3 Transition details When will my plan move to Transamerica? Plan assets and records will transfer from Prudential to Transamerica on January 4, If you are currently participating in the MGM Resorts 401(k) Plan, your contributions for the payroll period in December will be deposited into the Eldorado Hotel & Casino Master 401(k) Plan at Transamerica. Information about this plan was previously provided. On January 6, 2016, those contributions will be transferred to your new Eldorado Resorts, Inc. 401(k) Plan. How will the transition work? The merger and transition to Transamerica will be as easy as possible for you. You don t need to re-enroll or complete any paperwork. Your balance and loans will transfer automatically, and you ll continue saving for retirement without interruption. Will my funds change? How will they transfer to Transamerica? Your employer is changing your plan s fund lineup. Your assets will transfer to a stable, cash-equivalent investment before you are subscribed to the Managed Advice service, which will adjust your investment mix after the transfer. Can I access my account during the transition? To ensure that assets and records transfer accurately, there will be a blackout period during which you won t be able to access either your account with Prudential or your new one with Transamerica. (This is standard procedure for updates to your retirement plan.) Because you won t be able to make changes to your account or initiate transactions such as investment transfers or withdrawals during the blackout period, you should carefully review the appropriateness, balance, and diversification of your investments at Prudential before the blackout period begins. The blackout will start at 4:00 p.m. ET on December 28, 2015, and is expected to be over the week ending January 29, Your account at Prudential will be liquidated on December 31, 2015, and transferred to Transamerica on January 4, While this means that your account will not be invested on the day it transfers to Transamerica, it will be fully invested the remainder of the time, and you will be credited with any investment gains (or debited with any losses) that apply during the blackout period. You will also be unable to access your account under the Eldorado Hotel & Casino Master 401(k) Plan that will contain your payroll contributions from December Starting on January 5, 2016, you will be unable to change your investments and request loans, withdrawals, distributions, and deferral changes at Transamerica under the Eldorado Hotel & Casino Master 401(k) Plan. eldorado.trsretire.com 3

4 What you should do Between December 14 and December 30, 2015, sign in at eldorado.trsretire.com or call to: 1. Review the Managed Advice service to make sure it s right for you. Unless you choose otherwise, you will be subscribed to Managed Advice automatically. If you d rather set, manage, and monitor your strategy on your own, you can cancel Managed Advice between December 14 and December 30, 2015 or any time after your plan has moved to Transamerica.

When you first sign in, you ll be asked to provide some basic financial information, such as your salary and any retirement savings you have outside the plan. This will give you a better idea of how you re doing today and what adjustments you may need to make for tomorrow. You ll also be prompted to provide your address, which will enable us to send you regular progress reports and other timely account information. 3. Name your beneficiary (ies). The beneficiary choices you made at Prudential will not transfer, so you should take a few minutes to designate a beneficiary(ies) with Transamerica. Otherwise, if you should die, your plan s rules will dictate where your account assets will go, which may not be what you d intended. (Note that if you re married and name someone other than your spouse as a primary beneficiary, you may need to complete and submit a spousal consent form.) 4. Review your investments. Once you set up your new account online, you can review your investments, including any new investment that may have been added to the plan. What if I receive recurring payments from the plan? Prudential will provide Transamerica with your payment information, and your payments will continue after the transition. If you are scheduled to receive a payment during the blackout period, Transamerica will send it after the blackout ends. (If you need to receive a payment sooner, contact Prudential before 4:00 p.m. ET on December 29, 2015.) 4
