    The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received the Prospectus,
dated [      ], 2001 (the "Prospectus"), of Sun International Hotels Limited, a
company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas ("Sun
International") and Sun International North America, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("SINA", and, together with Sun International, the "Issuers"), and
this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter"), which together constitute the
Issuers' offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange an aggregate principal amount
of up to $200,000,000 of their 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the
"New Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") for a like principal amount at maturity of the
Issuers' issued and outstanding 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the
"Old Notes"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning given them in the Prospectus.

    YOUR BANK OR BROKER CAN ASSIST YOU IN COMPLETING THIS FORM. THE INSTRUCTIONS
INCLUDED WITH THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE FOLLOWED. QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS
FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE PROSPECTUS AND THIS LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
<Page>
    The Issuers reserve the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend
the Exchange Offer at their discretion, in which event the term "Expiration
Date" shall mean the latest time and date to which the Exchange Offer is
extended. The Issuers shall notify the holders of the Old Notes of any extension
as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof.

    This Letter is to be completed by holders of Old Notes either if
certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if a tender of Old Notes is to be
made by book-entry transfer, if available, to the account maintained by the
Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer
Facility") pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer" section
of the Prospectus. Holders of Old Notes whose certificates are not immediately
available, or who are unable to deliver their certificates or confirmation of
the book-entry tender of their Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at
the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") and all other
documents required by this Letter to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the
Expiration Date, must tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures" section of the Prospectus. See Instruction 1. Delivery of documents
to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the Exchange
Agent.

              PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuers the aggregate principal amount of Old
Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for
exchange of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns
and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Issuers all right, title and
interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered hereby.

    The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full
power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered
hereby and that the Issuers will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto,
free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not
subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Issuers. The
undersigned hereby further represents that any New Notes acquired in exchange
for Old Notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business of the person receiving such New Notes, whether or not such person is
the undersigned, that neither the holder of such Old Notes nor any such other
person is engaged in, or intends to engage in a distribution of such New Notes,
or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of such New Notes, and that neither the holder of such Old Notes
nor any such other person is an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act, of the Issuers.

    The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made by
the Issuers based upon the Issuers' understanding of an interpretation by the
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as set forth
in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the New Notes issued in
exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for
resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such
holder that is an "affiliate" of the Issuers within the meaning of Rule 405
under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and
prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that: (1) such
holders are not affiliates of the Issuers within the meaning of Rule 405 under
the Securities Act; (2) such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of
such holders' business; and (3) such holders are not engaged in, and do not
intend to engage in, a distribution of such New Notes and have no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such New
Notes. However, the staff of the Commission has not considered the Exchange
Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that
the staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to
the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If a holder of Old Notes is an
affiliate of the Issuers, and is engaged in or intends to engage in a
distribution of the New Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with
respect to the distribution of the New Notes to be acquired pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, such holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations of
the staff of the Commission and must comply with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary
resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive New
Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it represents that the Old
Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it
will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes;
however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned
will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act.

    The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Issuers to be necessary or desirable to complete the
sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby. All authority
conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter and every obligation of the
undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of
the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or
incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance
with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Withdrawal of Tenders"
section of the Prospectus.

                     SUN INTERNATIONAL NORTH AMERICA, INC.

1.  DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER AND NOTES; GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES.

    This Letter is to be completed by holders of Old Notes either if
certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if tenders are to be made pursuant
to the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer set forth in "The Exchange
Offer--Procedures for Tendering" section of the Prospectus. Certificates for all
physically tendered Old Notes, or Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be,
as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or
facsimile thereof) and any other documents required by this Letter, must be
received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein on or prior to
the Expiration Date, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth below. Old Notes tendered hereby must be in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

    Holders of Old Notes whose certificates for Old Notes are not immediately
available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required
documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, or who
cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may
tender their Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth
in "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of the
Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (i) such tender must be made through an
Eligible Institution (as defined below), (ii) prior to the Expiration Date, the
Exchange Agent must receive from such Eligible Institution a properly completed
and duly executed Letter (or facsimile thereof) and Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Issuers (by facsimile
transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and address of the
holder of Old Notes, the certificate number or numbers of such Old Notes and the
principal amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made
thereby and guaranteeing that within five business days after the Expiration
Date, the Letter (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate or
certificates representing the Old Notes to be tendered in proper form for
transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and any other
documents required by this Letter will be deposited by the Eligible Institution
with the Exchange Agent, and (iii) such properly completed and executed Letter
(or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate or certificates representing
all tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry
Confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by this
Letter are received by the Exchange Agent within three business days after the
Expiration Date.

    The method of delivery of this Letter, the Old Notes and all other required
documents is at the election and risk of the tendering holders. Instead of
delivery by mail, it is recommended that holders use an overnight or hand
delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure
delivery to the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date. No Letter of
Transmittal or Old Notes should be sent to the Issuers. Holders may request
their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees
to effect the tenders for such holders.

    See "The Exchange Offer" section of the Prospectus.

2.  PARTIAL TENDERS; WITHDRAWALS.

    If less than all of the Old Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate are
to be tendered, the tendering holder(s) should fill in the aggregate principal
amount of Old Notes tendered in the box

                                       7
<Page>
entitled "Description of Old Notes--Principal Amount Tendered." A newly issued
certificate for the Old Notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such
holder as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All Old Notes delivered
to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise
clearly indicated.

    If not yet accepted, a tender pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be
withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date. To be effective with respect to the
tender of Old Notes, a notice of withdrawal must: (i) be received by the
Exchange Agent before the Issuers notify the Exchange Agent that they have
accepted the tender of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; (ii) specify
the name of the Old Notes; (iii) contain a description of the Old Notes to be
withdrawn, the certificate numbers shown on the particular certificates
evidencing such Old Notes and the principal amount of Old Notes represented by
such certificates; and (iv) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the
original signature on this Letter (including any required signature guarantee).
The Exchange Agent will return the properly withdrawn Old Notes promptly
following receipt of notice of withdrawal. If Old Notes have been tendered
pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must
specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility
to be credited with the withdrawn Old Notes or otherwise comply with the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedures. All questions as to the validity of
notices of withdrawals, including time of receipt, will be determined by the
Issuers, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties.

3.  SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER, BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS; GUARANTEE OF
  SIGNATURES.

    If this Letter is signed by the registered holder of the Old Notes tendered
hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as written on the
face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change
whatsoever.

    If any tendered Old Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners,
all such owners must sign this Letter.

    If any tendered Old Notes are registered in different names on several
certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate
copies of this Letter as there are different registrations of certificates.

    When this Letter is signed by the registered holder (which term, for the
purposes described herein, shall include the Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose
name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Old Notes) of the Old
Notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or
separate bond powers are required. If, however, the New Notes are to be issued
to a person other than the registered holder, then endorsements of any
certificates transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required. Signatures
on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined
below).

    If this Letter is signed by a person other than the registered holder or
holders of any Old Notes specified therein, such certificate(s) must be endorsed
by such registered holder(s) or accompanied by separate written instruments of
transfer or exchange or endorsed in blank by such registered holder(s) in form
satisfactory to the Issuers and duly executed by the registered holder, in
either case signed exactly as such registered holder(s) name or names appear(s)
on the Old Notes.

    If the Letter or any certificates of Old Notes or separate written
instruments of transfer or exchange are signed or endorsed by trustees,
executors, administrators, guardians, attorney-in-fact, officers of corporations
or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should
so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Issuers, evidence
satisfactory to the Issuers of their authority to so act must be submitted with
the Letter.

    Signature on a Letter or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless the Old Notes tendered pursuant
thereto are tendered (i) by a registered

                                       8

holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or
"Special Delivery Instructions" on the Letter or (ii) for the account of an
Eligible Institution. In the event that signatures on a Letter or a notice of
withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee
must be by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust
company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an "eligible
guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an "Eligible Institution").

4.  SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

    Tendering holders of Old Notes should indicate in the applicable box the
name and address to which New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are to
be issued or sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing
this Letter. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer
identification or social security number of the person named must also be
indicated. Holders tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that
Old Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility as such noteholder may designate hereon. If no such
instructions are given, such Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the
name or address of the person signing this Letter.

5.  TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

    Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering holder whose Old
Notes are accepted for exchange must provide the Issuers (as payor) with such
holder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on Form W-9 or otherwise
establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. If such holder is an
individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Issuers are not
provided with the current TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such
tendering holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service. In addition, delivery to such tendering holder of New Notes may be
subject to backup withholding in an amount up to 31% of all reportable payments
made after the exchange.

    Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain
foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting
requirements. See the enclosed Form W-9 for additional instructions.

    To prevent backup withholding, each tendering holder of Old Notes must
provide its correct TIN by completing the "Form W-9" set forth below, certifying
that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN) and
that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to a
backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends
or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder
is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the tendering holder of Old Notes
is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, such
holder must give the Issuers a completed Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign
Status. These forms may be obtained from the Exchange Agent. If the Old Notes
are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, such
holder should consult the W-9 for information on which TIN to report. If such
holder does not have a TIN, such holder should consult the W-9 for instructions
on applying for a TIN, write "applied for" in lieu of its TIN. Note: writing
"applied for" on the form means that such holder has already applied for a TIN
or that such holder intends to apply for one in the near future. If a holder
writes "applied for" on that form, backup withholding at a rate of up to 31%
will nevertheless apply to all reportable payments made to such holder. If such
a holder furnishes its TIN to the Issuers within 60 days, however, any amounts
so withheld shall be refunded to such holder.

                                       9

    Backup withholding is not an additional Federal income tax. Rather, the
Federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be
reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in overpayment of
taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.

6.  TRANSFER TAXES.

    Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay
any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, New Notes are to be
delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the
registered holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Old Notes are
registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter,
or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old
Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer
taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be
payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such
taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such
transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

    EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 6, IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR
TRANSFER TAX STAMPS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE OLD NOTES SPECIFIED IN THIS LETTER.

7.  WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.

    The Issuers reserve the right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions
enumerated in the Prospectus.

8.  NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS.

    No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be
accepted. All tendering holders of Old Notes by execution of this Letter, shall
waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Old Notes for
exchange.

    Neither the Issuers, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to
give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Old
Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such
notice.

9.  MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED OLD NOTES.

    Any holder whose Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further
instructions.

10.  REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES.

    Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for
