On January 15, 2015, CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Caesars Debtors”) voluntarily filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As a result of this filing, CEOC operated as a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code. CEOC’s plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on January 17, 2017.

VICI REIT was organized as a limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CEOC in Delaware on July 5, 2016 and was subsequently converted to a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. On May 5, 2017, VICI REIT issued common stock to CEOC in conjunction with VICI REIT’s conversion to a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of September 30, 2017, VICI REIT had not conducted operations and had no assets or liabilities.

On the Emergence Date , subsidiaries of CEOC transferred certain real estate assets (the “Properties”) and four golf course businesses (“Caesars Entertainment Outdoor”) to VICI REIT in exchange for 100% of VICI REIT’s common stock, series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and other consideration, including debt issued by certain subsidiaries of VICI REIT and the proceeds of mortgage backed debt issued by other subsidiaries of VICI REIT, for distribution to certain of CEOC’s creditors.

Following the Emergence Date, VICI REIT is a stand-alone entity initially owned by certain former creditors of CEOC. VICI REIT is primarily engaged in the business of owning, acquiring and developing gaming, hospitality and entertainment destinations. A subsidiary of VICI REIT leases the Properties to New CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries under lease agreements (the “Master Leases”). VICI REIT conducts its real property business through an operating partnership and its golf course business through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), Caesars Entertainment Outdoor. VICI REIT intends to make an election on its Federal income tax return for its taxable year ending December 31, 2017 to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

The balance sheets should be read in conjunction with the Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets to be Contributed to VICI Properties Inc. and the combined financial statements of Caesars Entertainment Outdoor, which are included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying balance sheets are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Statements of operations, cash flows and equity are not presented as there has been no activity since the date of inception through September 30, 2017.

VICI REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders to maintain its intended qualification as a REIT. To the extent VICI REIT annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any undistributed net taxable income. In addition, VICI REIT’s TRS will also be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates on any of its taxable income.

Reportable Segments

Our real property business and our golf course business will represent two reportable segments. The real property business segment will consist of leased real property and will represent the substantial majority of our business. The golf course business segment will consist of four golf courses, which each will be operating segments and will be aggregated into one reportable segment.

VICI Properties Inc. was organized as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 5, 2016 and was subsequently converted to a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. VICI REIT intends to elect to be treated as a “real estate investment trust” (“REIT”) for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2017, VICI REIT had not conducted operations and had no assets or liabilities.

On the Emergence Date, CEOC emerged from bankruptcy and completed the restructuring as contemplated by the Plan in which subsidiaries of CEOC contributed certain real estate assets (the “Properties”) and the assets and operations comprising CEOC’s four golf course businesses (“Caesars Entertainment Outdoor”) to VICI REIT (the “Transactions”). VICI REIT is an owner, acquirer and developer of gaming, hospitality and entertainment destinations.

The accompanying Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets reflects financial information as of September 30, 2017 relating to the owned real estate gaming and related facilities that were transferred from CEOC to VICI REIT on the Emergence Date.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets reflects the assets directly attributable to CEOC’s real estate holdings to be owned by VICI REIT, with the exception of Caesars Entertainment Outdoor. The Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets is combined on the basis of common control and is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Management believes the assumptions underlying the Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets are reasonable; however, the Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets may not necessarily reflect VICI REIT’s financial position in the future or what their financial position would have been had VICI REIT operated as a standalone company during the periods presented.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Prior to the Emergence Date, the Outdoor Business was a wholly-owned business of CEOC, and included the operations of the Cascata golf course in Boulder City, Nevada, the Rio Secco golf course in Henderson, Nevada, the Grand Bear golf course in Biloxi, Mississippi, and the Chariot Run golf course in Elizabeth, Indiana. Caesars Entertainment Golf, Inc., Rio Development Company, Inc., Grand Casinos of Biloxi, LLC, and Riverboat Casino, LLC, directly owned these golf courses, respectively, and were debtor-in-possession subsidiaries of CEOC.

The golf courses generate revenue through fees charged for general golf course usage (including green fees, golf club rentals, and cart charges), annual or corporate memberships (at Rio Secco, Grand Bear and Chariot Run), a school of golf (at Rio Secco), and food, beverage, and merchandise sales.

Bankruptcy

On January 15, 2015, CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Caesars Debtors”) voluntarily filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As a result of this filing, CEOC operated as a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code. Because each of the four golf courses were owned by Caesars Debtor entities, the Outdoor Business was also considered a debtor-in-possession prior to the Emergence Date. CEOC’s plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on January 17, 2017.

On the Emergence Date, subsidiaries of CEOC transferred the ownership of the Business to VICI REIT. Following emergence, VICI REIT is a separate entity initially owned by certain former creditors of CEOC.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable of interim periods, and therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The results for the interim periods reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire 2017 fiscal year.

The Business’ Financial Statements were derived from the financial statements of CEOC, prepared on a “carve-out” basis, to present the financial position and results of operations of the Outdoor Business on a stand-alone basis. The legal entities that own the Grand Bear and the Chariot Run golf courses also include non-golf course operations that are excluded from these carve-out financial statements.

The Financial Statements include allocations of certain revenue amounts and general corporate expenses among affiliated entities. Such allocated revenue and expenses may not reflect the results we would have incurred if we had operated as a stand-alone company nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results.

Management believes the assumptions and methodologies used in the allocation of these revenues and expenses are reasonable.

Each of the golf courses represents a separate operating segment and we aggregate all such operations into one reportable segment.

The Business’ Financial Statements reflect the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations. This guidance requires that transactions and events directly associated with the reorganization be distinguished from the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, the guidance provides for changes in the accounting and presentation of liabilities.

Golf Revenue

Golf revenue from CEOC and Caesars’ affiliates includes reimbursement for below market-rate golf tee times and free play for certain casino guests. Included in golf revenue are market-rate fees received from public customers as well as discounted fees received from CEOC and Caesars-affiliated customers or associates. In addition, certain VIP casino guests play the golf courses for free. In these cases, the golf course receives amounts paid by CEOC and Caesars’ affiliates at an agreed upon rate for the free play provided to their VIP guests. The reimbursement for free play was approximately $150,000 and $91,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $603,000 and $458,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

There are additional variable golf fees provided by CEOC and Caesars’ affiliates based on revenue shortfalls necessary to cover the cost of operating the courses at a high level appropriate for casino guests. The variable fee is dependent upon the number of rounds played, the types of rounds played (market-rate or discounted rate), and costs incurred to allow the golf course to continue to offer golf as an amenity to gaming customers of CEOC and Caesars’ affiliates. Variable golf fees included in golf revenue were approximately $2,695,000 and $2,076,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $4,570,000 and $4,068,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Subsequent Events

On the Emergence Date, subsidiaries of VICI Golf LLC, a subsidiary of the VICI REIT, entered into a golf course use agreement (the “Golf Course Use Agreement”) with New CEOC and Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC (“CES”) (collectively, the “users”), whereby the users were granted certain priority rights and privileges with respect to access and use of certain golf course properties. Payments under the Golf Course Use Agreement are comprised of a $10.0 million annual membership fee, use fees and minimum rounds fees. The annual membership fee, use fees and minimum round fees are subject to an annual escalator beginning at the times provided under the Golf Course Use Agreement.

The Business completed its subsequent events review through November 13, 2017, the date on which the Financial Statements were available to be issued, and noted no further items requiring disclosure.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates are required in order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions will be required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to: the application of fresh start reporting; the recognition of revenue from our leases; determining the useful lives of real estate properties; and evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets. The judgment on such estimates and underlying assumptions is based on our historical experience that we believe is reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances changes in the accounting estimates are likely to occur from period to period. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Leases

As a REIT, the majority of our revenues will be derived from rent received from our tenants under long-term triple-net leases. The accounting guidance under ASC 840—Leases (“ASC 840”) is complex and requires the use of judgment and assumptions by management to determine the proper accounting treatment of a lease. We will perform a lease classification upon lease inception, to determine if we account for the lease as a capital or operating lease.

Under ASC 840, for leases of both building and land, if the fair value of the land is 25% or more of the total fair value of the leased property at lease inception we consider the land and building separately for lease classification. In these cases, if the building element of the lease meets the criteria to be classified as a capital lease, then we account for the building as a capital lease and the land separately as an operating lease. If the building element does not meet the criteria to be classified as a capital lease, then we account for the building and land as a single operating lease.

To determine if the building portion of a lease triggers capital lease treatment we will conduct the four lease tests under ASC 840 as outlined below. If a lease meets any of the criteria below, it is accounted for as a capital lease.


1.	Transfer of ownership. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term. This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term.


2.	Bargain purchase option. The lease contains a provision allowing the lessee, at its option to purchase the leased property for a price which is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value of the property at the date the option becomes exercisable.


3.	Lease term. The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property. However, if the beginning of the lease falls within the last 25% of the total estimated economic life of the leased property, including earlier years of use, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease. This test is conducted on a property by property basis.

Minimum lease payments. The present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term, excluding the portion of payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception less any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor. If the beginning of the lease term falls within the last 25% of the total estimated economic life of the lease property, including earlier years of use, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease.

The tests outlined above, as well as the resulting calculations, require subjective judgments, such as determining, at lease inception, the fair value of the assets, the residual value of the assets at the end of the lease term, the likelihood a tenant will exercise all renewal options (in order to determine the lease term), the estimated remaining economic life of the leased assets, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee and the interest rate implicit in the lease. A change in estimate or judgment can result in a materially different financial statement presentation.

The revenue recognition model is different under capital leases and operating leases.

Under the operating lease model, as the lessor, at lease inception the land is recorded as Real Estate Investments Accounted for Using the Operating Method and we record rental income from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amount of annual minimum lease payments attributable to the land after deducting executory costs, including any profit thereon, is determined by applying our incremental borrowing rate to the value of the land. We record this lease income as Rental Income from Operating Leases.

Under the direct financing lease model, as the lessor, at lease inception we record the lease receivable as Real Estate Investments Accounted for Using the Direct Financing Method. Under the direct financing lease method, we recognize fixed amounts due on an effective interest basis at a constant rate of return over the lease term. As a result, the cash payments accounted for under direct financing leases will not equal the earned income from direct financing leases as a portion of the cash rent we receive is recorded as Earned Income from Direct Financing Leases and a portion recorded as a reduction to the Real Estate Investments Accounted for using the Direct Financing Method.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Following the Emergence Date, all of the real estate holdings of VICI REIT (other than Caesars Entertainment Outdoor) are leased to New CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries, and substantially all of VICI REIT’s revenues are derived from the Master Leases, which represents a concentration of credit risk due to the single tenant nature of our leases. Management believes that the corporate lease guaranty by New CEOC’s parent, CEC, and the rent coverage ratio mitigate this risk. Management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk.

Real Estate Investments

For real estate investments accounted for using the operating method, we will continually monitor events and circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amount of our real estate investments may not be recoverable or realized. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred or that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable, we use an estimate of the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows to determine whether the real estate investment is impaired. If the undiscounted cash flows plus net proceeds expected from the disposition of the asset is less than the carrying value of the assets, we recognize an impairment charge equivalent to the amount required to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. We group our real estate investments together by property, the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available, in evaluating impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value, we make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. Factors considered in performing this assessment include current operating results, market and other applicable trends and residual values, as well as the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition and other factors. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment loss.

For real estate investments accounted for using the direct financing method, our net investment in the direct financing lease is evaluated for impairment as necessary, if indicators of impairment are present, to determine if there has been an-other-than-temporary decline in the residual value of the property or a change in the lessee’s credit worthiness.

Income Taxes—REIT Qualification

We intend to elect to be taxed and qualify as a REIT for U.S. Federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2017, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner that permits us to qualify as a REIT beyond that taxable year end. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to shareholders, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to Federal income tax on income that we pay as distributions to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and distributions paid to our shareholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability created if we fail to qualify as a REIT could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates are required in order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to: the application of fresh start reporting; determining the useful lives of real estate properties; and evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets. The judgment on such estimates and underlying assumptions is based on our historical experience that we believe is reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances changes in the accounting estimates are likely to occur from period to period. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Following the Emergence Date, all of the real estate holdings of VICI REIT (other than those of Caesars Entertainment Outdoor) are leased to New CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries, and substantially all of VICI REIT’s revenues (other than those of Caesars Entertainment Outdoor) are derived from the underlying leases. Other than VICI REIT having a single tenant from which it derives substantially all of its revenue, management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk

Useful Lives of Real Estate Properties

Additions to land and buildings are stated at cost. We capitalize the costs of improvements that extend the life of the asset. We expense maintenance and repair costs as incurred. Gains or losses on the dispositions of property and equipment are recognized in the period of disposal.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease as follows:



Land improvements	12 years
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years

Long-Lived Assets

We have significant capital invested in our long-lived assets, and judgments are made in determining their estimated useful lives and salvage values and if or when an asset (or asset group) has been impaired. The accuracy of these estimates affects the amount of depreciation and amortization expense recognized in our financial results and whether we have a gain or loss on the disposal of an asset. We assign lives to our assets based on our standard policy, which is established by management as representative of the useful life of each category of asset.

We monitor events and circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amount of our real estate investments may not be recoverable or realized. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred or that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable, we use an estimate of the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows to determine whether the real estate investment is impaired. If the undiscounted cash flows plus net proceeds expected from the disposition of the asset is less than the carrying value of the assets, we recognize an impairment charge equivalent to the amount required to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. We group our real estate investments together by property, the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available, in evaluating impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value, we make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. Factors considered in performing this assessment include current operating results, market and other applicable trends and residual values, as well as the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition and other factors. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment loss. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the analysis and the Combined Statement of Investments of Real Estate Assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	9 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Sep. 30, 2017
New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Derivatives and Hedging - August 2017: This revised accounting guidance expands hedge accounting by making additional hedge strategies eligible for hedge accounting and amending presentation and disclosure requirements. The intent of these revisions is to simplify application of hedge accounting and increase transparency of information about an entity’s risk management activities. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements. Compensation - Stock Compensation - May 2017: Amendments in this update provide guidance regarding which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met: (i) the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as before the original award was modified. Amendments in this update are effective for all periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Application of amended guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Business Combinations - January 2017: Updated amendment intending to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business and to provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. Amendments should be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The amendments are effective to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is allowed as follows: (1) transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (2) transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Financial Instruments-Credit Losses - June 2016 (amended January 2017): Amended guidance that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Leases - February 2016 (amended January 2017): The amended guidance requires most lease obligations to be recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be implemented for the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commence before the effective date. The qualitative and quantitative effects of adoption are still being analyzed. We are in the process of evaluating the full impact the new guidance will have on our financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers - May 2014 (amended January 2017): The new guidance is intended to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP applicable to revenue transactions. Existing industry guidance will be eliminated. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for and identifying performance obligations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. The guidance should be applied using the full retrospective method or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We anticipate adopting this standard effective January 1, 2018. We have performed a preliminary assessment and anticipate this standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements. We expect the most significant effect will be related to the accounting for the golf course revenue, which will be immaterial to the operations of VICI REIT. However, the quantitative effects of these changes are being analyzed. We are assessing the full effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Income Taxes - October 2016: Amended guidance that addresses intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory, which requires the recognition of any related income tax consequences when such transfers occur. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows - August 2016: Amended guidance that addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Business Combinations - January 2017: Updated amendments intend to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business and to provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments are effective to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is allowed as follows: (1) Transactions for which acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (2) transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Financial Instruments-Credit Losses - June 2016 (amended January 2017): Amended guidance that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Leases - February 2016 (amended January 2017): The amended guidance requires most lease obligations to be recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be implemented for the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commence before the effective date.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]

Subsequent Events

Emergence Date

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, the historical business of CEOC was separated by means of a spin-off transaction whereby the Caesars Debtors’ real property assets (subject to certain exceptions) and golf course operations were transferred to VICI REIT. New CEOC and certain of New CEOC’s subsidiaries lease the transferred real property assets pursuant to the Master Leases. CEC guarantees the payment obligations of the tenants under the Master Leases and an affiliate of CEC manages the operating activities of such properties.

Management estimates that the properties transferred have a fair value range between $8.2 billion and $8.4 billion.

Accounting Impact of Emergence

Upon emergence, the Company will apply fresh start accounting to its consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending ended December 31, 2017 will reflect the consummation of the Plan and the adoption of fresh start accounting.

In the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocates the enterprise value to the fair value of assets and liabilities in conformity with the guidance for the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The amount remaining after allocation of the enterprise value to the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, if any, is reflected as goodwill and subject to periodic evaluation for impairment. In addition to fresh start accounting, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect all effects of the transactions contemplated by the Plan. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 will not be comparable to its balance sheet for periods prior to the adoption of fresh start accounting and prior to accounting for the effects of the Plan.

At emergence, management estimates that Real Estate Investments accounted for using the direct financing method have a fair value between $7.0 billion and $7.1 billion; Real Estate Investments accounted for using the operating method have a fair value between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion; and property and equipment transferred that is used in operations have a fair value between $50 million and $100 million. In accordance with the Plan, CEOC transferred $55.7 million of cash to the Company at emergence.

In addition, at emergence, the Company entered into debt agreements totaling $4.917 billion, of which $250.0 million was exchanged for shares of VICI REIT’s common stock on November 6, 2017 (see “The Mandatory Conversions” below).

Rentals under Direct Financing and Operating Leases

On the Emergence Date, VICI REIT entered into three Master Leases with New CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries. They include a separate lease for Caesars Palace Las Vegas (“CPLV Lease Agreement”) which provides for a fixed annual base rent for each of the first seven years of the lease term of $165.0 million per year; a separate lease for the Harrah’s Joliet facilities (“Joliet Lease Agreement”) in which the Company’s portion of the base rent for the first seven years of the lease term is 80% of $39.625 million per year; and a lease for all other properties leased to New CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries (“Non-CPLV Lease Agreement”) which provides for a fixed annual base rent for each of the first seven years of the lease term of $433.3 million per year. The Master Leases provide for an initial term of 15 years commencing on the Emergence Date, with no purchase option. At the option of New CEOC, the Master Leases may be extended for up to four five-year renewal terms beyond the initial term, on substantially the same terms and conditions. In addition, each lease agreement contains a fixed annual rent escalator on the base rent equal to the greater of 2% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index commencing on the second year of the lease with respect to the CPLV Lease Agreement and on the sixth year of the lease with respect to the Joliet and Non-CPLV Lease Agreements.

Golf Course Use Agreement

On the Emergence Date, subsidiaries of VICI Golf LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a golf course use agreement (the “Golf Course Use Agreement”) with New CEOC and Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC (“CES”) (collectively, the “users”), whereby the users were granted certain priority rights and privileges with respect to access and use of certain golf course properties. Payments under the Golf Course Use Agreement are comprised of a $10.0 million annual membership fee, use fees and minimum rounds fees. The membership fee is subject to increase or decrease, as applicable, whenever rent under the Non-CPLV Lease Agreement is adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Non-CPLV Lease Agreement; and the adjusted membership fee will be calculated based on the proportionate increase or decrease, as applicable, in rent under the Non-CPLV Lease Agreement. The use fees and minimum round fees are subject to the Annual Escalator beginning at the times provided under the Golf Course Use Agreement.

Common Stock and Preferred Stock

Effective on the Emergence Date, the Company has authority to issue 750,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), of which 12,000,000 shares has been classified as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”).

On the Emergence Date, the Company issued 177,160,494 shares of common stock and 12,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $300.0 million ($25 per share) to CEOC and certain of its subsidiaries in exchange for the Properties and Caesars Entertainment Outdoor. CEOC distributed such shares to certain of its creditors and to certain backstop parties.

Pursuant to the Plan and a Backstop Commitment Agreement dated September 12, 2017, the backstop purchasers agreed, or otherwise had the right, to purchase a specified number of the shares of the Series A preferred stock for cash, with the cash proceeds of such purchases being paid to certain creditors of CEOC. An aggregate of 6,002,907 shares of Series A preferred stock were purchased by the backstop purchasers on the Emergence Date (the “Backstop Shares”) at a price of $20.83 per share and an aggregate of 5,997,093 shares of Series A preferred stock were issued to certain creditors of CEOC as a portion of the recovery on account of their claims.

The Mandatory Conversions

On November 6, 2017, all of the Series A preferred stock automatically converted into 51,433,692 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Mandatory Preferred Conversion”). No additional consideration was payable in connection with the Mandatory Preferred Conversion.

In addition, on the Emergence Date, CPLV Mezz 3, a special-purpose parent entity of CPLV, issued a junior tranche of CPLV Mezzanine Debt in an amount of $250.0 million to institutional accredited investors, which debt automatically converted into an aggregate of 17,630,700 shares of the Company’s common stock on November 6, 2017 (the “Mandatory Mezzanine Conversion”). No additional consideration was payable in connection with the Mandatory Mezzanine Conversion.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On the Emergence Date, VICI PropCo and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a first lien credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among VICI PropCo, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, governing the senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities provide for senior secured financing consisting of senior secured first lien term loans (“Term Loans”) distributed to certain of CEOC’s creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan in an aggregate principal amount of $1,638.4 million which mature in 2022. The senior secured credit facilities have capacity to add incremental loans in an aggregate amount of: (a) $60.0 million plus (b) $1,450.0 million plus (c) additional amounts, subject to the borrower and its restricted subsidiaries not exceeding certain leverage ratios.

VICI PropCo will pay interest quarterly on the Term Loans at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to (i) with respect to any ABR borrowings, the sum of ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 2.50% and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency borrowings, the sum of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Credit agreement) and 3.50%. The senior secured credit facilities mature on October 15, 2022.

VICI PropCo’s material, domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries, other than CPLV, certain CPLV-related entities and VICI FC Inc. are guarantors. The senior secured credit facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of VICI PropCo and the restricted subsidiary guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock of the wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries held by VICI PropCo and the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of any capital stock of first-tier foreign subsidiaries held by VICI PropCo and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to exceptions.

Under the senior secured credit facilities, VICI PropCo is required to meet specified leverage ratios in order to take certain actions, such as incurring certain debt. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants.

The Term Loans are prepayable at VICI PropCo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, at prices defined in the credit agreement, provided, however, that no “make-whole” or prepayment premium shall be payable in the event of any voluntary prepayment in cash of all Term Loans prior to the six-month anniversary of the issuance of such loans on the Emergence Date.

First Lien Notes

On the Emergence Date, VICI PropCo and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VICI FC Inc. (together, the “notes co-issuers”) entered into an indenture (the “First Lien Indenture”) with UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee, governing the $311.7 million in aggregate principal amount of First-Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2022 (the “First Lien Notes”) issued pursuant to the Plan. The First Lien Notes mature on October 15, 2022.

The notes co-issuers will pay interest quarterly on the First Lien Notes at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the sum of LIBOR (as defined in the First Lien Indenture), with a floor of 1.00%, and 3.50%.

The First Lien Notes are senior secured obligations and rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The First Lien Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the subsidiary guarantors that guarantee indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities and are secured by a first-priority security interest, subject to permitted liens, in the collateral that also secures the senior secured credit facilities. Neither VICI REIT nor certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo, including CPLV and its subsidiaries, are subject to the covenants of the indenture governing the First Lien Notes or are guarantors of the First Lien Notes.

The First Lien Indenture contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding First Lien Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the First Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The First Lien Notes are redeemable at VICI PropCo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time-to-time at prices defined in the indenture. No premium is payable upon redemption if all of the first lien notes are redeemed on or before April 15, 2018. In addition, prior to the first anniversary of such issuance, up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes may be redeemed at VICI PropCo’s option with the net cash proceeds of certain issuances of common or preferred equity by VICI PropCo or VICI REIT, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes redeemed plus a premium equal to the interest rate per annum on the First Lien Notes in effect on the date on which notice of redemption is given plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date; provided, however, that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes must remain outstanding after any such redemption.

Second Lien Notes

On the Emergence Date, VICI PropCo and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VICI FC Inc entered into an indenture (the “Second Lien Indenture”) among the notes co-issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto from time to time, and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee, governing the $766.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “Second Lien Notes”) issued pursuant to the Plan. The Second Lien Notes mature on October 15, 2023.

The notes co-issuers will pay interest semi-annually on the Second Lien Notes at a rate per annum of 8.00%.

The Second Lien Notes are senior secured obligations and rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The Second Lien Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the subsidiary guarantors that guarantee indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities and the First Lien Notes and secured by a second-priority security interest, subject to permitted liens, in the same collateral that secures the senior secured credit facilities and the First Lien Notes. Neither VICI REIT nor certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo, including CPLV and its subsidiaries, are subject to the covenants of the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes or will be guarantors of the Second Lien Notes.

The Second Lien Indenture contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Second Lien Notes are redeemable at VICI PropCo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time-to-time, at the prices defined in the indenture. In addition, prior to the third anniversary of such issuance, up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes may be redeemed at VICI PropCo’s option with the net cash proceeds of certain issuances of common or preferred equity by VICI PropCo or VICI REIT, at a price equal to 108% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date; provided, however, that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes must remain outstanding after any such redemption.

CPLV Debt

On the Emergence Date, CPLV and its special-purpose parent entities entered into loan documents governing $2,200.0 million of debt borrowed from third parties, including (i) $1,550.0 million of asset level real estate mortgage financing from various third-party financial institutions (the “CPLV CMBS Debt”), and (ii) three tranches of mezzanine debt in the aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million (the “CPLV Mezzanine Debt,” and together, the “CPLV Debt”). The proceeds of the CPLV Debt were distributed to certain of CEOC’s creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

CPLV CMBS Debt

The $1,550.0 million of CPLV CMBS Debt is secured by all of the assets of CPLV, including, but not limited to, CPLV’s (1) fee interest (except as provided in (2)) in and to CPLV, (2) leasehold interest with respect to Octavius Tower, and (3) interest in the CPLV Lease Agreement and all related agreements, including the Master Lease Agreements. The CPLV CMBS Debt is a first priority lien, subject only to permitted encumbrances and an obligation to repay a specified sum with interest. The CPLV CMBS Debt was evidenced by certain promissory notes and secured by a deed of trust that created a mortgage lien on the fee and/or leasehold interest of CPLV.

The CPLV CMBS Debt matures on October 10, 2022. Interest payments are due monthly on the CPLV CMBS Notes at a rate per annum of 4.36%.

The loan documents governing the CPLV CMBS Debt contain covenants limiting CPLV’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of its assets; and (iv) allow transfers of its direct or indirect equity interests.

CPLV Mezzanine Debt

On the Emergence Date, three direct and indirect special-purpose parent entities of CPLV issued $650.0 million of CPLV Mezzanine Debt, which was placed by various third-party financial institutions. The CPLV Mezzanine Debt was issued in three tranches: senior, intermediate and junior, in an aggregate amount of $200.0 million, $200.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. The proceeds from such financing were distributed to certain CEOC creditors pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Each tranche of CPLV Mezzanine Debt was secured by each borrower’s equity interests in its direct wholly-owned subsidiary. The CPLV Mezzanine Debt is an obligation to repay the principal amount with interest, and is evidenced by one or more promissory notes and secured by, among other things, a pledge of equity interests or other similar security instrument that creates a lien on the equity interests held by the respective special purpose entity.

The loan documents governing the CPLV Mezzanine Debt contain covenants limiting each issuer’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of its assets; and (iv) allow transfers of its direct or indirect equity interests.

Each of the three tranches has, or had, in the case of the junior tranche, a contractual maturity date of October 31, 2022. Interest payments are, or were, in the case of the junior tranche, due monthly on each tranche of the CPLV Mezzanine Debt at a rate per annum of 6.75% on the senior tranche, 7.45% on the intermediate tranche, and 8.07% on the junior tranche, respectively.

The junior tranche of $250.0 million was automatically exchanged for 17,630,700 shares of the Company’s common stock on November 6, 2017.

Subsequent Events

As discussed in Note 1, CEOC emerged from bankruptcy on October 6, 2017 and in connection with the restructuring, contributed to VICI REIT land and buildings with a book value of approximately $4.8 billion, net of accumulated depreciation.

Management estimates that the properties transferred have a fair value range between $8.2 billion and $8.4 billion

The Company completed its subsequent events review through November 13, 2017, the date on which the Financial Statements were available to be issued, and noted no further items requiring disclosure.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition - Leases


1.	Transfer of ownership. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term. This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term.


2.	Bargain purchase option. The lease contains a provision allowing the lessee, at its option to purchase the leased property for a price which is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value of the property at the date the option becomes exercisable.


3.	Lease term. The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property. However, if the beginning of the lease falls within the last 25% of the total estimated economic life of the leased property, including earlier years of use, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease. This test is conducted on a property by property basis.

The revenue recognition model is different under capital leases and operating leases.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	9 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2017
New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Derivatives and Hedging - August 2017: This revised accounting guidance expands hedge accounting by making additional hedge strategies eligible for hedge accounting and amending presentation and disclosure requirements. The intent of these revisions is to simplify application of hedge accounting and increase transparency of information about an entity’s risk management activities. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements. Compensation - Stock Compensation - May 2017: Amendments in this update provide guidance regarding which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met: (i) the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as before the original award was modified. Amendments in this update are effective for all periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Application of amended guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Business Combinations - January 2017: Updated amendment intending to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business and to provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. Amendments should be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The amendments are effective to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is allowed as follows: (1) transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (2) transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Financial Instruments-Credit Losses - June 2016 (amended January 2017): Amended guidance that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Leases - February 2016 (amended January 2017): The amended guidance requires most lease obligations to be recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be implemented for the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commence before the effective date. The qualitative and quantitative effects of adoption are still being analyzed. We are in the process of evaluating the full impact the new guidance will have on our financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers - May 2014 (amended January 2017): The new guidance is intended to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP applicable to revenue transactions. Existing industry guidance will be eliminated. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for and identifying performance obligations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. The guidance should be applied using the full retrospective method or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We anticipate adopting this standard effective January 1, 2018. We have performed a preliminary assessment and anticipate this standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements. We expect the most significant effect will be related to the accounting for the golf course revenue, which will be immaterial to the operations of VICI REIT. However, the quantitative effects of these changes are being analyzed. We are assessing the full effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Income Taxes - October 2016: Amended guidance that addresses intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory, which requires the recognition of any related income tax consequences when such transfers occur. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows - August 2016: Amended guidance that addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued the following authoritative guidance amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Business Combinations - January 2017: Updated amendments intend to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business and to provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments are effective to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is allowed as follows: (1) Transactions for which acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (2) transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Financial Instruments-Credit Losses - June 2016 (amended January 2017): Amended guidance that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Leases - February 2016 (amended January 2017): The amended guidance requires most lease obligations to be recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be implemented for the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commence before the effective date. The qualitative and quantitative effects of adoption are still being analyzed. We are in the process of evaluating the full impact the new guidance will have on our financial statements. Revenue Recognition - May 2014 (amended January 2017): This new guidance is intended to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP applicable to revenue transactions. Existing industry guidance will be eliminated. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for and identifying performance obligations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. The guidance should be applied using the full retrospective method or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We anticipate adopting this standard effective January 1, 2018. We have performed a preliminary assessment and anticipate this standard will not have a material effect on our financial statements. Income Taxes - October 2016: Amended guidance that addresses intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory, which requires the recognition of any related income tax consequences when such transfers occur. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows - August 2016: Amended guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise	Liabilities Subject to Compromise On March 25, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing May 26, 2015 as the bar date for potential general creditors to file proofs of claims and established the required procedures with respect to filing such claims. A bar date is the deadline by which creditors must file a proof of claim against the Caesars Debtors for the claim to be allowed. In addition, a bar date of July 14, 2015 was established as a deadline for claims from governmental units. As of September 30, 2017, the Business had received 55 proofs of claim, a portion of which assert, in part or in whole, unliquidated claims. These proofs of claims include 9 claims that were carved out of the legal entities that own the Business and that have additional claims, which do not correspond to the Business. In addition, the Business has been assigned by the court an additional 13 claims. In the aggregate, total asserted liquidated proofs of claim for approximately $122.2 million had been filed against or assigned to the Business. Based on reasonable current estimates, the Business expects to ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow 19 claims representing approximately $116.3 million of such claims. These claims are classified by the Business as amended and replaced, duplicate, redundant or non-Caesars Debtor claims. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, liabilities subject to compromise was approximately $249,000 and $265,000, respectively, and consisted of accounts payable-related liabilities. On October 6, 2017, the Business settled claims included in liabilities subject to compromise for $125,000 recognizing a reorganization gain of $124,000. In addition, approximately $5.1 million of claims are still disputed and unresolved and have been transferred to New CEOC for final resolution.
