Overview

Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, a Nevada general partnership which is a joint venture between Eldorado Limited Liability Company and
Galleon, Inc., owns and operates the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, a nineteenth century silver mining themed hotel-casino and entertainment complex in Reno, Nevada. Eldorado Limited Liability Company is a 96% owned subsidiary of Eldorado Resorts LLC,
which owns the Eldorado Hotel & Casino, one of the two hotel casinos connected to Silver Legacy, and Galleon, Inc., the managing partner of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, is a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE, which owns Circus
Circus Hotel and Casino, the other hotel casino which is connected to Silver Legacy.

On April 25, 2005, a wholly owned
subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE was merged with and into Mandalay Resort Group, a Nevada corporation (Mandalay), which owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Galleon, Inc. As a result of the merger, Mandalay became a wholly
owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE.

The terms we, our and us, as used in
this annual report, refer to Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture and Silver Legacy Capital Corp, as a combined entity, except where it is clear that the terms mean only Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture or Silver Legacy Capital Corp. When we use the
term Partnership it refers only to Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, and when we use the term Capital it refers only to Silver Legacy Capital Corp. Capital was established solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of
$160 million principal amount 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. The term Silver Legacy refers to the Silver Legacy Resort Casino. References to the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino
refer to the hotel-casino by that name located in Reno, Nevada. When we use the term Reno market we are referring to the Reno and Sparks areas as delineated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Silver Legacy

We own and
operate the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, a premier themed hotel-casino and entertainment complex designed based on Nevadas rich mining heritage, located in Reno, Nevada. Silver Legacy is among the largest hotel-casinos in the Reno market.
Silver Legacy offers a dynamic gaming environment and a wide variety of amenities delivered with special attention to personal service to appeal to our multiple customer segments, including preferred casino players.

Silver Legacy opened in July 1995, with a capital investment of over $360 million, and is strategically located on two city blocks in
downtown Reno directly off Interstate 80, the principal highway connecting Reno with San Francisco, Sacramento and other cities in northern California. The casino and entertainment areas at Silver Legacy are seamlessly connected to the Eldorado
Hotel & Casino and the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino by approximately 200-foot wide skyway corridors. Together the three properties comprise the heart of Renos gaming area and room base.

Silver Legacy has approximately 87,300 square feet of gaming space situated on two levels. At December 31, 2009,
Silver Legacy featured 1,506 slot machines and 63 table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette, Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride®, Baccarat and Pai Gow, in addition to keno, PokerPro, and a race and sportsbook. Club Legacy, Silver Legacys players club, offers customers exciting
special events and tournaments and convenient ways of earning complimentaries.

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. An enclosed, climate controlled skywalk over North Sierra Street links the hotel to the main casino, restaurants and
additional public areas on the mezzanine level. The hotel currently offers 1,709 guest rooms, including 141 player spa suites, eight penthouse suites, and seven hospitality suites.

Silver Legacys dining options are offered in six venues:



| |  |  | Sterlings Seafood Steakhouse, which has a seating capacity of approximately 170, offering the finest in steaks and seafood along with an
extensive wine list, tableside desserts and an extravagant Sunday Brunch;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Flavors! The Buffet, which has a seating capacity of approximately 500;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fairchilds Oyster Bar, which has a seating capacity of approximately 55, offering a comfortable drink and specialized seafood dining;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Café Sedona, which has a seating capacity of approximately 330, offering an extensive menu that includes American classics and Chinese
cuisine 24-hours a day;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fresh Express Food Court, which has a seating capacity of approximately 110, offering a range of options including a deli and grill, authentic
Asian cuisine and American classics; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| |  |  | Sips Coffee House, situated in the hotel lobby, offering gourmet coffee and teas.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silver Legacy is downtown Renos leading convention destination, currently offering approximately 50,000 square feet of in-house
exhibit and convention space that includes an approximately 20,000 square-foot divisible ballroom and approximately 30,000 square feet of space for additional breakout rooms, all located within the casino complex. We believe the additional hotel
capacity and meeting space available at the adjoining Eldorado and Circus properties enhance our ability to attract conventions larger than those that can be serviced by the Silver Legacy alone. See Adjoining Properties below.

In addition to our in-house exhibit and convention space, we had since 1999 utilized an additional 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 then owned by our affiliates. The City Center Pavilion was removed in January 2007 to allow for the construction of a
city-owned ballroom facility on the plaza site, which our affiliates contributed to the City of Reno. The 50,000 square-foot facility, which opened in February 2008 and is operated and managed by Silver Legacy, together with Eldorado and Circus,
complements the existing Reno Events Center and provides an elegant venue for large dinner functions and convention meeting space along with concert seating for approximately 3,000 attendees.

Silver Legacys amenities also include retail shops, exercise and spa facilities, a beauty salon, and an outdoor swimming pool and
sundeck. Silver Legacys 10-story parking facility is capable of accommodating approximately 1,800 vehicles.

We
carefully target our marketing programs to five segments of the gaming market:



| |  |  | free and independent travelers,
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | preferred casino customers,
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | convention groups,
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | local patrons, and
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | wholesale/specialty and Internet groups.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

We attract our target customers through newspaper, radio, television, Internet and direct mail campaigns locally and in northern California, the Pacific northwest and other regional travel markets. Silver
Legacy utilizes a broad special events calendar, along with our guest development program, including selective casino credit, to attract and retain our target customers. In addition, we utilize our hotel rooms, restaurants and other amenities to
offer complimentaries to a broad spectrum of established casino guests. Club Legacy, Silver Legacys players club, offers customers exciting special events and tournaments and convenient ways of earning and redeeming
complimentaries. The convention groups and wholesale/specialty market segments contribute to our hotel occupancy during slower mid-week periods. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our average occupancy rates were 67.7% and
70.2%, respectively, compared to 64.7% and 66.6%, respectively, for the Reno market (according to the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority).

The primary source of our revenues is the casino, although the hotel, restaurants, bars, shops and other services are an important adjunct to the casino. The following table sets forth the respective
contributions to our net revenues on a dollar and percentage basis of our major activities at Silver Legacy for each of the three most recent fiscal years.

Methods of Competition

Silver Legacy competes for customers by offering our guests a fully integrated gaming, lodging, dining and entertainment experience in a convenient downtown Reno location. We believe the quality of our
amenities, Silver Legacys overall atmosphere and competitive pricing enable us to attract multiple customer segments from the local area, northern California, the Pacific northwest and other regional travel markets.

Premier Must See Attraction. We believe Silver Legacy is a must see attraction for Reno visitors and
residents. The propertys design is inspired by Nevadas rich mining heritage and the legend of Sam Fairchild, a fictitious silver baron who struck it rich on the site of the casino. Silver Legacys interior showcases a
casino built around Sam Fairchilds famed 120-foot tall mining rig. 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 enter the casino.

Center of Three-Property Destination
Resort. Silver Legacy, together with the Eldorado and Circus properties, comprises the heart of the Reno markets prime gaming area and room base, providing the most extensive variety of gaming, lodging, dining and entertainment
amenities in the Reno area. As of December 31, 2009, the three-property complex offered 4,096 rooms, 20 restaurants, 3,778 slot machines, 143 table games and parking to accommodate approximately 6,100 vehicles, representing approximately 25.4%
of the Reno markets total room base, 23.4% of the Reno markets total slot machines, and 31.8% of the Reno markets total table games. We believe that the centralized location and critical mass of these three properties, together
with the seamless connections between the facilities, provide Silver Legacy with significant advantages over other freestanding hotel-casinos in the Reno market.

Headliner Entertainment and Premium Dining. Our customers are attracted to Silver Legacys entertainment and award-winning cuisine. For the year ended December 31, 2009,
approximately 40 nights of headliner entertainment were scheduled in our 1,600-seat Grande Exposition Hall making Silver Legacy a leading headliner entertainment venue in the Reno market. Entertainers who appeared at Silver Legacy during 2009
included 3 Doors Down, Rodney Carrington, The Doobie Brothers, Dwight Yoakam, Moody Blues, Wanda Sykes, and Carlos Mencia. Silver Legacy also features Catch a Rising Star, a 220-seat, nationally recognized comedy club. Throughout 2009, we also
utilized the city-owned Reno Events Center as a venue for nine nights of entertainment which we co-sponsored or produced with one or more other downtown properties. We were able to take advantage of this facilitys larger seating capacity and
attract popular headliner acts including Rob Thomas, Kelly Clarkson, Il Divo, Motley Crue and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In addition to the Grande Exposition Hall and the Reno Events Center, Silver Legacy co-sponsored or produced nine nights of
entertainment in the Reno Ballroom which offers seating for approximately 3,000 attendees. Reno Ballroom entertainers included Staind and Tom Jones.

Quality Personal Service. We are committed to providing our customers with a high level of personal service, which we believe is an integral part of fostering customer loyalty and generating
repeat business. We continually strive to instill in each employee a dedication to superior service designed to exceed our guests expectations.

Experienced Management Team. Silver Legacy has an experienced management team with an average of more than 25 years each of experience in the Reno gaming market. All of our senior management
have been with Silver Legacy since it opened in July 1995. We have also benefited from the expertise of our joint venture partners and the leadership they have provided through our executive committee, which has included senior executives from
Eldorado Resorts LLC and MGM MIRAGE.

Adjoining Properties

Enclosed, climate controlled corridors connect Silver Legacy with the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino and the Eldorado Hotel &
Casino, each of which is owned and independently operated by an affiliate of one of the Partnerships partners.

Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. The Circus Circus Hotel and Casino features 1,572 guestrooms and a 70,000 square-foot casino, which, as of December 31, 2009, featured 923 slot machines and 35 table games. The property
offers its guests a variety of circus acts performed daily, free of charge, under a Big Top above the casino. A mezzanine area has a circus midway with carnival-style games and an arcade that offers a variety of amusement and electronic
games. The property features three specialty restaurants, The Steakhouse at Circus, Kokopellis Sushi Bar, and Smokin Geckos BBQ, in addition to a 464-seat buffet, coffee shop, deli/bakery, fast food snack bar, cocktail lounges,
gift shop, specialty shops, parking facilities for approximately 3,200 vehicles, and approximately 37,000 square feet of convention space.

Eldorado Hotel & Casino. This property is a luxurious hotel-casino offering approximately 76,500 square feet of gaming space. Its three hotel towers have a total of 815 guestrooms,
including 17 specialty suites, 93 Eldorado Players Spa Suites with bedside spas and 26 one or two bedroom suites. As of December 31, 2009, this propertys casino featured 1,349 slot machines and 45 table games, as well as
poker, keno and a race and sports book. The property is renowned for its seven restaurants, including Bistro Roxy, La Strada and a 340-seat buffet. Additional amenities include a casino cabaret, bars and lounges, parking facilities for approximately
1,100 vehicles, and approximately 12,400 square feet of convention space.

Reno Market

Reno is the second largest metropolitan area in Nevada, with a population of 428,000 according to the most recently available 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. Management believes that approximately two-thirds of visitors to the Reno market arrive by some form of ground transportation. Popular special events include the National Championship Air Races, the
Reno-Tahoe Open PGA tour event and Hot August Nights, a vintage car event. In addition, the National Bowling Stadium, located one block from Silver Legacy, is one of the largest bowling complexes in North America and has been selected to host
multi-month tournaments in Reno two out of every three years through 2018. Through a one-time agreement, the National Bowling Stadium also will host multi-month bowling tournaments in 2011, usually an off-year for Reno.

According to the Nevada Commission on Tourism and the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority, the greater Reno area attracted
an estimated 4.4 million and 4.8 million visitors during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The following table sets forth certain statistical information for the Reno market for the years 2005 through 2009
as reported by the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority, the Nevada Commission on Tourism and the Nevada State Gaming Control Board.

Marketing Strategy

We target the following customer segments of the Reno
gaming market: free and independent travelers, preferred casino customers, convention groups, local patrons, wholesale/specialty and Internet groups.

Free and Independent Travelers. This customer segment consists of persons who are not affiliated with travel groups and who make arrangements for their accommodations directly or through
independent travel agents. For Reno, free and independent travelers consist principally of persons who typically travel on weekends from northern California, Oregon, Washington and western Canada. Silver Legacy targets this segment through
advertising efforts, including television and newsprint exposure, emphasizing the exciting atmosphere and high level of relative value offered at Silver Legacy. Advertising efforts are directed principally to existing Reno gaming customers, as well
as to experienced gaming customers of Las Vegas and other markets. Additionally, utilizing the unique theming of Silver Legacy, the variety, quality, and attractive pricing of its food and beverage outlets, and its close proximity to other hotel
casinos in downtown Reno (including its connection with the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino and Eldorado Hotel & Casino), we target walk-in customers for Silver Legacy.

Preferred Casino Customers. Management targets valued gaming customers through an aggressive development program. This program
utilizes independent sales representatives to engage in one-on-one sales activities and marketing personnel trained to identify and target these individuals while they patronize Silver Legacy. We also use television advertisements featuring the
elegant image and exciting atmosphere at Silver Legacy to target preferred gaming customers. In addition, through specialized entertainment programs and special events, including boxing matches, and by highlighting Silver Legacys player spa
suites, penthouse suites (which have been designed specifically to cater to the needs of high end gaming customers), hospitality suites, and the propertys entertainment facilities, amenities and unique attractions, we seek to capture a
significant portion of Renos valued gaming business. Our marketing efforts for gaming customers include the provision of complimentary rooms, food and beverages, air transportation and the extension of credit to qualified persons. Club
Legacy, Silver Legacys players club, offers customers exciting special events and tournaments and convenient ways of earning complimentaries.

Convention Groups. Conventioneers and attendees of Reno area events are targeted by Silver Legacy, depending on managements view of their relative propensity for gaming and the timing of
the specific events or conventions relative to the



4



---

historic seasonality of the gaming business in Reno. In so doing, we seek to increase Silver Legacys mid-week occupancies and mitigate the effects of seasonality on our operations. For
example, Silver Legacy targets competitors at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno and their guests. Other special events groups, generally consisting of between 1,000 and 1,500 persons, are also targeted by Silver Legacy by invitations to concerts,
shows, theme parties, boxing matches and other events.

Local Patrons. We seek to attract and retain local
customers through frequent promotions that highlight our quality gaming and dining experience, as well as being an active supporter of numerous Reno market events and organizations.

Wholesale/Specialty and Internet Groups. The wholesale/specialty segment consists of customers who utilize packages
to reduce the cost of travel, lodging and entertainment. These packages are produced by wholesalers (such as major airlines) and travel agents, and emphasize mid-week stays. This market segment allows us to utilize our rooms during slower mid-week
periods. In addition, Internet customers, which are encompassed in this segment, continues to be a growing group as more customers utilize this option for its convenience and in an effort to obtain the most competitive rate.

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 we do. 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 our markets or changes to
gaming laws in states surrounding Nevada could increase competition and could adversely affect our operations. We also compete, 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.

Of the 30 casinos currently operating in the Reno market, we compete principally with the six other hotel-casinos that, like Silver Legacy, each generates at least $36 million in annual gaming revenues.
At this time, we 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. We expect 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 our financial condition or results of operations.

We also compete with hotel-casinos located in the nearby Lake Tahoe region as well as those in other areas of Nevada, including Las Vegas. A
substantial number of customers travel to both Reno and the Lake Tahoe area during their visits. Consequently, we believe that Silver Legacys success is influenced to some degree by the success of the Lake Tahoe market. While the number of
visitors decreased approximately 8.4% in the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared with the same prior year period, we believe the decline was due to the current recession and we do 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 our operations.

Land-based, riverboat or dockside casino gaming (other than that conducted on Native American-owned land) is currently legal in 13 states and tribal gaming on Native American-owned land is legal in a
number of states, including California, Washington, and Oregon. 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. According to the California Gambling Control Commission, there are currently approximately 104 federally recognized Native American tribes in
California, of which approximately 67 have entered into compacts with the State of California. We believe that currently there are 58 Native American casinos in operation in 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 one reservation. However, 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 such limits 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 which have been executed and approved.

---

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 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 was subsequently approved 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 2,100 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.

Based on a United States District Court ruling and
court order, in October 2009, the California Gambling Control Commission issued licenses for a total of approximately 3,500 additional slot machines to 11 tribes. Of these licenses, a majority were issued to tribes in Northern and Central
California. This new issuance of slot machine licenses resulted from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejection of the states request to delay a federal judges ruling regarding the legality of the imposed limitation on the number
of slot machines tribes that signed gaming compacts in 1999 are allowed to operate. The Governor of California has appealed the judges decision and the case is expected to be heard in 2010.

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.

Seasonality

Silver Legacys hotel-casino operations 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 and can also occur due to the timing of large conventions and bowling tournament periods within specific years. The following table shows our percentage of gross revenues by quarter for each of
2009, 2008 and 2007.



|               |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |

|               |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |  

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, Silver Legacy employed approximately 1,800 persons, most of whom were full-time. Currently, none of our employees are employed pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement.
The number of people employed at any time is subject to seasonal fluctuation. We believe that our employee relations are excellent.

Environmental Matters

As is the case with any owner or operator of real property, we are 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. We do not have environmental liability insurance to cover
these events.

During the excavation for construction of Silver Legacy, petroleum contamination of soil and groundwater was
discovered on the property. The apparent sources of this contamination were a former gasoline station and numerous abandoned heating oil tanks. Our contractors removed and disposed of contaminated soils, and we were successful in obtaining



6



---

reimbursement and indemnification from Chevron Company USA. In addition, we received reimbursement from the State of Nevada Petroleum Fund, which was established to reimburse parties for costs
incurred in cleaning up contamination from certain underground storage tanks. With the consent of the relevant county agency, the cleanup was completed leaving some contaminated soils in place (under structures and roads, for example), so that some
additional soil contamination is known to remain in place. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection has not, however, required us to conduct any further investigation or remediation.

Groundwater in the vicinity of the Silver Legacy property is also contaminated by a chlorinated solvent known as tetrachloroethene 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 Silver Legacy is currently $235, plus an additional sum based on the
amount of water used, which in our most recent annual assessment amounted to $19,654. Such amounts incurred in 2008 and 2007 were $268 and $23,596 and $229 and $29,777, respectively. 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. We do not believe that we have contributed to this solvent contamination, however, we
expect that we will be required to allow the Central Truckee Meadows Remediation District access to our property for continued investigation, including access to monitoring wells.

The possibility exists that additional contamination, as yet unknown, may exist at the Silver Legacy property. In all cases, however, we
believe 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 our actions or operations. We do not believe that our expenditures for environmental
investigations or remediation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Aside from the assessments discussed in the preceding paragraph, we did not incur any costs in connection with environmental
matters during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Regulation And Licensing

Silver Legacy, the partners of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, and their parent entities are subject to extensive regulation under laws,
rules and supervisory procedures primarily in the jurisdictions where their facilities are located or docked. Some jurisdictions, including Nevada, empower their regulators to investigate participation by licensees in gaming outside their
jurisdiction and require access to and 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 we, our partners or their parent entities have operations and under our
organizational documents certain of our securities are subject to restrictions on ownership which may be imposed by specified governmental authorities. The restrictions may require a holder of our securities to dispose of the securities or, if the
holder refuses, or is unable, to dispose of the securities, we may be required to repurchase the securities.

The indenture governing our 101/8%
mortgage notes due 2012 (the Notes) provides that each holder and beneficial owner of the Notes, by accepting or otherwise acquiring an interest in any of the Notes, will be deemed to have agreed that if the gaming authority of any
jurisdiction in which we or either of the Partnerships partners or their respective parents or other affiliated entities currently or in the future conduct or propose to conduct gaming requires that a person who is a holder or beneficial owner
must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, the holder or beneficial owner will apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within the required time period. If the person fails to apply or become
licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable, we will have the right, at our option:



| |  |  | to require the person to dispose of his or her Notes or beneficial interest in the Notes within 30 days of receipt of notice of our election or any
earlier date that the relevant gaming authority may request or prescribe; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to redeem the Notes (possibly within less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if requested or prescribed by the gaming authority) at a
redemption price equal to the lesser of:
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the persons cost;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date or the date of the finding of unsuitability, whichever is
earlier; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other amount required by applicable law or by order of any gaming authority.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will not be responsible for any costs or expenses any holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection
with its application for a license, qualification or finding of suitability.

Nevada Gaming Laws

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in the State of Nevada are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the
regulations promulgated under this Act and various local regulations. Silver Legacys operations are subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and the City of Reno,
which we refer to collectively as the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

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



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



| |  |  | the establishment and maintenance of responsible accounting practices and procedures;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the maintenance of effective controls over the financial practices of licensees, including the establishment of minimum procedures for internal fiscal
affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues, providing reliable record keeping and requiring the filing of periodic reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the prevention of cheating and fraudulent practices; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



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

Changes in these laws, regulations and procedures could have an adverse effect on our gaming operations.

Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture holds all licenses and approvals required to conduct its present gaming operations. The gaming license
requires the periodic payment of fees and taxes and is not transferable. The parent entities of Circus and Eldorado Joint Ventures partners, Eldorado Resorts LLC and MGM MIRAGE, are required to be registered by the Nevada Gaming Commission as,
respectively, a privately owned holding company and as a publicly traded corporation, and are required periodically to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Commission and to furnish any other information that the
Nevada Gaming Commission may require. No person may become a stockholder of, or receive any percentage of profits from, a licensed entity such as Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming
Authorities. Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture and its parent entities have obtained from the Nevada Gaming Authorities the various registrations, findings of suitability, approvals, permits and licenses required in order to engage in gaming
activities in Nevada.

The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to, or
material involvement with us in order to determine whether the individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a gaming licensee. We and our officers, directors and key employees must file applications with the Nevada Gaming
Authorities and may be required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny an application for licensing for any cause which they deem reasonable. 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 for 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 jurisdiction to disapprove a
change in a corporate position.

If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, director or key employee unsuitable
for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a relationship with us, we would have to sever all relationships with that person. In addition, the Nevada Gaming Commission may require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file
appropriate applications. Determinations of suitability or questions pertaining to licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada.

We are required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Commission. Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions must be
reported to, or approved by, the Nevada Gaming Commission.

If the Nevada Gaming Commission determined that we violated the
Nevada Gaming Control Act or any of its regulations, it could limit, condition, suspend or revoke our gaming licenses. In addition, we and the persons involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada Gaming
Control Act or of the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Commission at the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Further, a supervisor could be appointed by the Nevada Gaming Commission to operate Silver Legacy 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 of our gaming licenses and
the appointment of a supervisor could, or revocation of any gaming license would, have a material adverse effect on our gaming operations.

Any beneficial holder of an interest in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture or of any of the
equity securities of any partner of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, or of any interest in the parent entities of Circus and Eldorado Joint Ventures members, regardless of the amount of interest owned or the number of shares held, may be
required to file an application, be investigated, and have that persons suitability as a beneficial holder of an equity interest determined if the Nevada Gaming Commission has reason to believe that the ownership would otherwise be
inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. The applicant must pay all costs of the investigation incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in conducting any investigation.

The partners of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture are required to obtain the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission prior to their
pledge of their interests in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture as collateral for payment of any of our indebtedness. Eldorado Limited Liability Company and Galleon, Inc., the partners of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, obtained the required
approvals of the Nevada Gaming Commission to pledge their interests in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture as collateral for payment of the Notes. However, further approvals of the Nevada Gaming Commission must be obtained by any person, including the
trustee under the Indenture relating to the Notes, before any execution on or transfer of the pledged interests may occur.

Nevada law requires any licensed gaming entity, such as Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture which has one or more classes of securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, to additionally register with the Nevada Gaming Commission as a publicly traded corporation. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of Nevada gaming law, we received the requisite approvals of the Nevada Gaming
Commission to be registered as a publicly traded corporation and to make our public offering of the Notes.

If the beneficial
holder of an interest in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture or in the equity securities of any of Circus and Eldorado Joint Ventures partners, or of any interest in one of the parent entities 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 beneficial owners. The applicant is required to pay all costs of investigation.

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
Gaming Commission or by the Chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, or who refuses or fails to pay the investigative costs incurred by the gaming authorities in connection with the investigation of its application, may be found
unsuitable. The same restrictions apply to a record owner 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 an interest in
Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture or in the voting securities of any of Circus and Eldorado Joint Ventures partners or of the parent entities beyond the period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Gaming Commission may be guilty of a
criminal offense. We will be subject to disciplinary action if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to hold an equity interest or to have any other relationship with us, we:



| |  |  | pay that person any dividend or interest upon any partnership interest or other equity interest;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allow that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right held by that person relating to Silver Legacy;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fail to pursue all lawful efforts to require the unsuitable person to relinquish his interest in Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture or in its voting
securities including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of the interest or voting securities for cash at fair market value.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Nevada Gaming Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any debt security of a licensee or registered corporation to file applications, be investigated, and be found suitable to own the
debt security of the licensee or registered corporation. If a holder of the Notes is required by the Nevada Gaming Commission to be found suitable, the burden of proving qualification to be found suitable as a holder of the Notes is at all times on
the applicant and requires a determination by the Nevada Gaming Commission that the applicant is a person of good character, honesty and integrity. When making this determination, the Nevada Gaming Commission must be satisfied that the applicant is
a person whose prior activities, criminal record (if any), reputation, habits and associations do not pose a threat to the interests of the State of Nevada, or to the effective regulation and control of gaming, or create or enhance the dangers of
unsuitable, unfair, or illegal practices. If the Nevada Gaming Commission determines that a person is unsuitable to own the security, then under the Nevada Gaming Control Act, the licensee or registered corporation can be sanctioned, including the
loss of its approvals, if without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission, it:



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



| |  |  | recognizes any voting right by the unsuitable person in connection with the securities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



9



---

| |  |  | 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 transaction.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our partners and their parent entities are required to maintain current stock ledgers in Nevada which may
be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at any time. If any securities are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. A failure
to make the disclosure may be grounds for finding the record holder unsuitable. We are also required to render maximum assistance in determining the identity of the beneficial owner of any of our voting securities. The Nevada Gaming Commission has
the power to require the stock certificates of any registered corporation to bear a legend indicating that the securities are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act.

We may not make a public offering of our securities without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission if we intend to use the securities or the proceeds from the offering to construct, acquire or
finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for those purposes or for similar transactions.

We must obtain prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission with respect to a change in control through:



| |  |  | merger;
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | consolidation;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | stock or asset acquisitions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | management or consulting agreements; or

| |  |  | any act or conduct by a person whereby the person obtains control of us.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entities seeking to acquire control of a registered corporation must satisfy the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming
Commission with respect to a variety of stringent standards before assuming control of the registered corporation. The Nevada Gaming Commission may also require controlling stockholders, officers, directors and other persons having 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.

The Nevada legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed by management, repurchase of voting securities and corporate defense tactics affecting Nevada gaming licenses, and registered
corporations that are affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to stable and productive corporate gaming. The Nevada Gaming Commission has established a regulatory scheme to ameliorate the potentially adverse effects of these business
practices upon Nevadas gaming industry and to further Nevadas policy to:



| |  |  | assure the financial stability of corporate gaming operators and their affiliates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preserve the beneficial aspects of conducting business in the corporate form; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | promote a neutral environment for the orderly governance of corporate affairs.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Approvals may be required from the Nevada Gaming Commission before we can make exceptional repurchases of voting securities above their
current market price and before a corporate acquisition opposed by management can be consummated. The Nevada Gaming Control Act also requires prior approval of a plan of recapitalization proposed by a registered corporations board of directors
in response to a tender offer made directly to its stockholders for the purpose of acquiring control.

License fees and taxes,
computed in various ways depending on the type of gaming or activity involved, are payable to the State of Nevada and to the counties and cities in which the licensed subsidiaries respective operations are conducted. Depending upon the
particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based upon either:



| |  |  | a percentage of the gross revenues received;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the number of gaming devices operated; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the number of table games operated.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------

A live entertainment tax is also paid by casino operations where entertainment is furnished in connection with the selling or serving of food or refreshments or the selling of merchandise.

Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to be registered, or is under common control with those persons
(collectively, licensees), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming venture outside of Nevada, is



10



---

required to deposit with the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, and thereafter maintain, a revolving fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the expenses of investigation of the Nevada State Gaming
Control Board of the licensees participation in such foreign gaming. The revolving fund is subject to increase or decrease in the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Thereafter, licensees are required to comply with the reporting
requirements imposed by the Nevada Gaming Control Act. A licensee is also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Gaming 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, contracts with or associates with a person in the foreign operation who has been denied a license or finding of suitability in Nevada on the
ground of personal unsuitability.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. We are unable to predict the extent to which these requirements, if extended, might impede or otherwise adversely affect operations of, and/or income from, the other games.

Regulations adopted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Department (FINCEN) and the Nevada gaming
regulatory 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 May 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. In addition to currency transaction reporting requirements, suspicious financial activity is also required
to be reported to FINCEN.

Other Laws And Regulations

The sale of alcoholic beverages at Silver Legacy is 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 our operations.

The Silver Legacy Resort Casino is subject to extensive state and local regulations and, on a periodic basis, must obtain various licenses
and permits, including those required to sell alcoholic beverages. We believe that we have obtained all required licenses and permits and that our business is conducted in substantial compliance with applicable laws.

---

Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this annual report and in any other public
statements we make 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 annual report, such as government regulation and the
competitive environment, will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. However, any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. The following risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business
include factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed below could also adversely affect us. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.



| |  |  | As described under Competition, in this Item 1, we operate in a very competitive environment. The growth in the number of hotel rooms
and/or casino capacity in Reno 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 Gaming Laws in this Item 1, Silver Legacys gaming operations are highly regulated by governmental
authorities in Nevada, and our 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 our operations.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our operations are particularly sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending and are affected by changes in general economic and market
conditions nationally, such as the recession currently impacting the national economy, as well as the general economic and market conditions in the Reno area where our operations are conducted and in those areas where our customers live, including
California.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Current and future economic and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance our indebtedness.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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 our operations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | Because all of our operations are in Reno, we are subject to greater risk than a gaming company that is geographically diversified. Any economic,
weather or other conditions that adversely impact gaming operations in the Reno area will impact Silver Legacy where all of our operations are conducted.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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 we pay. From time to time, Nevada and federal legislators and officials have proposed a variety of changes in tax laws, or in the administration of the laws that could impact our operations, including proposals
for a federal gaming tax.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | There is intense competition to attract and retain management and key employees in the gaming industry. Our business could be adversely affected in the
event of our inability to recruit or retain key personnel.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The
following is a discussion of certain factors that currently impact or may impact our business, operating results and/or financial condition.

Risks Related to our Business

We face substantial competition in the hotel and casino industry.

The hotel and casino industry is very competitive. We compete for customers primarily on the basis of location, range and pricing of
amenities and overall atmosphere. Of the 30 casinos currently operating in the Reno market, we compete principally with the six other hotel-casinos that, like the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, each generate at least $36 million in annual gaining
revenues.



12



---

According to statistics published by the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors
Authority, there were approximately 16,100 hotel rooms in the Reno area at December 31, 2009. At this time, we 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. There can be no assurance that any growth in Renos room base or gaming capacity will not adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. See Competition in Item 1.

A substantial number of customers travel to both Reno and Lake Tahoe during their visits. Consequently, we believe that the
Reno markets visitation is influenced, to some degree, by the visitation of the Lake Tahoe market. While the number of visitors decreased approximately 8.4% in the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared with the same prior year
period, we believe the decline was due to the current recession and we do 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 our
operations.

Reno casinos, including our own, also compete with Native American gaming in California and the northwestern
United States. We also compete with hotel-casinos located in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area. To a lesser extent, we compete with hotel-casinos in other parts of the United States and with dockside gaming facilities, riverboat casinos,
state-sponsored lotteries, on-and-off track pari-mutuel wagering, Internet gaming, card clubs, riverboat casinos and other forms of legalized gaming. Land-based, dockside or riverboat casino gaming, other than that conducted on Native American-owned
land, is currently legal in 13 states and gaming on Native American-owned land is legal in a number of states, including California, Washington and Oregon.

Management believes the Reno market draws over 50% of its visitors from California. California allows other non-casino style gaming, including pari-mutuel wagering, a state-sponsored lottery, card clubs,
bingo and off-track betting. Certain constituencies have proposed ballot initiatives from time to time in California that would legalize casino-style gaming generally. As a result, there can be no assurance that casino-style gaming in California
will not be expanded beyond the currently legal Native American gaming. Any such expansion could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The competitive impact on Nevada gaming establishments, in general, and our operations, in particular, from the continued growth of gaming outside Nevada cannot be determined at this time. We believe that
the further expansion of casino gaming in markets close to Nevada, such as California, and to a lesser extent Washington and Oregon, could have a material adverse affect on our operations depending on the nature, location and scope of those
operations.

Native American gaming in California has adversely affected the Reno market, in general, and our operations, in particular and
the continued growth of Native American gaming in California could have a material adverse effect beyond that experienced to date

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 growth
of Native American gaming which has involved the opening of a number of Native American gaming facilities in California. According to the California Gambling Control Commission, there are currently approximately 104 federally recognized Native
American tribes in California, of which approximately 67 have entered into compacts with the State of California. We believe that currently there are 58 Native American casinos in operation in 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 one reservation. However, 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 such limits 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 which have been executed and approved.

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 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 was subsequently approved 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



13



---

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 2,100 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.

Based on a United States District Court ruling and court order, in October 2009, the
California Gambling Control Commission issued licenses for a total of approximately 3,500 additional slot machines to 11 tribes. Of these licenses, a majority were issued to tribes in northern and central California. This new issuance of slot
machine licenses resulted from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejection of the states request to delay a federal judges ruling regarding the legality of the imposed limitation on the number of slot machines tribes that signed
gaming compacts in 1999 are allowed to operate. The Governor of California has appealed the judges decision and the case is expected to be heard in 2010.

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

Our operations are particularly
sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending and may be negatively affected by general economic conditions.

Consumer demand for casino hotel properties, such as ours, is particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the associated impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities. Any adverse change in general economic conditions,
such as the current recession, can adversely affect consumer spending, which can have a negative impact on our ability to generate revenues from our operations. Increases in gasoline prices can adversely affect our operations because most of our
patrons travel to Reno by car or on airlines that may pass on increases in fuel costs to their passengers in the form of higher ticket prices. We are a large consumer of electricity. Consequently, an increase in the cost of electric power increases
our operating costs and, depending on the extent of any increase, could adversely affect our results of operations.

The
current national economic downturn, including the housing crisis, credit crisis, lower consumer confidence, and other related factors which impact discretionary consumer spending, have resulted in a decline in the tourism industry that has adversely
impacted our operations. We cannot be sure how long these factors will continue to impact our operations in the future or the extent of the impact.

Current and future economic and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance our indebtedness.

Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash flow in the future. If adverse regional and national economic conditions persist, worsen, or
fail to improve, we could experience decreased revenues from our operations attributable to decreases in consumer spending levels and could fail to generate sufficient cash to fund our liquidity needs. We have a significant amount of indebtedness,
evidenced by our 101/8% mortgage notes, maturing in
2012. Our ability to timely refinance and replace such indebtedness will depend upon our ability to access the credit markets, which will depend, in part, on the condition of the credit markets at that time. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to refinance the 101/8% mortgage notes at
maturity, or, if we are able to do so, what the terms of such refinancing will be.

Our substantial
indebtedness could adversely affect our financial results and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations, including our obligations under our 101/8% mortgage notes.

The amount of our total indebtedness at December 31, 2009 was $142.8 million.

This is a significant amount of indebtedness that could have important consequences for us, such as:



| |  |  | limiting our ability to satisfy our obligations, including our obligations under our 101/8% mortgage notes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, general corporate or
other obligations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a significant portion of these funds to make
principal and/or interest payments on our indebtedness;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | causing our failure to comply with the financial and restrictive covenants contained in the indenture covering our 101/8% mortgage notes or any new credit facility we may secure, which
could cause a default under those instruments and which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors who are not as highly leveraged; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---

| |  |  | increasing our vulnerability to, and limiting our ability to react to, changing market conditions, changes in our industry and economic downturns such
as the one we are currently experiencing.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The indenture governing our 101/8% mortgage notes contains restrictive covenants, but does not fully prohibit us from incurring additional debt under any new credit facility we may secure or otherwise.
If additional debt is added to our current level of indebtedness, related risks that we face could increase.

If we do not generate sufficient cash from our operations to make scheduled payments on our 101/8% mortgage notes or to meet our other obligations, we will need to take one or more actions, including the refinancing of our debt, obtaining additional
financing, selling assets, obtaining additional equity capital, or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, and our ability to take one or more of these actions may be limited by the restrictive covenants contained in the indenture governing our
101/8% mortgage notes or the financial and other
restrictive covenants in any new credit facility we may secure. We cannot assure that our business will continue to generate cash flow or that we will be able to obtain funding sufficient to satisfy our debt service requirements.

The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain transactions.

The indenture governing our 101/8% mortgage notes imposes operating and financial restrictions on us.
The restrictions imposed under the indenture include, among other things, limitations on our ability to:



| |  |  | incur additional debt;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | create liens or other encumbrances;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | pay dividends or make other restricted payments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prepay subordinated indebtedness;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | make investments, loans or guarantees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | sell or otherwise dispose of a portion of our assets; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make acquisitions or merge or consolidate with another entity.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, under any new senior secured credit facility we may secure, we may be required to satisfy certain financial covenants,
including maintaining certain debt to earnings and earnings to fixed charges ratios. Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by general economic conditions, industry conditions and other events beyond our control. We cannot
assure that we will be able to comply with these covenants. If we fail to comply with a financial covenant or other restriction contained in the indenture or any future credit facility or other financing agreements, an event of default could occur.
An event of default could result in acceleration of some or all of our indebtedness and the inability to borrow additional funds. We would not have, and are not certain we would be able to obtain, sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness if it is
accelerated, including our payments on the notes.

Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate
sufficient cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and
refinance our indebtedness and to fund our capital expenditures depends upon our ability to generate cash flow and secure financing in the future. Our ability to generate future cash flow depends upon:



| |  |  | our future operating performance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | the demand for services we provide;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | competition; and
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | legislative and regulatory factors affecting our operations and business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of these factors are beyond our control.

We cannot assure that our business will generate cash flow from operations or that we will be able to borrow an amount
sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including our 101/8% mortgage notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. As a result, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including our 101/8% mortgage notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure that we
will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flow or refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Because we are entirely dependent upon the Silver Legacy Resort Casino for all of our cash flow, we are
subject to greater risks than a gaming company that is geographically or otherwise diversified.

We are entirely dependent
upon the Silver Legacy Resort Casino for all of our cash flow. Therefore, we are subject to greater degrees of risk than a gaming company that is geographically or otherwise diverse. The risks to which we have a greater degree of exposure include
the following:



| |  |  | local economic and competitive conditions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inaccessibility due to weather conditions, road construction or closure of primary access routes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in local and state governmental laws and regulations, including gaming laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural and other disasters;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | a decline in the number of residents near, or visitors to, the Silver Legacy Resort Casino; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a decrease in gaming activities at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Any of the factors outlined above could adversely affect our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make payments
on our 101/8% mortgage notes or with respect to our
other obligations.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 adversely impacted our operations and any security alerts
and/or similar attacks that may occur in the future could have a material adverse effect on our future operations.

The
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C. which occurred on September 11, 2001 had a pronounced impact on our operating results during the weeks immediately following the attacks. We
cannot predict the extent to which any future security alerts and/or additional terrorist attacks such as those that occurred on September 11 might impact our operations.

The hotel-casinos in the Reno market, including the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, are highly dependent on surrounding market areas.

Management believes that visitors from California, Washington and Oregon account for approximately two thirds of the visitors to the Reno
market. We are primarily dependent upon the gaming activities of customers visiting the Reno market from these areas for our revenues. A decline in the economies of any one or more of these areas such as the economic decline in each of these states
associated with the current recession, or a decline in the number of gaming customers traveling to Reno from these areas for any reason, including increased competition, such as Native American gaming in California, Washington and Oregon, could have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The hotel-casinos in the Reno market, including the Silver Legacy Resort Casino,
historically have been subject to seasonal variations and quarterly fluctuations in operating results and we can expect to experience such variations and fluctuation in the future.

Historically, hotel-casino operations in the Reno market, including the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, have been subject to seasonal
variations. Traditionally, the strongest operating results have occurred in the third quarter and the weakest results have occurred during the period from November through February when weather conditions have adversely affected operating results.
Excessive snowfall during the winter months can make travel to the Reno area more difficult. This often results in significant declines in traffic on major highways, particularly on routes to and from northern California, and causes a downturn in
customer volume. Furthermore, management believes that approximately two-thirds of visitors to the Reno market arrive by some form of ground transportation. Therefore, even normal winter weather may cause our revenues and cash flows to be adversely
affected.

We expect the highest level of customer visits to occur during the summer months, because of the more favorable
weather conditions. A poor summer season, due to any reason, including events outside our control, would adversely affect our business. Congestion on the roads leading to Reno, common during the peak summer season, holidays and other times, may
discourage potential customers from traveling to our hotel-casino, particularly if road construction is in process. See Seasonality in Item 1.

Significant conflicts of interest may arise in the performance of the duties of the members of our executive committee and our executive officers.

The Silver Legacy Resort Casino is situated between the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, which is wholly owned by MGM MIRAGE, and the Eldorado
Hotel & Casino, which is wholly owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC. Our partners are a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE and a 96%-owned subsidiary of Eldorado Resorts LLC, and their respective personnel who participate in decisions that
affect the Silver Legacy Resort Casino may be deemed to be in a conflict of interest position, to the extent they participate in decisions relating to the Silver Legacy Resort Casino that affect, or may be perceived to affect, the Circus Circus
Hotel and Casino and/or the Eldorado Hotel & Casino. The potential for these conflicts of interest may be exacerbated by the design of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, which connects its casino and core entertainment center with the Circus
and Eldorado properties by enclosed skyways.



16



---

Each member of the executive committee of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture is currently an
employee of, and/or holds an executive position with, MGM MIRAGE or Eldorado Resorts LLC or one of their affiliates, and each of our executive officers had a similar relationship before assuming his present position with Circus and Eldorado Joint
Venture. Accordingly, these individuals may be deemed to be in a conflict of interest position with respect to business decisions they make that affect, or may be perceived to affect, the Circus or Eldorado properties. Furthermore, a conflict of
interest may be deemed to exist by reason of the access any of these individuals has to information or business opportunities that may be useful to the Eldorado or Circus properties. No specific procedures for resolving these conflicts of interest
have been developed and there can be no assurance that effective procedures for addressing these matters can be developed. See Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrants in Item 10 and Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation in Item 11.

Our partnership agreement contains a buy-sell provision which, if exercised by
either of our partners, could adversely affect our management and operations.

Our partnership agreement contains a
buy-sell provision pursuant to which either of our partners may elect to offer to purchase the entire interest of our other partner. If either partner makes such an offer, our partnership agreement requires the other partner to either sell its
partnership interest or purchase the partnership interest of the offering partner, in each case at the price proposed by the offering partner. An election by either of our partners to exercise its buy-sell right, which would result in the buy-out of
one of our partners, could adversely effect the continuity of our management as well as any existing affiliate arrangements and agreements with the partner who had been bought out.

We are subject to extensive state and local regulation, and licensing and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities are subject to extensive state and local regulation. Circus and
Eldorado Joint Venture currently holds all state and local licenses and related approvals necessary to conduct its present gaming operations. Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture is required by the State of Nevada, as well as the applicable local
authorities, to comply with all applicable gaming laws and regulations and to maintain its various licenses and registrations, findings of suitability, permits and approvals in good standing. The gaming authorities in Nevada may deny, limit,
condition, suspend or revoke a gaming license or related approval for violations of applicable gaming laws and regulations and may impose substantial fines and take other actions, any one of which could have a significant adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations. If additional gaming laws or regulations are adopted, these regulations could impose restrictions or costs that could have a significant adverse effect on us. See Regulation and
Licensing in Item 1.

The Nevada Gaming Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder
of any securities that we issue, including our 101/8% mortgage notes, to file applications, be investigated, and be found suitable to own our securities if it has reason to believe that the security ownership would be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. Further,
the costs of any investigation conducted by the Nevada Gaming Commission under these circumstances must be paid by the applicant and refusal or failure to pay these charges may constitute grounds for a finding that the applicant is unsuitable to own
the securities. If the Nevada Gaming Commission determines that a person is unsuitable to own our securities, then, under the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations promulgated under this Act, we can be sanctioned, including the loss of our
approvals, if, without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission, we:



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



| |  |  | recognize any voting right by the unsuitable person in connection with the securities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay the unsuitable person remuneration in any form; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make any payment to the unsuitable person including any principal, redemption, conversion, exchange, liquidation or similar payment.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may not make a public offering of our securities without prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission
if we intend to use the securities or proceeds from the offering to:



| |  |  | construct, acquire or finance gaming properties in Nevada; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | retire or extend obligations incurred for these purposes or for similar transactions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Nevada gaming authorities were to find an officer, director or key employee unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having
a relationship with us, we would have to sever all relationships with that person. Furthermore, the Nevada Gaming Commission may require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications. Either result could
materially adversely affect our gaming operations.

Because we own real property, we are subject to extensive environmental regulation, which creates
uncertainty regarding future environmental expenditures and liabilities.

We have incurred and may continue to incur costs
to comply with environmental requirements, such as those relating to discharges into the air, water and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances. Under these and
other environmental requirements, we, as an owner of the property on which the Silver Legacy Resort Casino is situated, may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at that property. As an owner or
operator, we could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage, personal injury and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by them in connection with the contamination. These laws typically impose
cleanup responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants and the liability under those laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and
there is a reasonable basis for allocation of the responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to remediate a property properly, may
adversely affect our ability to rent or otherwise utilize our property. In addition, environmental requirements address the impacts of development on wetlands.

Petroleum and chlorinated solvent contamination of soil and groundwater is known to exist at and in the vicinity of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino. No action in regard to these contaminants is currently
required of us, however we are required to pay assessments averaging approximately $20,000 annually in contribution to a Washoe County special assessment district which is undertaking community wide remediation of groundwater solvent contamination.
These assessments may increase in the future. State law exempts property owners who did not cause or contribute to the solvent contamination from civil and criminal liability for the cost of remediation and any related damages, except to the extent
of unpaid assessments. This provision would not be effective to shield us from liability under federal laws.

The Silver
Legacy Resort Casino site was previously required to be cleaned up under environmental laws to address petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks and other sources. At the conclusion of that cleanup, with the permission of the
relevant regulatory county authority, certain contaminated soils were permitted to remain in place. The Washoe County District Health Department issued a no further action letter with respect to that cleanup on February 20, 1996.
The possibility exists that additional contamination, as yet unknown, may exist on the Silver Legacy Resort Casino site. Although we believe that any remaining contamination arose from activities of prior owners or occupants, or from offsite sources
and not as a result of any of our actions or operations, we cannot make any assurances that we will not incur expenditures for environmental investigations or remediation in the future. See Environmental Matters in Item 1.

An earthquake could adversely affect our business.

The Reno area has been, and may in the future be, subject to earthquakes. Depending upon its magnitude, an earthquake could severely damage the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, which could adversely affect
our business and operations. We currently maintain earthquake insurance for the Silver Legacy Resort Casino and the resulting business interruption. However, there is no assurance that our coverage will be sufficient if there is a major earthquake.
In addition, upon the expiration of our current policies, which expire in July 2010, we cannot assure that adequate coverage will be available at economically justifiable rates, if at all.

We rely on our key personnel.

Our future success will depend upon, among other things, our ability to keep our senior executives and highly qualified employees. We compete with other potential employers for employees, and we may not succeed in hiring or retaining the
executives and other employees that we need. We do not have employment contracts with any of our senior executives and we do not maintain key-man insurance policies for any of our executives. A sudden loss of or inability to replace key employees
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

We may face difficulties in attracting and
retaining qualified employees for our casino.

The operation of our business requires qualified executives, managers and
skilled employees with gaming industry experience and qualifications who are able to obtain the requisite licenses and approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission. While not currently the case, there has from time to time been a shortage of skilled
labor in the Reno area. In addition to limitations that may otherwise exist in the supply of skilled labor, the continued growth of Native American gaming in northern California may make it more difficult for us to attract qualified individuals.
While we believe that the Silver Legacy Resort Casino will continue to be able to attract and retain qualified employees, shortages of skilled labor will make it increasingly difficult and expensive to attract and retain the services of a
satisfactory number of qualified employees, and we may incur higher costs than expected as a result.

The Silver Legacy Resort Casino is located on two neighboring parcels of land, located at 407 North Virginia Street and 411 North Sierra Street in Reno, Nevada. We own both parcels, comprising 118,167 and 119,927 square feet, respectively.
As of December 31, 2009, both parcels and the improvements located thereon were encumbered by liens securing the indebtedness incurred under our senior credit facility and the indebtedness evidenced by our 101/8% mortgage notes. At December 31, 2009, the aggregate principal
amount of the indebtedness secured by these liens totaled $142.8 million. For information concerning the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, reference is made to the discussion under the caption Silver Legacy in Item 1 of this annual

We are
from time to time involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that any litigation to which the Partnership or Capital is a party or of which any of our property is the subject will, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or the results of our operations.

PART II



|ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, which is owned 50% by Galleon, Inc. and 50% by Eldorado Limited Liability Company.
Accordingly, there is no established public trading in the equity securities of Capital or the Partnership.

The Partnerships partnership agreement, as currently in effect, provides that, subject to any contractual restrictions to which the Partnership is subject, including the indenture relating to our 101/8% mortgage notes, and prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating
Event, the Partnership will be required to make distributions to its partners as follows:

(i) The estimated taxable income of the Partnership 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).

(ii) Annual distributions of remaining
Net Cash From Operations in proportion to the percentage interests of the partners.

(iii) Distributions of Net Cash From Operations in amounts or at times that differ from those described in (i) and (ii) above, provided in each case that both partners agree in writing to the distribution in
advance thereof.

As defined in the partnership agreement, the term Net Cash From Operations means the gross cash
proceeds received by the Partnership, less the following amounts: (i) cash operating expenses and payments of other expenses and obligations of the Partnership, including interest and scheduled principal payments on Partnership indebtedness,
including indebtedness owed to the partners, if any, (ii) all capital expenditures made by the Partnership, and (iii) such reasonable reserves as the partners deem necessary in good faith and in the best interests of the Partnership to
meet its anticipated future obligations and liabilities (less any release of reserves previously established, as similarly determined).

As a general partnership, the Partnership is not subject to Federal income tax liability. Consequently, the holders of the partnership interests in the Partnership are required to include their respective
shares of the Partnerships taxable income (loss) in their own income tax returns. The Partnership has, in the past, made distributions to its partners to cover such tax liabilities in accordance with its partnership agreement. The Partnership
made no tax distribution to its partners in 2008 or 2009 and we do not anticipate any tax distributions with respect to 2009 in 2010 based on our expected final 2009 tax return. A special distribution was approved by the Partnerships executive
committee and paid by the Partnership in March 2008. The aggregate amount of the distribution was $10.0 million, of which $5.0 million was paid to each partner.

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 neither the Partnership nor Capital
issued any equity securities and, during such period, neither the Partnership nor Capital, nor any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) purchased any of the equity securities of
the Partnership or Capital.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

Effective March 1, 1994, Eldorado Limited Liability Company (ELLC), a Nevada limited liability company owned and controlled by Eldorado Resorts LLC, and Galleon, Inc. (Galleon), a Nevada corporation now owned
and controlled by MGM MIRAGE, entered into a joint venture agreement to establish the Partnership for the purpose of constructing, owning and operating Silver Legacy. Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, was incorporated for the
sole purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the $160 million principal amount of 101/8% mortgage notes due 2012 co-issued by the Partnership and Capital, and does not have any operations, assets or revenues.

On July 28, 1995, Silver Legacy commenced operations as a hotel-casino in downtown Reno, Nevada. Silver Legacy is a leader within the
Reno market, offering the largest number of table games and the second largest number of slot machines and hotel rooms of any property in the Reno market. Silver Legacys net operating revenues and income are derived largely from our gaming
activities. In an effort to enhance our gaming revenues, we attempt to maximize the use of our gaming facilities at Silver Legacy by providing a well-balanced casino environment that contains a mix of games attractive to multiple market segments.
Rooms, food and beverage also contribute a large portion of our net revenues.

Our operating results are highly dependent on
the volume of customers visiting and staying at our resort, which in turn impacts the price we can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities. 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.

Significant Factors Affecting Results of Operations

National Economic Condition

The state of the national economy, including the decrease in liquidity in the credit markets, high unemployment, and the weak housing market, continue to influence consumers confidence and discretionary spending. We believe the
weakness and volatility of the economy have had a significant negative impact on the gaming and tourism industries, and as a result, our operating performance during 2009 and 2008. In response to the difficult economic environment, our management
has implemented cost savings measures and will continue to identify opportunities to further reduce expenses and maximize cash flows. We believe the current economic recession will continue to negatively affect our operating results in the future;
however, we are uncertain as to the duration and magnitude of the recessions impact.



21



---

Expansion of Native American Gaming

A significant portion of Silver Legacys revenues and operating income are generated from patrons who are residents of northern
California, and, as such, our results of operations have been adversely impacted by the growth in Native American gaming in northern California. Many existing Native American gaming facilities in northern California are modest compared to Silver
Legacy. However, a number of Native American tribes have established large-scale gaming facilities in California and many 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. As northern California Native American gaming operations have expanded, we believe the increasing competition generated by these gaming operations has negatively impacted principally
drive-in, day-trip visitor traffic from our main feeder markets in northern 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 one reservation. However, 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 such limits 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 which have
been executed and approved.

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 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 was subsequently approved 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 2,100 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.

Based on a United States District Court ruling and
court order, in October 2009, the California Gambling Control Commission issued licenses for a total of approximately 3,500 additional slot machines to 11 tribes. Of these licenses, a majority were issued to tribes in northern and central
California. This new issuance of slot machine licenses resulted from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejection of the states request to delay a federal judges ruling regarding the legality of the imposed limitation on the number
of slot machines tribes that signed gaming compacts in 1999 are allowed to operate. The Governor of California has appealed the judges decision and the case is expected to be heard in 2010.

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.

Bowling Tournaments Within the Reno Market

The National Bowling Stadium, located one block from Silver Legacy,
is one of the largest bowling complexes in North America and has been selected to host multi-month tournaments in Reno two out of every three years through 2018. Through a one-time agreement, the National Bowling Stadium also will host multi-month
bowling tournaments in Reno in 2011, usually an off-year for Reno. Historically, these bowling tournaments have attracted a significant number of visitors to the Reno market and have benefited business in the downtown area, including Silver Legacy.
In 2007, the United States Bowling Congress Open Tournament (the USBC Open Tournament) began in mid-February and continued 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. The absence of a major bowling tournament in 2008 had a negative impact on our operations during the first half of 2008. The USBC Womens Tournament, which attracted approximately
55,000 bowlers to the Reno market in 2006, returned in late March 2009. This tournament continued through the end of June 2009 and brought approximately 40,500 bowlers during the 2009 period. While the traffic generated by this tournament benefited
the Reno market during the second quarter of 2009, the positive impact was not as significant as in previous years due to a decline in bowler attendance combined with general decreases in consumers discretionary spending. The USBC Open
Tournament returns to the Reno market in 2010, beginning in late February and continuing through June.

Revenues. Net revenues decreased during 2009 and 2008 compared to their respective prior years mainly due to the previously discussed economic factors which negatively impacted Renos gaming and tourism market as a whole and resulted
in significant reductions in visitor volumes and customer spending. Declines in city-wide convention room nights and the continued increase in competition generated by Native American gaming in northern California also contributed to the decreases
in net revenues during 2009 and 2008.

Additionally, severe weather during the first quarter of 2008 and the lack of a major
bowling tournament, which has historically benefited all of our revenue segments, had a significant negative impact on our operating results during 2008 compared to the 2007 period during which the USBC Open Tournament drove visitation to downtown
Reno from mid-February through June.

Operating Income and Net Income (Loss).During 2009 and 2008 compared to their
respective prior years, operating income decreased primarily due to declines in departmental revenues. Substantial savings were realized during 2009 and 2008 as a result of cost control measures implemented to lower payroll among all
departments, both in terms of staffing levels and reductions in salaried management positions, benefits, advertising media expenditures, general and administrative expenses and other variable and fixed operating costs. These savings were partially
offset by higher group health insurance claims and increased promotional allowance costs allocated to the casino department, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues. Lower room rates also adversely impacted our operating results and
profit margins in 2009 and 2008 compared to their respective prior years. Depreciation expense rose during 2009 and 2008 due to additional depreciation associated with new capital purchases. The increase in the fair value of life insurance contracts
that informally fund a portion of our supplemental executive retirement plan partially offset the declines in operating income in 2009 compared to 2008; however, the decrease in the fair value of life insurance contracts contributed to the decline
in operating income in 2008 compared to 2007.

Our net loss decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a
$5.5 million gain, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, on the early retirement of $17.2 million principal amount of our 101/8% mortgage notes. Net income decreased in 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of the same factors impacting operating income.

Revenues

The following
table highlights our sources of net revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in thousands):

Casino Revenues.During 2009 compared to 2008, our casino revenues declined due to lower table games drop and slot handle which declined 11.8% and 8.8%, respectively. Historically, the USBC Womens Tournament has attracted more slot players, as compared to
the USBC Open Tournament, and has typically had a greater positive impact on slot volume during



23



---

associated tournament periods. As a result, slot handle benefited during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same prior year period from the increased visitation generated by the USBC
Womens Tournament. However, this positive impact was offset by the decreases in casino volume and revenues during the remaining 2009 periods compared to the same periods in 2008. These decreases in volume were associated with the previously
discussed factors affecting net revenues which negatively impacted the number of trips and spending levels of our customers throughout the current year.

During 2008 compared to 2007, our casino revenues decreased due to lower table games drop and slot handle which declined 10.8% and 14.9%, respectively. We believe the decreases in casino volume and
revenues during 2008 compared to 2007 were associated with the previously discussed factors affecting net revenues.

Room
Revenues.During 2009, our ADR and occupancy percentages were $66.83 and 67.74%, respectively, compared to $75.77 and 70.22%, respectively in 2008. While the USBC Womens Tournament drove hotel occupancy during the second quarter of 2009,
this growth was offset by declines in hotel occupancy during the first, third and fourth quarters of 2009 compared to the same prior year periods. Additionally, our ADR declined throughout 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of efforts to maximize
occupancy levels during slow periods. These decreases in occupancy and ADR resulted from increased competition, both locally and within our feeder markets, along with lower tourism visitor counts and convention room nights associated with the weak
economy.

During 2008, our ADR and occupancy percentages were $75.77 and 70.22%, respectively, compared to $81.04 and
81.9%, respectively in 2007. These declines in ADR and hotel occupancy were primarily due to additional hotel room inventory, the lack of a major bowling tournament in 2008 and a decline in city-wide convention room nights combined with fewer
leisure and wholesale room nights.

Food and Beverage Revenues. Food and beverage revenues declined during 2009
compared to 2008 as a result of decreases in guest counts at a majority of our food outlets which we believe was attributable to the same factors affecting net revenues. Our average restaurant check decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 due to
selective menu pricing revisions in an effort to promote our restaurants and incentivize customers and also contributed to the decline in food and beverage revenues.

Food revenues declined during 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of fewer guest counts which we believe was attributable to the same factors affecting net revenues. Beverage revenues remained flat during
2008 compared to 2007, and benefited from additional cash sales generated by our lounge, Aura, which opened in October 2007.

Other Revenues. Other revenues are comprised of revenues generated by our retail outlets, entertainment, other miscellaneous items, and our share of ballroom revenues. Other revenues decreased during 2009 compared to 2008
principally due to lower entertainment revenues associated with a decline in scheduled concert dates throughout the current year. Ballroom revenues, which were generated by the ballroom facility located across from Silver Legacy on a special events
plaza which was previously owned by our affiliates and donated to the City of Reno in January 2007, declined during 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of fewer conventions utilizing the facility during the current year. The ballroom, which opened in
mid-February 2008, is operated and managed by Silver Legacy together with the adjoining Eldorado and Circus Circus properties. Retail revenues remained flat in 2009 compared to 2008.

Other revenues increased during 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to higher entertainment revenues associated with a more aggressive
concert schedule in 2008, both in terms of the number of concert dates and popularity of the headliner acts, in an effort to enhance the entertainment offering within downtown Reno. Additionally, incremental revenues were generated by the ballroom
facility which opened in February 2008. These increased revenues were partially offset by a decline in retail revenues during 2008 compared to 2007.

Promotional Allowances. Promotional allowances, expressed as a percentage of gross revenues, increased to 12.5% in 2009 compared to 10.6% in 2008 and 8.8% in 2007. This year-over-year growth
was primarily attributable to increases in complimentary rooms, food, concert tickets and retail promotional offers to our casino customers in an effort to drive visitation to Silver Legacy, utilize available room inventory, reward customer loyalty,
and attract new players.

Casino Expenses.Casino expenses declined during 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to decreases in casino payroll, repairs and maintenance, gaming taxes, bad debt expense, special event costs, and the liability associated with unredeemed players club
complimentaries in conjunction with lower casino volume along with efforts to reduce variable expenditures. These decreases were partially offset by increased direct mail costs and promotional allowances related to the cost of rooms, food, beverage
and retail complimentaries allocated to the casino department which rose as a result of an increase in direct mail offers throughout 2009 compared to 2008 to customers within our casino database.

Casino expenses declined during 2008 compared to 2007 mainly due to decreases in casino payroll, gaming taxes and special event expenditures
which were attributable to lower casino volume and cost control measures implemented throughout 2008. These declines were partially offset by a large increase in the cost of rooms, food, retail and concert ticket complimentaries allocated to the
casino department which rose throughout 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of aggressive promotional and direct mail offers to customers within our casino database.

Room Expenses. Room expenses declined during 2009 and 2008 compared to their respective prior years primarily due to decreases in departmental payroll and laundry expense. Despite successful
efforts to reduce costs on a per occupied room basis, the annual profit margins in the rooms department were negatively impacted by declines in our ADR as competition increased for a reduced number of visitors to the Reno market throughout 2009 and
2008 compared to their respective prior years. Lower travel agent commissions resulting from the absence of a major bowling tournament also contributed to the decrease in 2008 compared to 2007.

Food and Beverage Expenses. During 2009 compared to 2008, food and beverage expenses decreased mainly due to declines in food
and beverage costs, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues. Successful cost reduction programs and improved efficiencies enabled the food department to increase its profit margin significantly in 2009 compared to 2008. Beverage
expenses decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 in conjunction with the declines in beverage revenues.

During 2008 compared to
2007, food expenses decreased in conjunction with the decline in restaurant guest counts. During 2008 compared to 2007, the food department was negatively impacted by increased costs of good sold, as a percentage of food revenues, due to rising food
prices which were not passed on to our customers via increased prices in our average restaurant check. However, efforts to lower food payroll and other variable expenses, such as supplies, were successful and helped to offset the growth in our food
cost of sales. Beverage expenses rose during 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of increased beverage cost of sales associated with higher beverage product costs, increased promotional offers associated with our lounge, Aura, and increased beverage
payroll, as a percentage of beverage revenues.

Other Operating Expenses.Other operating expenses are comprised of
expenses associated with the operation of our retail outlets and the ballroom along with the entertainment departments production costs and professional fees. Other operating expenses decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 primarily as a
result of a less aggressive concert schedule. Ballroom expenses decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 due to decreased payroll and supplies as a result of fewer conventions utilizing the facility. Retail expenses remained flat in 2009 compared to
2008.

Other operating expenses increased during 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of a more aggressive concert
schedule and higher fees paid for headliner acts in addition to increases associated with our share of the expenses associated with the ballroom. These increases were partially offset by declines in retail expenses during 2008 compared to 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.During 2009 and 2008 compared to their respective prior years, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to substantial reductions in advertising expenditures, lower payroll among administrative and facilities departments, fewer credit card discounts associated with declining room revenues,
and declines in building repairs and maintenance, professional services and human resources departmental expenditures. Additionally, significant declines in utilities costs and the elimination of bonus accruals also contributed to the decreases
in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decreases in expenses in 2008 compared to 2007 were partially offset by higher gas utilities costs and increased maintenance contracts related to our computer information systems.



25



---

Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense increased during 2009 and 2008
compared to their respective prior years primarily due to additional depreciation associated with new capital purchases.

Change in Fair Value of Life Insurance Contracts. These amounts relate to the change in fair value of life insurance contracts that informally fund a portion of our supplemental executive retirement plan. During 2009, the fair value
of these life insurance contracts increased significantly as compared to the prior years in which their fair value decreased.

Other
(Income) Expense

Other (income) expense is comprised of interest expense and interest income and the
gain on the early retirement of debt. In February 2009, we purchased and retired $17.2 million principal amount of our 101/8% mortgage notes. The total purchase price of the notes was approximately $11.4 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.5 million, net of unamortized
offering costs and discounts. As a result of this transaction, which reduced the principal amount of notes outstanding to $142.8 million, interest expense decreased during 2009 compared to 2008 and interest income decreased due to a decline in our
invested cash reserves subsequent to the purchase of notes and lower interest rates throughout 2009 compared to 2008.

Interest expense remained flat during 2008 compared to 2007. Interest income decreased during 2008 compared to 2007 due to a decline in our invested cash reserves resulting from a $10.0 million partner distribution paid in March 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities and Working Capital

During 2009, we generated cash flows from
operating activities of $6.0 million compared to $12.5 million in 2008 and $21.7 million in 2007. These decreases in cash flows from operating activities were primarily due to the declines in operating income along with various changes in balance
sheet accounts which occurred in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $35.0 million, sufficient for normal operating requirements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing
activities for 2009 was $3.2 million compared to $11.2 million for 2008 and $11.8 million for 2007, and related primarily to capital expenditures for various renovation projects and equipment purchases. The capital expenditures in 2009 were less
than 2008 and 2007 due to the difficult economic environment and decisions to decrease spending. The amounts paid for capital expenditures during 2009 and 2008 included cash payments of $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which represented
payables for property and equipment placed in service in 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, our capital expenditures for 2009 and 2008 included $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for equipment purchases for a city-owned ballroom
facility located across from Silver Legacy on a special events plaza which was previously owned by our affiliates and donated to the City of Reno in January 2007. The ballroom is operated and managed by Silver Legacy together with Eldorado and
Circus Circus Reno. In future years, we expect to make capital expenditures to the extent necessary to continue to maintain an attractive property and a competitive position in our marketplace. Our executive committee has approved $10.6 million in
capital expenditures for 2010 of which $7.5 million is budgeted for our hotel room remodel project.

Cash Flows from Financing
Activities

Cash used in financing activities for 2009 was $11.4 million which represented a
payment for the purchase and retirement of $17.2 million principal amount of our 101/8% mortgage notes. No tax distributions were paid to our partners in 2009 or 2008, and we do not anticipate any distributions with respect to 2009 in 2010 based on our expected final 2009 tax return. A
special distribution of $5.0 million to each partner was paid in 2008. Amounts totaling $4.5 million were paid in 2007 representing tax distributions to our partners.

Other Items Affecting Liquidity

Insurance Renewal

In July 2009, we renewed our general and
liability insurance policies each covering a 12-month period. Under these policies, the Partnership and the owner of the adjacent Eldorado property, Eldorado Resorts LLC (which is an affiliate of ELLC), have combined earthquake coverage of $350
million and combined flood coverage of $250 million. In the event that an earthquake causes damage only to the Partnerships property, the Partnership is eligible to receive up to $350 million in coverage depending on the replacement cost.
However, in the event that both properties are damaged, the Partnership is entitled to receive, to the extent of any replacement cost incurred, up to $220 million of the coverage amount (based on our percentage of the total earthquake coverage) and
the portion of the other $130 million, if any, remaining after satisfaction of the claim of Eldorado Resorts LLC with respect to its adjoining property. In the event that a flood causes damage only to the Partnerships property, the Partnership
is eligible to receive up to $250 million in coverage, depending on the replacement cost. However, in the event that both properties are damaged, the Partnership is entitled to receive, to the extent of any replacement cost incurred, up to $220
million of the coverage amount (based on our percentage of the total flood coverage) and the portion of the other $30 million, if any, remaining after satisfaction of the claim of Eldorado Resorts LLC with respect to its adjoining property.

Our insurance policy also includes combined terrorism coverage for Silver Legacy and the adjoining Eldorado property up to
$500 million. In the event that an act of terrorism causes damage only to the Partnerships property, the Partnership is eligible to receive up to $500 million in coverage, depending on the replacement cost. However, in the event that both
properties are damaged, the Partnership is entitled to receive, to the extent of any replacement cost incurred, up to $280 million of the coverage amount (based on our percentage of the total reported property values) and the portion of the other
$220 million, if any, remaining after satisfaction of the claim of Eldorado Resorts LLC with respect to its adjoining property. This policy also covers an additional property located in Shreveport, LA which is owned by an affiliate of Eldorado
Resorts LLC. In the event that an act of terrorism causes damage to all three properties, the Partnership is entitled to receive, to the extent of any replacement cost incurred, up to $200 million of the coverage amount (based on our percentage of
the total reported property values) and the portion of the other $300 million, if any, remaining after satisfaction of the claims with respect to the other two properties.

Partnership Agreement

The Partnerships
partnership agreement, as currently in effect, provides that, subject to any contractual restrictions to which the Partnership is subject, including the indenture relating to our 101/8% mortgage notes, and prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating
Event, the Partnership will be required to make distributions to its partners as follows:

(i) The estimated taxable income of the Partnership 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).

(ii) Annual distributions of remaining
Net Cash From Operations in proportion to the percentage interests of the partners.

(iii) Distributions of Net Cash From Operations in amounts or at times that differ from those described in (i) and (ii) above, provided in each case that both partners agree in writing to the distribution in
advance thereof.

As defined in the partnership agreement, the term Net Cash From Operations means the gross cash
proceeds received by the Partnership, less the following amounts: (i) cash operating expenses and payments of other expenses and obligations of the Partnership, including interest and scheduled principal payments on Partnership indebtedness,
including indebtedness owed to the partners, if any, (ii) all capital expenditures made by the Partnership, and (iii) such reasonable reserves as the partners deem necessary in good faith and in the best interests of the Partnership to
meet its anticipated future obligations and liabilities (less any release of reserves previously established, as similarly determined).

The Partnerships partnership agreement provides that the partners shall not be permitted or required to contribute additional capital to the Partnership without the consent of the partners, which
consent may be given or withheld in each partners sole and absolute discretion.

Repurchase of101/8% Mortgage Notes

In February 2009, the Partnership purchased and retired $17.2 million principal amount of its 101/8% mortgage notes. The total purchase price of the notes was
approximately $11.4 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.5 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. The purchase of the notes reduced the amount of notes outstanding to $142.8 million. The transaction was funded by
available invested cash reserves. The Partnerships executive committee has authorized the Partnership to spend up to an additional $8.6 million for the repurchase of notes. It is anticipated that any additional notes acquired prior to their
maturity will be through open market purchases.

Summary of Expected Sources and Uses of Funds

We believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet our obligations up to the March 2012 maturity date of our 101/8% mortgage notes. These obligations include existing
cash obligations, funding of capital commitments and servicing our debt. Our future sources of liquidity are anticipated to be from our operating cash flow and cash reserves. Current and future economic and credit market conditions could adversely
affect our ability to refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to timely refinance and replace such indebtedness will depend upon our ability to generate sufficient cash as well as improvements in financial markets.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments to make future payments under certain contracts, including long-term debt obligations and operating leases, as of
December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

The repayment of our long-term
debt, which at December 31, 2009, consisted of the indebtedness evidenced by our 101/8% mortgage notes, is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture relating to the notes.

We made cash interest payments of $14.7 million, $16.2 million and $16.3 million during the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We anticipate that cash payments for interest in 2010 will be approximately $14.5 million based on a decline in our average outstanding borrowings as a result of the aforementioned retirement of a
portion of the notes in February 2009. See Repurchase of 101/8% Mortgage Notes above.

No tax distributions of the Partnership to
its partners were paid in 2009 and 2008 and we do not anticipate any distributions in 2010 with respect to 2009 based on our expected final 2009 tax return. A special distribution was approved by the Partnerships executive committee and paid
by the Partnership in March 2008. The aggregate amount of the distribution was $10.0 million, of which $5.0 million was paid to each partner. Tax distributions of the Partnership to its partners totaled $4.5 million in 2007.

101/8% Mortgage Notes

On March 5, 2002, the Partnership and Capital co-issued $160.0 million principal amount of 101/8% senior secured mortgage notes due 2012. The notes are senior
secured obligations which rank equally with all of the Partnerships other outstanding senior debt and senior to any subordinated debt. The notes are secured by a security interest in the Issuers existing and future assets, other than
certain licenses which may not be pledged under applicable law, that is junior to a security interest in the same assets securing the Partnerships obligations under its credit facility and any refinancings of the facility that are permitted
pursuant to the terms of the notes. Each of the Partnerships partners executed a pledge of all of its partnership interests in the Partnership to secure the notes, which is junior to a pledge of those partnership interests to secure the
Partnerships obligations on the credit facility and any refinancings of the facility that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the indenture relating to 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. At December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the covenants in the indenture related to the notes.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On March 30, 2010, our senior secured credit facility (the Credit Facility) that provided a $1.0 million revolving facility which had been reduced from $10.0 million during the first quarter of 2008, expired. Under the
Credit Facility, as in effect at the time it expired, we were required to maintain a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA of 4.75 to 1.00 and were also required to maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges of 1.10 to 1.00 at all times. In
addition, the Credit Facility limited capital expenditures to an aggregate of $15.0 million in any twelve-month period. The Credit Facility was secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our existing and future assets,
other than certain licenses which may not be pledged under applicable law, and a first priority pledge of and security interest in all of the partnership interests in the



28



---

Partnership held by its partners. The Credit Facility ranked equal in right of payment to our other existing and future senior indebtedness, including our 101/8% mortgage notes, but the security interests securing our
obligations under the Credit Facility were senior to the security interests securing our obligations on the notes. The Credit Facility contained customary covenants, including covenants that limited or restricted our ability to incur additional
debt; create liens or other encumbrances; pay dividends or make other restricted payments; prepay subordinated indebtedness; make investments, loans or other guarantees; sell or otherwise dispose of a portion of our assets; or make acquisitions or
merge or consolidate with another entity.

During 2009, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Credit
Facility. As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership was not in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility and, consequently, it was precluded from utilizing the Credit Facility until it completed a fiscal quarter as to which
it was 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 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 waived compliance with the Credit Facilitys financial covenants for each subsequent quarter through 2009, provided that no additional credit was
extended under the Credit Facility during a quarter for which the waiver was relied upon. Our inability to satisfy the covenant ratios in the Credit Facility did not constitute a default under the indenture relating to the notes.

On January 28, 2009, the Partnership executed an amendment to extend the Credit Facilitys maturity date for an additional year to
March 30, 2010. This amendment also allows for the unconditional expenditure of up to $20.0 million to purchase outstanding notes, provided that no proceeds of loans under the Credit Facility were used for this purpose. Of the permitted $20.0
million of expenditures, as of December 31, 2009, the Partnership had spent $11.4 million for the repurchase of notes.

But for the repayment of our 101/8% mortgage notes at maturity, which we will be required to refinance, we believe we have sufficient cash to meet all of our obligations up to the March 2012 maturity date of the 101/8% mortgage notes and we had not utilized our borrowing capacity
under the Credit Facility since 2003. As a result, the Credit Facility was not extended beyond its March 30, 2010 maturity date.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition
above are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we 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. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of
existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our 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.

Gross
Revenues and Promotional Allowances

In accordance with industry practice, we recognize as casino revenues the net win from
gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. The retail value of food, beverage, rooms and other services furnished to customers on a complimentary basis is included in gross revenues and then is deducted as promotional
allowances.

Players Club Point Liability

Our players club allows customers to earn points based on the volume of their gaming activity. Under the terms of our
program, these points are redeemable for certain complimentary services, at the customers discretion, including rooms, food, beverage, retail and entertainment tickets. We accrue 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 earned and is included in casino expense on our consolidated income statement. To arrive at the estimated cost associated with our
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. We use historical data to assist in the
determination of estimated accruals. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were accrued for the cost of the anticipated redemptions.



29



---

Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life. 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. We review depreciation
estimates and methods as new events occur, more experience is acquired, and additional information is obtained that would possibly change our current estimates. 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 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. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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

We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of our
accounts receivable and maintain a reserve for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount we reserve, we review our aged accounts receivables, consider our historical level of
credit losses and make judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations and relationships. Since we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from
uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates.

Self-Insurance Reserves

Silver Legacy is self insured up to certain limits for our general liability, group health insurance and workmens compensation
programs. We analyze historical and current pending claims information to estimate amounts to be accrued. In order to mitigate our potential exposure, we have obtained certain stop loss policies. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $0.6 million and
$0.5 million, respectively, were accrued for estimated pending claims.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Partnership adopted various accounting standards during 2009, none of which had a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements. In addition, certain amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810 Consolidation became effective for us beginning January 1, 2010. Such amendments include changes to the quantitative
approach to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE). An enterprise must determine if its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE by evaluating whether 1) the
enterprise has the power to direct activities of the VIE that have a significant effect on economic performance, and 2) the enterprise has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be
significant to the VIE. The amendments to ASC 810 also require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Partnerships consolidated
financial statements.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ---------------------------------------------------------

We are potentially exposed to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates and their potential impact upon our variable rate debt outstanding. We evaluate our exposure to this market risk by
monitoring interest rates in the marketplace and we have, on occasion, utilized derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk although we did not utilize any derivative financial instruments in 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we had
no variable rate debt outstanding.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our 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 our financial reporting. The
Partnerships internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance that information contained in the Partnership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, 2009, management has concluded that the
Partnerships internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

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

PART III



|ITEM 10. | DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANTS
|-------- | ---------------------------------------------------

Overview

The current managing partner of the Partnership is Galleon, Inc.
(Galleon). Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the managing partner is responsible for the day-to-day management of the business affairs of the Partnership. The managing partner has delegated a substantial portion of its duties
to the general manager of Silver Legacy. Although the Partnership is a general partnership between Galleon, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE, and Eldorado Limited Liability Company (ELLC), which is a 96%-owned
subsidiary of Eldorado Resorts LLC, the Partnership employs its own separate management team to operate Silver Legacy. An executive committee of the Partnership is responsible for consulting with, reviewing, monitoring and overseeing the performance
of the management of Silver Legacy. The executive committee, which functions in a capacity similar to a corporations board of directors, does not have any separately designated committees other than an audit committee.



31



---

The Managing Partner

The Partnerships partnership agreement (the Partnership Agreement) designates Galleon as the Partnerships managing partner with responsibility and authority for the day-to-day
management of the business affairs of the Partnership, including overseeing the day-to-day operations of Silver Legacy and other Partnership business, preparation of the Partnerships budgets and implementation of the decisions made by the
partners. The managing partner is also responsible for the preparation and submission of the Partnerships annual business plan for review and approval by the Partnerships executive committee, utilizing the special voting procedures and
the procedure for resolving deadlocks described below.

The Partnership Agreement provides that the managing partner shall
appoint the general manager, subject to approval of the appointment by the executive committee, utilizing the special voting procedures and the procedure for resolving deadlocks described below. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the
general manager may be removed by either of the Partnerships partners upon 30 days written notice. The Partnership Agreement also provides that the managing partner shall appoint the other principal senior management of the Partnership and
Silver Legacy, subject to approval of such appointments by the executive committee in the case of the general manager, who is the Partnerships chief executive officer, and the controller, who is the Partnerships chief financial officer
and accounting officer. The Partnerships senior management performs such functions, duties, and responsibilities as the managing partner may assign, and serves at the direction and pleasure of the managing partner.

The Partnership Agreement provides that the unanimous approval of both partners is required for certain actions, including the admission of
an additional partner, the purchase of additional real property, encumbrances on Silver Legacy, sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, refinancing or incurrence of indebtedness involving in excess
of $250,000 other than in the ordinary course of business, capital improvements involving more than $250,000 that are not included in an approved annual business plan, and any obligation, contract, agreement, or commitment with a partner or an
affiliate of a partner which is not specifically permitted by the Partnership Agreement.

Replacement of the Managing Partner

If the actual net operating results of the business of the Partnership for any four consecutive quarters are less than 80%
of the projected amount as set forth in the Partnerships annual business plan, after appropriate adjustments for factors affecting similar business in the vicinity of the Silver Legacy, ELLC may require Galleon to resign from its position as
managing partner.

In the event Galleon resigns as managing partner, ELLC will have the right and option to become the
managing partner of the Partnership and assume all the obligations of the managing partner under the Partnership Agreement, or the partners are required to attempt to appoint a third party to manage the day-to-day business affairs of the
Partnership. In that event, if the partners are unable to agree on a manager, then the Partnership shall be dissolved and liquidated in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

The Executive Committee

The executive committee of the Partnership is authorized to review, monitor and oversee the performance of the management of Silver Legacy. The executive committee of the Partnership consists of five members, with three members appointed by
the managing partner and two members appointed by the other partner. In the event that neither of the partners is the managing partner, then the executive committee shall consist of five members, with two members appointed by each partner and a
fifth member appointed by a third party manager selected by the partners. Each 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 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, Donald D. Thrasher, and Corey I. Sanders, each of whom was appointed by Galleon, and Robert M. Jones and Gene R. Carano, each of whom
was appointed by ELLC.

Each member of the executive committee is selected in the sole discretion of one of the
Partnerships two partners, with no role of the Partnership or the executive committee in that selection process. Because the business of the Partnership is the same as that of each of its partners and because the structure of the Partnership
gives the sole authority to designate each member of the executive committee to one of the partners, the Partnership believes that the attribute that best qualifies each member of its executive committee to hold his position on the committee is the
confidence in such member of the partner that designates him to serve.



32



---

Subject to the requirement of unanimous approval of the partners for certain actions, the
duties of the executive committee include, but are not limited to, (i) reviewing, adjusting, approving, developing, and supervising the Partnerships annual business plan, (ii) reviewing and approving the terms of any loans made to
the Partnership, (iii) approving all material purchases, sales, leases or other dispositions of Partnership property, other than in the ordinary course of business, and (iv) approving the appointment of the general manager, who is the
Partnerships chief executive officer, and the controller, who is the Partnerships chief financial officer and accounting officer, and determining the compensation of the general manager and the controller.

The Partnership Agreement provides special voting procedures for the executive committees approval of the annual business plan, the
appointment of the general manager and 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 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 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 partners (the Accountant) for resolution. The Accountant shall consider the positions of the members of the executive committee and the 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 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 partners.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Partnerships executive committee and Capitals Board of Directors have each determined that Robert M. Jones, who is a
member of the executive committee and Capitals Board of Directors, and also serves on their audit committee, 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 Partnership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.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

Mr. Jones is not independent as that term is defined under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). None of the Partnerships or Capital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 Partnership or Capital in the future.

Code of Ethics

The Partnerships executive committee and Capitals Board of Directors have adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Partnerships and Capitals principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 14 to this report, 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 reports and documents that the Partnership files with, or submits to, the SEC and in
other public communications made by the Partnership;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person identified in the code; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

|ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
|-------- | ----------------------

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

Under the terms of the Partnerships partnership agreement, the executive committee of the Partnership determines the compensation of
the general manager, who is the Partnerships chief executive officer (CEO), and the controller, who is the Partnerships chief financial officer and accounting officer (CFO). The Partnership does not have a
separate compensation committee. With the exception of the compensation of the CEO and CFO, which requires the executive committees approval, the CEO has responsibility for fixing the compensation of the other named executive officers. The
Partnerships executive committee approves any new elements or significant changes to the existing compensation program. In 2009, the Partnership did not grant any plan-based awards. The Partnership does not have publicly traded equity.
Accordingly, it does not award any equity-based compensation or utilize any equity-based guidelines in determining the compensation of its named executive officers. There are currently no employment contracts with any of the named executive
officers.

Compensation Objectives

Each of the named executive officers has been with the Partnership since Silver Legacy opened in 1995. With the exception of Stephanie Lepori, each of the named executive officers has over 30 years of
experience in the Reno gaming market. Stephanie Lepori has over 15 years of experience in the Reno gaming market. The Partnership has benefited from this experience and expertise, and its compensation objective is to retain its named executive
officers in an effort to support its overall long-term strategic and performance goals. The Partnership attempts to retain its named executive officers by paying total compensation that is fair, competitive and reasonable and by using continued
service as one of the determinates of total compensation through the utilization of its supplemental executive retirement program (SERP). As a result, the Partnerships compensation of its named executive officers is designed to
reward their continued service and their respective contributions to the maintenance of Silver Legacys position as an industry leader within the Reno market through its annual compensation and the utilization of its SERP.

Executive Compensation Components

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the components of compensation for the Partnerships named executive officers were:



| |  |  | base salary;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | health and life insurance;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | retirement benefits; and
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | perquisites and other personal benefits.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

Base Salary

The Partnerships original executive committee approved
the compensation amounts for Gary Carano, the Partnerships CEO, and Glenn Carano, the Partnerships Executive Director of Marketing, when the Partnership was established in 1995. Their base salaries were determined taking into account
their extensive knowledge of the Reno market and prior experience in the operation of the adjoining Eldorado Hotel & Casino, which is majority-owned by members of the Carano family, over a period of more than 15 years. The base salaries
paid to these two individuals have not changed since 1995 other than a reduction of their base salaries applied across the board to the compensation of all salaried employees, discussed under 2009 Actions.

The salaries paid in 2009 to the other two named executive officers, Bruce Sexton, the Partnerships Assistant General Manager, and
Stephanie Lepori, the Partnerships CFO, were determined by the CEO, and approved by the Executive Committee in the case of Stephanie Lepori, on a subjective basis taking into account the salaries for comparable positions at the adjoining
properties of our affiliates, Eldorado Hotel & Casino and Circus Circus Hotel-Casino, and other available compensation comparables within our market (and reduced by the aforementioned reduction of the salaries of all salaried employees). In
determining their salaries, consideration of his or her responsibility and experience were also taken into account.

---

All of the salaries and bonuses of the named executive officers were paid in cash. With the
exception of the salaries of Gary Carano and Glenn Carano, salary levels are typically considered annually as part of the Partnerships performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Any merit
based increase in salary is based on a subjective evaluation that, in addition to the factors discussed earlier, takes into account the individuals performance.

Bonuses

The Partnerships Chief Executive Officer, along with the
Partnerships executive committee, determined to pay no bonuses in 2009 based on the Partnerships financial results in 2009. Because of the decline in the Partnerships financial results in 2008, the Partnership also paid no bonuses
in 2008.

Health and Life Insurance

The Partnership offers health insurance benefits as a tool to attract and retain qualified employees. Health insurance is available to all employees who meet certain length of service and hours worked
requirements. All covered employees, including our named executive officers, are required to contribute amounts via a payroll deduction which is tiered based on the salary level of the employee and the type of insurance coverage selected to cover a
portion of the cost of the coverage.

The Partnership pays premiums for term life and accidental death insurance for all of
its employees. The benefit amounts range from $10,000 to $50,000 based on the level of position of the employee. The premium paid for each of our named executive officers is for the maximum benefit of $50,000.

Retirement Benefits

The
Partnership offers retirement benefits designed to retain employees and motivate long-term performance. All employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Partnerships employee savings plan. In addition,
certain named executive officers are entitled to participate in the Partnerships SERP.

SERP

The Partnership established its SERP in 2002 as an important retention tool. The design of the Partnerships SERP is intended to
compensate participants upon retirement at a level equivalent to a percentage of their highest annual compensation received during the last five full calendar years preceding retirement. The percentages were set based on competitive data at the time
the plan was implemented, and are evaluated by the Partnerships retirement consultant and actuary on an annual basis. The Partnership balances the effectiveness of this plan as a compensation and retention tool with the cost to the Partnership
of providing the plan. Based on budget and cost constraints, no newly hired or promoted key employees have been admitted to the SERP since its inception date in 2002. The SERP is an unfunded, unsecured obligation of the Partnership and is not
qualified for tax purposes. The benefit formula under this plan is described in the section Pension Benefits. Management believes the SERP is a strong retention tool because the benefits generally increase with the named executive
officers continued employment. The executive committee believes the retention objective of the SERP is enhanced by the fact that plan benefits are forfeited should a covered named executive officer enter into employment with a competitor of
the Partnership after retirement or termination for cause.

Employee Savings Plan

The Partnership offers a defined contribution 401(k) plan which covers all employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements.
Until suspended in February 2009 due to the significant decline in the Partnerships financial results in 2008, employer matching contributions up to 1.5 percent of each participating employees compensation were made pursuant to the plan.
The plan is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Partnership maintains the plan to attract and retain qualified employees, including the named executive officers, and to encourage employees to save some percentage of
their cash compensation for their eventual retirement.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

The Partnership provides limited perquisites intended to serve specific business needs such as the entertainment of significant customers or
other individuals doing business with the Partnership; however, it is understood that some perquisites may include a personal as well as a business element. In 2009, the perquisites provided to the Partnerships named executive officers
consisted of dues for country club memberships, executive medical physicals, complimentary personal meals, and complimentary personal tickets for various events.

---

2009 Actions

Based on the current recession and the Partnerships financial performance in 2008, the Partnership implemented various cost savings measures in 2009 that impacted the Partnerships overall
compensation program. The salary of each salaried employee, including each named executive officer, for the period from February 15, 2009 through December 31, 2009 was reduced by three percent and the matching contribution offered under
the Partnerships 401(k) savings plan was suspended in February 2009.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The executive committee of the Partnership, which functions in a manner similar to the board of directors of a corporation and does not have
a separate compensation committee, has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation S-K with management. Based on the review and discussions
referred to in the preceding sentence, the Partnerships executive committee has recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the executive committee.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Gene R. Carano

Robert M. Jones

James J. Murren

Corey I. Sanders

Donald D. Thrasher

|(1) | This column sets forth the change in pension value in 2009, 2008 and 2007 for each of the names executive officers participating in the SERP. The value for each year
was calculated as the difference between the present value of the names officers accrued benefit as of the end of the year, less the value calculated as of the end of the prior year. The present values were calculated using the same discount
rate and mortality table that were used in our financial disclosures on those dates. Stephanie Lepori is not covered by the SERP.

|(2) | The Partnership provides limited perquisites and personal benefits intended to serve specific business needs such as the entertainment of significant customers or other
individuals doing business with the Partnership; however, it is understood that some may be used for personal reasons as well. In 2009 the perquisites and personal benefits provided to the Partnerships named executive officers consisted of
dues for country club memberships, executive medical physicals, complimentary personal meals, and complimentary personal tickets for various events. The incremental cost to the Partnership of the perquisites and personal benefits received by Gary
Carano and Glenn Carano during each year is included in the table. The value of the perquisites and personal benefits received by each of the two other named executive officers in each year is not included in the table because the perquisites and
personal benefits received by each of these individuals involved an aggregate incremental cost to the Partnership of less than $10,000. The incremental cost to the Partnership of each perquisite and personal benefit is intended to capture the entire
cost to the Partnership of the benefit less any amount which would have otherwise been incurred had the perquisite or benefit not been received.

Pension Benefits

The Partnership offers the SERP to seven of its current employees, including three of its named executive officers, to
provide each participating employee a targeted income on retirement relative to the employees highest annual compensation (base salary and bonus) amount within the last five full calendar years preceding retirement. The plan is unfunded and is
not qualified for tax purposes. Also, the participants benefits are subject to the claims of general creditors should the Partnership become insolvent.

Depending on a participating named executive officers tier and years of service, the following percentages are applied to his highest annual compensation (base salary and bonus) amount within the
last five full calendar years preceding retirement to determine the annual benefit payable upon retirement at or after age 60:

Normal retirement under the plan is at age 65. Because each participating named executive
officer has completed four years of service, early retirement benefits may commence for each upon attainment of age 55 at a reduced annual benefit. The annual benefit payable at age 60 is reduced by 5% for each full or partial year the early
retirement date precedes age 60. Benefits are not reduced for retirement at/or after age 60.

|(1) | The accumulated benefit is based on years of service and annual compensation (base salary and bonus) for the period through December 31, 2009. The present value is
calculated assuming the benefit commences at normal retirement age 65 and that the benefit is payable for life. It is also based on the assumptions included in the accompanying footnotes to the financial statements. As described in these footnotes,
the assumed interest rate is 5.73%. If the assumed retirement age were changed to age 60, the present value for each of the named executive officers would instead be $2,551,612, $1,403,192, and $916,958 for Gary Carano, Glenn Carano and Bruce
Sexton, respectively. The post-retirement mortality assumption is based on RP2000-Mortality Table-Projected 10 Years Using Projection Scale AA. All of the participating named executive officers were vested in the SERP as of December 31, 2009.

Under the SERP, plan benefits vary depending on the event which causes the employment termination. The following is a brief description of the benefits payable upon different termination events:



| |  |  | In the event a named executive officer enters into competitive employment after termination or retirement, the named executive officers pension will be
forfeited. The forfeiture provision would be waived if the named executive officers termination occurs after a change in control.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the event of termination for cause, the named executive officer will forfeit all rights to benefits under the plan.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the event of death before retirement, the named executive officers beneficiary will be entitled to receive the present value of the benefit,
if any, the named executive officer would have been entitled to receive on the date of death as an early retirement benefit.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the event a disability occurs before retirement, the named executive officer will receive an annual income equal to the accumulated benefit at the
time the disability occurs, unreduced for the commencement of the benefit prior to age 65. The benefit will commence immediately if the named executive officer is 55 or older determined at the time the disability occurs, or, if the named executive
officer has not reached the age of 55, once the named executive officer attains age 55 and, in either case, will continue as long as the named executive officer remains disabled.

The Eldorado
Hotel & Casino is owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC, which is 51.0% owned directly or indirectly by members of the Carano family, including Gary L. Carano, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer, Glenn T. Carano, Secretary of the
Partnership, and Gene R. Carano, a member of the Partnerships executive committee.

Gary N. Jacobs, from June 2000 to
December 2009, had been an executive officer of MGM MIRAGE which acquired Mandalay Resort Group on April 25, 2005 and, as a result of such acquisition, now owns and operates the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino through a wholly owned subsidiary.
James J. Murren has since 1999 been an executive officer of MGM MIRAGE. Gene R. Carano is currently General Manager of Eldorado Hotel & Casino and was their general manager from 1998 through 2002. In addition, he has served as Vice
President of the Eldorado Resorts LLC or its predecessor since 1993 and, since July 1996, he and Robert M. Jones have been executive officers of Eldorado Resorts LLC, which owns 96% of ELLC.

Eldorado Limited Liability Company and Galleon, Inc. Subject to any contractual restrictions to which the
Partnership is subject, including the indenture relating to the 101/8% mortgage notes due 2012 co-issued by the Partnership and Capital (the Notes), and prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership is required by the Agreement of
Joint Venture of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture dated as of March 1, 1994 (the Original Partnership Agreement, as the same was amended concurrent with the issuance of the Notes and subsequently amended in April 2002, the
Partnership Agreement) to make distributions to its partners as follows:

(a) For each
year, an amount equal to the estimated taxable income of the Partnership 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 for 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 Partnership Agreement, the term Net Cash From Operations means the gross cash proceeds
received by the Partnership, less the following amounts: (i) cash operating expenses and payments of other expenses and obligations of the Partnership, including interest and scheduled principal payments on Partnership indebtedness, including
indebtedness owed to the partners, if any, (ii) all capital expenditures made by the Partnership, and (iii) such reasonable reserves as the partners deem necessary in good faith and in the best interests of the Partnership to meet
anticipated future obligations and liabilities of the Partnership (less any release of reserves previously established, as similarly determined). As defined in the Partnership Agreement, the term Liquidating Event means the first to
occur of any of (i) January 1, 2053, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership property, (iii) the unanimous vote of the partners to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Partnership, (iv) the happening of
any other event that makes it unlawful or impossible to carry on the business of the Partnership, (v) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined the Partnership Agreement) of a partner, or (vi) the partners are unable to agree
upon a replacement managing partner as provided in the Partnership Agreement.

No payments were made to the Partnerships
partners during the year ended December 31, 2009. ELLC is 96% owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC, which is 51.0% owned directly or indirectly by members of the Carano family, including Gary L. Carano, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer,
Glenn T. Carano, Secretary of the Partnership, and Gene R. Carano, a member of the Partnerships executive committee.

Recreational Enterprises, Inc. From time to time, Silver Legacy has utilized an aircraft owned by Recreational Enterprises, Inc. (REI), for the purpose of providing air service to select customers. During the year
ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership paid $17,430 for such services. We believe the terms on which we have utilized this service are at least as favorable to us as those that would be available from an unrelated third party. 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 47% of Eldorado Resorts LLC, is owned by various members of the Carano family, including Gary L. Carano, Silver Legacys General Manager, Glenn T. Carano, Secretary of the Partnership, 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.

Sierra Adventure Equipment Leasing, Inc. From time to time, Silver Legacys
marketing and sales departments have utilized a yacht owned by Sierra Adventure Equipment Leasing, Inc. (Sierra Leasing) for various promotional events. The payments made by the Partnership to Sierra Leasing for the use of the yacht
during the year ended December 31, 2009 were based on a flat rate per trip of $3,000 ($2,500 if the trip was shared with our partner, ELLC) and totaled $2,500. 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. 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 year ended
December 31, 2009 totaled $61,700.

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 $113,100 during the year ended December 31, 2009. We believe the terms on 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.

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 year ended December 31, 2009, which are billed to the Partnership at cost plus associated labor, the Partnership paid Eldorado Resorts LLC $50,800. ELLC, which owns 50% of the Partnership, is
96% owned by Eldorado Resorts LLC.

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 various shared management positions 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 2009, the Partnership
reimbursed Eldorado Resorts LLC $515,000 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 $142,000 for Eldorados allocable portion of the shared administrative services costs associated with the operations performed at Silver Legacy.

MGM MIRAGE. Silver Legacy utilizes 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. In May 2009, the Partnership also began utilizing an uncovered parking lot located adjacent to Circus Circus
Hotel and Casino-Reno for oversize vehicles. In consideration for its use of the space, the Partnership pays Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno rent in the amount of $800 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. The Circus Circus Hotel and Casino is owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE.

Transfer of Partnership Interests

Except as expressly permitted by the Partnership Agreement, neither partner may transfer all or any portion of its
interest in the Partnership or any rights therein without the unanimous consent of both partners. The Partnership Agreement provides that a partner may transfer or convey all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership to an affiliate of such
partner (subject to certain limitations), members of the partners family (which includes the partners spouse, natural or adoptive lineal descendants, and trusts for their benefit), another partner, a personal representative of the
partner or any person or entity approved by the unanimous consent of the partners.

Unless otherwise agreed by Galleon, Donald
L. Carano or a member of his immediate family acceptable to Galleon, which acceptance may not be unreasonably withheld, or an affiliate controlled by Donald L. Carano or a member of his immediate family acceptable to Galleon, 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 Partnership). Unless otherwise agreed by ELLC, which
may not be unreasonably withheld, Galleon (or, if applicable, any entity that is a permitted transferee and to which Galleon has transferred its interest in the Partnership) is required to be



45



---

controlled by Mandalay Resort Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE. In the event the limitation in this paragraph with respect to either partner is breached, the other partner will have
the right (but not be required) to exercise the buy-sell provisions described below.

Incorporated herein
by reference is the information concerning our partners pledges of their interests in the Partnership to secure the repayment of the indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Credit Facility and our 101/8% mortgage notes included under the captions 101/8% Mortgage Notes and Senior Secured Credit
Facility in our Managements Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 of this report.

Limitation on Partners Actions

The Partnership Agreement includes
each partners covenant and agreement not to (i) take any action to require partition or to compel any sale with respect to its Partnership 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 partner, (iv) withdraw or attempt to withdraw from the Partnership, (v) exercise any power under the Nevada Uniform Partnership Act to dissolve the
Partnership, (vi) transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership (other than as permitted hereunder), (vii) petition for judicial dissolution of the Partnership, or (viii) demand a return of such 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 partners. The Partnership Agreement also provides that if a partner attempts to (A) cause a partition or
(B) withdraw from the Partnership or dissolve the Partnership, or otherwise take any action in breach of its aforementioned agreements, the Partnership shall continue and (1) the breaching partner shall immediately cease to have the
authority to act as a partner, (2) the other 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 Partnership, (3) the breaching partner shall be liable in
damages, without requirement of a prior accounting, to the Partnership for all costs and liabilities that the Partnership or any partner may incur as a result of such breach, (4) distributions to the breaching partner shall be reduced to 75% of
the distributions otherwise payable to the breaching partner and (5) the breaching partner shall continue to be liable to the Partnership for any obligations of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, and to be jointly and
severally liable with the other partners for any debts and liabilities (whether actual or contingent, known or unknown) of the Partnership existing at the time the breaching partner withdraws or dissolves.

Buy-Sell Provision

Either
partner (provided such partner is not in default of any of the provisions of the Partnership Agreement) may make an offer to purchase (Offer) the interest of the other partner, which will constitute an irrevocable offer by the partner
giving the Offer either to (i) purchase all, but not less than all, of the interest in the Partnership of the other 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 Partnership free of liens and encumbrances to the other partner for the amount specified in the Offer (the Purchase Price). The 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 partner sell its interest to the other partner at the Purchase Price. The closing of the transaction for the sale or purchase of the
Partnership 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 Partnership is a party, the partner purchasing
the Partnership interest (the Purchasing Partner) shall be entitled to encumber the Partnership property in order to finance the purchase, provided that the other partner (the Selling Partner) will have no liability,
contingent or otherwise, under such financing. The Purchasing Partner may assign all or part of its right to purchase the Partnership interest of the Selling Partner to an affiliate of the Purchasing Partner, provided that no such assignment
relieves the Purchasing Partner of its obligations in the event of a default by the affiliate.

Dissolution, Winding Up and Liquidation

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership 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 Partnership property, (iii) the unanimous vote of the partners to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Partnership, (iv) the
happening of any other event that makes it unlawful or impossible to carry on the business of the Partnership, (v) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined the Partnership Agreement) of a partner, or (vi) the partners are
unable to agree upon a replacement managing partner as provided in the Partnership Agreement (each, a Liquidating Event).

The Partnership Agreement also includes the partners agreement that the Partnership 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 Partnership has dissolved prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the partners have agreed to continue the business of the Partnership without a winding up or
liquidation.

Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership 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 partners. The managing partner will be



46



---

responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership, taking full account of the Partnership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 therefore, to be applied and distributed (i) first, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnerships debts
and liabilities to creditors other than partners, (ii) second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnerships debts and liabilities to partners, and (iii) the balance, if any, to the partners in the amount of their
respective capital accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods or portions thereof.

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

For information concerning certain transactions, including transactions with entities of which a member of the Partnerships executive
committee is an executive officer or owns a beneficial interest in excess of 10%, see the discussion under the heading Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Item 11 of this annual report, which is
incorporated herein by reference.

None of the members of the Partnerships executive committee or its audit committee is
independent as that term is defined under the current rules of the NYSE. None of the Partnerships and Capital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 Partnership or Capital in the future.

The Partnership has
written policies and procedures related to the identification, review and approval of related party transactions. Related party transactions typically involve various transactions with our affiliates, or subsidiaries of our affiliates, which
generally provide the Partnership with an opportunity to obtain favorable terms and/or premium products. However, pursuant to the Partnerships policies and procedures, all related party transactions are reviewed by the executive committee to
ensure that the terms are at least as favorable as those obtainable from an unaffiliated third party. Since the beginning of the Partnerships last fiscal year, there has not been any transaction required to be reported pursuant to
Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K that was not subject to the prior review and approval of the executive committee, or not so reviewed and approved, pursuant to the Partnerships policies and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

| | Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture
| | ---------------------------------

| | (doing business as Silver Legacy Resort Casino) :
| | -------------------------------------------------

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture (doing business as Silver Legacy Resort Casino) and subsidiary (collectively, the Joint Venture) as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule of
Valuation and Qualifying Accounts included in Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Ventures management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements and financial statement schedule 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 Joint Venture is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Joint Venture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 Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture (doing business as Silver Legacy Resort Casino) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

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 $25.0 million and cash of $26.9 million for a total equity investment of $51.9 million. Galleon contributed cash
to the Partnership of $51.9 million 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 (MGM) 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, Galleon,
Inc. became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MGM MIRAGE.

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 $160.0 million 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 consolidated 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, 2009, 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.

The Partnership reviews its property and equipment and its long-lived assets 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 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, the Partnership recognizes
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, 2009 and 2008, 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 $5.4 million, $6.1 million and $7.0
million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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 $36.7 million and $39.6 million, at December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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

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. Accordingly, fair value is a market based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a
basis for considering such assumptions, there is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations for the asset or liability that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data for which the primary inputs are observable, including forward
interest rates, yield curves, credit risk and exchange rates.

Level 3: Inputs for the valuations are unobservable and
are based on managements estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques such as option pricing models and discounted cash
flow models.

The Partnerships financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short maturities of
these instruments. We determined the fair value of the Partnerships 101/8% mortgage notes using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Partnerships 101/8% mortgage notes, based on quoted market prices, was approximately $126.4 million and $105.6 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses which do not affect net income (loss) under accounting

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Partnership adopted various accounting standards during 2009, none of which had a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In addition, certain amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810 Consolidation become effective
for us beginning January 1, 2010. Such amendments include changes to the quantitative approach to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE). An enterprise must determine if its variable interest or
interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE by evaluating whether 1) the enterprise has the power to direct activities of the VIE that have a significant effect on economic performance, and 2) the enterprise has an
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The amendments to ASC 810 also require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on the Partnerships consolidated financial statements

On March 5, 2002, the Partnership and Capital (collectively, the Issuers)
co-issued $160.0 million principal amount of senior secured mortgage notes due 2012 (the Notes). Concurrent with issuing the Notes, the Partnership entered into a senior secured credit facility (the Credit Facility) for $40.0
million. The Credit Facility originally provided for a $20.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and a $20.0 million 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 $26.0 million in borrowings under the Credit Facility, were used to repay $150.2 million representing all of the indebtedness outstanding under a prior bank credit facility and to fund $30.0
million of distributions to the Partners. In addition, the remaining proceeds along with operating cash flows were used to pay $6.3 million in related fees and expenses of the transactions. These fees were capitalized and are included in other
assets. On November 4, 2003, the Partnership, U.S. Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., executed an amendment to the Credit Facility which reduced the revolving facility to $10.0 million. On March 28, 2008, the Partnership and Bank of
America, N.A. executed an amendment reducing the revolving facility to $1.0 million.

The Notes are senior
secured obligations which rank equally with all of the Partnerships outstanding senior debt and are 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 any new credit facility we may secure 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 any new credit facility we may secure 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 contain various restrictive
covenants. The covenants included in the Notes and/or any new credit facility we may secure 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, 2009, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2009, 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, 2009, the
Partnership was precluded from utilizing the Credit Facility until it completed a fiscal quarter as to which it was 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 waived compliance with the Credit Facilitys financial covenants for each subsequent quarter through and including December 31, 2009, provided that no additional credit was
extended under the Credit Facility during a quarter for which the waiver was relied upon. The Partnerships inability to satisfy the covenant ratios in the Credit Facility did not constitute a default under the indenture relating to the Notes.
As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants in the indenture relating to the Notes.

January 28, 2009, the Partnership executed an amendment to extend the Credit Facilitys maturity date for an additional year to March 30, 2010. This amendment also allows for the unconditional expenditure of up to $20.0 million to
purchase outstanding Notes provided that no proceeds of loans under the Credit Facility were used for this purpose. The aforementioned financial covenants waiver remained in effect throughout 2009. The Partnership has not utilized its borrowing
capacity under the Credit Facility since 2003. As a result, the Credit Facility was not extended beyond its March 30, 2010 maturity date.

In February 2009, the Partnership repurchased and retired $17.2 million principal amount of the Notes. The total purchase price of the Notes was approximately $11.4 million, resulting in a gain of
approximately $5.5 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs. The repurchase of the Notes reduced the amount of Notes outstanding to $142.8 million. The transaction was funded by available invested cash reserves. The Partnerships
executive committee has authorized the Partnership to spend up to an additional $8.6 million (representing the additional amount of funds other than proceeds of loans under the Credit Facility permitted by the terms of the Credit Facility to be
unconditionally expended) for the repurchase of Notes. It is anticipated that any additional Notes acquired prior to maturity will be acquired through open market purchases.

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, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership paid $17,400,
$33,900 and $28,100, 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 ($2,500 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 $2,500, $5,000 and $61,000 during 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2009, 2008, and 2007 were $61,700, $62,000 and $77,200, 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007, which are billed to the Partnership at cost plus
associated labor, the Partnership paid Eldorado Resorts LLC $50,800, $45,300 and $42,800, 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 $113,100, $72,300 and $53,000 during the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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, engineering and various shared management positions 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 2009 and 2008, the Partnership
reimbursed Eldorado Resorts LLC $515,000 and $129,200, respectively, for the Partnerships allocable portion of the shared administrative services costs

associated with the operations performed at the Eldorado Hotel & Casino. During 2009 and 2008, Eldorado Resorts LLC reimbursed the Partnership $142,000 and $30,100, respectively, 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. In May 2009, the Partnership also began utilizing an uncovered parking lot adjacent to Circus Circus Hotel and
Casino-Reno for oversize vehicles. In consideration for its use of the space, the Partnership pays Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno rent in the amount of $800 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 allowed for 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. In conjunction with implemented cost savings programs, the Partnership
discontinued the employer matching contribution in February 2009. The Partnerships matching contributions were $26,900, $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

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 $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

The
Credit Facility did not allow for the issuance of letters of credit beyond the revolving portion of the Credit Facility of which none was outstanding as of December 31, 2009.

Operating Leases

The Partnership leases land and equipment under
operating leases. Future minimum payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more consisted of the following at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):



|           |  |   |    
|---------- |  | - | ---
|2010       |  | $ | 158
|2011       |  |   | 157
|2012       |  |   | 150
|Thereafter |  |   | 37 
|           |  |   |    
|           |  | $ | 502
|           |  |   |    

Total rental expense under operating leases was $0.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 which include rental payments associated with cancellable operating leases with terms less than one year.

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 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 for 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. Hearings before the Nevada Administrative Law Judge are currently being scheduled; however, the date of the Partnerships hearing is uncertain at this time. Due to uncertainty
surrounding the potential arguments that may be raised in the administrative process the Partnership will not record any gain until the tax refund is realized.

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 $2.1 million 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 $10.0 million and $20.0 million respectively.

There were no distributions for the year ended December 31, 2009. No tax distributions of the Partnership to its partners were made in
2009 and are not anticipated to be owed based on the expected final 2009 tax return. Total distributions for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $10.0 million and included a distribution of $5.0 million 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. Total distributions for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $4.5 million
and included a distribution of $2.3 million each to ELLC and Galleon representing fiscal 2007 tax distributions.
