Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. (Harrah's) announced today that its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Harrah's Operating Company, Inc. (HOC), is extending to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2008, the Early Tender Date (as defined in HOC's confidential offering memorandum, dated November 14, 2008, the "Offering Memorandum") for all Old Notes (as defined below) maturing between 2010 and 2013 ("Priority 1 Notes"), in its private exchange offers (the "Exchange Offers") to exchange certain of its outstanding debt securities (collectively, the "Old Notes") for up to $2.1 billion aggregate principal amount of (i) new 10.00% Second- Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 ("New 2015 Second Lien Notes"), for Old Notes maturing between 2010 and 2013, and (ii) new 10.00% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018, for Old Notes maturing between 2015 and 2018.

In addition, Harrah's also announced today that HOC is reducing the Acceptance Priority 2 Cap (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) from $875 million to $500 million and is extending to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 19, 2008, the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) for the Exchange Offers. HOC is also extending to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 3, 2008, the Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) for all Old Notes maturing between 2015 and 2018 (i.e., Old Notes having an acceptance priority level of 2, 3 and 4). The Withdrawal Deadline for Priority 1 Notes, however, remains 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 28, 2008 and has passed, and therefore, Priority 1 Notes that are validly tendered through the new Expiration Date of the Exchange Offers may not be withdrawn except under the circumstances described in the Offering Memorandum. All of the other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers remain unchanged.

HOC is pleased that the Exchange Offers are currently oversubscribed. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, November 28, 2008 (the "Original Early Tender Date"), approximately $4 billion principal amount, or 36% of the outstanding principal amount, of Old Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offers. In addition, as of the Original Early Tender Date, approximately $286 million principal amount, or 19% of the outstanding principal amount, of Old Notes maturing in 2010 and 2011 have participated in the Exchange Offers and elected to receive cash in lieu of New 2015 Second Lien Notes that they would otherwise receive in the Exchange Offers pursuant to the "Modified Dutch Auction" process (the "Auction Process") described more fully in the Offering Memorandum. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offering Memorandum, and based on the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes maturing in 2010 and 2011 validly tendered (and not withdrawn) as of the Original Early Tender Date, all holders that elected to receive cash in lieu of New 2015 Second Lien Notes will receive cash in full and will not be subject to proration. HOC estimates that it would pay approximately $209 million in cash to holders of these Old Notes. In addition, HOC is also pleased to confirm that the Maximum Auction Amount (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) remains $325 million.

The Exchange Offers are not conditioned on a minimum principal amount of Old Notes being tendered or the issuance of a minimum principal amount of New Second Lien Notes (as defined in the Offering Memorandum). However, the Exchange Offer for each issue of Old Notes is subject to certain other terms and conditions, which terms and conditions may be different from the terms and conditions applicable to the other issues of Old Notes, as more fully described in the Offering Memorandum. In addition, HOC has the right to terminate or withdraw any of the Exchange Offers at any time and for any reason, including if any of the conditions described in the Offering Memorandum are not satisfied.

The Exchange Offers are being made only to qualified institutional buyers and to certain non-U.S. investors located outside the United States. The Exchange Offers are made only by, and pursuant to, the terms set forth in the offering memorandum, and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the offering memorandum and the accompanying letter of transmittal. Subject to applicable law, HOC may amend, extend or terminate the Exchange Offers.

Documents relating to the Exchange Offers will only be distributed to holders who complete and return a letter of eligibility confirming that they are within the category of eligible investors for this private offer. Noteholders who desire a copy of the eligibility letter should contact Global Bondholder Service Corporation, the information agent for the Exchange Offers, at (866) 736-2200 (Toll-Free) or (212) 925-1630 (Collect).
