Item 8.01 Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed on August 25, 2005, which disclosed the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. (“Harrah’s Entertainment”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which give effect to, among other things, Harrah’s Entertainment’s acquisition of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (“Caesars”).
Harrah’s Entertainment filed a current report on Form 8-K on September 14, 2005, to restate Caesars’ previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and the consolidated condensed financial statements of Caesars for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, to reflect the subsequent reclassification of certain operations to discontinued operations. Accordingly, Harrah's Entertainment is filing this 8-K/A so that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, included as an exhibit herewith, will agree to Caesars historical financial statements, as restated.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
