========== ==========
In March 1999, Coast Hotels issued $175.0 million principal amount of 9.5%
senior subordinated notes with interest payable on April 1 and October 1,
beginning October 1, 1999, and entered into a $75.0 million senior secured
revolving credit facility due 2004 to facilitate a refinancing. Availability
under the credit facility was increased to $200.0 million in September 1999.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a premium
over the one-, two-, three- or six-month London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"). As of June 30, 2000 the interest rate was 8.40%. Coast Hotels incurs
a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, on the unused portion of the
credit facility. This variable fee is currently at the maximum rate of 0.5% per
annum times the average unused portion of the facility.

COAST RESORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
With the proceeds from the senior subordinated notes and borrowings under
the credit facility, Coast Hotels repurchased substantially all of the $175.0
million principal amount outstanding of its 13% first mortgage notes and all
$16.8 million principal amount outstanding of its 10-7/8% first mortgage notes
and amended the indenture under which the 13% first mortgage notes were issued
to eliminate substantially all of its restrictive covenants. Approximately $2.0
million in principal amount of the 13% first mortgage notes remains outstanding
and is governed by the terms of the amended indenture. We are required by the
indenture for the 9.5% senior subordinated notes to redeem the 13% first
mortgage notes that remain outstanding no later than December 15, 2000 at a
redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest. Interest on the remaining $2.0 million of the first mortgage notes is
payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. In connection with the repurchase
of the 13% notes and the 10-7/8% notes, Coast Hotels incurred repurchase
premiums of $31.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The repurchase
premiums and the write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs and original
issue discount resulted in an extraordinary loss of $27.0 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999, net of applicable income tax benefit of $14.5
million.
The availability under the $200.0 million credit facility will be reduced
quarterly beginning in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2001. The initial
advance of $47.0 million under the credit facility was used in connection with
the repurchase of the 13% first mortgage notes and the 10-7/8% first mortgage
notes. Subsequent advances under the credit facility may be used for working
capital, general corporate purposes, construction of the Suncoast and certain
improvements to our existing properties. As of June 30, 2000, Coast Hotels had
$98.6 million outstanding under the credit facility.
The $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility agreement
contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to pay dividends,
to make certain capital expenditures, to repay certain existing indebtedness, to
incur additional indebtedness or to sell material assets. Additionally, the loan
agreement requires that we maintain certain financial ratios with respect to
leverage and fixed charge coverage. We are also subject to certain covenants
associated with the indenture governing the $175.0 million principal amount of
senior subordinated notes, including, in part, limitations on certain restricted
payments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and asset sales. We believe
that, at June 30, 2000, we were in compliance with all covenants and required
ratios.
NOTE 3 - TREASURY STOCK
In May 1999, our board of directors authorized the potential repurchase of
up to 50,000 shares of common stock from stockholders at a maximum aggregate
repurchase price of $5.0 million. On June 29, 2000 we repurchased 15,800 shares
of common stock from shareholders at a purchase price of $1,580,000. As of June
30, 2000, we have repurchased a total of 31,175 shares of common stock from
shareholders at a total purchase price of $3.1 million.

the Suncoast, are being capitalized during construction.
(2) "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
deferred (non-cash) rent expense and certain non-recurring items, including
pre-opening expenses. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to
operating income or net income (as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance, or as an alternative to cash flows generated by operating,
investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of cash flows or a
measure of liquidity. EBITDA is presented solely as supplemental disclosure
because management believes that it is a widely used measure of operating
performance in the gaming industry. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in
the same manner. As a result, EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable
to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Results of Operation (Continued)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
Net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $94.5 million compared
to $88.6 million in the same quarter in 1999, an increase of 6.7%, primarily due
to improved casino revenues at each of our hotel-casinos. Revenues were higher
at all three of our hotel-casino properties. Second quarter operating income was
$15.1 million compared to 1999 second quarter operating income of $12.8 million,
an increase of 16.4%. Operating income improvements at each of our three
existing hotel-casinos were partially offset by $874,000 of pre-opening expenses
related to our newest hotel-casino, the Suncoast, which is expected to open in
the fall of 2000. Net income improved to $7.0 million in the second quarter of
2000, compared to net income of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 1999.
In the six months ended June 30, 2000, net revenues were $194.1 million
compared to $178.6 million in the first six months of 1999, an increase of 8.7%,
primarily due to improved casino revenues at each of our hotel-casinos.
Operating income in the six-month period was $36.2 million compared to $28.5
million in the first six months of 1999, an increase of 24.9%. Operating income
improved at each of our three existing hotel-casinos, but was partially offset
by pre-opening expenses of $1.1 million related to the Suncoast. Net income was
$17.6 million in the first six months of 2000 compared to a net loss of $16.0
million in the first six months of 1999. The loss in the first half of 1999 was
primarily due to a one-time charge of $27.0 million, net of income tax benefit,
as a result of the early retirement of debt in March 1999. Net income before the
extraordinary charge was $11.0 million in the first six months of 1999.
Casino. Casino revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $68.7
million compared to $64.6 million in 1999, an increase of 6.5%. Casino revenues
improved at all three of our hotel-casinos, primarily due to improved customer
wagering volume in our table games and slot machine areas. In the first six
months of 2000, casino revenues were $142.8 million compared to $130.6 million
in the first six months of 1999, an increase of 9.3%. The increase was
attributable to improved customer wagering volume at each of our three
hotel-casinos.
Casino expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by 4.4% over
the same quarter in 1999, primarily due to increased promotional expenses at the
Gold Coast and the Orleans. The casino operating margin improved in the second
quarter of 2000 to 51.3% compared to 50.4% in the second quarter of 1999.
Year-to-date, casino expenses increased by 5.1% over the first six months of
1999, and the casino operating margin improved to 52.8% for the period compared
to 50.9% in the prior year.
Food and Beverage. Food and beverage revenues were $19.1 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to $17.8 million in 1999, an increase of
7.3%. The increase was primarily due to increased customer volume and higher
prices at the Orleans' new buffet that opened in May 1999, as well as the
addition in April 2000 of two new restaurants at the Orleans. Year-to-date, food
and beverage revenues were $38.8 million compared to $35.6 million in 1999, an
increase of 9.1%. The increase was attributable to the expanded buffet and the
two new restaurants at the Orleans.
Food and beverage expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased
by 10.4% over the same period in 1999, primarily due to increased staffing and
higher food costs in the Orleans' new buffet, as well as expenses related to the
two new restaurants that opened in the quarter. Year-to-date, food and beverage
expenses increased by 11.8%, primarily due to the new restaurants discussed
above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

Results of Operations (Continued)
Hotel. Hotel room revenues were $8.2 million in the three months ended June
30, 2000, an increase of 9.9% over 1999 revenues of $7.5 million, despite a
slight decrease in room occupancy percentages that we believe is attributable to
increased competition from three new hotel-casinos opened in 1999 on the Las
Vegas Strip. An increase in average daily room rates from $50 in the second
quarter of 1999 to $56 in the second quarter of 2000 contributed to the
increased revenues. Hotel operating margins improved to 61.0% from 56.9% in the
second quarter as revenues increased and expenses remained flat compared to the
prior year.
In the first six months of 2000, hotel revenues were $16.5 million compared
to $15.3 million in the same period in 1999, an increase of 7.7%. A slight
decline in occupancy percentages at each of our three hotels was offset by an
increase in the average daily room rates from $53 in the first half of 1999 to
$58 in the first half of 2000. Hotel operating margins improved to 61.5% in the
first half of 2000 compared to 59.2% in the first half of 1999, due to the
increased revenues and only a slight (1.7%) increase in expenses.
Other. Other revenues were relatively flat compared to the prior year, up
0.8% in the second quarter and down 0.5% in the first six months. Other expenses
declined 1.1% in the second quarter and 3.7% year-to-date, primarily due to a
decline in entertainers' fees at the Orleans as a result of fewer nights booked
in the showroom.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
2.6% to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $15.6 million in
1999. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, general and administrative expenses
were $32.2 million compared to $31.0 million in the same period in 1999, an
increase of 4.0%. The increases were due, in part, to July 1999 wage increases
at our three hotel-casinos. Additionally, an expansion completed in May 1999 at
the Orleans resulted in higher utility costs and increased staffing in several
ancillary departments. General and administrative expenses include cash rent
expense of $675,000 and $1.2 million in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Cash rent was $1.4 million in the first six months of 2000 and
$2.3 million in the first six months of 1999. Cash rent is lower in 2000 because
rent on the Suncoast land has been capitalized since July 1999, when
construction of that project commenced.
Pre-opening Costs. Pre-opening costs related to the development of the
Suncoast are expensed as incurred. These costs were $874,000 and $1.1 million in
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. There were no
pre-opening costs in the first six months of 1999.
Deferred Rent. Deferred rent in the second quarter of 2000 was $519,000
compared to $914,000 in the second quarter of 1999. Year-to-date, deferred rent
was $1.0 million in 2000 compared to $1.9 million in the first six months of
1999. The decrease in deferred rent is due to the capitalizing of rent on the
Suncoast land described above.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was
$5.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $5.3 million in 1999. In
the six months ended June 30, 2000, depreciation and amortization expense was
$11.0 million compared to $10.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The increases were primarily due to the addition of new equipment at each of our
hotel-casino properties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have consisted of cash provided by
operating activities and debt financing. Cash provided by operating activities
was $25.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $29.6
million in 1999.
Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$77.9 million and was primarily for capital expenditures, including $65.2
million for the ongoing construction of the Suncoast. Our anticipated capital
expenditures for 2000 are $162.8 million, including $149.9 million for
construction of the Suncoast, $9.7 million for maintenance capital expenditures
at our three existing hotel-casinos and $3.2 million for various projects,
including new restaurants at the Orleans and a remodeling of the bowling center
at the Gold Coast. Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of
1999 was $17.9 million, primarily for capital expenditures.
Cash provided by financing activities was $41.7 million in the first six
months of 2000, primarily from borrowings under our $200.0 million line of
credit. In the first six months of 1999, cash used in financing activities was
$22.1 million, due primarily to a refinancing of our debt. In March 1999, Coast
Hotels issued $175.0 million principal amount of 9.5% senior subordinated notes
with interest payable on April 1 and October 1 beginning October 1, 1999 and
entered into a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2004
to facilitate a refinancing. Availability under the credit facility was
increased to $200.0 million in September 1999. Borrowings under the credit
facility bear interest, at our option, at a premium over the one-, two-, three-
or six-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). As of June 30, 2000, the
interest rate was 8.40%. Coast Hotels incurs a commitment fee, payable quarterly
in arrears, on the unused portion of the credit facility. This variable fee is
currently at the maximum rate of 0.5% per annum times the average unused portion
of the facility.
With the proceeds from the senior subordinated notes and borrowings under
the credit facility, Coast Hotels repurchased substantially all of the $175.0
million principal amount outstanding of 13% first mortgage notes and all $16.8
million principal amount of 10-7/8% first mortgage notes and amended the
indenture under which the 13% first mortgage notes were issued to eliminate
substantially all of its restrictive covenants. Approximately $2.0 million in
principal amount of the 13% first mortgage notes remains outstanding and is
governed by the terms of the amended indenture. We are required by the terms of
the indenture for the 9.5% senior subordinated notes to redeem the 13% first
mortgage notes that remain outstanding no later than December 15, 2000 at a
redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest. In connection with the repurchase of the 13% notes and the 10-7/8%
notes, Coast Hotels incurred repurchase premiums of $31.0 million and $2.1
million, respectively. The repurchase premiums and the write-offs of unamortized
debt issuance costs and original issue discount resulted in an extraordinary
loss of $27.0 million, net of applicable income tax benefit of $14.5 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
The availability under the $200.0 million credit facility will be reduced in
quarterly amounts beginning in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2001. The
initial advance of $47.0 million under the credit facility was used in
connection with the repurchase of the 13% first mortgage notes and the 10-7/8%
first mortgage notes. Subsequent advances under the credit facility may be used
for working capital, general corporate purposes, construction of the Suncoast,
and certain improvements to our existing properties. As of June 30, 2000, Coast
Hotels had $98.6 million outstanding under the $200.0 million credit facility.
We believe that existing cash balances, operating cash flow and available
borrowings under the $200.0 million credit facility will provide sufficient
resources to meet our debt and lease payment obligations, foreseeable capital
expenditure requirements at our existing properties and construction,
development and opening costs of the Suncoast.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates
and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and
commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk
associated with our long-term debt. To date, we have not invested in derivative-
or foreign currency-based financial instruments. We attempt to limit our
exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed-rate
borrowings and short-term borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility.
