MISSION STATEMENT Special Populations Strengthening Sparks by protecting parks and natural resources and fostering recreation opportunities and special events that enhance our city’s image, economic vitality and quality of life. 2 City of Sparks WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR This past year, our Parks and Recreation team accomplished a 75% cost recovery rate; brought in approximately $24.4 million economic impact to the Truckee Meadows through the activities and tournaments at the Golden Eagle Regional Park; raised $15,000 for the Youth Scholarship Fund through the 17th Annual Mayor’s Cup Golf Tournament; named two future parks and received a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for a public art overlay plan for Victorian Square. This fall you’ll see new Sparks signage educating the public on our new smoke/vape free park ordinance. Your compliance is appreciated and assists us in providing healthy, clean and safe parks. I’m aware of the demand for our Youthwatch services which has created waiting lists. With a growing community and low unemployment rate, please know that we are doing everything we can to recruit, train and retain part-time staff to meet your needs.

(NASDAQ: ERI) (“Eldorado,” “ERI,” or “the Company”) announced today that it completed the previously announced purchase of MGM Resorts International’s (NYSE: MGM) 50 percent interest in the Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno, as well as the assets of Circus Circus Reno, for total consideration of $72.5 million cash plus a working capital adjustment. In addition, ERI repaid the entire outstanding balance of the Silver Legacy credit facility, which amounted to approximately $52.6 million on a net debt basis. The transaction was financed with cash on hand, cash from the escrow account established at the time of the Company’s July financings and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As a result, Eldorado has withdrawn its registration statement relating to a proposed common stock offering, the proceeds of which were intended to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Circus Circus Reno and 50% interest in the Silver Legacy joint venture. “The addition of Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Reno to our operations is consistent with our strategy to enhance shareholder value by pursuing strategically and economically attractive transactions,” said Gary Carano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado. “We are very excited to welcome the Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Reno employees to the Eldorado family at a time when the Reno gaming market and the northern Nevada economy is prospering.
