Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

We view each casino property and CIE as operating segments and aggregated all such casino properties and CIE into four reportable segments based on management’s view of these properties, which aligns with their ownership and underlying credit structures: CEOC, CERP, CGP Casinos, and CIE. CGP Casinos is comprised of all subsidiaries of CGP LLC excluding CIE. CIE is comprised of the subsidiaries that operate CGP LLC’s social and mobile gaming operations and WSOP. CEOC is a reportable segment; however, it was deconsolidated effective January 15, 2015 (see Note 4).

The results of each reportable segment presented below are consistent with the way CEC management assesses these results, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the impact of certain transactions between reportable segments within Caesars, as described below. Accordingly, the results of certain reportable segments presented in this filing differ from the financial statement information presented in their stand-alone filings.
