Exhibit 99.1 INVESTOR PRESENTATION
DISCLAIMERS Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation and that may be made in meetings are forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are based on VICI Properties Inc.’s (“VICI or the “Company”) current plans, expectations and projections about future events and are not guarantees of future performance. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate to strictly historical and current facts and by the use of the words such as "expects", "plans", "opportunities" and similar words and variations thereof. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, its results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in or by the forward‐looking statements and may be affected by a variety of risks and other factors including, among others: risks that the pending acquisitions of Greektown Casino-Hotel (“Greektown”) and JACK Cincinnati Casino (“JACK Cincinnati”) may not be consummated on the terms or timeframe described herein, or at all; the ability of the parties to satisfy the conditions set forth in the definitive transaction documents for the pending acquisitions of Greektown and JACK Cincinnati, including the ability to receive, or delays in obtaining, the regulatory and other approvals and/or consents required to consummate the transaction; the terms on which the Company finances the pending transactions, including the source of funds used to finance such transactions; disruptions to the real property and operations of Greektown and JACK Cincinnati during the pendency of the closing; risks that the Company may not achieve the benefits contemplated by our pending and recently completed acquisitions of real estate assets (including any expected accretion or the amount of any future rent payments); risks that not all potential risks and liabilities have been identified in the due diligence for our pending and recently completed transactions; the Company's dependence on subsidiaries of Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“Caesars”) and Penn National Gaming Inc. (“Penn”) as tenants of all of its properties and Caesars and Penn or their subsidiaries as guarantors of the relevant lease payments, and the consequences of any material adverse effect on their respective businesses could have on the Company; the Company's dependence on the gaming industry; the Company's ability to pursue its business and growth strategies may be limited by its substantial debt service requirements and by the requirement that the Company distribute 90% of its real estate investment trust (“REIT”) taxable income in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT and that the Company distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income in order to avoid current entity level U.S. Federal income taxes; the impact of extensive regulation from gaming and other regulatory authorities; the ability of the Company's tenants to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in connection with the operation of the Company's properties; the possibility that the Company’s tenants may choose not to renew their lease agreements with the Company following the initial or subsequent terms of the leases; restrictions on the Company's ability to sell its properties subject to the lease agreements; the Company's indebtedness and ability to service and refinance such indebtedness; the Company's historical and pro forma financial information may not be reliable indicators of its future results of operations and financial condition; limits on the Company's operational and financial flexibility imposed by its debt agreements; and the possibility the Company's separation from Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. fails to qualify as a tax‐free spin‐off, which could subject the Company to significant tax liabilities. Additional important factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position are described from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2018, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‐Q and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward‐looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. Consistent with the definition used by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we define FFO as net income (or loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property plus real estate depreciation. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental operating measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO direct financing lease adjustments, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, other non-cash interest expense, non-real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges and gains (or losses) on debt extinguishment. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from AFFO interest expense, net and income tax expense. These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as measures of liquidity, nor do they measure our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBIDTA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies, including REITs, due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Caesars and CEOC In this presentation, we include Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars (which is the guarantor of the lease payment obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements) and CEOC (subsidiaries of which are tenants under the CPLV, Non-CPLV and Joliet leases (collectively the “Formation Lease Agreements”)) and Adjusted EBITDAR of CEOC, all as reported by Caesars in its publicly available filings with the SEC. Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP financial measure 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) of Caesars or CEOC Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC is defined as net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance at an operating property level, further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Caesars has indicated in its publicly available filings with the SEC that management of Caesars uses Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC to measure performance and allocate resources and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management and allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of the Caesars and CEOC. We, in turn, use Adjusted EBITDA of Caesars and CEOC to evaluate the capacity of Caesars and CEOC to meet their respective obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements. Such information is not publicly available for the applicable tenant under the HLV Lease Agreement or its guarantor Property EBITDAR of Caesars and CEOC is defined as revenues less property operating expenses and is comprised of net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that Caesars does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance at an operating property level. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as EBITDAR further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other items as exhibited in the following reconciliation, and is presented as a supplemental measure of Caesars’ performance. Caesars has indicated that its management believes that Adjusted EBITDAR provides its investors with additional information and allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of Caesars. We, in turn, use Property EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR of Caesars and CEOC to evaluate the ability of Caesars and CEOC to meet their respective obligations under the Formation Lease Agreements. 31
