               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are
based upon our historical consolidated financial statements and those of
Grand Casinos, Inc. ("Grand") and Caesars World, Inc. ("Caesars"). You should
read this pro forma financial information in connection with the historical
financial statements included herein or previously filed.

    With respect to our merger with Grand and as further described in the
accompanying footnotes, the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income
for the year ended December 31, 1998, gives effect to:

    - our merger with Grand applying the purchase method of accounting; and

    - adjustments that are directly attributable to the Grand merger and are
      anticipated to have a continuing impact.

    The pro forma condensed statement of income reflecting our merger with Grand
assumes the merger was consummated on January 1, 1998.

    With respect to the proposed acquisition of Caesars, the unaudited pro
forma condensed statements of income for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 give effect to:

    - our acquisition of Caesars applying the purchase method of accounting; and

    - adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition and
      anticipated to have a continuing impact.

    The pro forma condensed statements of income reflecting the acquisition
assume we completed the Caesars' acquisition on January 1, 1998.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet presents our combined
financial position with Grand and Caesars as of September 30, 1999. The
unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the acquisition of
Caesars applying the purchase method of accounting and adjustments that are
directly attributable to the acquisition and anticipated to have a continuing
impact. The pro forma condensed balance sheet assumes we completed the
Caesars' acquisition as of September 30, 1999.

    We have prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements
based upon currently available information and assumptions that we have deemed
appropriate. This pro forma information may not be indicative of what actual
results would have been, nor does the data purport to represent our and Caesars'
combined financial results for future periods.

    For the purpose of preparing these pro forma financial statements, we will
undertake a study to establish the fair value of the acquired assets and
liabilities of Caesars. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and
liabilities acquired reflected in this pro forma financial data is preliminary.
Accordingly, the actual financial position and results of operations may differ
from these pro forma amounts.

    The following table sets forth the calculation of the purchase price of
Caesars and the preliminary allocation as of September 30, 1999.

    We are currently in the process of allocating the purchase price among the
assets to be acquired and the liabilities assumed. The final purchase price and
its allocation will be based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flows,
quoted market prices and estimates by management and is expected to be completed
within one year following the Caesars acquisition.

          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

    The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro
forma statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
the year ended December 31, 1998:

(a) Reflects the elimination of Lakes Gaming, Inc.

(b) Reflects the elimination of the transaction costs associated with our
    spin-off from Hilton and our merger with Grand.

(c) Reflects the adjustment to depreciation expense due to the revaluation of
    the acquired property and equipment resulting from the allocation of the
    purchase price of Caesars. This adjustment also reflects the increase in
    expense due to amortization of goodwill arising from our purchase of
    Caesars. Goodwill is to be amortized over 40 years.

(d) Reflects the elimination of the amortization of Caesars' historical
    goodwill.

(e) Reflects the elimination of the intercompany management fee charged by
    Starwood.

(f) Reflects additional interest expense, including amortization of related
    deferred finance charges, arising from expected borrowings incurred by us to
    fund the purchase of Caesars. We expect to fund the acquisition with
    borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. The pro forma effects of
    borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, future note offerings and
    the old notes have been computed at a rate of 7.8%. Each 1/8% change in the
    rate on the borrowings would result in a change in interest expense of $4
    million for the year.

(g) Reflects the elimination of the interest expense on the Caesars World, Inc.
    loans due to parent and affiliates.

(h) Reflects the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the statutory
    rate of 35%, with the exception of the amortization of goodwill, which is
    assumed to be non-deductible for tax purposes.
