NOTE 1--BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background Information

     Coast West, Inc. ("Coast West") is a development stage Nevada corporation,
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coast Resorts, Inc. ("Coast Resorts"), which is
also a Nevada corporation.  Coast West was formed in September 1995 as part of a
reorganization (the "Reorganization") with Coast Resorts.  Coast West has no
operations, but holds a long-term lease (the "Coast West Lease") on
approximately fifty acres of land in Las Vegas on which Coast West may develop
and operate a future hotel-casino. Coast Resorts has another wholly owned
subsidiary, Coast Hotels and Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "CHC"),
which owns and operates two hotel-casinos located in Las Vegas, the Gold Coast
Hotel and Casino, (the "Gold Coast") and the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino (the
"Barbary Coast"), and is in the process of constructing a third hotel-casino in
Las Vegas, The Orleans Hotel and Casino and ("The Orleans").

     The Gold Coast and the Barbary Coast had previously been owned and operated
independently by two partnerships, Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, a Nevada 
limited partnership, and Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino, a Nevada partnership,
respectively (collectively, the "Predecessor Partnerships"). On January 1, 1996,
the partners of the Predecessor Partnerships completed the Reorganization with
Coast Resorts, which was formed in September 1995 for the purpose of effecting
the Reorganization. Coast Resorts and the Predecessor Partnerships were all
related through common ownership and management control.

     In the Reorganization, the partners of the Predecessor Partnerships each
transferred to Coast Resorts, their respective partnership interests in the 
Predecessor Partnerships in exchange for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of 
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Coast Resorts ("Coast Resorts Common 
Stock").  Coast Resorts immediately contributed to CHC all of the assets and 
liabilities of the Predecessor Partnerships other than those relating to the 
Coast West Lease, which Coast Resorts contributed to Coast West.  Coast Resorts 
retained the liability for an aggregate principal amount of $51.0 million in 
notes payable to former partners and retained the liability for $1.5 million 
relating to demand notes due to a related party (the "Exchange Liabilities").  
On January 16, 1996, the Exchange Liabilities were exchanged for 494,353 shares 
of Coast Resorts Common Stock, based upon management's estimate of the fair 
market value of such Coast Resorts Common Stock.

Basis of Presentation

     Prior to the Reorganization, the Gold Coast and the Barbary Coast hotel-
casinos historically operated under a high degree of common control. The former
Managing General Partner of the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino was also a general
partner, and the principal manager, of the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino. Due
to common control of the Predecessor Partnerships and the continuation of
ownership by the former partners, the Reorganization was accounted for as a
reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial
statements of Coast West for all periods are presented as if the Reorganization
occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and include the
accounts of all entities involved on a historical cost basis, in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests.

     The accompanying financial statements reflect the Exchange Liabilities as 
obligations of CHC at December 31, 1995, as the exchange for Coast Resorts 
Common Stock had not yet occurred.  The exchange was accounted for subsequent to
the completion of the Reorganization, through the issuance of Coast Resorts 
Common Stock in the approximate amount of $52.5 million reflecting the 
historical cost basis of the Exchange Liabilities.

statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1995.  In the opinion 
of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered

been included.  The interim results reflected in the unaudited financial 
statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

     Coast West plans to hold the Coast West Lease for future development.  
Coast West has had no source of income during its development stage.  CHC has 
agreed to provide Coast West with advances sufficient to make lease payments on 
the Coast West Lease, as more fully explained in Note 3.

NOTE 2--LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

     In January 1996, in connection with the Reorganization, Coast Resorts
contributed its rights under the Coast West Lease to Coast West.  The Coast West
Lease is for a parcel of land located in the northwest area of Las Vegas which
is to be used for future expansion opportunities. The Coast West Lease term runs
through December 31, 2055, with three 10-year renewal options, with monthly
payments of $166,667 through December 31, 1995.  Thereafter, the monthly rent
will be increased by the amount of $5,000 in January of each year.  The lease
includes a put option exercisable by the landlord requiring the purchase of the
land at fair market value at the end of the 20th through 24th years of the
lease, provided that the purchase price shall not be less than ten times, nor
more than fifteen times, the annual rent at such time.  Based on the terms of
the lease, the potential purchase price commitment ranges from approximately $31
million to $51 million in the years 2014 through 2018.  Coast West has no source
of income during its development stage and CHC has agreed to provide advances to
Coast West sufficient to make payments for its lease and other obligations
during Coast West's development stage. Such advances will be collateralized by
Coast West's interest in the Coast West Lease.  There can be no assurance that 
Coast West will develop a gaming property at the Coast West site, or that it 
will be able to repay such advances.

NOTE 3--PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

     On January 30, 1996, CHC completed a private placement of $175 million
principal amount of 13% First Mortgage Notes Due December 15, 2002 (the "First
Mortgage Notes").  Interest on the First Mortgage Notes is payable semi-annually
commencing June 15, 1996.  The First Mortgage Notes are unconditionally
guaranteed by Coast Resorts, Coast West and certain future Subsidiaries of CHC.
Net proceeds from the offering (after deducting original issue discount and
commissions) were approximately $164.1 million.  Of that amount, (i)
approximately $114.8 million was deposited in a construction disbursement
account restricted for use by CHC to finance in part the cost of developing,
constructing, equipping and opening the Orleans, (ii) approximately $19.3
million was used by CHC to purchase U.S. Government Obligations which were
deposited into an interest escrow account restricted to fund the interest
payable on the First Mortgage Notes through December 15, 1996 and (iii)
approximately $29.2 million was used by CHC to repay all outstanding
indebtedness under CHC's New Revolving Facility, which facility was terminated.
The balance of approximately $800,000 was used to pay, in part, the offering
expenses of approximately $2.4 million.

     The indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes also limits the activities
of Coast West to (i) activities relating to the Coast West Lease including
related borrowings and repayments to CHC, (ii) activities related to the
planning and future development of the property underlying the Coast West Lease
and (iii) other activities incidental or related to those indicated above.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Loss Incurred During the Development Stage

        The Company, formed in 1995 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Coast
Resorts, has no operations but holds a lease on approximately fifty acres of
land held for possible future development. The net loss for Coast West was
$955,000 in the second quarter of 1996, and was $1.9 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1996 (Coast West was not in existence in the first six months
of 1995). The net loss was due entirely to rent expense (including $440,000 of 
deferred rent expense in the second quarter and $880,000 for the first half of
1996). Cumulative net loss to date for Coast West is $2.9 million (including 
$1.3 million in deferred rent expense).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Coast West plans to hold the Coast West Lease for future development.
Coast West, a development stage company, has no operatons and no sources of
liquidity. CHC has agreed to provide advances to Coast West (up to a maximum of
$8.0 million in the aggregate) to satisfy rent payable under the Coast West
Lease and other obligations during Coast West's development stage. (See Note 2
to Notes to Condensed Financial Statements).
