Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization The Company is a geographically diversified gaming and hospitality company that was founded in 1973 by the Carano family with the opening of the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada. The Company partnered with MGM Resorts International to build Silver Legacy Resort Casino in Reno, Nevada in 1993 and, beginning in 2005, grew through a series of acquisitions, including the acquisition of Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport (“Eldorado Shreveport”) in 2005, MTR Gaming Group, Inc. in 2014, Circus Circus Reno and the 50% membership interest in the Silver Legacy that was owned by MGM Resorts International in 2015, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (“Isle” or “Isle of Capri”) in 2017 and Grand Victoria Casino (“Elgin”) and Tropicana Entertainment, Inc. (“Tropicana”) in 2018. On July 20, 2020, the Company completed the merger with Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“Former Caesars”) pursuant to which Former Caesars became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company owns, leases or manages an aggregate of 54 domestic properties in 16 states with approximately 54,600 slot machines, video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) and e-tables, approximately 3,200 table games and approximately 47,700 hotel rooms as of March 31, 2021. We also have international operations in five countries outside of the U.S. In addition, we have other domestic and international properties that are authorized to use the brands and marks of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., as well as other non-gaming properties. Upon completion of our previously announced sales, or expected sales, of certain gaming properties, we expect to continue to own, lease or manage 48 properties. See Note 15 for segment information. The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated by gaming operations, and the Company utilizes its hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment, racing, sportsbook offerings, retail shops and other services to attract customers to its properties. The Company has entered into several agreements to divest of certain properties and initiated plans to divest of other assets, including non-core properties or divestitures required by regulatory agencies. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Merger and other transactions and Note 3 for a discussion of properties recently sold or currently held for sale. Certain properties, including Harrah’s Louisiana Downs, Caesars Southern Indiana, Horseshoe Hammond, and Caesars UK group, including Emerald Resort & Casino, met held for sale criteria as of the date of the closing of the Merger. The sales of these properties are expected to close within one year and the properties are classified as discontinued operations. Acquisition of William Hill On September 30, 2020, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with William Hill PLC on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition pursuant to which the Company would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital (other than shares owned by the Company or held in treasury) of William Hill PLC, in an all-cash transaction of approximately £2.9 billion . In order to manage the risk of appreciation of the GBP denominated purchase price the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts, which were settled as of March 31, 2021. See Note 7 . On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a debt financing commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto committed to arrange and provide a newly formed subsidiary of the Company with (a) a £1.0 billion senior secured 540-day bridge loan facility, (b) a £116 million senior secured 540-day revolving credit facility and (c) a £503 million senior secured 60-day bridge loan facility (collectively, the “Debt Financing”), which was amended and restated on December 11, 2020 in order to join additional lenders as parties thereto. Pending negotiation of the definitive loan agreement for the Debt Financing, on October 6, 2020, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company entered into a £1.5 billion Interim Facilities Agreement (the “Interim Facilities Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to provide: (a) a 90-day £1.0 billion interim asset sale bridge facility and (b) a 90-day £503 million interim cash confirmation bridge facility, which Interim Facilities Agreement was amended and restated on December 11, 2020 in order to join additional lenders as parties thereto. On April 20, 2021, a UK Court sanctioned the proposed acquisition and on April 22, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of William Hill PLC for £2.9 billion, or approximately $4.0 billion (the “William Hill Acquisition”). See Note 2 . In addition to the financing transactions described above, certain net assets of Caesars and William Hill will be assessed in determining the consideration transferred and the allocation of the purchase price. In connection with the William Hill Acquisition, on April 22, 2021, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto provided the Debt Financing. The Bridge Credit Agreement provides for (a) a 540-day £1.0 billion asset sale bridge facility, (b) a 60-day £503 million cash confirmation bridge facility and (c) a 540-day £116 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the bridge loan facilities provided under the Bridge Credit Agreement were used (i) to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition and (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and related transactions. The proceeds of the revolving credit facility under the Bridge Credit Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Interim Facilities Agreement was terminated upon the execution of the Bridge Credit Agreement for the Debt Financing. The Bridge Credit Agreement is included within William Hill’s non-U.S. operations which is expected to be divested. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of prior year presentations have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Marketing and promotions expense previously disclosed for the three months ended March 31, 2020 has been reclassified to Casino and pari-mutuel commissions expense and General and administrative expense based on the nature of the expense. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period. See Note 15 for a listing of properties included in each segment and the determination of our segments. The presentation of financial information herein for the period after the Company’s acquisition of Former Caesars on July 20, 2020 is not fully comparable to the periods prior to the acquisition. In addition, the presentation of financial information herein for the periods after the Company’s sales of various properties are not fully comparable to the periods prior to their respective sale dates. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Merger and related transactions and Note 3 for properties recently sold or currently held for sale. Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities Our consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Caesars and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby (i) affiliates that are more than 50% owned are consolidated; (ii) investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method where we have determined that we have significant influence over the entities; and (iii) investments in affiliates of 20% or less are generally accounted for as investments in equity securities. We consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the results of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We review our investments for VIE consideration if a reconsideration event occurs to determine if the investment continues to qualify as a VIE. If we determine an investment no longer qualifies as a VIE, there may be a material effect to our financial statements. Consolidation of Korea Joint Venture The Company had a joint venture to acquire, develop, own, and operate a casino resort project in Incheon, South Korea (the “Korea JV”). We determined that the Korea JV was a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary, and therefore, we had consolidated the Korea JV into our financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, the assets and liabilities of the Korea JV were classified as held for sale and consisted of $130 million of Property and equipment and other assets and $130 million of current and other long-term liabilities. We sold our interest in the Korea JV on January 21, 2021 and derecognized its assets and liabilities from our Balance Sheets. There was no gain or loss associated with the sale. Recent Developments Related to COVID-19 In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and has since spread throughout much of the world, including the U.S. All of the Company’s casino properties were temporarily closed for the period from mid-March 2020 through mid-May 2020 due to orders issued by various government agencies and tribal bodies as part of certain precautionary measures intended to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The Company has resumed certain operations at substantially all of our properties as of March 31, 2021, with the exception of Lake Charles which was severely damaged by Hurricane Laura (See Note 8), and many of our international properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, most of our properties have experienced positive trends as restrictions on maximum capacities and amenities available are eased. The Company continued to pay its full-time employees through April 10, 2020, including tips and tokens. Effective April 11, 2020, the Company furloughed approximately 90% of its employees, implemented salary reductions and committed to continue to provide benefits to its employees through their furloughed period. A portion of the Company’s workforce has returned to service as the properties have resumed operations with limited capacities and in compliance with operating restrictions imposed by governmental or tribal orders, directives, and guidelines. Due to a triggering event resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Company recognized impairment charges of $116 million related to goodwill and trade names during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The COVID-19 public health emergency has had, and continues to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result, the terms of our debt arrangements provide that the financial covenant measurement period is not effective through September 30, 2021, so long as we comply with a minimum liquidity requirement. See Note 9. In addition, on March 19, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against its insurance carriers for losses attributed to COVID-19 public health emergency. See Note 8. Although the Company is experiencing positive operating trends thus far in 2021, the extent of the ongoing and future effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency on the Company’s business and the casino resort industry generally is uncertain. The extent and duration of the negative impact of COVID-19 public health emergency will ultimately depend on future developments, including but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, restrictions on operations imposed by governmental authorities, the potential for authorities reimposing stay at home orders or additional restrictions in response to continued developments with the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Company’s ability to adapt to evolving operating procedures, the impact on consumer demand and discretionary spending, the length of time it takes for demand to return, the efficacy and availability of vaccines, and the Company’s ability to adjust its cost structures for the duration of the outbreak’s effect on its operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which did not have a material effect on our financial statements: • ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General The following ASUs were not implemented as of March 31, 2021: Previously Disclosed In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in this update are intended to provide relief to the companies that have contracts, hedging relationships or other transactions that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate which is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 and companies may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is evaluating the qualitative and quantitative effect the new guidance will have on its Financial Statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging. This update amends guidance on convertible instruments and the guidance on derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments for convertible instruments reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. In addition, the amendments provide guidance on instruments that will continue to be subject to separation models and improves disclosure for convertible instruments and guidance for earnings per share. Furthermore, the update amends guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments should be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or a fully retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on its Financial Statements.

Acquisitions and Purchase Price Accounting	Note 2. Acquisitions and Purchase Price Accounting Merger with Caesars Entertainment Corporation On July 20, 2020, the Merger was consummated and Former Caesars became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The strategic rationale for the Merger includes, but is not limited to, the following: • Creation of the largest owner, operator and manager of domestic gaming assets • Diversification of the Company’s domestic footprint • Access to iconic brands, rewards programs and new gaming opportunities expected to enhance customer experience • Realization of significant identified synergies The total purchase consideration for Former Caesars was $10.9 billion. The estimated purchase consideration in the acquisition was determined with reference to its acquisition date fair value. (In millions) Consideration Cash consideration paid $ 6,090 Shares issued to Former Caesars shareholders (a) 2,381 Cash paid to retire Former Caesars debt 2,356 Other consideration paid 48 Total purchase consideration $ 10,875 (a) Former Caesars common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately 0.3085 shares of Company Common Stock, with a value equal to approximately $12.41 in cash (based on the volume weighted average price per share of Company Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on July 16, 2020). Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The fair values are based on management’s analysis including preliminary work performed by third party valuation specialists, which are subject to finalization over the one-year measurement period. The purchase price accounting for Former Caesars is preliminary as it relates to determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and is subject to change. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Former Caesars, with the excess recorded as goodwill as of March 31, 2021: (In millions) Fair Value Current and other assets $ 4,149 Property and equipment 12,691 Goodwill 8,928 Intangible assets (a) 3,364 Other noncurrent assets 676 Total assets $ 29,808 Current liabilities $ 1,844 Financing obligation 8,149 Long-term debt 6,591 Noncurrent liabilities 2,331 Total liabilities 18,915 Noncontrolling interests 18 Net assets acquired $ 10,875 ____________________ (a) Intangible assets consist of gaming rights valued at $388 million, trade names valued at $2.1 billion, Caesars Rewards programs valued at $523 million and customer relationships valued at $403 million. As noted above, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to a measurement period and our estimates as of December 31, 2020 have been revised as of March 31, 2021. The net impact of these changes in our preliminary valuations was a $6 million increase to goodwill, $8 million increase to current liabilities and $2 million decrease to noncurrent liabilities. The effect of these revisions during the quarter did not have any impact on our Statements of Operations. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the market, income, and cost approaches, or a combination. Valuation methodologies under both a market and income approach used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the Former Caesars acquisition make use of Level 3 inputs, such as expected cash flows and projected financial results. The market approach indicates value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. Trade receivables and payables and other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented the estimated fair value of those items at the Former Caesars acquisition date. Assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, based on the agreements reached as of the acquisition date, or an income approach. Certain financial assets acquired were determined to have experienced more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination. A reconciliation of the difference between the purchase price of financial assets, including acquired markers, and the face value of the assets is as follows: (In millions) Purchase price of financial assets $ 95 Allowance for credit losses at the acquisition date based on the acquirer’s assessment 89 Discount (premium) attributable to other factors 2 Face value of financial assets $ 186 The fair value of land was determined using the sales comparable approach. The market data is then adjusted for any significant differences, to the extent known, between the identified comparable sites and the site being valued. The value of building and site improvements was estimated via the income approach. Other personal property assets such as furniture, gaming and computer equipment, fixtures, computer software, and restaurant equipment were valued using the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset. The cost approach is an estimation of fair value developed by computing the current cost of replacing a property and subtracting any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following factors: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence. Non-amortizing intangible assets acquired primarily include trademarks, Caesars Rewards and gaming rights. The fair value for these intangible assets was determined using either the relief from royalty method and excess earnings method under the income approach or a replacement cost market approach. Trademarks and Caesars Rewards were valued using the relief from royalty method, which presumes that without ownership of such trademarks or loyalty program, the Company would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name or program. By virtue of this asset, the Company avoids any such payments and records the related intangible value of the Company’s ownership of the brand name or program. The acquired trademarks, including Caesars Rewards are indefinite lived intangible assets. Customer relationships are valued using an income approach, comparing the prospective cash flows with and without the customer relationships in place to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships, with the fair value assumed to be equal to the discounted cash flows of the business that would be lost if the customer relationships were not in place and needed to be replaced. We estimate the useful life of these customer relationships to be approximately seven years from the Merger date. Gaming rights include our gaming licenses in various jurisdictions and may have indefinite lives or an estimated useful life. The fair value of the gaming rights was determined using the excess earnings or replacement cost methodology, based on whether the license resides in gaming jurisdictions where competition is limited to a specified number of licensed gaming operators. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the gaming license intangible asset, which is net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. The replacement cost of the gaming license was used as an indicator of fair value. The acquired gaming rights have indefinite lives, with the exception of one jurisdiction in which we estimate the useful life of the license to be approximately 34 years. Goodwill is the result of expected synergies from the operations of the combined company and the assembled workforce of Former Caesars. The final assignment of goodwill to our reporting units has not been completed. The goodwill acquired will not generate amortization deductions for income tax purposes. The fair value of long-term debt has been calculated based on market quotes. The fair value of the financing obligations were calculated as the net present value of both the fixed base rent payments and the forecasted variable payments plus the expected residual value of the land and building returned at the end of the expected usage period. The Company recognized acquisition-related transaction costs in connection with the Merger of $12 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs were associated with legal, IT costs, internal labor and professional services and were recorded in Transaction costs and other operating costs in our Statements of Operations. For the period of January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021, the properties of Former Caesars generated net revenues of $1.3 billion, excluding discontinued operations, and net loss of $482 million. Acquisition of William Hill On April 22, 2021, we completed the previously announced acquisition of William Hill PLC for cash consideration of approximately £2.9 billion, or approximately $4.0 billion, based on the GBP:USD exchange rate on the closing date . Currently, William Hill PLC’s U.S. subsidiary, William Hill U.S. Holdco (“William Hill US” and together with William Hill PLC, “William Hill”) operates 37 sportsbooks at our properties in eight states (see Note 4) and, following the William Hill Acquisition, Caesars and William Hill will conduct sports wagering across 17 states across the U.S. plus the District of Columbia. Additionally, we will operate regulated online real money gaming businesses in four states — Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan — and continue to leverage the World Series of Poker (“WSOP”) brand, and license the WSOP trademarks for a variety of products and services. Extensive usage of digital platforms and growing bettor demand are driving the market for online sports betting platforms in the U.S. and the William Hill Acquisition positions us to address this growing market. The Company intends to divest the non-U.S. operations including the UK and international online divisions and the retail betting shops. The Company previously held an equity interest in William Hill PLC and William Hill US (see Note 4). Accordingly, the acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages, or a “step acquisition.” The major classes of assets acquired include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, property and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets. The major classes of liabilities assumed include trade and other accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt and other liabilities. Certain of the net assets of William Hill are the result of transactions with Caesars. Such net assets will be assessed and may be eliminated in connection with the William Hill Acquisition. Given the short period of time from the acquisition completion date and the date of these consolidated condensed financial statements, and the size and complexity of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at this time. The Company is not able to provide the valuation of certain components of consideration transferred or provide the allocation of consideration paid to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed. Supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined company are predicated on the completion of the business combination accounting and allocation of consideration. The Company recognized acquisition-related transaction costs of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale	Assets Held for Sale The Company periodically divests assets that it does not consider core to its business to raise capital or, in some cases, to comply with conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions imposed by antitrust, gaming and other regulatory entities. The carrying value of the net assets held for sale are compared to the expected selling price and any expected losses are recorded immediately. Gains or losses associated with the disposal of assets held for sale are recorded within other operating costs, unless the assets represent a discontinued operation. Held for sale - Continuing operations MontBleu, Evansville and Baton Rouge On April 6, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of the equity interests of MontBleu Casino Resort & Spa (“MontBleu”) to Bally’s Corporation (formerly Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc.) for $15 million, subject to a customary working capital adjustment, resulting in a loss of approximately $2 million. The purchase price for MontBleu is due no later than the first anniversary of the consummation of the transaction. MontBleu’s assets and liabilities were held for sale as of March 31, 2021, and the results of operations are included in income from continuing operations in the periods presented. As a result of the execution of the agreement to sell MontBleu, an impairment charge totaling $45 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to the carrying value exceeding the estimated net sales proceeds. The impairment charges resulted in a reduction to the carrying amounts of the right-of-use assets, property and equipment, and goodwill and other intangibles totaling $18 million, $23 million and $4 million, respectively. MontBleu was within the Regional segment. On July 16, 2020, in connection with its review of the Merger, the Indiana Gaming Commission determined as a condition to their approval of the Merger that the Company will be required to divest three properties within the state of Indiana in order to avoid undue economic concentration.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates	. Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates William Hill The Company entered into a 25-year agreement, which became effective January 29, 2019, with William Hill which granted to William Hill the right to conduct betting activities, including operating our sportsbooks, in retail channels under certain skins for online channels with respect to the Company’s current and future properties, and conduct certain real money online gaming activities. The Company received a 20% ownership interest in William Hill US as well as 13 million ordinary shares of William Hill PLC, which shares initially received were subject to restrictions on transfer. The time restrictions on approximately 6 million shares expire within the next twelve months and are classified as current. Additionally, the Company receives a profit share from the operations of sports betting and other gaming activities associated with the Company’s properties. “Skin” in the context of this agreement refers to the Company’s ability to grant to William Hill an online channel that allows William Hill to operate online casino and sports gaming activities in reliance on, and utilizing the benefit of, any licenses granted to the Company or its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s receivable from William Hill totaled $13 million and $7 million, respectively, and is reflected in Due from affiliates on the Balance Sheets. The Company is accounting for its investment in William Hill US under the equity method. The fair value of the Company’s initial investment in William Hill US of $129 million at January 29, 2019 was determined using Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s interest in William Hill US totaled $126 million and $128 million, respectively, and is recorded in Investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheets. The Company is accounting for its investment in William Hill PLC as an investment in equity securities. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the William Hill PLC shares totaled $45 million and $44 million, respectively, net of cumulative unrealized gains of $18 million and $17 million, respectively, and is included in Other assets, net on the Balance Sheets. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1 million and an unrealized loss of $19 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As described above, the Company granted William Hill the right to the use of certain skins to operate online sports betting operations through our market access in each state and operate retail sports betting in our current and future properties for an equity method investment. The fair value of the William Hill US and William Hill PLC shares received have been deferred and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the 25-year agreement term. The Company recognized revenue of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and is recorded in Other revenue in the Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of the William Hill deferred revenue totaled $132 million and $134 million, respectively, and is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the Balance Sheets. On April 22, 2021, the Company consummated its previously announced acquisition of William Hill PLC in an all-cash transaction. See Note 1. The investments and transactions among Caesars and William Hill described above will be assessed as part of the consideration transferred and the allocation of the purchase price. See Note 2. Pompano Joint Venture In April 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Cordish Companies (“Cordish”) to plan and develop a mixed-use entertainment and hospitality destination expected to be located on unused land adjacent to the casino and racetrack at the Company’s Pompano property. As the managing member, Cordish will operate the business and manage the development, construction, financing, marketing, leasing, maintenance and day-to-day operation of the various phases of the project. Additionally, Cordish will be responsible for the development of the master plan for the project with the Company’s input and will submit it for the Company’s review and approval. The Company has made cash contributions totaling $1 million and has contributed land. On February 12, 2021, the Company contributed an additional 186 acres to the joint venture for a fair value of $61 million. Total contributions of approximately 206 acres of land have been made with a fair value of approximately $69 million, and the Company has no further obligation to contribute additional real estate or cash as of March 31, 2021. We entered into a short-term lease agreement in February 2021, which we can cancel at anytime, to lease back a portion of the land from the joint venture. While the Company holds a 50% variable interest in the joint venture, it is not the primary beneficiary; as such the investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. The Company participates evenly with Cordish in the profits and losses of the joint venture, which are included in Transaction costs and other operating costs on the Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s investment in the joint venture is recorded in Investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net	Goodwill and Intangible Assets, netThe purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company determines the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is recorded as goodwill.

Restricted Cash and Investments The estimated fair values of the Company’s restricted cash and investments are based upon quoted prices available in active markets (Level 1), or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), or quoted prices available in active markets adjusted for time restrictions related to the sale of the investment (Level 3) and represent the amounts the Company would expect to receive if the Company sold the restricted cash and investments. Restricted cash classified as Level 1 includes cash held in short-term certificate of deposit accounts or money market type funds. Restricted investments include shares acquired in conjunction with the Company’s sports betting agreements that contain restrictions related to the ability to liquidate shares within a specified timeframe. Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary and unrestricted shares acquired in conjunction with the Company’s sports betting agreements. These investments also include collateral for several escrow and trust agreements with third-party beneficiaries. The estimated fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined on an individual asset basis based upon quoted prices of identical assets available in active markets (Level 1), quoted prices of identical assets in inactive markets, or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), and represent the amounts the Company would expect to receive if the Company sold these marketable securities. In November 2018, the Company entered into a 20-year agreement with The Stars Group Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Flutter Entertainment PLC (“Flutter”) to provide options to obtain access to a second skin for online sports wagering and third skin for real money online gaming and poker with respect to the Company’s properties in the U.S. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received common shares, as a revenue share from certain operations of Flutter under the Company’s licenses. The fair value of the shares received has been deferred and is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the 20-year agreement term. All shares initially received were subject to a one year restriction on transfer from the date they are received. All shares held are unrestricted as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of shares held was $10 million, and is included in Prepayments and other current assets on the Balance Sheets. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of less than a million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and an unrealized loss of $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were included in Other income (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Derivative Instruments The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 5% Convertible Notes - Derivative Liability On October 6, 2017, Former Caesars issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Notes. The 5% Convertible Notes are convertible into approximately 0.014 shares of Company Common Stock and $1.17 of cash per $1.00 principal amount of 5% Convertible Notes. The 5% Convertible Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof or the Company. We do not intend to exercise our option to convert these notes prior to maturity. Conversion of the remaining $325 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5% Convertible Notes, of which $10 million was held in trust as of March 31, 2021, would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 4.5 million shares of Company Common Stock and payment of $379 million. The 5% Convertible Notes mature in October 2024 and have a remaining life of approximately 3.5 years. Management analyzed the conversion features for derivative accounting consideration under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , (“ASC 815”) and determined that the 5% Convertible Notes contain bifurcated derivative features and qualify for derivative accounting. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion features of the 5% Convertible Notes and recorded a derivative liability. The 5% Convertible Notes derivative features are not designated as hedging instruments. The derivative features of the 5% Convertible Notes are carried on the Company’s Balance Sheets at fair value in Other long-term liabilities. The derivative liability is marked-to-market each period and the change in fair value, which is primarily due to fluctuations in the share price of our common stock, is recorded as a component of Other income (loss) in the Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the change in fair value resulted in a loss of $151 million. The derivative liability associated with the 5% Convertible Notes will remain in effect until such time as the underlying convertible notes are exercised or terminated and the resulting derivative liability will be reclassified from a liability to equity as of such date. Valuation Methodology The 5% Convertible Notes had an initial face value of $1.1 billion, an initial term of seven years, and a coupon rate of 5%. As of March 31, 2021 we estimated the fair value of the 5% Convertible Notes using a market-based approach that incorporated the value of both the straight debt and conversion features of the 5% Convertible Notes. The valuation model incorporated actively traded prices of the 5% Convertible Notes as of the reporting date, and assumptions regarding the incremental cost of borrowing for CEI. The key assumption used in the valuation model is the actively traded price of the 5% Convertible Notes and the incremental cost of borrowing is an indirectly observable input. The fair value for the conversion features of the 5% Convertible Notes is classified as Level 2 measurement. Key Assumptions as of March 31, 2021: • Actively traded price of 5% Convertible Notes - $254.05 • Incremental cost of borrowing - 4.3% Forward contracts In relation to the William Hill Acquisition, on September 28, 2020, the Company entered into a foreign exchange forward contract to hedge the risk of appreciation of the GBP denominated purchase price. On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a foreign exchange forward contract to purchase £536 million at a contracted exchange rate. On March 25, 2021, the forward contract was settled, for which the Company received $41 million in proceeds. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was recorded in the Other income (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Interest Rate Swap Derivatives We assumed Former Caesars interest rate swaps to manage the mix of assumed debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of March 31, 2021, we have seven interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $2.3 billion of variable rate debt related to the Caesars Resort Collection (“CRC”) Credit Agreement. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense at settlement. Changes in the variable interest rates to be received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2021 are as follows: Effective Date Notional Amount (In millions) Fixed Rate Paid Variable Rate Received as of Maturity Date 1/1/2019 250 2.196% 0.1145% 12/31/2021 12/31//2018 250 2.274% 0.1145% 12/31/2022 1/1/2019 400 2.788% 0.1145% 12/31/2021 12/31//2018 200 2.828% 0.1145% 12/31/2022 1/1/2019 200 2.828% 0.1145% 12/31/2022 12/31//2018 600 2.739% 0.1145% 12/31/2022 1/2/2019 400 2.707% 0.1145% 12/31/2021 Valuation Methodology The estimated fair values of our interest rate swap derivative instruments are derived from market prices obtained from dealer quotes for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate swap derivative instruments are included in either Other assets, net or Other long-term liabilities on our Balance Sheets. Our derivatives are recorded at their fair values, adjusted for the credit rating of the counterparty if the derivative is an asset, or adjusted for the credit rating of the Company if the derivative is a liability. None of our derivative instruments are offset and all were classified as Level 2. Financial Statement Effect The effect of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments on the Balance Sheets for amounts transferred into Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) before tax was a gain of $15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. AOCI reclassified to Interest expense on the Statements of Operations was $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate swaps derivative liability of $75 million was recorded in Other long-term liabilities. Net settlement of these interest rate swaps results in the reclassification of deferred gains and losses within AOCI to be reclassified to the income statement as a component of interest expense as settlements occur. The estimated amount of existing gains or losses that are reported in AOCI at the reporting date that are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is approximately $52 million. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The changes in AOCI by component, net of tax, for the period through March 31, 2021 are shown below.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies	. Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies Litigation We are a party to various legal proceedings. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings will not materially impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to mitigate the risks of such proceedings, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters. On July 14, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit for damages and declaratory relief in state court in New York relating to a transfer fee of $50 million that was assessed by the Indiana Gaming Commission upon the Company’s purchase of Hoosier Park Racino and Casino in 2017 from Centaur Holdings, LLC. Contemporaneous with the filing of the lawsuit, the Company notified the sellers that it was withholding payment of $50 million from amounts that were otherwise due to the sellers as a portion of a deferred payment for the purchase from the sellers. In the lawsuit, the Company seeks a declaration from the Court that the Sellers are required to indemnify Caesars for its losses arising out of or relating to payment of the transfer fee and that the Company is entitled to offset the $50 million transfer fee against payments otherwise due to the sellers. The Defendants in that suit have filed Motions to Dismiss the Company’s claims. Briefing on the Motion has been concluded and the parties await a decision from the Court. COVID-19 Insurance Claims The COVID-19 public health emergency has had a significant impact on the Company’s business and employees, as well as the communities where the Company operates and serves. The Company purchased broad property insurance coverage to protect against “all risk of physical loss or damage” and resulting business interruption, unless specifically excluded by policies. The Company submitted claims for losses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency which are expected to exceed $2 billion. The insurance carriers under the Company’s insurance policies have asserted that the policies do not cover losses incurred by the Company as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency and have refused to make payments under the applicable policies. Therefore, on March 19, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against its insurance carriers in the state court in Clark County, Nevada. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the litigation. General In addition, we are a party to various legal and administrative proceedings, which have arisen in the normal course of our business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to our consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations. Contractual Commitments The following contractual commitments were assumed by the Company associated with Former Caesars as result of the consummation of the Merger. Capital Commitments Harrah’s New Orleans In April 2020, the Company and the State of Louisiana, by and through the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (the “LGCB”), entered into an Amended and Restated Casino Operating Contract. Additionally, the Company, New Orleans Building Corporation (“NOBC”) and the City (collectively, the “Ground Lease Parties”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (the “Ground Lease”). Based on these amendments related to Harrah’s New Orleans, the Company is required to make certain payments and to make a capital investment of $325 million on or around Harrah’s New Orleans by July 15, 2024. In connection with the capital investment in Harrah’s New Orleans, we expect to rebrand the property as Caesars New Orleans. Atlantic City As required by the New Jersey Gaming Control Board in connection with its approval of the Merger, we have funded $400 million in escrow to provide funds for a three year capital expenditure plan in the state of New Jersey. This amount is currently included in restricted cash. As of March 31, 2021, our restricted cash balance in the escrow account is $376 million for future capital expenditures in New Jersey. Sports Sponsorship/Partnership Obligations We have agreements with certain professional sports leagues and teams, sporting event facilities and sports television networks for tickets, suites, and advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities. As of March 31, 2021, obligations related to these agreements were $289 million with contracts extending through 2035, which include leasing of event suites that are generally considered short term leases for which we do not record a right of use asset or lease liability. We recognize expenses in the period services are rendered in accordance with the various agreements. In addition, assets or liabilities may be recorded related to the timing of payments as required by the respective agreement. Self-Insurance We are self-insured for workers compensation and other risk insurance, as well as health insurance and general liability. Our total estimated self-insurance liability was $227 million and $223 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, recorded in Accrued other liabilities in our Balance Sheets. Due to the novel nature of the disruption resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency, actuarial data is limited for determining its effect. The assumptions utilized by our actuaries are subject to significant uncertainty and if outcomes differ from these assumptions or events develop or progress in a negative manner, the Company could experience a material adverse effect and additional liabilities may be recorded in the future. Alternatively, as a result of the recent work stoppages and reductions in workforce, a reduction of claims in future periods could be beneficial to our financial condition and results of operations. Contingencies Uncertainties Since 2009, Harrah’s New Orleans has undergone audits by state and local departments of revenue related to sales taxes on hotel rooms, parking and entertainment complimentaries. The periods that have been or are currently being audited are 2004 through 2016. In connection with these audits, certain periods have been paid under protest or are currently in various stages of litigation. On July 2, 2019, the judge denied Harrah’s New Orleans’ motion for partial summary judgment and granted the Department of Revenue’s (the “Department”) partial motion for summary judgment, finding that Harrah’s New Orleans owes state sales taxes, as well as district and New Orleans occupancy taxes to the Department on all discounted or complimentary rooms furnished by Harrah’s New Orleans to patrons or guests at Harrah’s New Orleans hotel and certain third party hotels. Caesars appealed the trial Court’s decision to the Louisiana Court of Appeal, which Appeal was rejected. Caesars has since petitioned to the Louisiana Supreme Court for review of the Appeals Court’s decision. On January 9, 2021, the Louisiana Supreme Court issued a ruling granting in part and denying in part the Company’s Petition for Appeal. In its decision, the Supreme Court upheld the lower Courts’ decisions that the Company must pay taxes for complimentaries at Harrah’s New Orleans, but overturned the lower Courts’ rulings that the Company must pay such taxes for third party hotels. This matter will now proceed to trial for a determination of the amount of taxes due pursuant to the Louisiana Supreme Court’s ruling. Former Caesars paid $9 million under protest and is being held in escrow by the Department. Harrah’s New Orleans had accrued contingent liabilities of $44 million as of March 31, 2021. Weather disruption - Lake Charles On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura made landfall on Lake Charles as a Category 4 storm severely damaging the Isle of Capri Casino Lake Charles. During the three months ended as of March 31, 2021, t he Company received insurance proceeds of approximately $26 million related to damaged fixed assets and remediation costs. The Company also recorded a gain of approximately $8 million as proceeds received were in excess of the losses incurred and the net book value of the damaged property. The property will remain closed until 2022 when construction of a new land-based casino is expected to be complete.

Debt Discounts or Premiums and Deferred Finance Charges Debt discounts or premiums and deferred finance charges incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements primarily using the effective interest method. Unamortized discounts are written off and included in our gain or loss calculations to the extent we extinguish debt prior to its original maturity date. Fair Value The fair value of debt has been calculated primarily based on the borrowing rates available as of March 31, 2021 and based on market quotes of our publicly traded debt. We classify the fair value of debt within Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Terms of Outstanding Debt Debt Covenant Compliance The CRC Credit Agreement, the CEI Revolving Credit Facility, and the indentures governing the CEI Senior Secured Notes, the CEI Senior Notes, the CRC Senior Secured Notes and the CRC Notes contain covenants which are standard and customary for these types of agreements. These include negative covenants, which, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to (among other items) incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make restricted payments, including dividends, grant liens, sell assets and make acquisitions. The indenture for the 5% Convertible Notes contains limited covenants as a result of amendments that became effective in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The CRC Revolving Credit Facility and CEI Revolving Credit Facility include a maximum first-priority net senior secured leverage ratio financial covenant of 6.35:1, which is applicable solely to the extent that certain testing conditions are satisfied. Failure to comply with such covenants could result in an acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under the relevant debt document. The Company’s results of operations have been materially adversely affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency. As a result, the current terms of the CEI Revolving Credit Facility, the CRC Credit Agreement provide that the financial covenant measurement period is not effective through September 30, 2021 so long as the Company and CRC, respectively, comply with a minimum liquidity requirement, which includes any such availability under the applicable revolving credit facilities. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the applicable financial covenants described above. Guarantees The CEI Revolving Credit Facility and the CEI Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each existing and future material wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of CEI (subject to certain exceptions) and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of CEI and its subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exceptions). The CEI Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by such subsidiaries. The CRC Credit Agreement and the CRC Senior Secured Notes are guarantees on a senior secured basis by each existing and future material wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of CRC (subject to certain exceptions) and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of CRC and its subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exceptions). The CRC Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by such subsidiaries.

The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer, (2) player loyalty program obligations, subsequently combined as Caesars Rewards, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to reward credits granted to Caesars Rewards members based on on-property spending, including gaming, hotel, dining, retail shopping, and player loyalty program incentives earned, and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue, which is primarily funds deposited by customers related to gaming play, advance payments received for goods and services yet to be provided (such as advance ticket sales, deposits on rooms and convention space or for unpaid wagers), and deferred revenues associated with the Company’s existing interests in William Hill (see Note 4). Except for deferred revenues related to William Hill, these liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within accrued other liabilities on the Company’s Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the activity related to contract and contract-related liabilities: Outstanding Chip Liability Caesars Rewards Customer Deposits and Other (In millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Balance at January 1 $ 32 $ 10 $ 94 $ 13 $ 278 $ 172 Balance at March 31 28 7 93 12 298 172 Increase / (decrease) $ (4) $ (3) $ (1) $ (1) $ 20 $ — The March 31, 2021 balances exclude liabilities related to assets held for sale recorded in 2021 and 2020 (see Note 3). Lease Revenue Lodging Arrangements Lodging arrangements are considered short-term and generally consist of lease and nonlease components. The lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and consists of the fees charged for lodging. The nonlease components primarily consist of resort fees and other miscellaneous items. As the timing and pattern of transfer of both the lease and nonlease components are over the course of the lease term, we have elected to combine the revenue generated from lease and nonlease components into a single lease component based on the predominant component in the arrangement. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized approximately $215 million and $48 million, respectively, in lease revenue related to lodging arrangements, which is included in Hotel revenues in the Statements of Operations. Conventions Convention arrangements are considered short-term and generally consist of lease and nonlease components. The lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and consists of fees charged for the use of meeting space. The nonlease components primarily consist of food and beverage and audio/visual services. Revenue from conventions is included in Other revenue in the Statements of Operations, and during the three months ended March 31, 2021, lease revenue related to conventions was not material. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, lease revenue related to conventions was $1 million. Real Estate Operating Leases During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized approximately $21 million and $2 million, respectively, of real estate lease revenue, which is included in Other revenue in the Statements of Operations. Real estate lease revenue includes $7 million of variable rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and less than a million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders’ Equity	. Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders’ Equity Stock-Based Awards The Company maintains long-term incentive plans which allow for granting stock-based compensation awards for directors, employees, officers, and consultants or advisers who render services to the Company or its subsidiaries, based on Company Common Stock, including performance-based and incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), market-based performance stock units (“MSUs”), stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards or dividend equivalents. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. Total stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations totaled $23 million and $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are included in corporate expenses and, in the case of certain property positions, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Statements of Operations. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) During the three months ended March 31, 2021, as part of the annual incentive program, the Company granted 568 thousand RSUs to employees of the Company with an aggregate fair value of $39 million and a ratable vesting period of three years. Each RSU represents the right to receive payment in respect of one share of the Company’s Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company also granted 79 thousand PSUs that are scheduled to vest in three years. On the vesting date, recipients will receive between 0% and 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, in the form of CEI common stock, based on the achievement of specified performance and service conditions. The fair value of the PSUs is based on the market price of our common stock when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the awards between the Company and recipient is achieved. The awards are remeasured each period until such an understanding is reached. The aggregate value of PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $7 million. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted 146 thousand MSUs that are scheduled to cliff vest in three years. On the vesting date, recipients will receive between 0% and 200% of the target number of MSUs granted, in the form of Company Common Stock, based on the achievement of specified market and service conditions. The grant date fair value of the MSUs was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions for the Monte-Carlo simulation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividends and correlation coefficient. The effect of market conditions is considered in determining the grant date fair value, which is not subsequently revised based on actual performance. The aggregate value of MSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $15 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no grants of stock options and 13 thousand stock options were exercised. In addition, 407 thousand, 143 thousand and 100 thousand of RSUs, PSUs and MSUs, respectively, vested under the 2015 plan.

(b) PSUs were presented with RSUs as of December 31, 2020 in the 2020 Annual Report. Share Repurchase Program In November 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $150 million common stock repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase shares of common stock on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The Share Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. There is no minimum number of shares of common stock that the Company is required to repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has acquired 223,823 shares of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an aggregate value of $9 million and an average of $40.80 per share. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The accrual amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. We have provided a valuation allowance on certain federal, state and foreign deferred tax assets that were not deemed realizable based upon estimates of future taxable income. As a result of the Merger, the Company acquired $770 million of additional net deferred tax liabilities net of necessary valuation allowances, plus $24 million in additional accruals for uncertain tax positions. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to nondeductible expenses related to the convertible notes liability. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the expected income tax expense based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to goodwill impairments and changes in the valuation allowance, offset by the true-up of certain state tax benefits and state and local income taxes. The Company, including its subsidiaries, files tax returns with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company does not have tax sharing agreements with the other members within its consolidated group. The Company is subject to exam by various state and foreign tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next 12 months.

Prior to the Merger, our principal operating activities occurred in five geographic regions and reportable segments: West, Midwest, South, East and Central, in addition to Corporate and Other. Following the Merger, the Company’s principal operating activities occur in three regionally-focused reportable segments. The reportable segments are based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments with the way management assesses these results and allocates resources, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the effect of certain transactions between these reportable segments within Caesars: (1) Las Vegas, (2) Regional, and (3) Managed, International, CIE, in addition to Corporate and Other. See table below for a summary of these segments. Also, see Note 3 and Note 6 for a discussion of the impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets related to certain segments. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our properties (listed by segment in which each property is reported) as of March 31, 2021: Las Vegas Regional Managed, International, CIE Bally’s Las Vegas (a) Eldorado Resort Casino Reno Harrah’s Atlantic City (a) Managed Caesars Palace Las Vegas (a) Silver Legacy Resort Casino Harrah’s Laughlin (a) Harrah’s Ak-Chin (a) The Cromwell (a) Circus Circus Reno Harrah’s New Orleans (a) Harrah’s Cherokee (a) Flamingo Las Vegas (a) MontBleu Casino Resort & Spa (c) Hoosier Park (a) Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River (a) Harrah’s Las Vegas (a) Tropicana Laughlin Hotel & Casino Indiana Grand (a) Harrah’s Resort Southern California (a) The LINQ Hotel & Casino (a) Isle Casino Hotel - Black Hawk Caesars Atlantic City (a) Horseshoe Baltimore (a)(h) Paris Las Vegas (a) Lady Luck Casino - Black Hawk Caesars Southern Indiana (a)(b)(e) Caesars Windsor (a) Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino (a) Isle Casino Waterloo Harrah’s Council Bluffs (a) Kings & Queens Casino (a) Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino (a) Isle Casino Bettendorf Harrah’s Gulf Coast (a) Caesars Dubai (a) Isle of Capri Casino Boonville Harrah’s Joliet (a) International Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park Harrah’s Lake Tahoe (a) Caesars Cairo (a)(b) Isle of Capri Casino Hotel Lake Charles Harrah’s Louisiana Downs (a)(b)(g) Ramses Casino (a)(b) Belle of Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel (i) Harrah’s Metropolis (a) Emerald Casino Resort (a)(b) Isle of Capri Casino Lula Harrah’s North Kansas City (a) Alea Glasgow (a)(b) Trop Casino Greenville Harrah’s Philadelphia (a) Alea Nottingham (a)(b) Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs Harveys Lake Tahoe (a) The Empire Casino (a)(b) Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City Horseshoe Bossier City (a) Manchester235 (a)(b) Grand Victoria Casino Horseshoe Council Bluffs (a) Playboy Club London (a)(b) Lumière Place Casino Horseshoe Hammond (a)(b)(f) Rendezvous Brighton (a)(b) Tropicana Evansville (d) Horseshoe Tunica (a) The Sportsman (a)(b) CIE Caesars Interactive Entertainment (a) ___________________ (a) These properties were acquired from the Merger on July 20, 2020.

(f) The Company plans to enter into an agreement to sell Horseshoe Hammond prior to December 31, 2021. (g) On September 3, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Harrah’s Louisiana Downs, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. (h) As of March 31, 2021, Horseshoe Baltimore was 44.3% owned by us and held as an equity-method investment. (i) On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Belle of Baton Rouge, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. In addition to our properties listed above, other domestic and international properties, including Harrah’s Northern California, are authorized to use the brands and marks of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Additionally, certain of our properties operate off-track betting locations, including Hoosier Park, which operates Winner’s Circle Indianapolis and Winner’s Circle New Haven, and Indiana Grand, which operates Winner’s Circle Clarksville. The LINQ Promenade is an open-air dining, entertainment, and retail promenade located on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip next to The LINQ Hotel & Casino (the “LINQ”) that features the High Roller, a 550-foot observation wheel, and the Fly LINQ Zipline attraction. We also own the CAESARS FORUM conference center, which is a 550,000 square feet conference center with 300,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, two of the largest pillarless ballrooms in the world and direct access to the LINQ. “Corporate and Other” includes certain unallocated corporate overhead costs and other adjustments, including eliminations of transactions among segments, to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated results. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating data for the Company’s three reportable segments. We recast previously reported segment amounts to conform to the way management assesses results and allocates resources for the current year. Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 Las Vegas: Net revenues $ 497 $ — Adjusted EBITDA 162 — Regional: Net revenues 1,108 471 Adjusted EBITDA 367 111 Managed, International, CIE: Net revenues 90 — Adjusted EBITDA 15 — Corporate and Other: Net revenues 4 2 Adjusted EBITDA (39) (8) Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA - By Segment to Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Caesars Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a measure of the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenues less operating expenses and is comprised of net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax (benefit) provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance at an operating property level. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is included because management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure performance and allocate resources, and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management. Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 Adjusted EBITDA by Segment: Las Vegas $ 162 $ — Regional 367 111 Managed, International, CIE 15 — Corporate and Other (39) (8) 505 103 Reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to Caesars: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 1 — Net income from discontinued operations 7 — Benefit for income taxes 79 37 Other loss (a) (133) (23) Interest expense, net (563) (67) Depreciation and amortization (265) (50) Impairment charges — (161) Transaction costs and other operating costs (b) (20) (8) Stock-based compensation (23) (6) Other items (c) (11) (1) Net loss attributable to Caesars $ (423) $ (176) ____________________ (a) Other loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily represents a loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liability related to the 5% Convertible Notes slightly offset by a gain on foreign currency exchange and investments held. Other (income) loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily represents change in fair value of the Company’s investments in William Hill PLC. (b) Transaction costs and other operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 primarily represent costs related to the William Hill Acquisition and the Merger, various contract or license termination exit costs, professional services, other acquisition costs and severance costs. (c) Other items primarily represent certain consulting and legal fees, rent for non-operating assets, relocation expenses, and business optimization expenses.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of prior year presentations have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Marketing and promotions expense previously disclosed for the three months ended March 31, 2020 has been reclassified to Casino and pari-mutuel commissions expense and General and administrative expense based on the nature of the expense.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period. See Note 15 for a listing of properties included in each segment and the determination of our segments. The presentation of financial information herein for the period after the Company’s acquisition of Former Caesars on July 20, 2020 is not fully comparable to the periods prior to the acquisition. In addition, the presentation of financial information herein for the periods after the Company’s sales of various properties are not fully comparable to the periods prior to their respective sale dates. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Merger and related transactions and Note 3 for properties recently sold or currently held for sale. Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities Our consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Caesars and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby (i) affiliates that are more than 50% owned are consolidated; (ii) investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method where we have determined that we have significant influence over the entities; and (iii) investments in affiliates of 20% or less are generally accounted for as investments in equity securities. We consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the results of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We review our investments for VIE consideration if a reconsideration event occurs to determine if the investment continues to qualify as a VIE. If we determine an investment no longer qualifies as a VIE, there may be a material effect to our financial statements. Consolidation of Korea Joint Venture The Company had a joint venture to acquire, develop, own, and operate a casino resort project in Incheon, South Korea (the “Korea JV”). We determined that the Korea JV was a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary, and therefore, we had consolidated the Korea JV into our financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, the assets and liabilities of the Korea JV were classified as held for sale and consisted of $130 million of Property and equipment and other assets and $130 million of current and other long-term liabilities. We sold our interest in the Korea JV on January 21, 2021 and derecognized its assets and liabilities from our Balance Sheets. There was no gain or loss associated with the sale.
Recent Developments Related to COVID-19	Recent Developments Related to COVID-19 In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and has since spread throughout much of the world, including the U.S. All of the Company’s casino properties were temporarily closed for the period from mid-March 2020 through mid-May 2020 due to orders issued by various government agencies and tribal bodies as part of certain precautionary measures intended to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The Company has resumed certain operations at substantially all of our properties as of March 31, 2021, with the exception of Lake Charles which was severely damaged by Hurricane Laura (See Note 8), and many of our international properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, most of our properties have experienced positive trends as restrictions on maximum capacities and amenities available are eased. The Company continued to pay its full-time employees through April 10, 2020, including tips and tokens. Effective April 11, 2020, the Company furloughed approximately 90% of its employees, implemented salary reductions and committed to continue to provide benefits to its employees through their furloughed period. A portion of the Company’s workforce has returned to service as the properties have resumed operations with limited capacities and in compliance with operating restrictions imposed by governmental or tribal orders, directives, and guidelines. Due to a triggering event resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Company recognized impairment charges of $116 million related to goodwill and trade names during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The COVID-19 public health emergency has had, and continues to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result, the terms of our debt arrangements provide that the financial covenant measurement period is not effective through September 30, 2021, so long as we comply with a minimum liquidity requirement. See Note 9. In addition, on March 19, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against its insurance carriers for losses attributed to COVID-19 public health emergency. See Note 8.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which did not have a material effect on our financial statements: • ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General The following ASUs were not implemented as of March 31, 2021: Previously Disclosed In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in this update are intended to provide relief to the companies that have contracts, hedging relationships or other transactions that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate which is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 and companies may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is evaluating the qualitative and quantitative effect the new guidance will have on its Financial Statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging. This update amends guidance on convertible instruments and the guidance on derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments for convertible instruments reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. In addition, the amendments provide guidance on instruments that will continue to be subject to separation models and improves disclosure for convertible instruments and guidance for earnings per share. Furthermore, the update amends guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments should be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or a fully retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on its Financial Statements.
