Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2018

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	Level 1
(in millions)	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Restricted cash	$	38.8	$	31.2

Our restricted cash that is held in interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

We currently have no other assets or liabilities subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis. Our 4.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Senior Notes") are disclosed at fair value which is based on unadjusted quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The fair value of the Senior Notes was $466.9 million at September 30, 2018 and $496.8 million at December 31, 2017.

The carrying amounts of the borrowings under the $700.0 million revolving credit facility and $400.0 million Senior Secured Term Loan B due 2024 (the "2017 Credit Agreement") approximate fair value, based upon current interest rates, representing a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Refer to Note 6, Acquisitions, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs on a non-recurring basis in connection with the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction.
