Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Acquisition

 

On August 25, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada from Trilliant Gaming Nevada, Inc. for a purchase price of $357.7 million.  The purchase price for this cash transaction was funded by revolving commitments under the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility and approximately $280 million of incremental commitments under an amended senior secured credit facility.  The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in an increase to property and equipment, net, current assets, goodwill, other assets, current liabilities and other liabilities, of $365.5 million, $16.0 million, $14.8 million, $4.6 million, $25.8 million, and $17.4 million, respectively based on their estimated fair values at August 25, 2015.  The results of the Tropicana Las Vegas facility have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

 

The Tropicana Las Vegas facility is situated on 35 acres of land located on the Las Vegas Strip with 1,470 remodeled guest rooms and suites, a 50,000 square foot casino gaming floor featuring 775 slot and video poker machines and 36 table games including blackjack, mini-baccarat, craps and roulette, three full-service restaurants, a 1,200 seat performance theater, a 300 seat comedy club, a nightclub, beach club and 2,095 parking spaces.  We believe this acquisition fulfills our strategic objectives of obtaining a presence on the Las Vegas Strip.

Miller Trust and Illinois Funding, LLC in an all cash transaction.  The transaction was funded by revolving commitments under the Company’s amended senior secured credit facility.  The results of Prairie State Gaming have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
