               INFORMATION RELATING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                    AND CERTAIN COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

     The Board of Directors held two (2) meetings during 1995. Each incumbent 
director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the 
Board of Directors and all committees on which he served during 1995.  

     The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation 
Committee. The general functions of such committees, the identity of each 
committee member and the number of committee meetings held by each committee 
during 1995, are set forth below.  

AUDIT COMMITTEE 

     The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Looloian and Mr. 
Politan. The general functions of the Audit Committee include reviewing the 
selection of the independent auditors with the Manager, evaluating the 
performance of the independent auditors and their fees for services, 
reviewing the scope of the annual audit with the independent auditors and the 
results of the audit with senior management of the Company and the 
independent auditors, and consulting with the Manager, senior management of 
the Company, internal auditors and the independent auditors as to the systems 
of internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee held two (2) meetings 
during 1995.  

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE 

     The current members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. McDonald and 
Mr. Burnham. The general functions of the Compensation Committee include 
reviewing the compensation arrangements for senior management of the Company 
and oversight of management development to ensure continuity of senior 
management. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is 
responsible for all personnel decisions of the Company and has authority to 
determine compensation and other benefits with the exception of new pension 
and profit sharing plans. However, the Company's Board of Directors must 
approve any employment contracts or other arrangements for employees of the 
Company which involve more than $125,000 annual compensation, including 
salary and bonuses. The Compensation Committee held one (1) meeting during 
1995.  

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS 

     Each director who is not an officer of the Company receives $20,000 per 
year, payable quarterly, as compensation for his service in such capacity and 
a $500 fee for each meeting attended, including meetings of any committees. 
Directors who are officers of the Company do not receive additional 
compensation for service as directors. In addition, the Company made payments 
to the members of the independent Special Committee of the Board of Directors 
constituted in connection with the approval of the sale of certain property 
to BEC. See "Certain Transactions with Affiliates and Management". The 
Chairman of the Special Committee, Mr. McDonald, received $35,000. The other 
members of the Special Committee, Messrs. Politan and Burnham, each received 
$15,000.

(1) Certain incidental personal benefits to executive officers of the Company
    may result from expenses incurred by the Company in the interest of
    attracting and retaining qualified personnel. These incidental personal   
    benefits made available to executive officers during 1995 are not described
    herein because the incremental cost to the Company of such benefits is below
    the Commission disclosure threshold.   
    
(2) Such amounts represent the number of shares of BEC common stock underlying
    options granted by BEC to each named executive officer.   
    
(3) Mr. Goldberg was the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief
    Executive Officer of BEC. For serving in such capacities, Mr. Goldberg

    450,000 shares of BEC common stock during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
    BEC did not allocate the amount of any compensation paid to Mr. Goldberg as
    being compensation paid to Mr. Goldberg for services rendered to the
    Company. In connection with the services provided to the Company by the
    Manager under the Management Agreement, including the services of Mr.
    Goldberg, the Company pays the Manager an annual management fee of 
    $3,000,000. See "Certain Transactions with Affiliates and Management." On
    August 20, 1993, Mr. Goldberg received an award of 280,000 shares of Common
    Stock pursuant to the Company's Incentive Stock Plan (as hereinafter
    defined). As of such date, the Common Stock had a fair market value of
    $12.625 per share. On December 13, 1993, Mr. Goldberg sold the shares to a
    wholly-owned subsidiary of BEC.   
    
(4) This total includes (i) $5,082 paid to the Company's 401(k) plan and (ii)
    $62,386 matched by the Company for Mr. Luery's participation in the Bally
    Entertainment Corporation Management Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings

STOCK OPTION AND SAR GRANTS 

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning grants by 
BEC of options to purchase BEC common stock made during 1995 to each of the 
Named Executive Officers pursuant to the 1989 Incentive Plan of BEC (the 
"Incentive Plan"). In connection with the Merger, all options to purchase BEC 
common stock were settled for an amount in cash equal to $28.425 per share 
less the exercise price per share. The "option settlement price" was 
determined based on a formula set forth in the agreement governing the Merger 
which was related to the consideration received by BEC stockholders for each 
share of BEC common stock they owned prior to the Merger.

(2) The potential realizable values represented future opportunity at December
    31, 1995 and have not been reduced to present value in 1995 dollars. The
    dollar amounts included in these columns are the result of calculations at
    assumed rates set by the Commission for illustration purposes. The potential
    realizable values are based on arbitrarily assumed annualized rates of stock
    price appreciation of 5% and 10% over the full 10-year term of the options
    and do not reflect the results of the Merger. For example, in order for the 
    individuals named above who received options with an exercise price of 
    $11.05 per share to have realized the potential values set forth in the 5%
    and 10% columns in the table above, the price per share of BEC's common 
    stock would have had to be approximately $18.00 and $28.66, respectively.
    
(3) Pursuant to the terms of BEC's stock option plans, BEC's Compensation and 
    Stock Option Committee made an adjustment to the exercise price of all 
    outstanding options in connection with the distribution of the shares of
    Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation to BEC's stockholders in January
    1996. The adjustment was equal to one quarter of the average closing price
    for the shares of Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation for the first 20
    days of trading, reflecting the distribution of one quarter of a share of 
    Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation for each share of BEC common stock.
    This adjustment resulted in a reduction of all exercise prices by $1.20 per
    share.  
    
(4) Mr. Goldberg was the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief
    Executive Officer of BEC. For serving in such capacities, during 1995 BEC 
    granted Mr. Goldberg options to purchase 500,000 shares of BEC common stock 
    at an exercise price of $6.30 per share, which options expire on January 19,
    2005, and 50,000 shares of BEC common stock at an exercise price of $11.05
    per share, which options expire on December 12, 2005. The aggregate   
    potential realizable value of such options at assumed annualized rates of 
    stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% for the option term would be   
    $2,328,482 and $5,900,832, respectively.

STOCK OPTION AND SAR EXERCISES 

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning exercises 
of BEC stock options and SARs during 1995 by each of the Named Executive 
Officers and their stock options and SARs outstanding as of December 31, 
1995. As described previously, all options to purchase BEC common stock were 
settled in connection with the Merger for an amount in cash equal to $28.425 
per share less the exercise price per share.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN 

     The Savings Plan, adopted by BEC on September 7, 1994, is a deferred 
compensation plan designed to permit a select group of management or highly 
compensated employees to enhance the security of themselves and their 
beneficiaries following retirement or other termination of their employment. 
The Savings Plan is intended to be an "employee pension benefit plan" under 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is 
unfunded and maintained by BEC. The Savings Plan is not intended to be 
qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Board of 
Directors of BEC, in its sole discretion, designates those members of 
management or highly compensated employees who are eligible to participate in 
the Savings Plan.  

     During the first half of 1995, the Company provided a matching 
contribution as follows: 100% of the first 10% of eligible compensation the 
participant defers, 50% of the second 10% of eligible compensation the 
participant defers and 0% thereafter. Effective July 1, 1995, the Savings 
Plan was amended so that the Company provides a matching contribution of 50% 
of the first 15% of eligible compensation the participant defers and 0% 
thereafter. Matching contributions are credited to a participant's matching 
account and become vested as follows: after one but less than two Years of 
Deferral they become 33 1/3% vested, after two but less



                                       9


than three Years of Deferral they become 66 2/3% vested, and after more than 
three Years of Deferral they become fully vested. For this purpose, a "Year 
of  Deferral" is credited with respect to a matching contribution for each 
completed  calendar year commencing after the calendar year for which the 
matching  contribution was made. A participant generally may elect to receive 
his benefits  under the Savings Plan in a lump sum or in installments over a 
period of no more  than ten years. As soon as possible (but not later than 
five business days)  after a change in control of BEC, as defined in the 
Savings Plan, all of the  participants' accounts will become 100% vested.  

     For 1995, the Company contributed cash of $258,113 to the accounts of 
participants in the Savings Plan, of which $142,333 was allocated to the 
accounts of all executive officers as a group. Amounts allocated to each of 
the Named Executive Officers are as follows: Mr. Luery $62,386, Mr. 
Blumenshine $21,000, Mr. Contesse $22,212 and Mr. Harrold $21,423.  

INCENTIVE STOCK AWARDS 

     In accordance with the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, on 
August 20, 1993, the Company established the Bally's Grand, Inc. 1993 
Incentive Stock Plan, pursuant to which 600,000 shares of its Common Stock 
were made available for award to its officers actively involved in its 
management or operations (the "Incentive Stock Plan"). The Incentive Stock 
Plan generally provides for grants of stock awards to participants for no 
consideration which may or may not be subject to restrictions.

     Pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan and the Management Agreement, the 
Manager is responsible for the administration of the Incentive Stock Plan and 
has authority, in its sole discretion, to determine which officers of the 
Company will participate in the Incentive Stock Plan, any individual or 
corporate performance goals applicable to a participant, which participants 
will be awarded shares, the date on which awards will be made, the number of 
shares to be awarded, if any, and all other terms of the awards, which need 
not be the same for all participants. Subject to the express provisions of 
the Incentive Stock Plan, the Manager also has the authority, in its sole 
discretion, to construe, amend and rescind the rules and regulations relating 
to the Incentive Stock Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary 
or advisable for administering the Incentive Stock Plan.  

     The following table sets forth certain information with respect to 
awards granted under the Incentive Stock Plan to each of the Named Executive 
Officers:

                                                               COMMON STOCK

            Jerry A. Blumenshine............................         31,000   
            Paul Contesse...................................         31,000   
            William D. Harrold..............................         31,000   


     The Company, the Manager and each participant in the Incentive Stock 
Plan entered into individual stock award agreements which set forth the 
specific terms and conditions applicable to such participant's stock award. 
The stock award agreement entered into with Mr. Goldberg provided that the 
shares awarded to him were not subject to restrictions. During 1993, Mr. 
Goldberg sold the 280,000 shares of Common Stock awarded to him to a wholly 
owned subsidiary of BEC. The stock award agreements entered into with the 
four other persons listed above contained substantially identical terms. 
These stock award agreements provided for a grant of shares of Common Stock 
subject to certain restrictions and subject to forfeiture if the 
participant's employment with the Company was terminated before the 
restrictions lapsed. The restrictions applicable to the shares awarded 
automatically lapsed as to approximately one-third of the number of shares 
awarded on each of December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995. On January 12, 1994, 
December 31, 1994 and December 29, 1995, the Company purchased from 
participants in the Incentive Stock Plan 98,150 shares, 82,025 shares and  

                                       10


76,900 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at prices of $12.625 per share, 
$11.00 per share and $16.00 per share, respectively. Such shares are held by 
the Company as treasury stock.  

     As of December 18, 1996, 42,925 shares of Common Stock were available 
for future award pursuant to the Incentive Stock Plan.  

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION


     Mr. Burnham and Mr. McDonald were members of the Compensation Committee 
during 1995. Neither Mr. Burnham nor Mr. McDonald have interlocking 
relationships with third parties which might be considered conflicts of 
interest based on their membership of the Company's Compensation Committee.  

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

     In connection with the Management Agreement, the role of the Board of 
Directors includes the approval of compensation determinations made by the 
Manager which involves more than $125,000 (including salary and bonus). The 
Manager and the Board of Directors each believe that the growth of the Las 
Vegas casino market has made the recruitment and retention of top casino 
executives highly competitive. Consequently, the Manager and the Board of 
Directors believe that the payment of significant base salaries to key 
personnel is very important to the Company's ability to retain these 
employees.  

     In reviewing the bonuses approved by the Manager, the Board of Directors 
considered the Company's prime strategic goals and the qualitative factors 
which contributed to their achievement. The Company's prime strategic goal 
was, and is, to maximize shareholder value by generating increased operating 
income on a consistent and sustainable basis. This goal was largely 
accomplished in 1995 (during a period when neither the Manager nor the Board 
of Directors expected to increase market share) by the Company establishing a 
competitive uniqueness geared toward those segments of the market the Company 
believes it is best equipped to handle and that are most profitable. The 
Company's positioning was achieved through changes to operations which were 
implemented by senior management. In that regard, the qualitative factors 
that the Manager and the Board of Directors recognized were managerial 
vision, decision-making acumen, effectiveness, teamwork and the results 
obtained by senior management.

                CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND MANAGEMENT 
                                          
     Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager provides certain 
management and administrative services to the Company and BEC licenses, on a 
non-exclusive basis, the use of the "Bally" name and certain computer 
software to the Company for an annual fee of $3,000,000 payable in monthly 
installments. The initial term of the Management Agreement is ten years. The 
Management Agreement will be automatically renewed from year to year unless 
notice of intent not to renew is given at least six months prior to the 
expiration of the initial term or any subsequent term or in the event that 
Bally's Las Vegas is sold. Property, general liability and other insurance 
coverage has been obtained by BEC for the Company. BEC paid insurance 
premiums for itself, its subsidiaries and the Company and allocated these 
premiums among those parties. In 1995, the Company paid approximately 
$1,173,000 to BEC for allocated insurance premiums. In addition, BEC leased 
an airplane which was used for the business of BEC, its subsidiaries and the 
Company and allocated the cost of the airplane based upon usage. In 1995, the 
Company paid approximately $121,000 for allocated airplane usage costs.  

     Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, Hilton has the right 
to nominate one of the six members of the Company's Board of Directors and a 
member to any of the committees thereof, provided such nominee is reasonably 
acceptable to the Company. The Company is required to submit the name of 
Hilton's nominee to the Company's stockholders for election, subject to the 
exercise of the fiduciary duties of the Company's Board of Directors. Hilton 
has designated Mr. Goldberg as its nominee to serve on the Board of Directors 
of the Company.


                                       12


     Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible 
for all personnel decisions of the Company and has the authority to determine 
compensation and other benefits with the exception of new pension and profit 
sharing plans. However, the Company's Board of Directors must approve any 
employment contracts or other arrangements for employees of the Company which 
involve more than $125,000 annual compensation, including salary and bonuses. 
 
     Beginning on March 21, 1995, when BEC's ownership percentage of 
outstanding Common Stock reached 80%, taxable income or loss of the Company 
has been included in the consolidated federal income tax return of BEC. Under 
a tax sharing arrangement between the Company and BEC, income taxes are 
allocated to the Company based on amounts the Company would pay or receive if 
it filed a separate consolidated federal income tax return. Payments to BEC 
for tax liabilities are due at such time and in such amounts as payments 
would be required to be made to the Internal Revenue Service. Payments from 
BEC for tax benefits are due at the time BEC files the applicable 
consolidated federal income tax return.  

     On December 29, 1995, the Company purchased 76,900 shares of Common 
Stock for $16.00 per share from participants in the Incentive Stock Plan, 
which included purchases from the Named Executive Officers as follows: 24,300 
shares from Mr. Luery, 10,300 shares from Mr. Blumenshine, 10,300 shares from 
Mr. Contesse, and 10,300 shares from Mr. Harrold. See "Compensation of 
Executive Officers -- Incentive Stock Awards."

     On May 10, 1995, the Company made a payment of $250,000 to Arveron 
Investments L.P., of which Mr. Goldberg is Managing Partner, as compensation 
for consulting services provided in connection with the Company's investments 
in publicly-traded securities and certain repurchases of Common Stock.  

     In August 1996, the Company sold Paris Casino Corp. (an indirect wholly 
owned subsidiary that owns 24 acres of land next to Bally's Las Vegas upon 
which the Paris Casino-Resort is planned to be developed) to BEC for 
consideration having an aggregate value of $57,500,000 ($17,500,000 in cash 
and 1,457,195 shares of BEC common stock which were converted into 1,457,195 
shares of Hilton common stock in the Merger). In addition, BEC reimbursed the 
Company for Paris Casino-Resort development costs incurred to date and 
certain transaction-related costs, and granted the Company certain operating 
considerations pursuant to a shared facilities agreement. The transaction was 
negotiated and approved by an independent Special Committee of the Board of 
Directors of the Company consisting of Mr. McDonald, Mr. Politan and Mr. 
Burnham. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel and 
financial advisors in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of the 
transaction.

                                     AUDITORS 
                                          
     The Company's independent auditors for 1995 were Ernst & Young LLP. In 
connection with the Merger, the Manager recommended the Company engage Arthur 
Andersen LLP (Hilton's independent auditors) so as to provide uniformity in 
certifying public accountants. On December 31, 1996, after review by the 
Audit Committee of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company 
unanimously approved the engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent 
auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 to replace the firm of 
Ernst & Young LLP, who were dismissed as auditors of the Company on that 
date.  

     The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's financial statements 
for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 did not contain an 
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified 
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with 
the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal 
years ended December 31, 1995 and in the subsequent interim period, there 
were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of accounting 
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope 
and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young 
LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in 
their report. Neither representatives of Ernst & Young LLP or Arthur Andersen 
LLP will be present at the meeting.  

                                     LITIGATION
                                          
     Two derivative actions purportedly brought on behalf of the Company 
against its directors and BEC, one commenced in October 1995 and the other in 
September 1996, were consolidated under the caption IN RE: BALLY'S GRAND 
DERIVATIVE LITIGATION in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in 
and for New Castle County. The consolidated complaint alleges breaches of 
fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets in connection with certain 
actions including the sale by the Company to BEC of the capital stock of 
Paris Casino Corp. (the "Paris Transaction"), alleged improper delegation of 
duties by the Company's Board of Directors by virtue of the Management 
Agreement, the Manager's designation pursuant to the Management Agreement of 
recipients awarded Common Stock pursuant to the Incentive Stock Plan, 
purchases of Common Stock by the Company and BEC, and a consulting agreement 
entered into by the Company with Arveron Investments L.P. in connection with 
the Company's investments in publicly-traded securities and certain 
repurchases of Common Stock. The plaintiffs seek, among other things: (i) 
rescission of the Paris Transaction, (ii) a declaration that the Management 
Agreement is unlawful, (iii) an accounting of damages to the Company and 
profits to defendants as a result of the transactions complained of, (iv) an 
accounting for purchases of Common Stock by the Company and BEC, and (v) 
costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees. A third derivative 
action purportedly brought on behalf of the Company against its directors, 
BEC, the Manager and Hilton was commenced in November 1996 under the caption 
TOWER INVESTMENT GROUP, INC., ET AL. V. BALLY'S GRAND, INC., ET AL. in the 
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in and for New Castle County. The 
complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by 
the Company's directors and BEC in connection with the Paris Transaction, 
aiding and abetting by Hilton of the breaches of fiduciary duty and waste by 
the Company's directors and BEC, fraud, willful misconduct or gross 
negligence by BEC and the Manager in connection with the Management 
Agreement, breach of fiduciary duty by the Company's directors in connection 
with purchases of Common Stock by BEC while in possession of material inside 
information concerning the Company's earnings, breach of fiduciary duty by 
BEC in connection with alleged threats to abuse its controlling interest in 
the Company, and violation by the Company's directors and BEC of Section 203 
of the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with the Paris 
Transaction. The plaintiffs seek, among other things: (i) rescission of the 
Paris Transaction, (ii) termination of the Management Agreement, (iii) 
appointment of a custodian to manage the Company's affairs, (iv) compensatory 
damages, (v) an order enjoining BEC and Hilton from conveying the Paris 
Casino-Resort, (vi) disgorgement by BEC and Hilton of the profits of the 
Paris Casino-Resort, (vii) disgorgement by Arthur M. Goldberg of all 
payments, warrants and interests received in connection with the Merger, and 
(viii) disgorgement by BEC of profits earned from any transactions in shares 
of the Common Stock based upon material inside information. This action has 
been consolidated with the original consolidated action under the caption IN 
RE: BALLY'S GRAND, INC. SHAREHOLDERS LITIGATION. The defendants believe the 
complaints are without merit.

thereof, the persons named as proxies will vote upon them in accordance with
