Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period. The presentation of financial information herein for the periods after the divestiture of the LINQ Promenade is not fully comparable to the periods prior to such divestiture. See Note 1. Our Financial Statements include the accounts of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby (i) affiliates that are more than 50% owned are consolidated; (ii) investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method where we have determined that we have significant influence over the entities; and (iii) investments in affiliates of 20% or less are generally accounted for as investments in equity securities. We consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the results of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We review investments, if a reconsideration event occurs, to determine if the investment qualifies, or continues to qualify, as a VIE. If we determine an investment qualifies, or no longer qualifies, as a VIE, there may be a material effect to our Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, on a recurring basis, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Levels of the hierarchy prioritize the inputs used to measure fair value and include: •Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. •Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable. •Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds that can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value per share. A money market fund is a mutual fund whose investments are primarily in short-term debt securities designed to maximize current income with liquidity and capital preservation, usually maintaining per share net asset value at a constant amount, such as one dollar. The carrying amounts approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments (Level 1). Cash and cash equivalents also include cash maintained for gaming operations.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes cash or cash equivalents held in certificates of deposit accounts or money market type funds, that are not subject to remeasurement on a recurring basis, which are restricted under certain operating agreements or restricted for future capital expenditures in the normal course of business.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held by the Company’s deferred compensation plans. The estimated fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined on an individual asset basis based upon quoted prices of identical assets available in active markets (Level 1) and represent the amounts the Company would expect to receive if the Company sold these marketable securities.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments The Company may enter into derivative instruments to hedge the risk of fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or pricing for other commodities. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising costs are expensed in the period the advertising first occurs.Advertising costs related to the Caesars Digital segment are primarily recorded in Casino expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements to Be Implemented in Future Periods In November 2024 (as clarified in January 2025 by ASU 2025-01), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosure about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. This information is generally not presented in the financial statements today. This update applies to all public business entities and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the amendments in this update to have a material impact on our Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. These updates apply to all entities subject to income taxes and will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Updates are to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We do not expect the amendments in this update to have a material impact on our Financial Statements.
