Debtors entered into both the Credit Facility and the Indenture during the firsthalf of 2005. With the proceeds of such used to retire the existing debt, and to refurnish andrehabilitate the Property as the Casino Hotel, Debtors were highly, but not unreasonably,leveraged. Under the business circumstances prevailing at the time of these transactions, suchleverage would not have hindered Company's business operations or precipitated the filing ofthese Chapter 11 Cases. However, after these transactions, but prior to their repayment, theeconomy in the United States sharply declined, devastating the hotel and gaming industry.Subsequently, the United States economy went into a severe recession, with gaming revenuesfalling dramatically and sources of financing for the hotel and gaming industry becominglimited, if not disappearing altogether. Most significantly, the recession has deeply affectedClark County, Nevada, due to its reliance on tourism and construction, by dramaticallydecreasing tourism, convention, and gaming revenues in recent years.47. According to the Gaming Revenue Report from the State of Nevada, GamingControl Board, Tax and License Division (the "Gaming Revenue Report") for year endedDecember 31, 2010, after three consecutive years of decline, Clark County, Nevada showed animprovement over 2009 of 0.8% in gaming revenue. A review of the Gaming Revenue Reportfor the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 at $9,034,885,000 reveals a 2.05% increase over the$8,886,229,000 in the same period last year. Such figures, however, remain substantially lower,by <strong>16</strong>.9%, than the $10,868,554,000 in reported gaming revenue for the same period in 2007 atthe onset of the recession. See Gaming Revenue Reports, State of Nevada Gaming ControlBoard, available at: http://gaming.nv.gov/documents/gaming_revenue_rpt.htm.48. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors' Authority (the "LVCVA"),the December year-to-date visitor statistics for 2010 report the volume of visitors to Las Vegas at37,335,436, reflecting a slight increase of 2.7% over the same period in 2009.

See LVCVA2011 Las Vegas Year-To-Date Executive Summary, available at:http://www.lvcva.com/getfile/37/ES-May2011.pdf. Albeit hopeful signs of recovery, the 2010visitor volume was still less than the visitor volume reported for the same period in 2007, at theonset of the recession, at 39,196,761 visitors, nearly 7% greater visitor volume than thatexperienced in 2010. See LVCVA 2007 Las Vegas Year-To-Date Executive Summary,http ://www.lvcva.com/getfile/350/ES-YTD2007%20Final.pdf.49. In addition to the decline in visitor volume from 2007, the room inventory hasincreased from 132,947 rooms in December 2007, to 147,611 in May 2011, an increase of14,664 rooms (or an increase of 11.1%). See id.; see also LVCVA 2011 Las Vegas Year-To-Date Executive Summary, available at: http://www.lveva.com/getfile/37/ES-May2011.pdf. Thisincrease in competition coupled with the decline in visitor count caused a decline in the averagedaily room rate ("ADR") from $132.09 in 2007 to $94.91 in 2010, a decrease of $37, or 28.1%.The ADR has averaged $106.44 year-to-date through May 2011, during the traditionally strongconvention season, when the ADR averaged $140 for that period in 2007. See id.50. The Casino Hotel, with less than 700 rooms, represents less than 0.5% of the totalroom inventory in Las Vegas, which means Company's ADR is subject to the discounting of anyof its large competitors, who appear to have discounted rooms as deeply as necessary to increasetheir occupancy rates, or used their other property offerings to cross market during the currenteconomic turndown.51. In sum, Company has been faced with declining hotel and casino revenues basedon increased price and promotional competition, additional properties opening on the Las VegasStrip, reduced consumer spending, a tightened credit market, and an overall weakened economy.These market-driven challenges manifested after Company leveraged itself with the CreditFacility and the Indenture, thus leaving Company in a highly precarious position at a time whenit most needed robust financial performance./ / // / /<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc18

Company's net revenues in 2010 were $43.6 million, a decrease of $3.2 million,or 6.8%, from $46.8 million in 2009. This is consistent with the steady declines in revenuesCompany has experienced since 2007. In 2007, the net revenues were $66.5 million, decliningin 2008 to $60.1 million, a decline of $6.4 million, or by 9.6%. In 2009, the net revenues fell to$46.8 million, an additional decline of $13.3 million, or 22.1%. Company has been able topartially offset these revenue declines by cutting operating costs to $47.7 million in 2010, asavings of $19.7 million, or 29.2%, from operating costs of $67.4 million in 2007.53. Company has been particularly affected by declines in its casino business.Company's casino revenues in 2010 were $15.6 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 13.6%,from $18.1 million in 2009, and a decrease of $9.4 million, or 37.6%, from $25 million in 2008.Casino revenues are comprised primarily of slot machine and table game revenues. Slot machineand table game revenues decreased primarily due to less wagering as a result of the slowereconomy, reduced hotel occupancy and less walk-in business. Slot machine win per unit per dayin 2010 was $43, a decrease of $6, or 12.2%, from $49 in 2009, and a decrease of $24, or 35.8%from $67 in 2008.54. Company's hotel and other revenues in 2010 were $14.9 million, a decrease of$0.1 million, or 1.0%, from $15.0 million in 2009, and a decrease of $5.8 million, or 28.0%,from $20.7 million in 2008. The decrease in room rental revenues was primarily due to adecrease in average daily room rates. The ADR was $46 in 2010, a decrease of $3, or 6.1%,from $49 in 2009, and a decrease of $20, or 30.2%, from $66 in 2008. Hotel room occupancyper available room at the Casino Hotel in 2010 was 86.7% as compared to 87% in 2009 and91.6% in 2008.55. Food, beverage, and entertainment revenues in 2010 were $17.5 million, adecrease of $1.2 million, or 6.4%, from $18.7 million in 2009, and a decrease of $4.6 million, or20.8%, from $22.1 million in 2008. The decline is due to a reduced number of food covers by2728 / / /4.0% and fewer drinks being served.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/684085_10.doc19

In addition, Company holds cash in the amount of $4,245,964 in bank accounts.3. Defaults on Agreements.59. Debtors were unable to make the interest payments (the "Interest Payments") onthe Senior Secured Notes due April 1, 2009, October 1, 2009, April 1, 2010, October 1, 2010,and April 1, 2011. Debtors' inability to make such Interest Payments caused an event of defaultto occur under the Indenture, as well as under the Credit Facility Agreement (the "InterestPayment Default").60. Additionally, Company has not provided control agreements for one or moredeposit accounts that it established and maintained as required under the Credit FacilityAgreement. This failure to provide such control agreements caused a second event of default tooccur under the Credit Facility Agreement (the "Control Agreement Default," and together withthe Interest Payments Default, the "Events of Default").61. As a result, on April 7, 2009, Agent on behalf of Original Credit Facility Lendersissued to Debtors that certain Notice of Default and Reservation of Rights (the "Initial Notice"),as such notice was supplemented by that certain Notice of Default, Imposition of Default Rate ofInterest, and Reservation of Rights issued to Debtors on April 29, 2009, by Agent on behalfOriginal Credit Facility Lenders (the "April 2009 Notice"), as such notice was furthersupplemented by that certain Notice of Default and Reservation of Rights Letter, issued toDebtors on June 11, 2009, by Agent on behalf of Original Credit Facility Lenders (the "June2009 Notice"), as such notice was further supplemented by that certain Notice of Default andReservation of Rights Letter, issued to Debtors on December 11, 2009, by Agent on behalf ofOriginal Credit Facility Lenders (the "December 2009 Notice," collectively with the InitialNotice, the April 2009 Notice, and the June 2009 Notice, the "Default Letters").62.

Following the Default Letters, Debtors entered into discussions with the SeniorSecured Note Holders and the Original Credit Facility Lenders to attempt to negotiateforbearance agreements pursuant to which they would agree not to exercise, for a specifiedperiod of time, their respective remedies under the Indenture or the Credit Facility Agreement.Such discussions continued with Canpartners, in its capacities as both the Credit Facility Lenderand a Senior Secured Noteholder, following Canpartners' acquisition of the Credit Facility andthe Senior Secured Notes.64. However, as the Events of Default remained uncured and outstanding, on January6, 2011, Canpartners, in its capacity as Credit Facility Lender, issued to Debtors the CreditFacility Acceleration (as previously defined).65. Additionally, also due to the uncured and outstanding Events of Default, onFebruary 1, 2011, US Bank, in its capacity as Successor Senior Secured Indenture Trustee,issued to Debtors the Indenture Acceleration (as previously defined).66.

Efforts at Financial Restructuring.68. As a result of Debtors' inability to service the obligations owing under the CreditFacility and the Senior Secured Notes, in 2010, Debtors retained the services of <strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong> astheir restructuring counsel and Alvarez & Marsal as their financial advisors.69. Since their retention, <strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong> and Alvarez & Marsal have been providingthe following services to Debtors:a. Analyzing the various strategic alternatives available to Debtors (e.g. debtrestructuring, debt refinancing, divestitures, reorganization, etc.)b. Reviewing and analyzing the business operations, liquidity situation,assets and liabilities, financial condition, and prospects of Company;c. Reviewing and analyzing Company's business plan, operating and capitalexpenditures budgets, loan agreements and bond indentures and multi-year financialprojections under various operating scenarios;d. Preparing for the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases; ande. Assisting and advising Debtors in connection with Debtors' efforts withrespect to structuring, negotiating and affecting any potential restructuring of Debtors'outstanding indebtedness or obligation (including, without limitation, the Credit Facilityand the Senior Secured Notes).70. As a result of these efforts and analysis, Debtors believe that the enterprise valueof Company's business as of the Petition Date is such that the value of the Collateral securing theCredit Facility and the Senior Secured Notes exceeds the Credit Facility Obligations, but is lessthan the Senior Secured Notes Obligations.71. In addition, (i) as a result of these efforts and analysis, (ii) the performance of theCompany's business up to the Petition Date, and (iii) the projected performance of Company'sbusiness in the ordinary course during these Chapter 11 Cases and the expenditure of capitalexpenditures as proposed in the Budget attached to the Cash Collateral Stipulation, Debtorsconclude that the enterprise value of Company's business and the Collateral will not diminish.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/684085_10. doc23

Debtors have commenced their Chapter 11 Cases in response to their debtobligations and the aforementioned market challenges. Debtors' transition into Chapter 11proceedings must be comprehensively and effectively organized to ensure that they will be ableto operate smoothly in bankruptcy and be afforded the opportunity to successfully emerge fromtheir Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, it is critical that Company maintains strong relationshipswith its customers, employees, partners, vendors, creditors, gaming regulators and othergovernmental entities, and such other parties that enable Company to conduct its business. Tomaintain and foster these relationships, it is important to minimize the distractions to Company'sbusiness operations that could result from Debtors petitioning for Chapter 11 relief73. I have reviewed and am generally familiar with the contents of each of the FirstDay Motions. Based on that familiarity and information supplied to me by other members ofDebtors' management and Debtors' various business and legal advisors, I believe that the reliefsought in each of the First Day Motions is necessary to enable Debtors to operate in theirChapter 11 Cases with minimal disruption or loss of productivity or value. I also believe that theFirst Day Motions are vital to Debtors' successful reorganization and are in the best interests ofDebtors and their creditors.74. The First Day Motions include the following pleadings filed by Debtors in theirrespective Chapter 11 Cases:(a) Company's Emergency Motion For Order Directing Joint Administration OfDebtors' Chapter 11 Cases Under Federal Rule Of Bankruptcy Procedure 1015(b)("Company's Joint Administration Motion"); and Finance Corp.'s Emergency MotionFor Order Directing Joint Administration Of Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases Under FederalRule Of Bankruptcy Procedure 1015(b) ("Finance Corp.'s Joint Administration Motion"and together with Company's Joint Administration Motion, the "Joint AdministrationMotions");(b) Debtors' Application For Order Approving Employment Of The Garden City<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/684085_10.doc24

The relationship between Debtors is such that Finance Corp. is an "affiliate" ofCompany, as that term is defined in Section 101(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, of Company.Specifically, Finance Corp. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company that neither holds assetsnor conducts operations of its own. Furthermore, Debtors share the same management, maintainconsolidated books and records, and are generally viewed as one business enterprise.76. Due to the affiliated nature of Debtors' interdependent financial and operationalrelationship, the joint administration of these Chapter 11 Cases will provide significantadministrative convenience. Specifically, the joint administration of these Chapter 11 Cases willbenefit Debtors' Estates by obviating the necessity of filing duplicate motions and applications,entering duplicate orders, and preparing and providing duplicate notices to creditors and partiesin-interest,thus avoiding unnecessary time and expense. Additionally, given the joint andseveral liability of Debtors under the Credit Facility and the Indenture, any reorganization ofthese Debtors will require a joint and coordinated approach including, in all probability, a jointlyproposed plan of reorganization.B. GCG Employment Application.77. Debtors have determined that in order to carry out their duties as provided forunder Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, it is necessary and in the best interest ofthe Estates to employ an experienced claims and noticing agent. Debtors desire to employ GCGas their claims and notice agent.78. Debtors' engagement of GCG as claims and noticing agent is therefore expresslyauthorized under 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) and Bankruptcy Rule 2002, and Debtors believe thatengaging GCG in such capacity will expedite the service of Rule 2002 notices, streamline theclaims administration process, and permit Debtors to focus on their reorganization efforts.79. Furthermore, Debtors respectfully submit that the fees and expenses that would beincurred by GCG under the proposed engagement would be administrative in nature and,therefore, should not be subject to standard fee application procedures of professionals.80. The fees to be charged by GCG in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases are set<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc26

GCG has received a $25,000 retainer from Debtors.Debtors respectfully submit that GCG's rates for its services in connection with the notice,claims processing and solicitation services are competitive and comparable to the rates chargedby their competitors for similar services.C. Customer Deposits Motion.81. As of the Petition Date, Company had hotel room reservation deposits for postpetitiondates. Numerous prospective guests and other customers had placed deposits for hotelrooms they intended to occupy or facilities they intended to use (the "Customer Deposits"). Inaddition, some of these hotel room reservations had been placed by travel agencies, whichpursuant to commission agreements, are entitled to receive commissions when such sites areoccupied and the customers pay their bills (the "Travel Agent Commissions").82. Also, as of the Petition Date, Company held proceeds from tickets for liveentertainment shows purchased by numerous customers prior to the Petition Date forperformances to be held at the Casino Hotel on post-petition dates (the "Show Tickets"). Inaddition, Company held proceeds received for live entertainment performances that occurred ondates prior to the Petition Date (the "Ticket Proceeds"). Pursuant to their contracts withCompany, the live entertainers are entitled to receive a portion of the Ticket Proceeds.83. Company requests that the Court enter an order authorizing it without furtherorder of this Court to honor all prepetition Customer Deposits, Travel Agent Commissions,Show Tickets, and Ticket Proceeds.84. Maintaining the satisfaction and goodwill of prospective guests and othercustomers is imperative to the success of any reorganization by Debtors. If Company is unableto honor advance deposits for hotel room reservations, its operations will be severely affected.85. Likewise, travel agents will be unlikely to direct their future customers toCompany if prepetition deposits and commission agreements are not honored. This would havea substantial chilling effect on the operation of Company's business. Consequently, maintainingthe satisfaction and confidence of travel agents is imperative to Company's on-going businessoperations and the success of any reorganization by Debtors.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc27

Similarly, if Company is unable to honor pre-petition show ticket purchases,Company faces the prospect of many dissatisfied customers and the loss of goodwill, both ofwhich will severely affect Company's operations.87. Furthermore, if Company is prohibited from fulfilling its obligations to transferticket proceeds to its contracted entertainers, Company's relationships with them will bejeopardized, which in turn could disrupt Company's operations.88. Thus, maintaining the satisfaction and confidence of Company's patrons and itscontracted entertainers by honoring the pre-petition show ticket purchases and fulfilling itsobligations to transfer ticket proceeds to its entertainers is imperative to Company's on-goingbusiness operations and the success of any reorganization by Debtors.89. As of the Petition Date, Company estimates that it is holding Customer Deposits,Travel Agent Commissions, Show Tickets, and Ticket Proceeds payable by Company in theamount of $353,671. With respect to Finance Corp., which operation does not include a hotel,Company hold no Customer Deposits, Travel Agent Commissions, Show Tickets, or TicketProceeds.90. Company has sufficient cash on hand to honor all of the foregoing obligations forCustomer Deposits, Show Tickets, Travel Agent Commissions, and Ticket Proceeds.91. The relief requested herein is in the best interests of Debtors' Estates, as it willhave little, if any, economic impact on Company's creditors, while preserving for the creditorsinvaluable customer goodwill and travel agent and contracted entertainer confidence. It isnecessary that this Court grant the relief requested herein to facilitate continued operation ofCompany's business. The importance of Company's customer and entertainer loyalty and theneed to encourage travel agents to continue booking business for customer is critical.D. Casino Chips Motion.92. To promote customer loyalty, Company utilizes a player's club program (the"Owl Rewards Club") at the Casino Hotel, which permits players to earn points based on gamingplay, which can be redeemed for slot bonus play, food, beverages, and various othercomplimentary items. The Owl Rewards Club is Company's primary tool for building customer<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/684085_10.doc28

It would be extremely detrimental to Company's casino operations and customerloyalty if its customer programs (the "Customer Programs") were interrupted or discontinued.Such Customer Programs include, but are not limited to, player cards and slot machine playercards such as the Owl Rewards Club.94. It would be extremely harmful to Company's casino operations if they wererequired to distinguish between pre-petition and post-petition casino chips, EZ Pay Tickets,wagers, promotions, and progressive liability. In addition to the expenses that would arise fromdevising and implementing a system for making such distinctions, there undoubtedly would be achilling effect on casino operations if each such claim had to be examined for the purpose ofascertaining whether the claim arose pre or post-petition.95. Finally, Company's failure to honor Gaming Liabilities would also likely causesubstantial regulatory compliance issues with applicable gaming authorities. Company's failureto honor its Gaming Liabilities would jeopardize Debtors' gaming licenses, without whichCompany's casino operations would cease entirely depriving Company of any potential revenuegenerating opportunity from that aspect of its business.96. Additionally, the importance of Company's customer loyalty cannot beunderestimated. Company operates in a competitive environment where there are many casinosand slot machines available for customers to patronize. As such, if Company does not honorimmediately its Gaming Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of its business and continueits Customer Programs, Company's customers will simply turn to Company's numerouscompetitors to gamble. Those customers will gamble where collecting on casino chips orotherwise redeeming assets owing to them from gaming activity does not present an issue. Anysuch customer defection and losses in customer loyalty would be disastrous to Debtors'prospects to successfully reorganize.97. Company's failure to honor its Gaming Liabilities and its Customer Programswould devastate customer confidence in Company's business also presenting Company with thepossibility of revenues losses that far exceed the cost associated with honoring and continuing<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc29

Indeed, in order to operate effectively in its Chapter 11 Case, Company must beable to exchange its casino customers' cash for casino chips and EZ Pay Tickets, and vice versa,redeem its casino customers' points for prizes, and disburse to its casino customers' slot machinepayouts and jackpots to which they are entitled.E. Wages and Employee Obligations Motion.99. As of the Petition Date, Company employed approximately 701 full and part-timeemployees ("Employees") in the ordinary course of its business. Continued service by theEmployees is vital to Company's ongoing operations.100. As of the Petition Date, the Employees were owed or had accrued in their favor,various sums from Company for wages and salaries incurred in the ordinary course ofCompany's business, including any prepetition compensation (collectively, the "WageObligations"). The total estimated amount of Wage Obligations that will have accrued, butremain unpaid, as of the Petition Date is approximately $495,326. Company pays its Employeeson a bi-weekly payroll cycle. The last payroll was made on July 26, 2011.101. Company is required by law to withhold from its Employees' wages amountsrelated to federal, state, and local income taxes, as well as social security and Medicare taxes andto remit the same to the appropriate taxing authorities. To the extent Company has deductedfunds from the Employees' paychecks sufficient to pay prepetition taxes, withholding taxes andFICA contributions attributable to Wage Obligations, which are due but have not been paid yetto any governmental entity, Company seeks authorization to continue to deduct these funds andpay them to such governmental entities in the ordinary course of business.102. In addition, Company is required to make matching payments from its own fundson account of social security and Medicare taxes, and to pay, based on a percentage of grosspayroll (and subject to state-imposed limits), additional amounts to the taxing authorities for,among other things, state and federal unemployment insurance. Company seeks authorization tocontinue to pay these funds in the ordinary course of business.103.

As of the Petition Date, Company estimates the totalGarnishments withheld at approximately $1,464. Company requests permission to pay over anysuch withholdings in the ordinary course of business.104. In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, Company has accrued amountsfor contributions to 401(k) retirement plans, health and benefit programs and voluntary insuranceplans, pertaining to services rendered by the Employees prior to the Petition Date (collectively,the "Employee Benefit Plans"). These benefits include health plans (i.e. medical, dental, vision,and life insurance), flexible spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care, variouswelfare plans (i.e. life insurance, disability insurances, accidental death and dismembermentinsurance, long-term care and critical illness insurance), and other employee assistanceprograms. These employee benefit contributions (the "Employee Benefit Contributions") are anintegral part of the compensation to which the Employees are entitled. The amount of EmployeeBenefit Contributions which will have accrued, but will remain unpaid, prior to the Petition Dateare estimated to be $27,688.19.105. Company also permits Employees to accrue various paid time off, pursuant towhich Employees are eligible, in certain circumstances, to receive their full wages for, amongother things, vacation and/or personal days, among other matters (the "Vacation & PTOAccruals"). If an Employee does not use the Vacation & PTO Accruals and subsequently leavesCompany's employment, he or she may receive payment for such unused Vacation & PTOAccruals. The amount of Vacation & PTO Accruals that will have accrued but will remainunpaid prior to the Petition Date is estimated to be $191,555.106. In the ordinary course of their employment, certain authorized Employees mayhave used their own personal credit cards or expended their own personal funds on behalf of andfor the benefit of Company ("Reimbursable Business Expenses").

Employees renderedservices and incurred Reimbursable Business Expenses in anticipation of receiving their standardcompensation and reimbursements; however, as of the Petition Date, such obligations mayremain unpaid and unreimbursed. Company cannot provide a definitive amount of ReimbursableBusiness Expenses as of the Petition Date, but based upon prior business practices, wouldestimate that amount does not exceed $10,000. Company seeks authorization to pay suchReimbursable Business Expenses in the ordinary course of business.107. If Company is unable to take the necessary steps to ensure that wages and taxesare paid for the pay period commencing immediately prior to the Petition Date and concludingpost-petition, there is a significant risk that large numbers of essential Employees will resign andthat those Employees that remain will be discontented and demoralized.108. Company has sufficient cash on hand to honor all of the foregoing employeerelated obligations as set forth herein.109. Continued payment of Wage Obligations, Employee Benefit Contributions, andReimbursable Business Expenses, as well as the honoring of Vacation and PTO Accrual, andmaintaining their workers' compensation system, are essential to preserve the morale and tomaintain positive relations between Company and its Employees. If the relief requested in theMotion is not granted, the success of Debtors' reorganization will be placed in substantialjeopardy.F. Utilities Motion110. In the ordinary course of its business, Company incurs utility expenses for water,sewer service, electricity, gas, telephone service, interne service, cable television, and wastemanagement. These utility services are provided by the utilities (as such term is used in Section366, collectively, the "Utility Providers") limited to those listed on the Utility Service Listattached as Exhibit "2" to the Utilities Motion.111. On average, Company collectively expends approximately $148,800 each monthon utility costs. As of the Petition Date, Company owes payments to several of the Utility28<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc32

Preserving utility services on an uninterrupted basis is essential to Company'songoing operations and, therefore, to the success of its reorganization. Any interruption of utilityservices, even for a brief period of time, would disrupt Company's ability to continue servicingits customers, thereby negatively affecting customer relationships, revenues and profits. Such aresult could jeopardize Debtors' reorganizations efforts and, ultimately, value and creditorrecoveries. It is therefore critical that utility services continue uninterrupted during theseChapter 11 Cases.113. Company intends to pay the Invoices and the postpetition obligations owed to theUtility Providers in a timely manner. Company expects that it will have ample liquidity, basedupon Cash on Hand and cash flow from operations, to pay the Invoices and its postpetitionobligations to Utility Providers.114. One of Company's Utility Providers, namely Las Vegas Valley Water District("LVVW") held a sizeable deposit from as of the Petition Date. Specifically, LVVW held adeposit in the amount of $9,000.00 (the "LVVW Deposit"), which amount reflects nearly sixty(60%) percent of the cost Company incurred for water with LVVW for the month of July 2010,the month typically reporting Company's highest rate of water consumption.115. To provide additional assurance of payment for future services to the UtilityProviders, that did not hold deposits from Company on the Petition Date (collectively, the "OtherUtility Providers"), Company has deposited $74,400 (a sum equal to 50% of Company'sestimated cost of its monthly utility consumption (the "Proposed Adequate Assurance") into aseparate, interest-bearing account (the "Utility Deposit Account"). The Utility Deposit Accountwill provide still further assurance of future payment, over and above Company's ability to payfor future utility services in the ordinary course of business based upon its existing cash on handand cash flow from operations.15 On the Friday prior to the Petition Date, Company received invoices (collectively, the "Invoices") from NVEnergy in the amount of $128,555.26, LVVW in the amount of $13,767.27, CenturyLink in the amount of$4,698.42, Sprint in the amount of $1,375.99, and T-Mobile in the amount of $3,598.05. Due to the timing of thereceipt of the Invoices, such balances remain outstanding.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc33

Company submits that the LVVW Deposit and Proposed Adequate Assuranceprovide protection well in excess of that required to grant sufficient adequate assurance to theUtility Providers.117. Company has sufficient resources to pay, and intend to pay, all valid postpetitionobligations for utility services in a timely manner, especially considering that the aggregateamount of Company's utility obligations is not overwhelming.118. In addition, Company has a powerful incentive to stay current on its utilityobligations because of Company's reliance on utility services for the operation of its business.119. The proposed Procedures are necessary for Debtors to carry out theirreorganization efforts.120. If they are not approved, Company could be forced to address a host of requestsby its Utility Providers in a disorganized manner during the critical first weeks of theirreorganization.121. Moreover, Company could be blindsided by a Utility Provider unilaterallydeciding--on or after the thirtieth day following the Petition Date--that it is not adequatelyprotected and discontinuing service or making an exorbitant demand for payment to continueservice. Discontinuation of utility service, particularly electricity at the Property, couldessentially shut down operations, and any significant disruption of operations could put Debtors'reorganization efforts in jeopardy.122. Under the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, Debtors assert that theestablishment of a cash reserve, in an amount that is substantial relative to Company's estimatedmonthly utilities consumption, especially in light of the fact that LVVW already holds a sizeabledeposit, constitutes adequate assurance of payment under Section 366(c).123. Prior to the Petition Date, Company used its best efforts to contact all of its UtilityProviders and get specific and personal contact information (i.e., not just the general Post Officebox where payments are remitted) where notices of bankruptcy and this Motion could be sent,including but not limited to fax and e-mail addresses to allow for immediate delivery when suchinformation was available.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc34

To manage its business efficiently and seamlessly, Company utilizes a centralizedcash management system (the "Cash Management System") to collect and transfer fundsgenerated by its operations and disburse those funds to satisfy the obligations required to operateits business.125. As part of the Cash Management System, Company proposes to maintain itsexisting bank accounts (collectively, the "Bank Accounts") post-petition which are maintainedby Company's banks (the "Banks"). The Bank Accounts are essential for Company's continuedoperations.126. The Bank Accounts generally include as follows: (i) a main depository account("Operating Account"); (ii) an account for payment of payroll and payroll related charges("Payroll Account"); (iii) an account for the deposit and disbursement of travel agentcommissions ("Travel Account"); (iv) an account for the deposit and disbursement of employeepayroll deductions for 401k contributions to John Hancock, the third-party 401k investmentcompany ("401k Account"); (v) an account for the deposit and disbursement of employee payrolldeductions for Cafeteria 125 Plan contributions ("Café 125 Account"); and (vi) an account forthe deposit of credit card payments ("Credit Card Account").127. Company's primary source of revenue is gaming and hotel revenues. Many ofCompany's customers pay its bills by means of credit cards. Thus, Company also has amerchant account (the "Merchant Account," together with the Bank Accounts, the "Accounts")through which payments made through credit card companies, such as Visa, MasterCard, andDiscover, are processed. After processing the credit card customer drafts, the proceeds aredeposited into the Credit Card Account. A summary detailing the Bank Accounts and theMerchant Account is attached hereto as Exhibit "24."128. Company has been advised that it would take a substantial amount of time toobtain a new Merchant Account.

The absence of credit card services wouldmaterially and adversely affect Company's business.129. As of the Petition Date, customer drafts relating to such credit cards were invarious stages of collection.

Company's Cash Management System is an ordinary, usual and importantbusiness practice. The Cash Management System enables Company to maintain control over thereceipt and disbursement of cash, and to generate timely and accurate financial informationcritical to operations during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases. If these practices andprocedures are disrupted, Debtors' effort to reorganize may be jeopardized.131. Company's Cash Management System is similar to those commonly employed bycorporate enterprises of comparable size and complexity. Many corporate enterprises use thesecash management systems because such systems provide numerous benefits. Among the mostimportant of these benefits is the ability to control corporate funds and ensure cash availability,to reduce administrative expenses, and to have easy access to timely and accurate financialinformation.132. Establishing a new cash management system would entail significant delay andcost. At a minimum, substantial disruptions to Company's business would occur by, amongother things, delaying the payments to vendors, lessees, employees, and customers. This wouldin turn harm trade creditors, consumer confidence, and employee loyalty, and would hinderDebtors' chance to successfully reorganize.133. Further, maintaining the existing Cash Management System would not prejudiceany party. Company will maintain strict records with respect to all transfers of cash so that theyare able to readily account for all transactions. Company's maintenance of its existing CashManagement System is not only of critical importance to Company's business operations, but isalso in the best interest of the Estates and Debtors' creditors.<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc36

To require Company to close the Accounts and to open new bank accounts and anew merchant account would cause substantial disruption and delay in Company's ongoingoperations and would materially and adversely affect Company's business.135. To avoid such problems and to ensure as smooth a transition into Chapter 11 aspossible, it is imperative that Company be permitted to continue using the Accounts.136. Because Company processes large amounts of cash on a daily basis to facilitatethe unique needs of its business, any disruption to the Cash Management System or the Accountswould seriously harm Debtors and the Estates.137. If the Cash Management System Accounts are disrupted, Debtors will experienceimmediate and irreparable harm.H. Taxes Motion.138. In the ordinary course of business, Company collects and incurs various Taxesand Fees, which are payable to the appropriate Authorities. Taxes and Fees are paid at differenttimes depending on the frequency of when each Tax and Fee must be remitted, and are paid tothe relevant Authority in accordance with each Authority's requirements, including paymentsmade by check or by electronic fund transfer. These Taxes and Fees include the following:a. Real and Personal Property Taxes.Company owns real and personal property located in Nevada that is subject to state andlocal property taxes (collectively, "Property Taxes"). Failure to pay Property Taxes inthe ordinary course of business may result in the imposition of statutory liens onCompany's real and personal property. Debtors estimate that as of the Petition Date,approximately $170,765 in Property Taxes are accrued but unpaid.b. Sales Taxes.Company collects from customers or incur an assortment of state and local sales taxes(collectively, the "Sales Taxes"), and remit the Sales Taxes to the appropriateAuthorities. Sales Taxes accrue as tangible goods and services are invoiced to customersand are calculated based on a statutory percentage of the sale price invoiced to thecustomer.

Company remitsSales Taxes on a monthly basis. Company estimates that as of the Petition Date,approximately $121,648 in Sales Taxes are accrued but unpaid.c. Use Taxes.Company may be responsible for payment of use taxes ("Use Taxes") when it purchasescertain tangible personal property for use in a jurisdiction where the acquisition of suchproperty is taxable, but Sales Tax was not charged by the vendor. In such instances,Company is responsible for assessing upon themselves and paying the Use Taxes whenapplicable.

Companyestimates that as of the Petition Date, approximately $6,725 in Use Taxes are accrued butunpaid.d. Business Taxes.Company may be responsible for payment of business and room occupation taxes(collectively, "Business Taxes") which are levied against the seller of goods or providerof services.

Miscellaneous Taxes and Fees.Various state and local laws may require Debtors to obtain and pay fees for a wide rangeof licenses and permits from a number of local, state, and federal regulatory agencies.The amount owed, if any, for these taxes and fees is de minimis. To the extent there arepre-petition amounts outstanding with respect to these taxes and fees, Company requeststhe authority to pay such amounts.139. Paying the Taxes and Fees will benefit Company and its creditors by allowingbusiness operations to continue without interference or distraction, and to allow Debtors tooperate their respective Chapter 11 Cases without interference from the Authorities.140. Payment of the Taxes and Fees is integral to the continuing operation ofCompany's business and Debtors' successful reorganization, and is appropriate and consistentwith the provisions of the Bankruptcy CodeI. 20 Day Administrative Expense Motion.141. Company depends on a normal and regular supply of goods from various vendorsin the ordinary course operations of its business, and any interruption of such supply wouldseverely impact Company's business and its ability to serve its customers. Moreover, withrespect to certain kinds of trade relationships, Company may be unable to obtain the necessarygoods elsewhere in the marketplace and/or on competitive terms.142. To minimize the impact and need for this Motion, Company has attempted to payin full all trade creditors prior to the Petition Date. Notwithstanding this effort, Companyanticipates that there may be some creditors who delivered goods that were received byCompany within twenty (20) days before the Petition Date, which goods were sold to Companyin the ordinary course of Company's business, all within the meaning of Section 503(b)(9) of theBankruptcy Code (such alleged claims, the "Priority Goods Claims" and the alleged holders, the"Priority Goods Claimants"). Company estimates that they may still owe approximately$480,000 to potential Priority Goods Claimants./ / // / /<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doe39

Company proposes the payment of the Priority Goods Claims held by thosePriority Goods Claimants with whom Company wish to continue doing business and who agreeto continue to supply goods to Company on ordinary and acceptable trade terms to Company. Ifa particular Priority Goods Claimant refuses to continue doing business with Company and/orrefuses to do so on the same or better terms as allowed prepetition, Company request that they begiven the discretion not to pay that Priority Goods Claimant pursuant to terms of this Motion.144. First, this approach preserves Company's valuable trade relationships with itsvendors, and allows Company uninterrupted operations and a seamless transition through theChapter 11 Cases. Second, by making the payment of trade creditors discretionary, it providesCompany with leverage to maintain its ordinary course trade terms and deter trade creditors fromattempting to discriminate against Company with alternative trade terms going forward duringthese Chapter 11 Cases.145. Company believes that this relief is in the best interests of the Estates because: (i)favorable trade terms will prevent the contraction of Company's liquidity; and (ii) this Court'stime and resources will not be burdened with numerous motions from individual Priority GoodsClaimants requesting payment of such administrative expenses.I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that these facts are trueto the best of my knowledge and belief.DATED this 1st day of August, 2011.202122232425262728<strong>Gordon</strong> <strong>Silver</strong>Attorneys At LawNinth Floor3960 Howard Hughes PkwyLas Vegas, Nevada 89<strong>16</strong>9(702) 796-5555101535-001/68408510.doc40

A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under thissubsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment toAgent shall constitute such Lender's Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. Ifsuch amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent willnotify Administrative Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay suchamount to Agent for Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of suchBorrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composingsuch Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve,anyother Lender ,of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall beresponsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on anyFunding Date.(iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any paymentsmade by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to theDefaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of theLender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such DefaultingLender's Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so directed by AdministrativeBorrower and if no Default or Event of Default had occurred and is continuing (and to the extent suchDefaulting Lender's Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced toBorrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers. Subject to the foregoing, Agentmay hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender theamount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solelyfor the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such DefaultingLender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" and such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. ThisSection shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shallhave been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent,and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender's default in writing, or (z) theDefaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owingby Defaulting Lender in respect thereof.

Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by suchDefaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon writtennotice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, suchsubstitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender,the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and delivera completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall bedeemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its shareof the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of its ProRata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever;provided however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not bedeemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups' or Borrowers' rights or remedies against any suchDefaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.(i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to timein Agent's sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event ofDefault, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are notsatisfied, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretiondeems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the.

Each Pledgor understands that (a) byvirtue of the operation of antideficiency laws that may be applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, anelection by Agent, the Trustee or the Holders nonjudicially to foreclose such a mortgage or deed of trustprobably may have the effect of impairing or destroying rights of subrogation, reimbursement,contribution, or indemnity of such Pledgor against Grantors or other guarantors or sureties, and (b) absentthe waiver given by such Pledgor herein, such an election may estop Agent, the Trustee or the Holdersfrom enforcing this Agreement against such Pledgor.

This means, among other things:Agent, the Trustee or any Holder may collect from any Pledgor withoutfirst foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral that may be pledged by Grantors.(ii) If Agent, the Trustee or any Holder foreclose(s) on any real propertycollateral that may be pledged by Grantors:(iii) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which thatcollateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.(iv) Agent may collect from any Pledgor even if Agent, the Trustee or theHolders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has/have destroyed any right such Pledgor mayhave to collect from Grantors.This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Pledgors may have if Grantors'debt is secured by real property.15
