Thank you, Shannon, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. Welcome to our conference call to discuss our third quarter 2025 earnings. This afternoon, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the period ended September 30, 2025. A copy of the press release is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at investor.caesars.com. As usual, joining me on the call today are Tom Rigg, our CEO, Anthony Carano, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Brett Yunker, our CFO, Eric Heschen, President of Caesars Sports and Online, and Cherise Crumbly, Investor Relations. Before I turn the call over to Anthony, I would like to remind you that during today's conference call, we may make certain forward-looking statements under safe harbor federal securities laws, and these statements may or may not come true. Also, during today's call, the company may discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. Please visit our press releases located on our investor relations website for a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure. Our Q3 investor presentation has been posted to our website and our Form 10Q has also been issued as well. We experienced hold volatility in our reported results. Management will discuss hold normalized results in our call today, and a full reconciliation can be found in our earnings presentation posted on our website on slide 21. I will now turn the call over to Anthony.

Thank you, Brian, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. Our diversified portfolio delivered third quarter consolidated net revenues of $2.9 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $884 million. On a hold normalized basis, the company reported $927 million in consolidated EBITDA. During the third quarter, our digital segment delivered strong volume growth in both sports and iCasino. Adjusted EBITDA in our digital segment was negatively impacted by NFL hold in September and faced a difficult comparison to last year, which included WSOP results. Our Las Vegas segment posted solid results in the face of softer market-wide visitation and adjusted for poor table games hold. We are seeing sequential improvement in operating trends in Las Vegas as we enter the fourth quarter. Regional revenues were up year over year, driven by strong returns in Danville and New Orleans and same-store net revenue growth, resulting from continued strategic reinvestment in our Caesars Rewards customer database. Regional EBITDA grew 4% on a hold normalized basis during the quarter. Starting in our Las Vegas segment, we reported same-store adjusted EBITDA of $379 million and hold normalized EBITDA of $398 million. Segment results were driven by 92% occupancy versus 97% last year, and ADR decreased 5% as a result of citywide visitation weakness during the quarter. As we progress through the quarter, trends improve sequentially, with September delivering the strongest results of the quarter. During the quarter, the group room-night mix was 13%, and the segment is on track to deliver a record EBITDA year in 2025 due to our strong Q4 booking pace, where group mix should increase to 17%. Recent CapEx investments at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, including a brand new pool experience, Pinkies by Lisa Vanderpump, Gordon Ramsay Burger, and Havana 57 continue to exceed return expectations. We are excited about upcoming CapEx projects in Las Vegas, including a new Omnia Day Club by Tao at Caesars Palace, the rebrand of the Cromwell to the Vanderpump Hotel, and the recently announced Project 10 by Luke Combs that will transform the vacant Margaritaville space at the Flamingo. These exciting projects continue our commitment to reinvest in our assets while elevating our guest experiences. As we look to the fourth quarter in Las Vegas, we see trends improving sequentially, driven by positive leisure trends and a strong group and concession calendar. In our regional segment, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $506 million and hold normalized EBITDA of $517 million, driven by 6 percent net revenue growth. Early results from our strategic customer reinvestments are promising, driven by strong rated play trends in the quarter. We will continue to refine our marketing approach as we remain focused on delivering strong returns on these investments. Margins improved sequentially this quarter, driven by better flow through on these investments. New projects in Danville and New Orleans continue to generate strong returns, and we look forward to completing phase two of the master plan currently underway at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe in mid-2026. I want to thank all of our team members for their hard work through the first three quarters of 2025. Their dedication to exceptional guest service has been the driving force behind our accomplishments this year. With that, I will now turn the call over to Eric for some insights into the third quarter for our digital segment.
