred.

Under Nevada law, the Company may, in connection with any action or proceeding, indemnify any Company member, manager, employee or agent of the Company
against expenses and amounts paid in settlement thereof, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. With respect to derivative suits, indemnification may not be made to a person who has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company or for
amounts paid, unless it is determined by the court that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses.

Under
the Nevada LLC Act, the Company shall indemnify a Company member, manager, employee or agent of the Company against expenses to the extent that the person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any of the actions, suites or
proceedings described above. Also, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a current or prior Company manager, member, employee or agent of the Company for any liability asserted against such person and liability and expense
incurred by him in such capacity.

Member and Company Manager Compensation

No member or manager of the Company is entitled to receive any compensation from the Company for any services rendered to or on behalf of the Company, or
otherwise, in his, her or its capacity as a member or manager of the Company. A manager of the Company is entitled to reimbursement from the first available funds of the Company for direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the manager on
behalf of the Company that directly related to the business and affairs of the Company.

Dissolution and Termination

The Company will be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events:



| |  |  | upon the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Companys assets and receipt of all consideration therefore,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | upon a judicial determination that an event has occurred that makes it unlawful, impossible or impracticable for the Company to carry on the business, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | upon the determination of VoteCo as the holder of Class A Units that the Company be dissolved.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following such an event or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company has dissolved prior to the occurrence of such an
event, the property of the Company, or the proceeds from the sale thereof, will be applied and distributed first to the payment and discharge of all of the Companys debts and other liabilities to creditors (including members that are
creditors), second to establishing any reserves that the managers of the Company determine, in their sole and absolute discretion, are necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company, and third to the
members of the Company in proportion to their respective percentage interest in the Company.

4. Investments in Marketable Securities

As of January 1, 2007, the Eldorado Shreveport Investments consist of:



|                                                                                                                    |  |                |

The bonds and the preferred securities were acquired by Newport through a series of purchases
beginning on August 4, 2006.

While these investments were held by Newport and subsequently the Company, the management of Newport
periodically reviewed the underlying value of these investments to determine if any impairment indicators existed. Management relies on the underlying financial statements and comparable value multiples in performing their impairment review. Since
the initial acquisition of the bonds and preferred securities that comprise the Eldorado Shreveport Investments, Newport has not recorded or identified any impairment charges of declines in market value.

A rollforward of the Eldorado Shreveport Investments follows:



|                                                                           |  |   |

|                                                                           |  |   |           
|Fair value of Shreveport bonds and preferred securities at closing         |  | $ | 38,314,863
|                                                                           |  |   |           

In February 2007 and August 2007, Newport received identical interest payments of $1,902,268,
totaling $3,804,536, which is reflected in due from related party in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as well as, $1,142,974 of interest received from Resorts and $170,658 of interest received from
Donald L. Carano, both representing interest accrued through the date of the closing. Also included in due from related party is a $61,600 preferred dividend received by Newport in October 2007, representing the dividend earned on the 11,000 shares
of preferred securities previously owned by the Company. There is no formal agreement between Newport and the Company regarding the settlement of this receivable, however, it is expected to be settled upon sale of the Companys investment in
Resorts.

5. Investment in Resorts

In
December 2007, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement with Resorts and Carano, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, AcquisitionCo LLC (AcquisitionCo) transferred to Resorts and Carano, respectively, free and clear of any
liens, ownership of $31,133,250 and $6,912,113 original principal amount of Shreveport Bonds, respectively, together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date in exchange for the 14.47% Interest and the 2.5659%
Interest in Resorts. The Company, through AcquisitionCo, also transferred an equity interest of $286,889 related to SGH to Carano. The equity interest in Resorts was recorded at fair value in accordance with the guidance provided in SFAS
No. 140 Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, (SFAS No. 140). Accordingly, the assets received by AcquisitionCo from the exchange were recorded at fair
value based on the quoted market price of the investments given up by AcquisitionCo. This accounting treatment is consistent with the guidance provided in SFAS No. 140 which indicates that quoted market prices are the best evidence of fair
value. It was determined that the quoted market prices of AcquisitionCos investments were more indicative of fair value as compared to the equity value of a privately held company like Resorts. At the date of the transaction, the fair value of
the 17.0359% equity interest exceeded the related percentage of Resorts equity book value by approximately $14.8 million, which the Company has determined is an intangible asset.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation of the transaction, and attributed approximately $16.1 million of its
overall investment in Resorts to approximately $15.4 million in indefinite-lived intangibles assets and approximately $760,000 in definite-lived intangible assets. The fair value adjustments are a result of a difference between the fair value of our
investment and the amount of underlying equity in Resorts. Differences attributable to definite-lived intangible assets are amortized based on the estimated useful lives of seven years. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded
approximately $115,000 and $0, respectively, of amortization related to these intangibles.

Our 17.0359% investment in Resorts is accounted
for under the equity method. As noted above, our original investment was recorded at fair value and is adjusted by our share of earnings, losses, distributions, and fair value adjustments related to the amortization of definite-lived intangibles of
the investment and recorded in Equity loss on Resorts on our consolidated statement of operations.

A rollforward of the Companys
equity investment in Resorts is as follows:

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 18, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, we review our investment in Resorts for impairment when evidence suggests the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to
sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. Under APB 18, the Company compared the estimated discounted future cash flows of operations against the carrying value of the asset and noted the carrying value
exceeded the fair value. As such, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $3.6 million to write down the asset to estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2007, the Company determined that no impairment existed.

At closing, Resorts paid Newport $1,142,974 in cash, representing interest accrued and unpaid through the date of closing on the Shreveport Bonds
acquired by Resorts. Carano paid Newport $170,658 in cash, representing interest accrued and unpaid through October 31, 2007 on the Shreveport Bonds acquired by Carano. Upon completion of the Resorts transaction, which occurred on
December 14, 2007, Carano or members of his family continued to own 51% of Resorts and Carano continued in his roles in the management of Resorts. Also, at closing, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the then
current members of Resorts entered into an amendment and restatement of Resorts operating agreement (the New Operating Agreement). Resorts board of managers is currently composed of four managers, including the Company,
Donald L. Carano, Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (REI), and Hotel-Casino Management, Inc. (HCM). Under the terms of the New Operating Agreement, REI is entitled to designate a fifth member of Resorts board of managers
but, as of the date hereof, has not done so. Under the terms of the New Operating Agreement, the Company designated Thomas R. Reeg, the Companys operating manager, as its initial representative for all determinations to be made by the
Resorts board and REI and HCM designated Gary L. Carano and Raymond J. Poncia, Jr., respectively, to continue as their representatives on the Resorts board. Under the terms of the New Operating Agreement, so long as they remain managers of
Resorts, the Company, REI and HCM may change their respective representatives from time to time by notice to Resorts.

Under the terms of
the New Operating Agreement, at any time after the occurrence of a Material Event (as defined) or at any time after June 14, 2015 (the Trigger Date) AcquisitionCo or its permitted assignee(s) (the Interest
Holder) will have the right to sell (Put) all but not less than all the 14.47% Interest to Resorts and Resorts will have the right to purchase (Call) all but not less than all of the 14.47% Interest and the 2.5659%
Interest (collectively, the 17.0359% Interest), at a price equal to the fair market value of the interest being acquired without discounts for minority ownership and lack of marketability, as determined by mutual agreement of the
Interest Holder and Resorts or, in the event that after 30 days the Interest Holder and Resorts have not mutually agreed on a purchase price, then at the purchase price determined by the average of two appraisals by nationally recognized appraisers
of private companies, provided the two appraisals are within a 5% range of value based upon the lowest of the two appraisals. If the two appraisals are not within the 5% range, the purchase price will be determined by the average of a third mutually
acceptable, independent, nationally recognized appraiser of private companies and the next nearest of the first two appraisals unless the third appraisal is at the mid-point of the first two appraisals, in which event the third appraisal will be
used to established the fair market value. So long as a Material Event has not occurred, the Interest Holder will have the right to unilaterally extend the Trigger Date for up to two one-year extension periods. Upon exercise of either the Call or
the Put, the New Operating Agreement provides that the transaction close within one year of the exercise of the right unless delayed for necessary approvals from applicable gaming authorities.



These put and call rights have been evaluated from an accounting perspective
and Company management has determined that neither the Put or Call meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to the guidance SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS
No. 133), and therefore have no immediate accounting considerations. Accordingly, the put and call rights are not reflected on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

As defined in the New Operating Agreement, a Material Event for the purpose of allowing Resorts to exercise the right to Call the 17.0359%
Interest means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material license or finding of unsuitability issued by one or more of the applicable gaming authorities with respect to Thomas R. Reeg, AcquisitionCo or any transferee of
AcquisitionCo or any affiliate of AcquisitionCo. In the event a Material Event occurs that permits Resorts to exercise its Call right prior to the Trigger Date, the Interest Holder will be obligated to provide carry back financing to Resorts on
terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to it. If a Call is required or ordered by any applicable gaming authority, the Call will be on the terms provided for in the New Operating Agreement, unless other terms are required by any of the
applicable gaming authorities, in which event the Call will be on those terms.

As defined in the Resorts Operating Agreement, a Material Event for the purpose of allowing
the Interest Holder to exercise the right to Put the 14.43% interest to Resorts means the loss, forfeiture, surrender or termination of a material license or finding of unsuitability by any applicable gaming authority with respect to Resorts, any
affiliate of Resorts (other than AcquisitionCo or its affiliates), including, but not limited to, the Eldorado-Reno, the Eldorado-Shreveport and Silver Legacy.

In the event of an initial public offering of Resorts equity securities, the Put and Call provisions described above will terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event of a public offering of
equity securities by Resorts in which any member of Resorts is allowed to participate, the Interest Holder will have rights under the New Operating Agreement equivalent to those of the other members of Resorts to sell the equity securities of
Resorts held by the Interest Holder on a pro rata basis with the other members. At closing under the Purchase Agreement, AcquisitionCo and Resorts entered into a registration rights agreement that also granted to AcquisitionCo and its permitted
assigns certain registration rights relating to their equity interest in Resorts following any initial public offering of the equity securities of Resorts.

As a limited liability company, Resorts is not subject to Federal income tax liability. Because holders of membership interests in Resorts are required to include their respective shares of Resorts taxable
income in their individual income tax returns, Resorts has made distributions to its members to cover such tax liabilities. Distributions for 2007 were, and distributions for subsequent years will be, limited in accordance with the provisions of the
New Operating Agreement of Resorts. The New Operating Agreement provides that the Board of Managers will distribute each year to each member an amount equal to such members allocable share of taxable income multiplied by the highest marginal
combined Federal, state, and local income tax rate applicable to individuals for that year; provided that such distributions will not be made after any event that causes Resorts to thereafter be taxed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, as a corporation.

Evansville, Indiana

On March 31, 2008, Resorts and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts (Resorts Indiana), entered into a definitive agreement (the Evansville Agreement) pursuant to which
Resorts Indiana agreed to purchase from Aztar Riverboat Holding Company, LLC (the Seller) all of the membership interests in Aztar Indiana Gaming Company, LLC (Aztar Indiana), an indirect subsidiary of Tropicana Casinos and
Resorts. Aztar Indiana owns the Casino Aztar riverboat gaming and hotel property in Evansville, Indiana (the Indiana Property). The agreement provided for a purchase price, subject to certain adjustments, of $245 million, consisting of
$190 million of cash, a $30 million note to be issued by a new holding company of Resorts and up to $25 million that would be dependent on the performance of the Indiana Property during the 12 months following closing. At the time it entered into
the Evansville Agreement, Resorts placed in escrow a $10 million deposit that was to be credited against the purchase price and released and paid to the Seller upon the closing of the transaction. The purchase was subject to customary conditions
including the receipt of requisite gaming approvals and the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvements Act of 1976. Beginning August 1, 2008, Resorts began incurring a minimum of $196,000 per
month in connection with the financing commitment for the Evansville transaction, and this amount increased to a minimum of $245,000 per month after September 30, 2008 and was to continue until the earlier of the initial funding under the
commitment or the termination of the commitment, which would have continued in effect until December 31, 2008 if not earlier terminated. The proposed acquisition of Aztar Indiana was originally to be consummated utilizing a new term loan
facility together with the $10 million escrowed deposit to fund the $190 million cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing and other fees and expenses related to the acquisition.

On May 5, 2008, Tropicana Entertainment, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities, including Aztar Indiana and the Seller, filed for bankruptcy
relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the Seller became entitled, at its option, to assume or reject prepetition executory contracts such as the Evansville Agreement, subject to approval of the bankruptcy court.
On September 22, 2008, the bankruptcy court approved bidding procedures to allow Tropicana to seek higher and better bids to purchase Aztar Indiana. As a result of the process, no higher or better bids were received. Accordingly, a sale hearing
was scheduled before the bankruptcy court where Tropicana was to seek the entry of an order approving and authorizing the sale of Aztar Indiana to Resorts pursuant to the Evansville Agreement.

On November 20, 2008, in light of uncertainty regarding whether the acquisition of Casino Aztar would close, Resorts and the Seller agreed to
terminate the Evansville Agreement with the following terms of settlement: (i) payment of $5 million of the escrowed deposit to the Seller with the balance, including any accrued interest less escrow costs, being distributed to Resorts,
(ii) the right of Resorts to a $5 million credit against any consideration otherwise owed by Resorts in the event of any future agreement of Resorts to acquire Aztar Indiana or an interest therein, and (iii) mutual releases of the parties
from any further obligation under the Evansville Agreement. On November 26, 2008 the bankruptcy court approved the terms of settlement and Resorts gave notice of our termination of the commitment for the financing related to the proposed
acquisition of Aztar Indiana. As a result of the settlement, Resorts recognized $5 million of the escrow deposit as expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 along with other expenses relating to the transaction of approximately $1.8 million and $0.9
million in fees associated with the financing commitment.

6. Related Parties

InvestCo owns 99.99% of the Company which is a non-voting interest. The other .01% of the Company, which is the only voting interest of the Company, is
owned by VoteCo. InvestCo is solely owned by Newport. In May 2007, Newport contributed 100% of the New Shreveport Notes held by Newport since August 2006 and 11% of the preferred shares held since August 2006 that comprise the Eldorado Shreveport
Investments. These Eldorado Shreveport Investments were transferred at fair market value at date of transfer. The related consolidated statements of operations reflect the interest and dividend income earned from the Eldorado Shreveport Investments
since August 2006 and gains on these investments recognized by Newport from the date of the Letter of Intent between Resorts and Newport in November 2006 and the date of acquisition of the interest in Resorts on December 14, 2007. Additionally,
certain direct expenses incurred by Newport related to the Eldorado Shreveport Investments are reflected within the consolidated statements of operations. VoteCo is responsible for the operations of the Company and is solely owned by the managers of
Newport.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company was owed $5,179,772 and $5,183,574, respectively, from Newport primarily
representing $5,118,168 interest earned and received on the Eldorado Shreveport Investments and $61,600 representing the preferred dividend earned and received on 11,000 of Preferred Shreveport shares. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company owed
$1,719,870 and $1,083,927, respectively, to Newport for expenses paid on the Companys behalf. There is no formal agreement outlining the settlement of this receivable and payable between Newport and the Company. Accordingly, this receivable
and payable are reflected as non current assets and liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of December 31, 2008. The Company did not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months
of December 31, 2007. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. The Companys U.S. tax return for the year ending December 31, 2008 and 2007 will be subject to examination by the tax authorities until 2012 and 2011, respectively.

8. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and
Interests in Variable Interest Entities. This FASB FSP amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require public entities to provide additional disclosures
about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest
entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose
entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the
qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferors continuing involvement with
transferred financial assets and an enterprises involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008, and shall apply for each annual and
interim reporting period thereafter. We believe that the adoption of this FSP will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a
consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement was effective November 15, 2008.
We currently adhere to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS 162, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and requires enhanced
disclosures. FSP 142-3 must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets acquired as of and subsequent to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that
include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on
current conditions, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business
Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be
identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves
control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions
specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, a company shall report in earnings any
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a companys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as
of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (see below). The Company has not elected to
use the fair value option permitted under SFAS No. 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for one year as
it applies to certain items, including assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination, reporting units and certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with goodwill impairment tests in
accordance with SFAS No. 142 and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessments under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

9. Subsequent Events

Newport Financing Commitment

On May 12, 2009, Resorts and Newport executed an agreement (the
Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts may, at any time it believes that it may in the reasonably foreseeable future be in default of any of the provisions of Sections 6.13, 6.14, 6.15 or 6.16 of its credit facility, make a written request
to Newport for a loan. However, a loan request may not be made after the earlier of the first anniversary of the Agreement, or the maturity date of Resorts credit facility (including, for this purpose, any amendments, replacements or
extensions thereof). Newport will be obligated, within ten days after a written request therefor, to make a loan to Resorts in the amount requested, subject to the limitation in the Agreement on the amount that Resorts is permitted to borrow. Under
the terms of the Agreement, the amount that may be borrowed under the Agreement may not exceed the lesser of (i) the maximum amount which may at the time be borrowed by Resorts without causing it to be in default of the limitations on
indebtedness contained in Section 4.09 of the indenture (the Indenture) relating to the 9% senior notes due 2014 co-issued by Resorts and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eldorado Capital Corp. (the 9% Notes) or
(ii) such amount which is equal to the greater of (A) the excess of (1) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans made to Resorts under (I) Resorts credit facility and (II) the Loan and Aircraft Security
Agreement (the Aircraft Loan Agreement) dated as of December 30, 2005 between Resorts and Banc of America Leasing and Capital, LLC (including for this purpose any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof) at the time of the
written request, over (2) $5,000,000, or (B) at Newports option, the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding under Resorts credit facility. Any loan under the Agreement will bear interest at a rate
mutually determined by Resorts and Newport, and principal and interest will be payable on the 45thday of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the
second fiscal quarter beginning after a loan is made) in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow (as defined), if any, of Resorts for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the payment date, but, in any event, the entire unpaid
principal balance of any loan made under the Agreement and all interest accrued thereon will be payable in full no later than the first anniversary of the date the loan is made. In the event Newport makes a loan in an amount equal to the entire
balance of principal and accrued interest then outstanding under Resorts credit facility, or the loans under the credit facility or any successor loans are paid in full directly or indirectly without using the proceeds of any loan(s) or
other financing other than any loan made by Newport, and, in either case, Resorts credit facility is terminated, Resorts will (subject to any required approvals of gaming regulators) be obligated to grant a first lien to Newport on the
collateral securing Resorts credit facility to secure any loan made by Newport under the Agreement. However, if such a lien cannot otherwise be granted without causing Resorts to violate the terms of the Indenture, the lien may equally and
ratably secure the 9% Notes and the loan made by Newport under the Agreement and the Newport loan will be pari passu in right of payment with the 9% Notes.

Subject to the prior receipt by Resorts of all applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of Resorts Board of Managers, Resorts will be obligated, if any loan is made under the Agreement, to issue to
Newport such number of membership interests in Resorts as is mutually agreed to by Resorts and Newport, it being the intention of the parties to the Agreement that any issuance of membership interests in Resorts be structured in such a manner as to
not result in a Change of Control, as that term is defined in the Indenture.

It is anticipated that in the next few weeks
Resorts will (subject to the consent of the lender under the Aircraft Loan Agreement) reach an agreement with the Louisiana Partnership to sell to the Louisiana Partnership the aircraft which serves as collateral under the Aircraft Loan Agreement on
terms that will relieve Resorts of any further obligation for the indebtedness remaining under the Aircraft Loan Agreement. However, there is no assurance that such a transaction will be consummated. In the event that the aircraft has not been sold
by Resorts on or before July 1, 2009, Resorts will be obligated under the Agreement to pay Newport a fee of $25,000 on July 1, 2009, which will be in addition to a $25,000 commitment fee paid to Newport at the time the Agreement was
executed by the parties.

As used in the Agreement, the term Excess Cash Flow means, for any fiscal quarter, the amount
computed by Resorts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as follows:

(a) Resorts net income, before interest,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization and any extraordinary or non-recurring income for that quarter; minus

(b) capital expenditures
made by Resorts in that quarter; minus

(c) interest, principal payments, fees and related expenses paid by Resorts in respect of
indebtedness for borrowed money, capital and finance leases by Resorts, and draws upon any letters of credit issued to third parties for Resorts benefit in respect of that quarter; minus

(d) all income taxes, and distributions made to equity holders on account of, or with respect to, such equity holders allocable share of the
taxable income of Resorts, paid in cash by Resorts in that quarter.

statements of operations, members equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,
such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eldorado Resorts LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ELDORADO RESORTS LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation/Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eldorado
Resorts, LLC (Resorts), a Nevada limited liability company, Eldorado Capital Corp. (Capital), a Nevada Corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts, Eldorado Shreveport #1, LLC (ES#1) and Eldorado
Shreveport #2, LLC (ES#2), two Nevada limited liability companies that are wholly owned subsidiaries of Resorts, Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint Venture (formerly Hollywood Casino Shreveport), a Louisiana general partnership (in which
ES#1 and ES#2 are partners that own all of the partnership interest representing all of the voting interests of the partnership, the Louisiana Partnership), Shreveport Capital Corp. (Shreveport Capital), a Louisiana
corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Louisiana Partnership and Eldorado Limited Liability Company, a Nevada limited liability company that is a 96% owned subsidiary of Resorts (ELLC and, collectively with Resorts,
Capital, ES#1, ES#2, the Louisiana Partnership, and Shreveport Capital, the Company). The consolidated financial statements reflect the operating activities of the Louisiana Partnership from July 22, 2005 (date of acquisition)
through December 31, 2008. Prior to March 20, 2008, in consolidation, net income of the Louisiana Partnership was allocated 76.4% and 23.6% to Resorts and Shreveport Gaming Holdings, Inc., an unaffiliated Delaware corporation
(SGH), respectively. Net losses were allocated to the extent of their equity interests. As a result of the closing on March 20, 2008 of the Louisiana Partnerships call of the other 23.6% partnership interest held by SGH, ES#1
and ES#2, between them, now own all of the partnership interests in the Louisiana Partnership. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company shall be liquidated upon the occurrence of any event requiring dissolution of the Company. Proceeds from liquidation shall be dispersed first
to creditors, including Members and interest holders who are creditors for debts other than their respective capital contributions, and second to Members and interest holders in accordance with their capital account balances.

The Company owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel & Casino (the Eldorado), an 815-room hotel casino in downtown Reno, Nevada. ELLC, a
Nevada limited liability company owned 96.12% by Resorts, and Galleon, Inc. (a Nevada corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE (MGM) which was acquired by MGM as a result of the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary
of MGM with and into Mandalay Resort Group (Mandalay) on April 25, 2005) entered into a 50/50 joint venture (the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) which owns the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the Silver Legacy), a
1,710 room hotel casino that opened July 28, 1995 and is located contiguous to the Eldorado Hotel & Casino.

Two Nevada
limited liability companies wholly owned by Resorts, ES#1 and ES#2, acquired 75.4% and 1%, respectively, of the partnership interests of Eldorado Casino Shreveport Joint Venture (formerly Hollywood Casino Shreveport) on July 22, 2005. As a
result of the closing on March 20, 2008 of the Louisiana Partnerships call of the other 23.6% partnership interest held by SGH, ES#1 and ES#2, between them, now own all of the partnership interests in the Louisiana Partnership other than
the selling partners rights relating to its Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and its Preferred Return (as those terms are defined in the partnership agreement). The Louisiana Partnership owns and Eldorado manages a
403-room all suite art deco-style hotel and a tri-level riverboat dockside casino complex situated on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana (Eldorado Shreveport), which was formerly operated as the Hollywood Casino Shreveport and which
began operating as Eldorado Casino Shreveport on October 26, 2005. Each of ES#1, ES#2, the Louisiana Partnership and its subsidiaries, including Shreveport Capital, is an unrestricted subsidiary, as defined in the Indenture, dated
as of April 20, 2004, as amended, by and among Resorts and Capital, as issuers, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the Indenture).

Capital was incorporated with the sole purpose of serving as co-issuer of the 101/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the 101/2% Notes) in order to facilitate the offering thereof. Capital also served as a co-issuer of $64,700,000 principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2014 issued on April 20, 2004 by Resorts and
Capital (the 9% Notes). Capital does not have any operations, assets or revenues.

Evansville, Indiana Transaction

On November 26, 2008, we entered into a settlement on the termination of a potential acquisition in Evansville, Indiana. As a result of the
settlement, Resorts recognized $5.0 million of an escrow deposit as an expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 along with other expenses relating to the transaction of approximately $1.8 million and $0.9 million in fees associated with the financing
commitment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates incorporated into our consolidated financial statements
include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated cash flows in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill and intangible assets, fair
values of acquired assets and liabilities, our self-insured liability reserves, players club liabilities, contingencies and litigation, claims and assessments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

The consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 reflect certain reclassifications, which have no effect on previously reported net income, to conform to the current year presentation. Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows requires distributions received, representing returns on investments, to be classified as cash inflows from operating activities while returns of investment are
classified as cash inflows from investing activities. The Company determined that the distributions from unconsolidated affiliates (Silver Legacy and Tamarack) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were returns on investment and has
reclassified these distributions on the cash flow statement from investing activities to operating activities.

Cash and Cash
Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include investments purchased with a maturity at the day of purchase of 90 days or less.

Restricted Cash

The
Company has a certificate of deposit, which is used for security with the Nevada Department of Insurance for its self-insured workers compensation. The certificate of deposit has a maturity date of July 30, 2009.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues markers to approved casino customers following background checks and
investigations of creditworthiness. Trade receivables, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously
written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Companys receivables to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review
of customer accounts as well a historical collection experience and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance
had not already been recorded. (See Note 4).

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using a first-in, first-out basis, or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and
equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the capitalized lease, whichever is less. Costs of major improvements are capitalized, while costs of
normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Investment in Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for ELLCs 50% joint venture interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and its 21.25% interest in Tamarack, affiliates that it
does not control but over which it does exert significant influence, using the equity method of accounting. Since the Company operates in the same line of business as the Silver Legacy and Tamarack, each with casino and/or hotel operations, the
Companys equity in the income of such joint ventures is included in operating income. The Company accounted for its 18% interest in MindPlay (an entity which sold all of its assets in February 2004 and was dissolved in March 2008) under the
equity method of accounting. Since MindPlay, which produced a system that permits tracking and surveillance of pit gaming activities, operated in a dissimilar line of business, the Companys equity in income (loss) of such joint venture is
included in non-operating income. The Company considers whether the fair values of any of its equity method investments have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may
not be recoverable. Estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated future results of the investee and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rate. If the Company considered any such decline to
be other than temporary, then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by
the asset is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If it is determined that the asset is impaired based on expected undiscounted future cash flows, a loss, measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, would be recognized.

Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Louisiana Partnership assigned a value of $19,679,000 to its gaming license, which has an indefinite life and is reviewed annually for impairment, to operate in
Louisiana. The Louisiana Partnership assigned a value $1,959,000 to its customer relationships and accounted for it under SFAS No. 144 as it has a finite life. The value of the gaming license and customer relationships was assigned by
management as part of the allocation of purchase price upon the confirmation of the Joint Plan of Debtors and Bondholders Committee (the Plan). Amortization of customer relationships is computed using the straight-line method over an
estimated useful life of five years. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of the gaming license and customer relationships, management makes assumptions regarding such items as future cash flows, gaming taxes, the costs of continued
licensing and the pattern of customer visits. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Louisiana Partnership may be required to record impairment losses with respect to these assets. Such impairment loss, if any, would
be recognized as a non-cash component of operating income.

In 2008, we recorded a $0.3 million loss on sale/disposition of long-lived
assets which was due to the sale or write off of property and equipment replaced as part of the updating and remodeling of casino and restaurant space at both properties. In 2007, we experienced a $1.6 million loss on disposition of long-lived
assets from the charitable contribution of land to the City of Reno to allow for the construction of a new city-owned ballroom facility, which will be operated and managed by Silver Legacy, together with Eldorado and Circus. In 2007, loss on
sale/disposition of long-lived assets was also due to a $0.6 million loss on disposal of assets as a result of the sale of 231 slot machines at the Eldorado Shreveport.

Self Insurance

The Company is self-insured for various levels of general liability, workers
compensation, and employee medical insurance coverage. Self-insurance reserves are estimated based on the Companys claims experience and are included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Outstanding Chips and Tokens

The
Company recognizes the impact on gaming revenues on an annual basis to reflect an estimate of the change in the value of outstanding chips and tokens that are not expected to be redeemed. This estimate is determined by measuring the difference
between the total value of chips and tokens placed in service less the value of chips and tokens in the inventory of chips and tokens under our control. This measurement is performed on an annual basis utilizing methodology in which a consistent
formula is applied to estimate the percentage value of chips and tokens not in custody that are not expected to be redeemed. In addition to the formula, certain judgments are made with regard to various denominations and souvenir chips and tokens.
For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we recognized income of $45,000, $38,000 and $179,000, respectively.

Casino Revenue and Promotional Allowances

The Company recognizes as casino revenue the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Hotel, food and
beverage, and other operating revenues are recognized as services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as accrued liabilities until services are provided to the customer. Gaming revenues are recognized net
of certain cash sales incentives. The retail value of food, beverage, rooms and other services furnished to customers on a complimentary basis is included in gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The Company rewards customers,
through the use of our loyalty programs, with complimentaries based on amounts wagered or won that can be redeemed for a specified time period. The retail value of food, beverage, rooms and other services furnished to customers on a complimentary
basis is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances.

The retail value of complimentaries included in
promotional allowances is as follows (in thousands):

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed in the period the advertising initially takes place. Advertising costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,921,000, $7,163,000 and $6,877,000, for the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Federal Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, Resorts is not subject to income tax liability. Therefore, holders of membership interests will include their respective
shares of Resorts taxable income in their income tax returns and Resorts will continue to make distributions for such tax liabilities.

The operating agreement of Eldorado Resorts LLC dated as of June 28, 1996, as amended (the Operating Agreement), which was further amended and restated as of December 14, 2007 (the New Operating Agreement),
obligated and obligates Resorts to distribute each year, for as long as it is not taxed as a corporation, to each of its members an amount equal to such members allocable share of the taxable income (loss) of Resorts multiplied by the highest
marginal combined Federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to individuals for that year.

The Louisiana Partnership is a
partnership and its tax attributes, including income and expense items have been passed through to its partners.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management estimates that the approximate fair market value of the 9% Senior Notes, issued April 2004, was approximately $49.1 million and $54.2 million
at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, versus its book value of $64.5 million. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments
with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Assets
and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:



| |  |  | Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Our 9% Senior Notes are classified as Level 3, as there is little, if any, market activity. Our credit facility is classified as Level 1 as it is tied to
market rates of interest and its carrying value approximates market value.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying
amounts approximate the fair values due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash: The carrying amounts approximate
the fair values due to the short maturity of the restricted cash.

Accounts Receivable, net: The carrying amounts approximate the fair
values due to the short maturity of the obligations.

Accounts and Interest Payable: The carrying amounts approximate the fair values
due to the short maturity of the obligations. Additional New Shreveport Notes were subsequently issued in lieu of the cash payment with respect to the noncurrent interest payable (see Note 9).

Capital Lease Obligations: The carrying amounts of these liabilities approximate their fair values as these obligations were recently incurred.

Long-term Debt: The carrying amount of New Shreveport Notes, including New Shreveport Notes subsequently issued in lieu of cash
interest payments, amounted to $124,483,000 at both December 31, 2008 and 2007. Changes in the market interest rate would impact the fair market value of the New Shreveport Notes. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, management estimates that
the fair market value of these debt securities is approximately $136,884,000 and $120,036,000, respectively. The New Shreveport Notes are classified as Level 3, as there is little, if any, market activity.

13% Preferred Equity Interest: The carrying amount of Preferred Capital Contribution Amount, including the associated unpaid Preferred Return, amounted to
$20,433,000 at both December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Included in the carrying amount are $1.12 million ES#1 paid for its 1.4% interest of the 13% Preferred Equity Interest (as described in Note 2) and accrued interest of $24,000 for
both 2008 and 2007, all of which is eliminated in consolidation. Changes in the market interest rate would impact the fair market value of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, management estimates that the
fair market value of these debt securities is approximately $22,192,000 and $19,245,000, respectively. The 13% Preferred Equity Interest is classified as Level 3, as there is little, if any, market activity.

Segment Reporting

The executive
decision makers of our Company review operating results, assess performance and make decisions on a property-by-property basis. We, therefore, consider each property to be an operating segment.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that a company disclose other comprehensive income (loss) and the components of such income (loss). The objective of SFAS No. 130 is
to report a measure of all changes in equity other than transactions with members, such as member distributions. Comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of net income (loss), and other comprehensive income (loss) which includes unrealized
gain (loss) on marketable securities available for sale.

In July 2008, we received Bally warrants from the dissolution of MindPlay. These
warrants that we received were valued at $193,000 and recorded as income at the end of the third quarter of 2008. We had a unrealized loss of $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. We do not actively trade such securities, which are
held as available for sale and therefore, pursuant to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, we recorded the unrealized loss in Other Comprehensive Loss on the consolidated balance
sheets as of December 31, 2008.

Other comprehensive loss consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses which do not affect net
income (loss) under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes an adjustment to our Bally warrants and was computed as follows (in
thousands):



|                                 |  |      |        |

|Marketable securities adjustment |  |      | (108   | )
|                                 |  |      |        |  
|Comprehensive loss               |  | ($   | 27,167 | )

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about
Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities. This FASB FSP amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require public entities
to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable
interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor
of a qualifying special purpose entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant
variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferors
continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprises involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008, and shall
apply for each annual and interim reporting period thereafter. We believe that the adoption of this FSP will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This statement is intended
to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This
statement was effective November 15, 2008. We currently adhere to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS 162, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and requires enhanced
disclosures. FSP 142-3 must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets acquired as of and subsequent to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesAn Amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Management does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

---

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity
that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, we do
not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This
statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an
acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This
statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
No. 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial
reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option
established by SFAS No. 159 permits all companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, a company shall report in earnings any unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a companys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that
begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (see below). The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for one year as it applies to certain
items, including assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination, reporting units and certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS
No. 142 and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessments under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



|2. | Shreveport, Louisiana Transaction
|-- | ---------------------------------

Pursuant to a
bankruptcy plan (the Plan) confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Louisiana, Shreveport Division (Case No. 04-13259) on July 22, 2005 and the Eldorado Shreveport Joint Venture Agreement between
ES#1, ES#2 and SGH the following events occurred upon the Eldorado Shreveport Joint Ventures emergence from bankruptcy:



| |  |  | ES#1 and ES#2, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Resorts, acquired 74% and 1%, respectively, of the partnership interests of the Louisiana Partnership,
representing all of the voting partnership interests of the Louisiana Partnership.

The gaming license, valued at $19,679,000, is an intangible asset acquired from the purchase of
gaming entities that are located in gaming jurisdictions where competition is limited, such as when only a limited number of gaming operators are allowed to operate. Gaming license rights are not subject to amortization as we have determined that
they have an indefinite useful life.

Customer relationships, valued at $1,959,000, are being ratably amortized over a five-year period.
Amortization of customer relationships is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Amortization expense with respect to customer relationships for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and
2006 amounted to $390,000. Such amortization expense is expected to be $390,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $225,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Silver Legacy had since 1999 utilized 40,000 square feet of space in the City Center Pavilion, which was located across North Virginia Street from
Silver Legacy on a special events plaza which was owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC and Circus-Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno and donated to the City of Reno in January 2007. In January 2007, the Eldorado recognized a $1.6 million charitable contribution
for this donation. The City Center Pavilion was removed in January 2007 to allow for the construction of a new city-owned ballroom facility, completed in February 2008, which is operated and managed by Silver Legacy, Eldorado Resorts LLC and
Circus-Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno, on the plaza site. In conjunction with the construction of the new facility, the Silver Legacy has agreed to fund up to $3.2 million in equipment purchases required for the operation of the ballroom.

Amortization of bond and loan costs is computed using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the
bonds or loans, respectively. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of our gaming licenses and customer relationships, management makes assumptions regarding such items as future cash flows, gaming taxes, the costs of continued
licensing and the pattern of customer visits. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Louisiana Partnership may be required to record impairment losses with respect to these assets. Such impairment loss, if any, would
be recognized as a non-cash component of operating income.



|7. | Investment in Joint Ventures
|-- | ----------------------------

Effective
March 1, 1994, ELLC (96% owned by Resorts and 4% minority interest collectively owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Hotel Casino Management) and Galleon, Inc. (a Nevada corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE
(MGM) which was acquired by MGM as a result of the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM with and into Mandalay Resort Group (Mandalay) on April 25, 2005) entered into a joint venture (the Silver Legacy Joint
Venture) pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the Original Joint Venture Agreement) to develop the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the Silver Legacy). The Silver Legacy consists of a casino and hotel located in Reno,
Nevada, which began operations on July 28, 1995. During 1994, ELLC contributed land to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture with a fair value of $25,000,000 (a book value of $17,215,000) and cash of $23,000,000. Additional cash contributions of
$3,900,000 were made in 1995, for a total equity investment of $51,900,000. Galleon, Inc. contributed cash of $51,900,000 to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. Each partner owns a 50% interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

On March 5, 2002, the Partners executed a new amendment and restatement of the Original Joint
Venture Agreement (as further amended in April 2002, the Joint Venture Agreement), the terms of which are summarized below, and the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and its wholly owned finance subsidiary, Silver Legacy Capital Corp., issued
$160 million principal amount of 101/8% mortgage notes due 2012 (the Silver Legacy Notes). Concurrently with the
issuance of the Silver Legacy Notes, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture (i) repaid the entire outstanding balance of the Original Silver Legacy Credit Agreement, (ii) entered into a new senior secured credit facility comprised of a $20.0
million term loan facility (which was paid in full in 2003) and a $20.0 million revolving facility with a five year maturity (the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement), and (iii) made distributions of $10.0 million to ELLC and $20.0
million to Mandalay Sub, utilizing the balance of the net proceeds of the Silver Legacy Notes and $26.0 million of borrowings under the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement. The Silver Legacy Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security
interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets (other than certain licenses which may not be pledged under applicable law) of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and a first priority pledge of and security interest in all of the
Partnership interests in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. The Silver Legacy Notes are secured by a security interest in the same assets and pledges of and security interest in the same Partnership interests which are junior to the security interests
and pledges securing the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement. On March 28, 2008, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture executed an additional amendment to extend the Silver Legacy Credit Facilitys maturity for an additional year to March 30,
2009 and reduce the revolving facility to $1.0 million. On August 12, 2008, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and Bank of America, N.A. executed an additional amendment to Silver Legacy Joint Ventures credit facility which retroactively
waived compliance with the credit facilitys financial covenants in respect of the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 and prospectively waives compliance with the credit facilitys financial covenants for each
subsequent quarter through and including December 31, 2008, provided that no additional credit is extended under the credit facility during a quarter for which the waiver is relied upon. There was no debt outstanding under the Silver Legacy
Credit Facility at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture was not in compliance with the financial covenants in the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement. As described previously, such noncompliance was
prospectively waived by an amendment, dated August 12, 2008, to the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement. As a result of the covenant noncompliance at December 31, 2008, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture

is precluded from utilizing the Silver Legacy Credit Agreement until it has completed a fiscal quarter as to which it is
in compliance with the facilitys covenants (including the financial covenants as though the August 12, 2008 waiver had not been given).

On January 28, 2009, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture executed an additional amendment to extend the Silver Legacy Credit Agreements maturity date for an additional year to March 30, 2010. This amendment also allowed for the
unconditional prepayments of the Silver Legacy Notes in an amount up to $20.0 million. The aforementioned financial covenants waiver remains in effect throughout 2009.

In February 2009, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture purchased and retired $17.2 million principal amount of the Silver Legacy Notes. The total purchase price of the Silver Legacy Notes was approximately $11.4 million,
resulting in a gain of approximately $5.8 million. The transaction was funded by available invested cash reserves.

Concurrently with the
closing of the issuance of the Silver Legacy Notes, the Original Joint Venture Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety and was further amended in April 2002. The April 2002 amendments were principally (i) to provide equal voting
rights for ELLC and Mandalay Sub (and procedures for resolving deadlocks) with respect to approval of the Silver Legacy Joint Ventures annual business plan and the appointment and compensation of the general manager, and (ii) to give each
partner the right to terminate the general manager.

Subject to any contractual restrictions to which the Silver Legacy Joint Venture is
subject, including the indenture relating to the Silver Legacy Notes, and prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture will be required by the Joint Venture Agreement to make distributions to its
Partners as follows:



|(a) | An amount equal to tax distributions equal to the estimated taxable income of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture allocable to each Partner multiplied by the greater of the maximum
marginal federal income tax rate applicable to individuals for such period or the maximum marginal federal income tax rate applicable to corporations for such period; provided, however, that if the State of Nevada enacts an income tax (including any
franchise tax based on income), the applicable tax rate for any tax distributions subsequent to the effective date of such income tax shall be increased by the higher of the maximum marginal individual tax rate or corporate income tax rate imposed
by such tax (after reduction for the federal tax benefit for the deduction of state taxes, using the maximum marginal federal, individual or corporate rate, respectively).
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | Annual distributions of remaining Net Cash From Operations in proportion to the Percentage Interests of the Partners.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | Distributions of Net Cash From Operations in amounts or at times that differ from those described in (a) and (b) above, provided in each case that both
Partners agree in writing to the distribution in advance thereof.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As defined in the Joint Venture Agreement, the term
Net Cash From Operations means the gross cash proceeds received by the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, less the following amounts: (i) cash operating expenses and payments of other expenses and obligations of the Silver Legacy Joint
Venture, including interest and scheduled principal payments on Silver Legacy Joint Venture indebtedness, including indebtedness owed to the Partners, if any, (ii) all capital expenditures made by the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, and
(iii) such reasonable reserves as the Partners deem necessary in good faith and in the best interests of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture to meet anticipated future obligations and liabilities of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture (less any release
of reserves previously established, as similarly determined). Any withdrawal from the Silver Legacy Joint Venture by either Partner results in a reduction of distributions to such withdrawing Partner to 75% of amounts otherwise payable to such
Partner.

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion Number 18, Equity Method of
Accounting in Common Stock, we test our investments annually for an other-than-temporary impairment. As a result of the Companys annual impairment test, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $16.55 million in 2008, which
is included in the consolidated statement of operations. Minority interests in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture were allocated $0.6 million of the non-cash impairment. Assumptions used in such analysis were impacted by current market conditions
including: 1) lower market valuation multiples for gaming assets; 2) higher discount rates resulting from turmoil in the credit and equity markets; and 3) current cash flow forecasts for the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

Effective July 1, 2000, Resorts and Avereon Research LTD. (ARL) entered into an
agreement to form MindPlay, LLC (the MindPlay Entity), for the purpose of developing, owning and marketing a sophisticated system which will permit the tracking and surveillance of pit gaming operations (MindPlay). On
February 19, 2004, Alliance Gaming Corp. (Ballys), a New York Stock Exchange listed company (Alliance), purchased substantially all of the assets of the MindPlay Entity, consisting primarily of intellectual
property, and assumed certain liabilities. On March 11, 2008, the managers and members of MindPlay LLC voted to accept a settlement agreement with Ballys and to dissolve the company effective immediately. Resorts, which owned
approximately 18% of MindPlay, received approximately $239,000 in cash in the first quarter of 2008 and in July 2008 received 18,663 warrants to purchase one share of Ballys common stock at an exercise price of $24.69 per share. These warrants
that we received were valued at $193,000 and recorded as income at the end of the third quarter of 2008. As a result of the settlement agreement, Ballys released MindPlay from any claims against Ballys. Equity in income (loss) related to
MindPlay for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $432,000, $0, and ($79,000), respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Resorts investment in MindPlay was $0.

On April 20, 2004, Resorts and Capital (the Issuers), issued $64.7 million
principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes (the 9% Notes), which are unsecured senior obligations that mature on April 15, 2014. Interest on the 9% Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year,
commencing on October 15, 2004. Other than as permitted to comply with an order or other requirements of a gaming regulatory authority, the Issuers will not have a right to redeem the 9% Notes prior to April 15, 2009, except that prior to
April 15, 2009, the Issuers may redeem the 9% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 9% Notes plus a make whole premium and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined), if any, to the redemption date.
Beginning on April 15, 2009, Resorts may redeem the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages (as defined), if any, to the applicable redemption date if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated:

Upon a change of control event, each holder of the 9% Notes may require the Issuers to repurchase all or
a portion of its 9% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 9% Notes, plus accrued interest. The indenture relating to the 9% Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Issuers ability and, in
certain instances, the ability of its subsidiaries, to incur indebtedness, make distributions to the holders of the Issuers equity, purchase the Issuers equity securities, make payments on its subordinated indebtedness other than in
accordance with the original terms thereof, incur liens, and merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Issuers assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

The Company has outstanding $140 million aggregate principal amount of 10% New Shreveport Notes due 2012. Interest on the New Shreveport Notes is payable
semi-annually each February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2006. Such interest is payable in cash or, at the option of the Louisiana Partnership and Shreveport Capital, through the issuance of additional New Shreveport Notes
for all or a portion of the amount of interest then due. However, this option to issue additional New Shreveport Notes in lieu of cash payments for interest may only be made for four semi-annual interest payments (which need not be consecutive) and,
with limited exceptions, may not be made once a Preferred Capital Contribution Amount has been redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Issuers. On February 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006, the Louisiana Partnership issued $8,206,000
and $7,410,000, respectively, of additional New Shreveport Notes in lieu of making a cash interest payment.

The New Shreveport Notes are
not redeemable prior to August 1, 2009. On or after August 1, 2009, the Louisiana Partnership and Shreveport Capital may redeem the New Shreveport Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount)
plus any accrued and unpaid interest:



|                         |  |            |  
|------------------------ |  | ---------- | -
|Year beginning August 1, |  | Percentage |  
|2009                     |  | 105.0      | %
|2010                     |  | 102.5      | %
|2011 and thereafter      |  | 100.0      | %

The issuers of the New Shreveport Notes may at their option also redeem from time to time not more
than 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes prior to August 1, 2009 at a price of 110.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest with the proceeds of a capital contribution in the amount of at least $20
million from ES#1 or ES#2 to the Louisiana Partnership.

The issuers of the New Shreveport Notes will be required to make an offer to
repurchase the New Shreveport Notes outstanding at 101% of the principal amount upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the indenture governing the New Shreveport Notes (see below). Redemption offers at 100% of the principal amount
are required to be made with the proceeds of Asset Sales in excess of $5 million or with Excess Loss Proceeds following an Event of Loss in excess of $5 million, as all such terms are defined in the indenture.

The New Shreveport Notes were issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2005, by and among the Issuers and U.S. Bank
National Association, as trustee (the New Indenture). The New Indenture includes covenants that, among other things, impose restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on the ability of the Louisiana Partnership and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Indenture) to declare or pay distributions on account of their equity interests, purchase or otherwise acquire their equity interests, make certain payments on or with respect to pari passu or subordinated
indebtedness, make investments, sell their assets, incur liens, engage in transactions with their affiliates, incur indebtedness and issue preferred equity. The New Shreveport Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially
all of the Louisiana Partnership and Shreveport Capital current and future assets. In addition, ES#1 and ES#2 have pledged their interests in the Louisiana Partnership, and Resorts has pledged its interests in ES#1 and ES#2, for the benefit of the
holders of the New Shreveport Notes.

In consideration for a 14.47% equity interest and a 2.5659% equity interest in Resorts, NGA
AcquisitionCo LLC, an unaffiliated entity, transferred to Resorts and Donald Carano, respectively, free and clear of any liens, ownership of $31,133,250 and $6,912,113 original principal amount of New Shreveport Notes, respectively (See Note 14).

We had the right, but were not obligated, to call all of the non-voting partnership equity interests for
purchase at any time after a full fiscal year of operations following the Effective Date where our trailing earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and management fees (EBITDAM) for the four fiscal quarters
preceding the date of the call exceeded $30 million. The call price for such interests was established as 25% of six (6) times the four fiscal quarter trailing EBITDAM, minus debt (including the New Shreveport Notes), minus accrued and unpaid
Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount (as both terms are described below), plus available cash.

On July 21,
2005, SGH acquired a 25% non-voting partnership equity interest and a $20 million preferred equity interest, due 2013, in the Louisiana Partnership pursuant to the Plan. On July 22, 2005, ES#1 converted 55,006 shares of the common stock of SGH
into (i) a 1.4% non-voting partnership interest in the Louisiana Partnership (reducing SGHs interest to 23.6%) and (ii) the right to distributions by the Louisiana Partnership in respect of $1.12 million of the preferred equity
interests of SGH (reducing the amount retained by SGH to $18.88 million). No value was attributed to the non-voting partnership equity interest on the Effective Date. The preferred equity interest was initially valued at its face amount of $20
million.

Holders of the non-voting partnership equity interests had the right, but were not obligated to, put all of those interests to
the Louisiana Partnership for purchase at any time after a full fiscal year of operations following the Effective Date where the Louisiana Partnerships trailing earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and management
fees (EBITDAM) for the four fiscal quarters preceding the date of the put exceeded $30,000,000. If the holders of the non-voting partnership equity interests exercised the put and required the Louisiana Partnership to purchase their
interests, the price for such interests would have been 25% of five and one-half (5.5) times the four fiscal quarter trailing EBITDAM, minus debt (including the New Shreveport Notes), minus accrued and unpaid Preferred Return and the Preferred
Capital Contribution Amount (as both terms are described below), plus available cash.

By a notice dated December 19, 2007 (the
Call Notice), the Louisiana Partnership exercised its call right under its Partnership Agreement to require SGH to sell to the Louisiana Partnership, subject to Louisiana gaming regulatory approval, all of SGHs 23.6% interest in
the Louisiana Partnership (the Call Transaction). By the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Louisiana Partnership was entitled to deliver the Call Notice because EBITDAM of the Louisiana Partnership for the period of four fiscal
quarters ended September 30, 2007, exceeded $30 million. On March 18, 2008, the Louisiana Partnership received approval from the Louisiana gaming authority and on March 20, 2008, the transaction closed. Based on EBITDAM of
$31,286,480, the call purchase price was $9,263,426 and that amount was paid to SGH upon the closing of the Call Transaction. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, following the closing of the Call Transaction, SGH retained all of its rights
relating to its Preferred Capital Contribution Amount and its Preferred Return. The Louisiana Partnership accounted for the 23.6% interest acquired as a reduction of equity.

The Louisiana Partnerships Fourth Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2005, as amended by the Fifth Amended and
Restated Partnership Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2005 (the Partnership Agreement), provides for a Preferred Return (as defined) on the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount (as defined) to SGH, and each
transferee of any of SGHs interest in the Louisiana Partnership that becomes a partner in the Louisiana Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (each an SGH Transferee). As defined in the Partnership Agreement,
Preferred Capital Contribution Amount means $20 million less the cumulative amounts distributed from time to time in payment of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount. As defined in the Partnership Agreement, Preferred
Return means an amount calculated in the same manner as interest on a loan accruing daily from June 30, 2005, at an annual rate of 13% (based upon a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable), compounded quarterly on the last day of each fiscal
quarter of each applicable year, taking into account distributions of Preferred Return made pursuant to the Partnership Agreement as if they were payments of interest and distributions in payment of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount made
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement as if they were payments of principal. As of both December 31, 2008 and 2007, accrued interest with respect to the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount was $433,000, of which $24,000, was payable to ES#1.
During August 2007, the Louisiana Partnership paid all of the Preferred Return incurred from the Effective Date through July 31, 2007, which amounted to $6.1 million, including $321,000 paid to ES#1.

Prior to July 22, 2013, the Partnership Agreement permits, but does not require, the Louisiana Partnerships managing partner, ES#1, to make
annual distributions in payment of the Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount from the Louisiana Partnerships Distributable Cash Flow (as defined) remaining after all distributions required to be made with
respect to the current and all prior fiscal years, including any required tax distributions. On July 22, 2013, the Louisiana Partnership is required by the Partnership Agreement to distribute to SGH and any SGH Transferees (collectively, the
Preferred Return Partners) amounts sufficient to (i) pay all accrued Preferred Return not previously paid and (ii) pay the remaining Preferred Capital Contribution Amount. Except as otherwise provided in the Partnership
Agreement, no distributions other than payments of the Preferred Return and payments of the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount will be made to the Louisiana Partnerships partners on account of their interests in the Louisiana Partnership
unless sufficient distributions have been made to the Preferred Return Partners such that the

Preferred Return Partners have received all accrued Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount has
been reduced to zero. Failure to pay the Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount in full on or before July 22, 2013 will give rise to the right to terminate the Management Agreement (see Note 12) as set forth therein.

Resorts credit facility is a senior secured revolving credit facility which was amended and restated on February 28, 2006, to
extend the maturity date from March 31, 2006 to February 28, 2011, and to restore to $30.0 million the amount of credit available under the facility. On March 13, 2009, the credit facility was amended to reduce to $20.0 million as of
that date, and further reduce by $1.0 million at the end of each quarter thereafter, the amount of credit available under the facility. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at either (i) the greater
of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its Prime Rate or (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus .50% (Base Rate) or (ii) a Eurodollar rate determined in accordance with the credit
facility. The Eurodollar rate was 2.71% and the Base Rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2008. The effective rate of interest on borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2007 was 3.65% per annum. As of December 31,
2008, $12.75 million of borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility, $2.4 million outstanding on a note payable to the bank, and an additional $17.25 million of borrowing capacity was available thereunder.

The credit facility is secured by substantially all of Resorts real property. The credit facility includes various restrictions and other covenants
including: (i) restrictions on the disposition of property, (ii) restrictions on investments and acquisitions, (iii) restrictions on distributions to members of Resorts, (iv) restrictions on the incurrence of liens and negative
pledges, (v) restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of guarantees, (vi) restrictions on transactions with affiliates and, (vii) restrictions on annual capital expenditures including capital leases. The credit
facility also contains financial covenants including a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio, a maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum equity requirement. On November 13, 2007, Resorts, Bank of
America, N.A., and Capital One, N.A. executed an amendment to the credit facility that waived the default under the covenant relating to distributions and reduced the minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges from 1.25 to 1.1 under the credit
facility with retroactive effect for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and for each subsequent quarter through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2008. On March 28, 2008, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and
Capital One, N.A. executed an amendment to the credit facility that waived the default under the covenant relating to distributions and further reduced the minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges from 1.1 to 1.0 under the credit facility with
retroactive effect for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and for each subsequent quarter through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2008. On March 13, 2009, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and Capital One,
N.A. executed an additional amendment to the credit facility that retroactively reset the minimum members equity to $90.0 million at December 31, 2008, kept the total debt to EBITDA ratio at 4.0 to 1.0 through December 31, 2010, and
eliminated from the EBITDA calculation the $6.8 million in expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 in connection with the Evansville transaction (acquisition termination charges). As of the date of the amendment, the amount of credit
available pursuant to the credit facility was reduced to $20.0 million and by its terms, the commitment reduces by an additional $1.0 million at the end of each subsequent quarter, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2009 until
maturity. These changes are retroactive for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, there was no event of default under the credit facility other than a default under the facilitys financial covenant relating to
total debt to EBITDA which was cured by the aforementioned retroactive adjustment to the provision in the credit facility relating to the calculation of EBITDA.

The credit facility and the indenture relating to the 9% Notes contain various restrictive covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios and limitations on additional debt, disposition of property,
mergers and similar transactions. As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. The Company is also obligated to deliver its annual audited financial statements within 90 days of the end of the year. The
Company was not timely in the delivery of this 2008 annual report. The Company provided such annual report on May 13, 2009 and management believes the Company is currently in compliance as the financial reporting requirement was satisfied by
the delivery of this annual report. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Newport Global Advisors LP (see Note 16).

On December 30, 2005, Resorts entered into an agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC in the amount of $3.0 million for the
sole purpose of acquiring a 2000 Raytheon Aircraft Company Model B300 aircraft. The note evidencing the obligation (the Aircraft Note) is payable in monthly installments of $30,526, beginning on January 30, 2006, including interest
at 6.46% per annum, to December 30, 2012, when the remaining principal balance in the amount of $1,479,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, becomes due and payable. The Aircraft Note is secured by the aircraft.

Capital Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under agreements classified as capital leases. In May 2008, the Company entered into a lease
agreement in the original amount of $601,000 with a third party lessor to acquire an exterior sign at the Eldorado Reno at 8.243% per annum. The lease has an original term of 60 months with monthly payments of $11,269. The lease contains a
bargain purchase option at the end of the lease period. During 2006, the Eldorado Shreveport entered into lease agreements in the original amount of $321,000 with third party lessors to acquire certain gaming and operating equipment for the Eldorado
Shreveport at Shreveports estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar purchases of equipment of 12% per annum. During 2006, the Eldorado Reno entered into a lease agreement in the original amount of $690,000 with a third party lessor
to acquire mini-bars for hotel rooms at the Eldorado Reno at 9.875% per annum. The leases have original terms of 18 to 96 months and contain bargain purchase options at the end of the lease periods. The leases are treated as capital leases for
financial reporting purposes. The future minimum lease payments, including interest, by year under these leases, together with the present value of the minimum lease payments consisted of the following at December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

The Eldorado
Shreveport is party to a ground lease with the City of Shreveport for the land on which the casino was built. The lease has an initial term ending December 20, 2010 with subsequent renewals for up to an additional 40 years. The base rental
amount is currently $450,000 per year and continues at that amount for the remainder of the initial ten-year lease term. During the first five-year renewal term, the base annual rental will be $402,500. The annual base rental payment will increase
by 15% during each of the

second, third, fourth and fifth five-year renewal terms with no further increases. The base rental portion of the ground
lease is being amortized on a straight-line basis. In addition to the base rent, the lease requires percentage rent based on adjusted gross receipts to the City of Shreveport and payments in lieu of admission fees to the City of
Shreveport and the Bossier Parish School Board. Payments made under the terms of the ground lease are as follows (in thousands):

Expenses under operating leases (exclusive of the ground lease) amounted to $725,000, $771,000 and
$977,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Effective June 1, 2006, the Eldorado Shreveport terminated a
lease agreement with respect to approximately 45,000 square feet of retail space located across the street from the casino/hotel complex thereby becoming the direct lessor for the retail tenants. The termination of the lease resulted from the
default on payments from the lessee. Rental revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $182,000, $252,000 and $167,000, respectively. There are currently three tenants renting approximately 10,740 square feet of
space under rental agreements expiring at various dates between 2009 and 2011, most of which have optional renewal periods. Rental payments are comprised of fixed monthly amounts, percentage rentals and common area maintenance payments.

Legal Matters

The Company is
subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions and other matters arising in the normal course of business. In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is
adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may
not materially impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.
The Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled and in July 2008 refused to reconsider its previous decision, in a case involving another casino company,
that food purchased for the use in providing complimentary meals to customers and to employees was exempt from sales and use tax. The Company had previously paid use tax on these items and has generally filed for refunds from the periods from
November 1999 to February 2008 related to this matter. The aggregate amount for which a refund claim is pending is approximately $1.7 million. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not recorded income related to this matter since it is still
subject to review by the states Attorney Generals office. However, the Company is claiming the exemption on sales and use tax returns for periods after February 2008 in light of the Nevada Supreme Court decision.

On July 22, 2005, Resorts and the Louisiana Partnership entered into a Management Agreement (the
Management Agreement) pursuant to which Resorts, as the Louisiana Partnerships exclusive agent, manages the Eldorado Shreveport. For its services, Resorts is entitled to receive a Base Management Fee of $2.5 million annually,
payable in quarterly installments of $625,000 each on October 22, January 22, April 22 and July 22 of each year during the term of the Management Agreement, beginning October 22, 2005. Payment of the Base
Management Fee has priority over the payment of any interest due on the New Shreveport Notes. Resorts is also entitled to an Incentive Fee equal to the sum of (i) 15% of the amount, if any, by which EBITDA (as defined in the
Management Agreement) for any calendar year during the term of the Management Agreement exceeds $20 million and (ii) an additional 5% of the amount, if any, by which EBITDA (as defined in the Management Agreement) for any such
calendar year exceeds $25 million. By its terms, the Management Agreement will continue in effect through the date the Louisiana Partnership no longer holds a riverboat gaming license for the Eldorado Shreveport, unless the agreement is earlier
terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding Resorts right to terminate the Management Agreement at any time when any of the Base Management Fee or Incentive Fee due and payable to it remains unpaid, such
termination will not be effective without the consent of the Louisiana Partnership until a replacement manager has been selected by the Louisiana Partnership and approved by the Louisiana Board so long as (a) the Louisiana Partnership has
reimbursed Resorts for all reasonably incurred and documented out-of-pocket expenses associated with the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement within 30 days following Resorts submission to the Louisiana Partnership of
the applicable request for reimbursement pursuant to the terms of the agreement and (b) during the period beginning on the 180th day following the date of Resorts written notice of termination, for each month that Resorts continues to
serve as the manager pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Louisiana Partnership has paid Resorts a monthly fee of $100,000, which is due and payable no later than 15 days following the end of the month. The Louisiana Partnership
expensed $2,500,000, $2,500,000 and $2,500,000 in base fees under the Management Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively and $2,098,000, $882,000 and $494,000 in incentive fees during the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We believe that all of the
transactions mentioned below are on terms at least as favorable to us as would have been obtained from an unrelated party.

The Company
owns the entire parcel on which the Eldorado is located, except for approximately 30,000 square feet which is leased from C, S and Y Associates, a general partnership of which Donald Carano is a general partner (the C, S and Y Lease).
The C, S and Y Lease expires on June 30, 2027. Annual rent is equal to the greater of (i) $400,000 or (ii) an amount based on a decreasing percentage of the Eldorados gross gaming revenues ranging from 3% of the first $6.5
million of gross gaming revenues to 0.1% of gross gaming revenues in excess of $75 million. Rent pursuant to the C, S and Y Lease amounted to approximately $624,000, $633,000, and $632,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company from time to time leases aircrafts owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc., which owns 47% of Resorts, for use in operating the
Companys business. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, lease payments for the aircraft totaled $1,177,000, $1,627,000, and $1,224,000, respectively.

The Company from time to time leases a yacht owned by Sierra Adventure Equipment, Inc., a limited liability company beneficially owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc., for use in operating the Companys business. In 2008, 2007 and
2006, lease payments for the yacht totaled approximately $81,500, $81,500, and $55,000, respectively.

The Company occasionally purchases
wine and firewood directly from the Ferrari Carano Winery, which is owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc. and Donald Carano. The firewood is used in the Eldorado in its various wood burning ovens while wine purchases are sent directly to customers
in appreciation of their patronage. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company spent approximately $63,500, $106,000, and $48,000, respectively, for these products.

The Company received $2,500,000, $2,500,000 and $2,500,000 in base fees under the management agreement during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $2,098,000, $882,000 and $494,000
in incentive fees during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Pursuant to the management agreement, the Company gets reimbursed for wages incurred while working at the Eldorado Shreveport. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the
Louisiana Partnership paid the Company approximately $68,000, $25,000 and $74,000, respectively.

The Silver Legacy made a special
distribution totaling $5.0 million to ELLC in March 2008. In 2007, the Silver Legacy made payments pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, representing tax distributions, to the Company in the amount of approximately $2.3 million. Total
distributions received from the Silver Legacy for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $5,000,000, $2,263,000 and $1,616,000 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Resorts made a $1.2 million tax
distribution to its members relating to the year ended 2007 and an additional $1.2 million tax distribution to its members, utilizing funds from the $1.5 million tax distribution from Eldorado Shreveport, relating to the year ended 2008. During the
year ended December 31, 2007, Resorts made cash distributions of $14.8 million, utilizing all of the $2.3 million from the Silver Legacy, to its members. The distributions by Resorts in 2007 included a $10 million special distribution to the
members of Resorts prior to Resorts issuance of a new 14.47% equity interest in the transaction discussed in the following paragraph. The balance of Resorts 2007 distributions was for income taxes.

In April 2008, the Silver Legacy and Eldorado began combining certain back-of-the-house and administrative departmental operations, including purchasing,
advertising, information systems, surveillance and engineering, of the Eldorado and Silver Legacy in an effort to achieve payroll cost savings synergies at both properties. Payroll costs associated with the combined operations are shared equally and
are billed at cost plus an estimated allocation for related benefits and taxes. During 2008, the Silver Legacy reimbursed Eldorado $129,200 for Silver Legacys allocable portion of the shared administrative services costs associated with the
operations performed at the Eldorado and the Eldorado reimbursed the Silver Legacy $30,100 for Eldorados allocable portion of the shared administrative services costs associated with the operations performed at Silver Legacy.

In 2006, Donald Carano, Hotel Casino Management and Recreational Enterprises, Inc. received as a nonmonetary distribution from the Company, land held for
development located in Verdi, Nevada, at a determined value of $900,000. The Company recognized a $213,000 gain on the distribution of this land.

The Partnership Agreement obligates the Louisiana Partnership to distribute to each of its partners quarterly for as long as it is not taxed as a corporation, an amount of Distributable Cash Flow (as defined) equal to the
partners allocable share of the taxable income of the Louisiana Partnership, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, multiplied by a percentage equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the highest
federal marginal income tax rate in effect for individuals (after

Internal Revenue Code sections 67 and 68 as if the individuals only income was the income allocated to such individual in his or her capacity as a partner of the Louisiana Partnership) plus (ii) the highest marginal Louisiana and
Shreveport, Louisiana income tax rates in effect for individuals or (b) the sum of (i) the highest federal marginal income tax rate in effect for corporations plus (ii) the highest marginal Louisiana and Shreveport, Louisiana income
or franchise tax rates in effect for corporations (after giving effect to the federal income tax deduction for such state and local income or franchise taxes). For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Louisiana Partnership made a $1,530,000
distribution. No distributions were made during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Resorts entered into an Amended and
Restated Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement), with NGA AcquisitionCo LLC, an unaffiliated entity (NGA), and Donald L. Carano, who is the presiding member of Resorts Board of
Managers and the Chief Executive Officer of Resorts (Carano), pursuant to which NGA agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, to acquire a 17.0359% equity interest in Resorts (the 17.0359%
Interest), including a new 14.47% equity interest to be acquired directly from Resorts (the 14.47% Interest) and an outstanding 3% membership interest (that, as a result of the issuance of the 14.47% Interest, reduced to a 2.5659%
interest (the 2.5659% Interest)) to be acquired from Carano. Upon completion of the NGA transaction, which occurred on December 14, 2007, Carano or members of his family continued to own 51% of Resorts and Carano continued in his
roles in the management of Resorts. As discussed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, Resorts entered into a new operating agreement. The closing of the NGA transaction was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions,
including the receipt of all necessary approvals from the Nevada and Louisiana gaming authorities.

Under the terms of the New Operating
Agreement, at any time after the occurrence of a Material Event (as defined) or at any time after June 14, 2015 (the Trigger Date) the Company or its permitted assignee(s) (the Interest Holder) will have the
right to sell (Put) all but not less than all the 14.47% Interest to Resorts and Resorts will have the right to purchase (Call) all but not less than all of the 17.0359% Interest, at a price equal to the fair market value of
the interest being acquired without discounts for minority ownership and lack of marketability, as determined by mutual agreement of the Interest Holder and Resorts or, in the event that after 30 days the Interest Holder and Resorts have not
mutually agreed on a purchase price, then at the purchase price determined by the average of two appraisals by nationally recognized appraisers of private companies, provided the two appraisals are within a 5% range of value based upon the lowest of
the two appraisals. If the two appraisals are not within the 5% range, the purchase price will be determined by the average of a third mutually acceptable, independent, nationally recognized appraiser of private companies and the next nearest of the
first two appraisals unless the third appraisal is at the mid-point of the first two appraisals, in which event the third appraisal will be used to established the fair market value. So long as a Material Event has not occurred, the Interest Holder
will have the right to unilaterally extend the Trigger Date for up to two one-year extension periods. Upon exercise of either the Call or the Put, the New Operating Agreement provided that the transaction close within one year of the exercise of the
right unless delayed for necessary approvals from applicable gaming authorities.

These put and call rights have been evaluated from an
accounting perspective and Company management has determined that neither the put or call meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to the guidance SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS No. 133), and therefore have no immediate accounting considerations. Accordingly, the put and call rights are not reflected on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

In consideration for the 14.47% Interest and the 2.5659% Interest, NGA transferred to Resorts and Carano, respectively, free and clear of any liens,
ownership of $31,133,250 and $6,912,113 original principal amount of New Shreveport Notes, respectively, together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date. Carano also received an equity interest of $286,889
related to SGH. The equity interest in Resorts was recorded at fair value in accordance with the guidance provided in SFAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,
SFAS No. 140. Accordingly, the assets received by Resorts and Carano from the exchange was recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price of the investments given up by Resorts and Carano. This accounting treatment is consistent with
the guidance provided in SFAS No. 140 which indicates that quoted market prices are the best evidence of fair value. It was determined that the quoted market prices of Resorts and Caranos investments were more indicative of fair
value as compared to the equity value of a privately held company like Resorts. At closing, Resorts paid NGA $1,142,974 in cash representing interest on the New Shreveport Notes accrued and unpaid through the date of closing. Carano paid NGA
$170,658 in cash representing interest on the New Shreveport Notes accrued and unpaid through October 31, 2007.

|15. | Supplemental Cash Flow Information
|--- | ----------------------------------

In May 2008,
the Company entered into a lease agreement in the original amount of $601,000 with a third party lessor to acquire an exterior sign at the Eldorado Reno at 8.243% per annum. The new obligation and the associated asset cost has been excluded
from the accompanying consolidated and consolidating statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 as a non-cash transaction.

The Louisiana Partnership entered into capital lease agreements during 2006 amounting to $321,000 used to purchase certain gaming and operating equipment. Also in 2006, the Eldorado Reno entered into a lease agreement in the original amount
of $690,000 to acquire mini-bars for hotel rooms (Note 11). The new obligations and the associated asset costs have been excluded from the accompanying consolidated and consolidating statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006
as a non-cash transaction.

On February 1 and August 1, 2006, respectively, the Louisiana Partnership issued $8,206,000 and
$7,410,000 of additional New Shreveport Notes due 2012 in lieu of making the cash interest payments of which $8,616,000 and $7,000,000 was financed in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
for the Preferred Equity Interest was $2,910,000 and $1,321,000, respectively, which is included in the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount, of which $159,000 and $74,000, respectively, is eliminated in consolidation. Accrued interest with respect
to the Preferred Capital Contribution Amount of $4,231,000 and $1,321,000 is included in the 13% Preferred Equity Interest at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of which $233,000 and $74,000, respectively, is payable to ES#1.

In 2006, the Company made a nonmonetary distribution in the form of land held for development located in Verdi, Nevada, at a determined value of
$900,000.

The Silver Legacy had since 1999 utilized 40,000 square feet of space in the City Center Pavilion, which was located across
North Virginia Street from Silver Legacy on a special events plaza which was owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC and Circus-Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno and donated to the City of Reno in January 2007. In January 2007, the Eldorado recognized a $1.6
million loss on the nonmonetary contribution of this land.

In December 2007, in consideration for the 14.47% Interest, NGA transferred to
Resorts free and clear of any liens, ownership of $31,133,250 original principal amount of New Shreveport Notes together with the right to all interest paid with respect thereto after the closing date. At closing, Resorts paid NGA $1,142,974 in cash
representing interest on the New Shreveport Notes accrued and unpaid through the date of closing.

In July 2008, as a result of
MindPlays settlement agreement with Ballys, we received 18,663 warrants which allowed us to recognize $193,000 in income.



|16. | Subsequent Events
|--- | -----------------

As of March 31, 2009, there
was no event of default under the credit facility other than a default under the facilitys financial covenant relating to minimum members equity which was cured by an adjustment to the provision in the credit facility relating to minimum
members equity. On May 8, 2009, Resorts, Bank of America, N.A., U.S. Bank, N.A. and Capital One, N.A. executed an amendment to the credit facility that that retroactively reset the minimum members equity to $80.0 million at
March 31, 2009. The outstanding indebtedness on the credit facility as of March 31, 2009 was $6.25 million, a reduction of $6.5 million from December 31, 2008.

On May 12, 2009, Resorts and Newport Global Advisors L.P. (Newport) executed an
agreement (the Newport Agreement). Pursuant to the Newport Agreement, if at any time Resorts believes that it may in the reasonably foreseeable future be in default of any of the provisions of Sections 6.13, 6.14, 6.15 or 6.16 of its
credit facility, Newport will be obligated, within ten days after a written request therefor, to make a loan to Resorts in the amount requested; provided, however, that a loan request may not be made after the earlier of the first anniversary of the
Newport Agreement, or the maturity date of the credit facility (including, for this purpose, any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof). The amount that may be borrowed under the Newport Agreement may not exceed the lesser of (i) the
maximum amount which may at the time be borrowed by Resorts without causing it to be in default of the limitations on indebtedness contained in Section 4.09 of the indenture relating to the 9% Notes (the Indenture) or (ii) such
amount which is equal to the greater of (A) the excess of (1) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the loans made to Resorts under (I) the credit facility and (II) the Loan and Aircraft Security Agreement (the Aircraft
Loan Agreement) dated as of December 30, 2005 between Resorts and Banc of America Leasing and Capital, LLC (including for this purpose any amendments, replacements or extensions thereof) at the time of the written request, over
(2) $5,000,000, or (B) at Newports option, the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding under the credit facility. Any loan under the Newport Agreement will bear interest at a rate mutually determined by
Resorts and Newport, and principal and interest will be payable on the 45thday of each fiscal

---

quarter (commencing with the second fiscal quarter beginning after a loan is made) in an amount equal to the Excess
Cash Flow (as defined), if any, of Resorts for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the payment date, but, in any event, the entire unpaid principal balance of any loan made under the Newport Agreement and all accrued interest
thereon will be payable in full no later than the first anniversary of the date of the loan. In the event Newport makes a loan in an amount equal to the entire balance of principal and accrued interest then outstanding under the credit
facility, or the loans under the credit facility or any successor loans are paid in full directly or indirectly without using the proceeds of any loan(s) or other financing other than any loan made by Newport, and, in either case, the credit
facility is terminated, Resorts will (subject to any required approvals of gaming regulators) be obligated to grant a first lien to Newport on the collateral securing the credit facility to secure any loan made by Newport under the Newport
Agreement; provided, however, that if such a lien cannot otherwise be granted without causing Resorts to violate the terms of the Indenture, such lien may also equally and ratably secure the 9% Notes, and the loan made by Newport hereunder will be
pari passu in right of payment with the 9% Notes.

Subject to prior receipt by Resorts of all applicable regulatory approvals and the
approval of Resorts Board of Managers, Resorts will be obligated, if any loan is made under the Newport Agreement, to issue to Newport such number of membership interests in Resorts as is mutually agreed to by Resorts and Newport, it being the
intention of the parties to the Newport Agreement that any issuance of membership interests in Resorts be structured in such a manner as to not result in a Change of Control, as that term is defined in the Indenture.

It is anticipated that in the next few weeks Resorts will (subject to the consent of the lender under the Aircraft Loan Agreement) reach an agreement
with the Louisiana Partnership to sell to the Louisiana Partnership the aircraft which serves as collateral under the Aircraft Loan Agreement on terms that will relieve Resorts of any obligation for the indebtedness remaining under the Aircraft Loan
Agreement. However, there is no assurance that such a transaction will be consummated. In the event that the aircraft has not been sold by Resorts on or before July 1, 2009, Resorts will be obligated under the Newport Agreement to pay Newport a
fee of $25,000 on July 1, 2009, which will be in addition to a $25,000 commitment fee paid to Newport at the time the Newport Agreement was executed by the parties.

As used in the Newport Agreement, the term Excess Cash Flow means, for any fiscal quarter, the amount computed by Resorts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as follows:

(a) Resorts net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and any extraordinary or non-recurring income for that quarter;
minus

(b) capital expenditures made by Resorts in that quarter; minus

(c) interest, principal payments, fees and related expenses paid by Resorts in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money, capital and finance leases by
Resorts, and draws upon any letters of credit issued to third parties for Resorts benefit in respect of that quarter; minus

(d) all
income taxes, and distributions made to equity holders on account of, or with respect to, such equity holders allocable share of the taxable income of Resorts, paid in cash by Resorts in that quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture

(d/b/a Silver Legacy Resort Casino) :

We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture (d/b/a Silver Legacy Resort Casino) and subsidiary (collectively, the Partnership) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, partners equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 31, 2007, the Partnership
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.

CIRCUS AND ELDORADO JOINT VENTURE

(doing business as Silver Legacy Resort Casino)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation/Operations

Effective March 1, 1994, Eldorado Limited Liability Company (a Nevada limited liability company owned and controlled by Eldorado Resorts, LLC) (ELLC) and Galleon, Inc. (a Nevada corporation owned and controlled by MGM
MIRAGE and previously owned and controlled by Mandalay Resort Group (Mandalay) (Galleon and, collectively with ELLC, the Partners), entered into a joint venture agreement to establish Circus and Eldorado Joint
Venture (the Partnership), a Nevada general partnership. The Partnership owns and operates a casino and hotel located in Reno, Nevada (Silver Legacy), which began operations on July 28, 1995. ELLC contributed land to the
Partnership with a fair value of $25,000,000 and cash of $26,900,000 for a total equity investment of $51,900,000. Galleon contributed cash to the Partnership of $51,900,000 to comprise their total equity investment. Each partner has a 50% interest
in the Partnership.

On April 25, 2005, a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE was merged with and into Mandalay as a result of which
Mandalay became a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE. With the consummation of the merger, MGM MIRAGE acquired Mandalays ownership of Galleon, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Silver Legacy Capital Corp. (Capital). Capital was established solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of $160,000,000 principal amount of 101/8% mortgage notes due 2012 co-issued by the Partnership and Capital and, as such, Capital does not have any operations, assets, or revenues. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those principles require the Partnerships management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates incorporated into our consolidated financial statements include estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated cash flows in assessing
the recoverability of long-lived assets, our self-insured liability reserves, players club liabilities, contingencies and litigation, claims and assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Outstanding Chips and Tokens

The Partnership
recognizes the impact on gaming revenues on an annual basis to reflect an estimate of the change in the value of outstanding chips and tokens that are not expected to be redeemed. This estimate is determined by measuring the difference between the
total value of chips and tokens placed in service less the value of chips and tokens in the inventory of chips and tokens under our control. This measurement is performed on an annual basis utilizing methodology in which a consistent formula is
applied to estimate the percentage value of chips and tokens not in custody that are not expected to be redeemed. In addition to the formula, certain judgments are made with regard to various denominations and souvenir chips and tokens.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, as well as investments purchased with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The carrying values of these investments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Partnership issues markers to approved casino customers following background checks and
investigations of creditworthiness. Trade receivables, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously
written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Partnerships receivables to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific
review of customer accounts as well as

historical collection experience and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that as of
December 31, 2008, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance had not already been recorded (See Note 2).

Inventories

Inventories consist of food and beverage, retail merchandise and operating supplies, and are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined primarily by the average cost method for food and beverage and supplies or specific identification methods for retail merchandise.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment and other long-lived assets are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:



|                                   |  |                       
|---------------------------------- |  | ----------------------
|                                   |  | Estimated Service Life
|                                   |  | (Years)               
|Building and other improvements    |  | 15-45                 
|Furniture, fixtures, and equipment |  | 3-15                  

Costs of major improvements are capitalized, while costs of normal repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the determination of operating income.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If it is determined that the asset is impaired based on expected undiscounted
future cash flows, a loss, measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, would be recognized. For assets to be disposed of we recognize the asset at the lower of carrying value or fair market
value, less cost of disposal, as estimated based on comparable asset sales or solicited offers. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying values of our long-lived assets may not be
recoverable.

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

In accordance with industry practice, the Partnership recognizes as casino revenue the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Hotel, food and beverage, and other
operating revenues are recognized as services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as accrued liabilities until services are provided to the customer. Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash sales
incentives. The retail value of food, beverage, rooms and other services furnished to customers on a complimentary basis is included in gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The Partnership rewards customers, through the use of
our loyalty programs, with complimentaries based on amounts wagered or won that can be redeemed for a specified time period. The retail value of complimentaries is recorded as revenue and then is deducted as promotional allowances as follows (in
thousands):



|                  |  |                          |        |      |   |        |  |   |

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed in the period the advertising initially takes place. Advertising costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,093,000, $6,977,000 and $6,187,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Federal Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to income taxes; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made, as the Partners include their respective share of
the Partnership income (loss) in their income tax returns. The Partnership Agreement provides for the Partnership to make distributions to the Partners in an amount equal to the maximum marginal federal income tax rate applicable to any Partner
multiplied by the income (loss) of the Partnership for the applicable period (see Note 11).

The reported amounts of the Partnerships
assets and liabilities exceeded the net tax basis by $39,637,600 and $40,786,500, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over
the term of the related debt agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Except for the Partnerships 101/8% mortgage notes, management is of the opinion that the fair value of all of its financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values due to their
short-term nature. The approximate fair value of the Partnerships 101/8% mortgage notes, based on quoted market prices,
was approximately $105,600,000 at December 31, 2008.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses which do not affect net income under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 includes an adjustment to the minimum pension liability and was computed as follows (in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 as it applies to certain items, including assets and liabilities
initially measured at fair value in a business combination, reporting units and certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS 142 and long-lived assets measured at fair
value for impairment assessments under SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the
FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The Partnerships partial adoption of SFAS 157 in 2008 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements. The Partnership does not believe that its adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits the measure of certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial
statement users to understand these measurements and their impact on earnings. This statement was effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership elected not to use the fair
value option permitted under SFAS 159 for any of its financial assets and financial liabilities that are not already recorded at fair value. In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements  An Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, (SFAS 160) the provisions of which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement requires an entity to
classify noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity. Additionally, transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests are required to be treated as equity transactions. The Partnership does not believe that
the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for
using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Partnership does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends
the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and requires enhanced
related disclosures. FSP 142-3 must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets acquired as of and subsequent to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership does not believe that the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement was effective November 15, 2008. The Partnership currently adheres to the hierarchy of GAAP as presented in SFAS 162, and the adoption is not expected to
have a material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities. This FASB FSP amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of
Variable



F-54



---

Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a
variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying
special purpose entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable
interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferors continuing
involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprises involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008, and shall apply for
each annual and interim reporting period thereafter. The Partnership believes that the adoption of this FSP will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The initial inventory of china, glassware and silverware has been amortized to 50% of cost with the
balance kept as base stock. Additional purchases of china, glassware and silverware are placed into inventory and expensed as used.

The Partnership incurred costs in connection with its issuance of its 101/8% mortgage notes due March 2012 and in connection with its bank credit facility (see Note 6). Debt issuance costs are capitalized
when incurred and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt maturities using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. At December 31, 2008, the unamortized balance related to the
Partnerships bank credit facility was $2,500 and will be amortized over the remaining term of the facility through March 31, 2009. Costs related to the completed offering of the 101/8mortgage notes included in other assets totaled $1,919,000 and $2,520,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization of the debt issuance costs were
$4,381,000 and $3,780,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs included in interest expense was $678,400, $685,800 and $722,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

Life insurance contracts are purchased to informally fund the Partnerships Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan. Amounts included in other assets represent the cash surrender value of these life insurance contracts (see Note 9).

On March 5, 2002, the Partnership and
Capital (collectively, the Issuers) co-issued $160,000,000 principal amount of senior secured 101/8mortgage notes
due 2012 (Notes). Concurrent with issuing the Notes, the Partnership entered into a senior secured credit facility (the Credit Facility) for $40,000,000. The Credit Facility originally provided for a $20,000,000 senior
secured revolving credit facility and a $20,000,000 five-year term loan facility, each of which provided for the payment of interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus a spread. The proceeds from the Notes, together with $26,000,000 in borrowings
under the Credit Facility, were used to repay $150,200,000 representing all of the indebtedness outstanding under a prior bank credit facility and to fund $30,000,000 of distributions to the Partners. In addition, the remaining proceeds along with
operating cash flows were used to pay $6,300,000 in related fees and expenses of the transactions. These fees were capitalized and are included in other assets.

The Notes are senior secured obligations which rank equally with all of the Partnerships
outstanding senior debt and senior to any subordinated debt. The Notes are secured by a security interest in the Issuers existing and future assets, which is junior to a security interest in such assets securing the Partnerships
obligations on the Credit Facility and any refinancings of such facility that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Each of the Partners executed a pledge of all of its partnership interests in the Partnership to secure the Notes, which
is junior to a pledge of such partnership interests to secure the Partnerships obligations on the Credit Facility and any refinancings of such facility that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The Notes mature on March 1,
2012 and bear interest at the rate of 101/8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and
September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2002.

The Notes and the Credit Facility contain various restrictive
covenants. The covenants included in the Notes and/or the Credit Facility require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and impose limitations on the ability of the Partnership, among other things, to incur additional debt or liens, engage in
transactions with affiliates, dispose of property, make distributions to its partners of property or merge, consolidate or sell assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership was not in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility. As
described below, such noncompliance was prospectively waived by an amendment, dated August 12, 2008, to the Credit Facility. As a result of the covenant noncompliance at December 31, 2008, the Partnership is precluded from utilizing the
Credit Facility until it has completed a fiscal quarter as to which it is in compliance with the facilitys covenants (including the financial covenants as though the below-described waiver had not been given). On August 12, 2008, the
Partnership and Bank of America, N.A. executed an additional amendment to the Credit Facility which retroactively waived compliance with the Credit Facilitys financial covenants in respect of the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and
June 30, 2008 and prospectively waives compliance with the Credit Facilitys financial covenants for each subsequent quarter through and including December 31, 2008, provided that no additional credit is extended under the Credit
Facility during a quarter for which the waiver is relied upon. The Partnerships inability to satisfy the covenant ratios in the Credit Facility does not constitute a default under the indenture relating to the Notes. As of December 31,
2008, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants in the indenture relating to the Notes.

On January 28, 2009, the Partnership executed an additional amendment to extend the Credit
Facilitys maturity date for an additional year to March 30, 2010. This amendment also allowed for the unconditional prepayments of the Notes in an amount up to $20,000,000. The aforementioned financial covenants waiver remains in effect
throughout 2009.

In February 2009, the Partnership purchased and retired $17,200,000 principal amount of the Notes. The total purchase
price of the Notes was approximately $11,400,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $5,800,000. The repurchase of the Notes reduced the amount of Notes outstanding to $142,800,000. The transaction was funded by available invested cash reserves.

Note 7. Other Long-term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 8. Related Parties

An affiliate of each of the Partners owns and operates a casino attached and adjacent to Silver Legacy. Our Partners may be deemed to be in a conflict of interest position with respect to decisions they make relating
to the Partnership as a result of the interests their affiliates have in the Eldorado Hotel & Casino and Circus Circus Hotel & Casino-Reno, respectively.

The Partnership believes that all of the transactions mentioned below are on terms at least as favorable to the Partnership as would have been obtained
from an unrelated party.

Silver Legacy has utilized an aircraft owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (REI), for the purpose
of providing air service to select customers. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership paid $33,880, $28,100 and $38,600, respectively, for such services. Although there is no agreement obligating the Partnership
to utilize the plane or entitling it to do so, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to utilize this service from time to time in the future on terms mutually acceptable to the parties. REI, which owns 55% of ELLC, is owned by various
members of the Carano family, including Gary L. Carano, Silver Legacys General Manager, Glenn T. Carano, Silver Legacys Executive Director of Marketing, and Gene R. Carano, a member of the Partnerships Executive Committee, each of
whom owns an approximately 10.1% beneficial interest in REI, and Donald L. Carano, the father of Gary, Glenn and Gene Carano, who owns an approximately 49.5% interest in REI.

Silver Legacys marketing and sales departments have utilized a yacht owned by Sierra Adventure Equipment Leasing, Inc. (Sierra Leasing)
at a flat rate per trip of $3,000 ($2,000 if the trip was shared with our Partner, ELLC) for various promotional events. The payments made by the Partnership to Sierra Leasing for the use of the yacht totaled $5,000, $61,000 and $13,300 during 2008,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Although there is no agreement obligating the Partnership to utilize the yacht or entitling it to do so, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to utilize this service from time to time in the future on
terms mutually acceptable to the parties. Sierra Leasing is owned by Donald L. Carano, the father of Gary L. Carano, Silver Legacys General Manager, Glenn T. Carano, Silver Legacys Executive Director of Marketing, and Gene R. Carano, a
member of the Partnerships executive committee.

Eldorado Resorts LLC owns the skywalk that connects Silver Legacy with the Eldorado
Hotel & Casino. The charges from the service provider for the utilities associated with this skywalk are billed to the Partnership together with the charges for the utilities associated with Silver Legacy. Such charges are paid to the
service provider by the Partnership, and the Partnership is reimbursed by Eldorado Resorts LLC for the portion of the charges allocable to the utilities provided to the skywalk. The charges for the utilities provided to the skywalk during the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $62,000, $77,200 and $88,500, respectively.

Since 1998, the Partnership has purchased
from Eldorado Resorts LLC homemade pasta and other products for use in the restaurants at Silver Legacy and it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to make similar purchases in the future. For purchases of these products during the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, which are billed to the Partnership at cost plus associated labor, the Partnership paid Eldorado Resorts LLC $45,300, $42,800 and $48,100, respectively.

Beginning in October 2005, the Partnership began providing on-site laundry services for Eldorado Resorts
LLC related to the cleaning of certain types of linens. Although there is no agreement obligating Eldorado Resorts LLC to utilize this service, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue to provide these laundry services in the future. The
Partnership charges Eldorado Resorts LLC for labor and laundry supplies on a per unit basis which totaled $72,300, $53,000 and $51,000 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Partnership believes that the
terms under which the Partnership provided these services were at least as favorable to it as those that would have been obtained in comparable transactions with an unaffiliated third party.

In April 2008, the Partnership and Eldorado Resort LLC began combining certain back-of-the-house and administrative departmental operations, including
purchasing, advertising, information systems, surveillance and engineering, of the Eldorado Hotel & Casino and Silver Legacy in an effort to achieve payroll cost savings synergies at both properties. Payroll costs associated with the
combined operations are shared equally and are billed at cost plus an estimated allocation for related benefits and taxes. During 2008, the Partnership reimbursed Eldorado Resorts LLC $129,200 for the Partnerships allocable portion of the
shared administrative services costs associated with the operations performed at the Eldorado Hotel & Casino, and Eldorado Resorts LLC reimbursed the Partnership $30,100 for Eldorados allocable portion of the shared administrative
services costs associated with the operations performed at Silver Legacy.

In April 2001, the Partnership began utilizing 235 spaces in the
parking garage at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno. The spaces are utilized to provide parking for employees of Silver Legacy. In consideration for its use of the spaces, the Partnership pays Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno rent in the amount
of $5,000 per month. Although there is no agreement obligating the Partnership to continue utilizing the spaces or entitling it to do so, it is anticipated that the Partnership will continue this agreement for the foreseeable future.

Note 9. Employee Retirement Plans

The
Partnership instituted a defined contribution 401(k) plan in September 1995 which covers all employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements and allows an employer contribution up to 25 percent of the first six percent of each
participating employees compensation. Plan participants can elect to defer before tax compensation through payroll deductions. Those deferrals are regulated under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Partnerships
matching contributions were $189,200, $281,700 and $251,300, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for a select group of highly compensated management employees. The SERP provides for a lifetime benefit at age 65, based on
a formula which takes into account a participants highest annual compensation, years of service, and executive level. The SERP also provides an early retirement benefit at age 55 with at least four years of service, a disability provision, and
a lump sum death benefit. The obligation is being funded informally through life insurance contracts on the participants and related cash surrender value. The Partnerships periodic pension costs were $1,022,000, $1,059,000 and $868,000,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Litigation

The Partnership is party to various litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the financial position or the results of
operations of the Partnership.

Sales and Use Tax

In March 2008, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled, in a case involving another casino company, that food and non-alcoholic beverages purchased for the use in providing complimentary meals to customers and to employees
were exempt from sales and use tax. The Partnership had previously paid use tax on these items and has generally filed for refunds from the periods from February 2000 to February 2008 related to this matter. The aggregate amount for which a refund
claim is pending is approximately $1.5 million.

The Nevada Department of Taxation (the Department) filed a petition for
rehearing, which the Nevada Supreme Court announced in July 2008 it would not grant. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership had not recorded income related to this matter because the refund claims are subject to audit and it is unclear
whether the Department will pursue alternative legal theories in connection with certain issues raised in the Supreme Court case in any audit of the refund claims. However, the Partnership is claiming the exemption on sales and use tax returns
for periods after February 2008 in light of the Nevada Supreme Court decision.

Note 11. Partnership Agreement

Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes on March 5, 2002, the Partnerships original partnership agreement was amended and restated in its
entirety and was further amended in April 2002 (the New Partnership Agreement). The New Partnership Agreement provides for, among other items, profits and losses to be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their percentage
interests, separate capital accounts to be maintained for each Partner, provisions for management of the Partnership and payment of distributions and bankruptcy and/or dissolution of the Partnership. The April 2002 amendments were principally
(i) to provide equal voting rights for ELLC and Galleon with respect to approval of the partnerships annual business plan and the appointment and compensation of the general manager, and (ii) to give each Partner the right to
terminate the general manager. In conjunction with issuance of the Notes, a $2,100,000 distribution was paid to Galleon representing the remaining Priority Allocation payment to MRG pursuant to the Partnerships original partnership agreement
and a special distribution was paid to ELLC and Galleon of $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, respectively.

Total distributions for the year
ended December 31, 2008 totaled $10,000,000 and included a distribution of $5,000,000 each to ELLC and Galleon representing a special distribution approved by the Partnerships executive committee. No tax distributions of the Partnership
to its partners were made in 2008 and are not anticipated to be owed based on the expected final 2008 tax return. Total distributions for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $4,526,000 and included a distribution of $2,263,000 each to ELLC
and Galleon representing fiscal 2007 tax distributions. Total distributions for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $3,232,000 and included a distribution of $1,616,000 each to ELLC and Galleon representing fiscal 2006 tax distributions.
