2024 was another year of Creating the Extraordinary at Caesars Entertainment. We capped off our multi-year investments in capital funding, opening two new brick-and-mortar destinations with the opening of Harrah’s Columbus Racing & Casino in Nebraska and Caesars Virginia in Danville, Virginia. Additionally, we completed the transition of Harrah’s to Caesars New Orleans in the Big Easy. We also completed the expansion of Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino and the redesigned Versailles Tower at Paris Las Vegas and grew our extraordinary culinary offerings across the country with new restaurants by our longtime partners Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, Nobu Matsuhisa, Guy Fieri and many others. It was also a year to showcase Las Vegas as one of the biggest sports cities in the business. We hosted our first Super Bowl in Las Vegas as the official Casino Partner of Super Bowl LVIII. It was a landmark event, offering our guests memorable experiences across our eight Las Vegas resorts. We also hosted our second Las Vegas Grand Prix in November 2024. By the end of the year, we operated sports wagering in 32 jurisdictions across North America, 26 of which offered online sports betting and provided iGaming services in five jurisdictions. We launched our Horseshoe Online Casino app in October, offering our guests more ways to play. We remain steadfast in our commitment to our Corporate Social Responsibility practices, including our Responsible Gaming (RG) programming. In 2024, we celebrated 35 years of our pioneering RG program and were awarded the CSR Award by the National Council on Problem Gambling for our Universal Exclusion and 21+ Gaming policies. We also continue to focus on energy efficiencies across our destinations and making a difference in the communities in which we operate. What has always set us apart is our Family-Style Service culture, which we’ve cultivated over the years and reflects our attentiveness to the needs of our guests across all our offerings, something that each one of our Team Members is dedicated to across all our destinations in North America. We’re proud of our Team Members and our efforts throughout the year. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re looking forward to renovations at our Lake Tahoe destinations and continuing to build upon the legacy Caesars Entertainment has created over the last eight decades. I am pleased to invite you to our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, which will be held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. We will meet at the Eldorado Resort & Casino in Reno Nevada, where you can vote your shares.
