Item 5.  Other Events.
         The Company, through its subsidiary Debbie Reynolds Management Company,
Inc.,  has  entered  into a term sheet  with CS First  Boston  Mortgage  Capital
Corporation ("First Boston") providing for financing of $8.5 million, secured by
a first  mortgage on the Debbie  Reynolds Hotel and Casino  (including,  but not
limited to, the hotel, casino,  showroom,  museum and all other improvements) on
approximately 6.2 acres in Las Vegas, Nevada, an assignment of leases and rents,
reserves,  and certain other  collateral.  The financing  will be evidenced by a
two-year  senior note,  with  interest  payable at the rate of LIBOR (the London
Interbank  Offered  Rate) plus 500 basis  points,  payable  monthly in  arrears.
Subject to certain terms and conditions  outlined in the term sheet, the Company
may  borrow an  additional  $1.5  million.  If the  additional  $1.5  million is
borrowed,  the interest  rate on the entire  balance will increase to LIBOR plus
600  basis  points.  The term  sheet  provides  for a  lending  fee of  $500,000
($530,000 if the additional $1.5 million is borrowed),  payable $100,000 in cash
plus $100,000 of the Company's  common stock (subject to additional  deposits of
shares in the event the price of the Company's shares decreases)  immediately as
a deposit, and the balance of the fee payable at closing of the financing.

         The term sheet from First  Boston is not a  commitment  to provide  any
financing;  any such  commitment  would  arise  solely  pursuant  to a  mutually
executed  definitive  agreement.  Payment  of the cash and stock  deposit on the
lending fee is non-refundable, provided that First Boston provides the financing
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the term sheet. At closing of the
financing,  the portion of the deposit  not applied to First  Boston's  expenses
(due  diligence,  legal,  etc.) will be credited  against  the  funding  fee. In
addition,  at the  closing of the  financing,  the  Company is to grant to First
Boston an option to purchase at any time 500,000 shares of the Company's  Common
Stock at 110% of the market  price as of the date of the  execution  of the term
sheet,  which  options  will provide for  piggy-back  registration  rights.  The
funding fee shall be earned when First Boston,  in substantial  conformance with
the term sheet,  is prepared to provide the  financing,  or if First Boston does
not provide the  financing  as a result of the  Company's  failure to  cooperate
(i.e. provide timely information, negotiate legal documents, etc.).

         There can be no assurance that the proposed  financing will be provided
by First Boston on the terms and conditions  set forth in the term sheet,  or at
all.

Mr. Todd Fisher
Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino
305 Convention Center Drive
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109

Re:  The Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Dear Todd:

The purpose of this letter is to set forth the proposed  terms and conditions to
be  submitted  for  approval  to the  investment  committee  of CS First  Boston
Mortgage Capital Corporation or any of its affiliates (the "Lender" or "CS First
Boston") for CS First Boston to provide  senior  first-mortgage  financing  (the
"financing") to the Debbie Reynolds Management Company,  Inc., a single-purpose,
bankruptcy  remote  entity  controlled  by Debbie  Reynolds and Todd Fisher (the
"Borrower") secured by the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino (including,  but not
limited to the hotel,  casino,  showroom,  museum and all other improvements) on
+/-6.5  acres  in Las  Vegas,  Nevada  (the  "Property").  The  Borrower  hereby
represents that it owns the Property.

The  Financing  will be evidenced  by a senior note (the  "Senior  Note") in the
amount of $8,500,000  secured by a senior  mortgage of a like amount (the "First
Mortgage")  on the  Property.  The terms and  conditions  of the  Financing  are
subject to CS First Boston's commencement and completion of due diligence on the
Property and verification of Borrower's representations regarding the Property.

     Borrower:      The  Debbie  Reynolds  Management  Company,  Inc.,  a Nevada
                    Corporation,   a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  the  Debbie
                    Reynolds  Hotel  and  Casino,   Inc.,  a  corporation  whose
                    business  purpose is  restricted to owning and operating the
                    Property  and  which  is  structured  as  a  single-purpose,
                    bankruptcy-remote    entity.    The   Financing   shall   be
                    non-recourse to the Borrower except for standard  carve-outs
                    and  the  carve-outs  described  in the  sections  contained
                    hereinafter   entitled   "Bankruptcy"  and   "Interference",
                    respectively.

     Servicer:      CS  First  Boston,  or  other  entity  selected  by CS First
                    Boston.

     Loan Amount:   $8,500,000  (the "Loan  Amount").  43 rooms at the  Property
                    have been  converted to  condominium  units (the  "Unit(s)")
                    and/or time-share  conversion intervals (the "Interval(s)").
                    At or subsequent to the closing of the  Financing.  Borrower
                    may sell one or more Units  and/or  Intervals.  The  release
                    price  (the  "Release  Price")  paid to Lender for each Unit
                    sold  shall  equal  $100,000.  The  Release  Price  for each
                    Interval  sold  shall  equal:  i)  $1,250  if sold  prior to
                    receipt  by  Borrower  of  a  full   gaming   license   (the
                    "License");  or ii) $2,000 if sold after receipt by Borrower
                    of the  License.  Upon a payment of the  Release  Price on a
                    Unit or Interval,  the  principal  balance of the  Financing
                    shall be reduced by an amount  equal to the  Release  Price.
                    Borrower may not convert  additional  (beyond the current 43
                    rooms   that  have   already   been   converted)   rooms  to
                    condominiums  or  time-share  intervals  prior to  receiving
                    approval from Lender, in Lender's sole discretion,  for such
                    conversion. Borrower shall use $1,000,000 of the Loan Amount
                    to pay-off  existing  payables and $1,000,000 to establish a
                    working- capital reserve.

                              the   section    hereinafter    entitled   Forward

                              of $1,500,000 (the "Additional Loan Amount").  The
                              Additional  Loan  Amount  shall be  subject to the
                              same loan  documents  and terms  (except  that the
                              interest   rate  on  the  Loan   Amount   and  the
                              Additional Loan Amount will increase to Libor plus
                              600 Bps)  including  the maturity  date (24 months
                              from the funding of the Loan Amount).

Forward Commitment:           If Borrower has obtained the License  prior to six
                              months  after the date of the  funding of the Loan
                              Amount,  Lender  will  fund  the  Additional  Loan
                              Amount upon payment by Borrower to Lender of a fee
                              of $30,000.  Borrower shall pay Lender's  expenses
                              related to the  determination  of the  validity of
                              the  License  and  related  to the  funding of the
                              Additional Loan Amount.

Option:                       Upon  funding of the Loan Amount,  Borrower  shall
                              grant to Lender an option to  purchase at any time
                              500,000   shares  of  stock  of  Debbie   Reynolds
                              Hotel/Casino  Inc., at 110% of the market price as
                              of the date of the  closing of funding of the Loan
                              Amount  (Lender  shall have  piggy-back  rights of
                              registration).

Bankruptcy:                   In the event that  Borrower  files for  protection
                              under the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code,  either voluntary
                              or  involuntary  (if  commenced by  Borrower,  any
                              general partner or affiliate thereof or any person
                              acting in connection with any such person), Debbie
                              Reynolds and Todd Fisher (the "Principals")  shall
                              immediately  have   unconditional,   absolute  and
                              unlimited  recourse  for the  full  amount  of the

                              incurred by Lender relating to the Financing.

Interference:                 In the event that CS First Boston elects to pursue
                              any of its rights or remedies  available under the
                              Loan  Documents,  following an event of default by
                              Borrower  and  Borrower's  failure  to  cure  said
                              default  in  accordance  with the cure  provisions
                              contained in the loan  documents,  the  Principals
                              shall immediately have unconditional, absolute and
                              unlimited  recourse  for the  full  amount  of the
                              Financing and all losses, costs and expenses if CS
                              First  Boston is delayed,  hindered or  interfered
                              with in any  manner  by any  action  of  Borrower,
                              Principals or any of their  respective  affiliates
                              or agents.

Other Indebtedness:           The   Borrower    will   not   incur   any   other
                              indebtedness.

Loan Documents:               All  documentation  shall be in form  and  content
                              acceptable to CS First Boston, Servicer, and their
                              respective  counsel,  and  shall be  supported  by
                              acceptable  representations  and warranties of the
                              Borrower, opinions of counsel and proof of related
                              matters that counsel shall deem necessary.

Good Faith Deposit:           Upon  acceptance  of this  term  letter,  Borrower
                              shall pay to the Lender a good faith  deposit (the
                              "Good  Faith  Deposit")  in the amount of $100,000
                              cash  and  $100,000   worth  of  stock  in  Debbie
                              Reynolds    Hotel/Casino   Inc.   based   on   the
                              then-current  market  value of such stock.  If the
                              market  value of such stock shall  decline by more
                              than 20% Borrower  shall pay to Lender  additional
                              stock in an amount such that Lender  continues  to
                              hold $100,000 worth of such stock.  The Good Faith
                              Deposit  shall  be  non-refundable   provided  the
                              Lender  provides the Financing in accordance  with
                              the terms  contained  in this  letter  (with  such
                              modifications  as may be agreed  upon by  Borrower
                              and Lender) and Lender's  other general loan terms
                              (with such  modifications as may be agreed upon by
                              Borrower  and  Lender).  In the event  the  Lender
                              fails to provide the Financing, Lender will refund
                              the  Good  Faith   Deposit  less  its   reasonable
                              expenses   incurred   in   connection   with   the
                              Financing.  At  closing  of  the  Financing,   the
                              portion of the Good Faith  Deposit  not applied to
                              expenses will be credited against the Funding Fee.
                              The Funding Fee shall be earned  when  Lender,  in
                              substantial   conformance  with  this  letter,  is
                              prepared to provide the Financing. The Funding Fee
                              shall  also be earned if Lender  does not  provide
                              the Financing as a result of Borrower's failure to
                              cooperate   (i.e.   provide  timely   information,
                              negotiate  legal  documents,   etc.)  with  Lender
                              towards the closing of the Financing.
