Pending Acquisitions	Note 13. Pending Acquisitions On July 7, 2015, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, Circus Circus Casinos, Inc. and Galleon, Inc., subsidiaries of MGM Resorts International, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with respect to the acquisition of (i) all of the assets and properties of Circus Circus Reno and (ii) the 50% membership interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture owned by Galleon, Inc. (collectively, the "Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase"). ERI has unconditionally guaranteed the purchaser's obligations under the Purchase Agreement. ERI currently has an indirect interest in 48.1% of the interests of the Silver Legacy Joint Venture. In connection with the consummation of the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase, ERI expects to acquire the 1.9% indirect interest in the Silver Legacy Joint Venture held by ELLC. Following the consummation of the foregoing transactions, the Silver Legacy Joint Venture will be a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ERI. The proposed purchase price for the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase is $72.5 million, subject to a customary working capital adjustment, and the assumption of amounts outstanding under the Silver Legacy Joint Venture credit facility, of which $80.5 million was outstanding at September 30, 2015. In conjunction with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, ERI deposited $3.0 million in escrow, which it will surrender in the event the proposed acquisitions fail to close for reasons other than a breach by Circus Circus Casinos, Inc. or Galleon, Inc. The balance of the purchase price will be payable in cash at the closing of the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase. The Company expects to apply a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes, proceeds from the sale of common stock or borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand to pay the purchase price for the Circus Reno/Silver Legacy Purchase. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the approval of various gaming authorities. The Circus Reno/Silver Legacy transaction is expected to be consummated in November 2015, but there can be no assurance that the proposed acquisition will be consummated or as to the date by which the proposed acquisition will be consummated. The Company incurred $0.6 million in costs associated with the pending acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
