Miss. – October 2, 2007 – Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., (NYSE:HET) today
announced through its subsidiary, Harrah’s Operating Company, a strategic
alliance with Food Network star, Paula Deen, and an approximately $45
Million renovation of Grand Casino Resort Tunica. The 560 seat, Paula Deen’s
Buffet is expected to open in May 2008. In conjunction with the renovation,
the Grand Casino Resort Tunica’s name will change to Harrah’s Casino Tunica.

for May 2008.

largest gaming market in the United States, is further proof that Harrah’s
Entertainment is committed to continue to enhance our network of branded
properties around the world,” said John Payne, central division president,
Harrah’s Entertainment.
The installation of Paula Deen’s buffet at the newly named Harrah’s Casino
Tunica will be the beginning of the transformation of the entire second
floor into an entertainment promenade consisting of three retail outlets,
three food outlets including Paula Deen’s Buffet, Replays Sports Bar and
Grill, and Murano’s Italian Restaurant. Additional vendors and outlets are
still in negotiations.
Bill Wright, General Manager for the Grand Casino noted, “We are pleased to
work with Paula Deen at Harrah’s Casino Tunica. We believe this will be a
tremendous draw to our property and to the market since this restaurant will
be second only to the Lady and Son’s in Savannah, Georgia.”
“I am so excited to be able to work with Harrah’s on this project and be
able to bring my vision and food to the all my fans and the new Harrah’s
Casino in Tunica, Mississippi,” said Paula Deen.
