The future owners of the Golden Nugget hotel and casino are planning a new hotel tower in downtown Las Vegas.
Tilman Fertitta, chief executive of Landry's Restaurants Inc., said the expansion also would include two high-end restaurants and a 1,200-seat showroom at downtown's largest hotel.
Fertitta and his Landry's Gaming Inc. subsidiary were recommended for approval for licensing today by the state Gaming Control Board.
Following a 90-minute hearing, the three-member board unanimously recommended approval of the restaurant chain's first gaming license to the Nevada Gaming Commission, which will consider it later this month.
Landry's acquired the Golden Nugget in February for $295 million and later picked up the Golden Nugget Laughlin after a deal to sell it to Barrick Gaming Corp. collapsed.
Feritta is a cousin of Station Casinos Inc. executives Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta.
