NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.: General

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eldorado Resorts LLC ("Resorts"), a Nevada limited liability company, which is the successor entity to Eldorado Hotel Associates Limited Partnership (the "Predecessor Partnership") pursuant to a reorganization effective July 1, 1996, Eldorado Capital Corp. ("Capital"), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Resorts, and a majority owned subsidiary, Eldorado Limited Liability Company ("ELLC") (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the year end financial information to conform with the current period presentation which have no effect on net income.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report of Eldorado Resorts LLC and Eldorado Capital Corp. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2.: Senior Subordinated Notes

On July 31, 1996, Resorts and Capital (the "Issuers") sold $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 10¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"). The Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers. The Notes mature on August 15, 2006 and bear interest at the rate of 10¹/2% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 1997. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 31, 1996, among the Issuers and the initial purchasers party thereto, the Issuers filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes, which were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, for registered debt securities of the Issuers ("Registered Notes") with terms identical to the Notes. The exchange of the Notes for the Registered Notes was completed on February 26, 1997.

4.: Investment in Joint Ventures

Effective March 1, 1994, ELLC and Galleon, Inc. (a Nevada corporation owned and controlled by Mandalay Resort Group) entered into a joint venture (the "Silver Legacy Joint Venture") pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") to develop the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the "Silver Legacy"). The Silver Legacy consists of a casino and hotel located in Reno, Nevada, which began operations on July 28, 1995. During 1994, ELLC contributed land to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture with a fair value of $25,000,000 (a book value of $17,215,000) and cash of $23,000,000. Additional cash contributions of $3,900,000 were made in 1995, for a total equity investment of $51,900,000. Galleon, Inc. contributed cash of $51,900,000 to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. Each partner owns a 50% interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture.

Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, Profits of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture (defined as the Silver Legacy Joint Venture's taxable income with certain adjustments) in each fiscal year are allocated to the Partners pursuant to the following formula: (i) the net operating income of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture for financial reporting purposes (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) for such fiscal year, exclusive of interest expense, is credited to Galleon, Inc. up to the amount of its Priority Allocation (as defined below) for such fiscal year, any balance is credited to ELLC up to the amount of Galleon, Inc.'s Priority Allocation for such fiscal year and any remaining balance is credited to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests, (ii) interest expense of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture for such fiscal year is charged to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests and (iii) the difference between net operating income for such

fiscal year less interest expense for such fiscal year and Profits for such fiscal year is credited (or charged) to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. If this formula causes a Partner to be charged with a loss in any fiscal year, such Partner will be allocated zero Profits for such year and the other Partner will be allocated all of the Profits for such year. In addition, losses of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture (defined as the Silver Legacy Joint Venture's taxable loss with certain adjustments) in any fiscal year are allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

For so long as ELLC selects the General Manager of the Silver Legacy, as provided in the Joint Venture Agreement, Galleon, Inc. is entitled annually on a non-cumulative basis, commencing with the seven-month period ending December 31, 1997 and for each subsequent 12-month period, to a priority allocation of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture's operating income (the "Priority Allocation") in an amount equal to approximately 11.54% of the average of the "Adjusted Initial Investment" (as defined) at the beginning of the period for which the determination is being made and at the end of such period. For purposes of determining the amount of the Priority Allocation for any period, the term "Adjusted Initial Investment" means $290,000,000 (the "Initial Investment") as adjusted at the end of each year by subtracting (i) the depreciation on the Initial Investment taken in such year in accordance with the depreciation schedule agreed to by the Partners and (ii) the principal payments which would have been made in repayment of the original bank financing utilized for the development, construction and completion of the Silver Legacy.

The Joint Venture Agreement provides, subject to limitations on distributions to Partners in other agreements to which the Silver Legacy Joint Venture is a party, including its credit agreement, that Net Cash from Operations (defined as the gross cash proceeds from all Silver Legacy Joint Venture operations, less cash operating expenses and certain other expenses and obligations, including interest and principal payments on indebtedness including the financing required for the development, construction and completion of the Silver Legacy (the "Construction Financing"), other than indebtedness owed Partners or affiliates as provided for in the Joint Venture Agreement, and reasonable reserves deemed necessary to meet anticipated future obligations and liabilities of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture) is to be distributed quarterly to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture after satisfaction of certain other obligations as follows: (i) at the end of the first year of operation only, the distribution to each Partner of an amount equal to its tax liability attributable to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, (ii) the payment of interest and principal on all loans to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture from Partners and affiliates (excluding payment of principal on the Construction Financing), (iii) the payment of principal and interest on any Additional Capital Contribution Loan (as defined) of a Partner, plus the distribution to the non-defaulting Partner who provided such Additional Capital Contribution Loan of an amount equal to the amount of such Additional Capital Contribution Loan, (iv) the payment of certain construction cost overruns, (v) at the end of the first year of operation only, the payment of the balance of the principal of the Construction Financing not including cost overruns, (vi) to the extent earned and available, the distribution to Galleon, Inc. of an amount up to the Priority Allocation, (vii) to the extent earned and available, the distribution to ELLC of an amount up to the amount distributed to Galleon, Inc. pursuant to the Priority Allocation, (viii) after the first year of operation, the distribution to each Partner of an amount equal to its tax liability attributable to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture and (ix) the payment of the balance of the portion of the Construction Financing provided by Galleon, Inc. or Mandalay Resort Group until such loans are paid in full or refinanced. Any withdrawal from the Silver Legacy Joint Venture by either Partner results in a reduction of distributions to such withdrawing Partner to 75% of amounts otherwise payable to such Partner.

The Company and its partner in the Silver Legacy are currently disputing the allocation of the capital accounts as well as the timing and sequencing of cash flow payments in the future from the capital accounts from the Silver Legacy. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such disagreement will not have a material adverse impact on the Eldorado.

During 1994, the Predecessor Partnership contributed land with a fair value of $22,185,000 (cost of $15,715,000) to ELLC; the minority interest member of ELLC contributed land with a fair value of $2,815,000 (cost of $1,500,000) to ELLC. Based upon these contributions, the Predecessor Partnership had an 88.75% interest in ELLC as of December 31, 1994. In addition, during 1994, the Company loaned $23,000,000 to ELLC to contribute to the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. During 1995, the minority interest member contributed cash of $3,900,000 to ELLC; as a result, the Predecessor Partnership's interest in ELLC was reduced to 76.76%. During 1998, the Company converted the $23,000,000 loan to ELLC and accrued interest on the loan into equity of ELLC; as a result, the Company's interest in ELLC was increased to 96.19% effective June 30, 1997.

In May 2001, the Tamarack Entities consummated a plan of merger with Tamarack Crossings, LLC being the surviving entity. In June 2001, ELLC entered into an agreement with the Sullivan Family Trust to reduce ELLC's percentage interest in Tamarack Crossings, LLC to 21.25% from 42.5%. ELLC has an option to increase its percentage interest to 42.5% at a later date. As presently planned, Tamarack will have approximately 190 slot machines, a sportsbook and a themed restaurant. Operations are currently expected to commence in September 2001. The business and affairs of the Tamarack will be managed by four members of Tamarack Crossings, LLC, including ELLC, which has been designated "Chief Executive Manager" and will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Tamarack. At June 30, 2001, ELLC's investment in Tamarack Crossings,

LLC was $2.9 million of a $3.4 million commitment of which $2.5 million was invested during the six months then ended. ELLC's contribution in Tamarack Crossings, LLC represents its proportionate share of the total contributions for the members. Additional capital contributions of the members, including ELLC, may be required for certain purposes, including the payment of operating costs and capital expenditures or the repayment of loans, to the extent such costs are not funded by prior capital contributions and earnings.

Effective July 1, 2000, ELLC and Avereon Research LTD. ("ARL") entered into an agreement to form MindPlay, LLC (the "MindPlay Entity"), for the purpose of developing, owning and marketing a sophisticated system which, if successfully completed, will permit the tracking and surveillance of pit gaming operations ("MindPlay"). MindPlay is in the developmental stage and there is no assurance that the system will ever be successfully developed and marketed. The MindPlay Entity, in which ELLC owns a 19% interest, will be managed by a Board of Managers, which will consist of three Managers designated by ARL and two Managers designated by ELLC. At June 30, 2001, ELLC's investment in the MindPlay Entity was $1.4 million of which $1.1 million was invested during the six months then ended.

5.: Amended and Restated Credit Facility

On July 17, 2001, the Credit Facility was amended and restated (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $40 million. The amount of credit available pursuant to the New Credit Facility reduces by $1.6 million on March 31, 2003 and at the end of each subsequent quarter until March 31, 2006, when the facility terminates and any balance then outstanding becomes due and payable. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the greater of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its "Prime Rate" and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus .50% ("Base Rate") or (ii) a Eurodollar rate determined in accordance with the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's real property. The facility includes various restrictions and other covenants including: (i) restrictions on the disposition of property; (ii) restrictions on investments and acquisitions, (iii) restrictions on distributions to members of Resorts, (iv) restrictions on the incurrence of liens and negative pledges, (v) restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of guarantees, (vi) restrictions on transactions with affiliates and, (vii) restrictions on annual capital expenditures including capital leases. The New Credit Facility also contains financial covenants including a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio, a maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum equity requirement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

Eldorado Resorts LLC ("Resorts") was formed in June 1996 to be the successor to Eldorado Hotel Associates Limited Partnership (the "Predecessor Partnership") pursuant to an exchange of all the outstanding partnership interests in the Predecessor Partnership for membership interests in Resorts (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was effective on July 1, 1996. Resorts owns and operates the Eldorado Hotel & Casino (the "Eldorado"), a premier hotel/casino and entertainment facility in Reno, Nevada. In addition to owning the Eldorado, Resorts' majority owned subsidiary, Eldorado Limited Liability Company, a Nevada limited liability company ("ELLC"), owns a 50% interest in a joint venture (the "Silver Legacy Joint Venture") which owns the Silver Legacy Resort Casino (the "Silver Legacy"), a major themed hotel/casino located adjacent to the Eldorado. The minority interest in ELLC is owned by the principal equityholders of Resorts. In June 1998, ELLC completed a recapitalization, effective June 30, 1997, converting a note receivable and accrued interest thereon into equity, increasing Resorts' interest in ELLC from approximately 77% to approximately 96%. Resorts, ELLC and Eldorado Capital Corp. ("Capital"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resorts, which holds no significant assets and conducts no business activity, are collectively referred to as the "Company."

The Company accounts for its investment in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, Tamarack and MindPlay utilizing the equity method of accounting. Tamarack and MindPlay are currently in the developmental stage. The Company's consolidated net income includes its proportional share of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture's net income before taxes as determined in accordance with the terms of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture's joint venture agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement"). See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Report.

The following discussion of the Company's operations relates to the Eldorado except as otherwise indicated.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by approximately $4.2 million, or 8.8%, to $43.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $48.0 million for the same period in 2000. The Company's decrease in net revenues included decreases in casino and food, beverage and entertainment revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 include $3.7 million of income from the Company's unconsolidated affiliate, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture, as compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2000.

Casino revenues decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or 11.1%, to $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $29.3 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease in casino revenues was primarily due to lower slot revenue as a result of decreased slot volume for the three months ended June 30, 2001. A lower games hold percentage also contributed to the decrease.

Food, beverage and entertainment revenues decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 3.8%, to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $12.7 million during the same period in 2000.

Hotel revenues increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 2.3%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $4.8 million during the same period in 2000. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the Eldorado's average daily rate to approximately $63 in the

second quarter of 2001 as compared to approximately $62 in the second quarter of 2000. The hotel occupancy rate decreased slightly to approximately 95% in the second quarter of 2001 compared to approximately 96% in the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been through cash flow from operations, borrowings under various credit agreements and the issuance in July 1996 of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 10¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "10¹/2% Notes"). Since 1996, the Company has completed several expansion and remodeling projects, accounting for a significant use of cash flow from operations and borrowed funds. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude equity in net income of its unconsolidated affiliate was $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $19.4 million during the same period in 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $12.2 million for the same period of the prior year.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had $8.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $10.8 million available pursuant to its Credit Facility (as defined below). The net proceeds of the offering (the "Offering") by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eldorado Capital Corp., of the 10¹/2% Notes were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness under the Loan Agreement dated as of March 25, 1994, between the Company, the banks named therein and Bank of America NT&SA, as administrative agent (the "Former Credit Facility"). The Former Credit Facility was amended concurrently with the closing of the Offering to provide the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility in the original amount of $50 million (as amended, the "Credit Facility"). The amount of credit available pursuant to the Credit Facility reduced to approximately $25.0 million on June 30, 2001. On July 17, 2001, the Credit Facility was amended and restated (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $40 million. The amount of credit available pursuant to the New Credit Facility reduces by $1.6 million on March 31, 2003 and at the end of each subsequent quarter until March 31, 2006, when the facility terminates and any balance then outstanding becomes due and payable. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the greater of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its "Prime Rate" and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus .50% ("Base Rate") or (ii) a Eurodollar rate determined in accordance with the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's real property. The facility includes various restrictions and other covenants including: (i) restrictions on the disposition of property; (ii) restrictions on investments and acquisitions, (iii) restrictions on distributions to members of Resorts, (iv) restrictions on the incurrence of liens and negative pledges, (v) restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of guarantees, (vi) restrictions on transactions with affiliates and, (vii) restrictions on annual capital expenditures including capital leases. The New Credit Facility also contains financial covenants including a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio, a maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum equity requirement.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding (i) $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 10¹/2% Notes, (ii) $13.5 million of borrowings and an additional $0.7 million of letters of credit under the Credit Facility and (iii) $1.5 million of other long term debt (net of current portion).

The Operating Agreement of Resorts dated June 28, 1996 obligates Resorts to distribute each year for as long as it is not taxed as a corporation to each of its members an amount equal to such member's allocable share of the taxable income of Resorts multiplied by the highest marginal combined Federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to individuals for that year. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, Resorts made distributions of $3.75 million to its members as compared to $3.3 million during the same period in 2000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's principal uses of funds remaining after the aforementioned distributions were related to debt service, our investments in MindPlay and Tamarack Junction, discussed in Note 4, and recurring capital expenditures. Total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $3.7 million.

The Company's future sources of liquidity are anticipated to be from its operating cash flow, funds available from the New Credit Facility and capital lease financing for certain of its fixed asset purchases. The Company's anticipated uses of cash in the near term will be for recurring capital expenditures and debt service.
