Landry's Restaurants Inc., which owns and operates about 300 seafood restaurants, said Friday that it has agreed to purchase the Golden Nugget Casino in downtown Las Vegas from Poster Financial Group Inc.

"Landry's is thrilled to add casino gaming to a varied and diverse collection of entertainment offerings that already includes casual and fine dining, hospitality and aquarium properties," Tilman Fertitta, chairman, president and CEO of Landry's, said in a statement. "This transaction provides us with a well-recognized brand that can be expanded into other markets. The Las Vegas base provides an extremely strong foundation for our gaming division."

Just as long as they dont have any AA gorillas getting all pissed off everyfive minutes while I'm playing black, I think they could bring some life back the the Fremont.

So I assume the young guys we saw on "The Casino" are selling it. That's too bad, they were a good team.
