Consolidating some Vegas power.

Lots of speculation that the Fertitta’s very much want to own the Saints.

Glad to know his son is a LSU grad.

So. Much. Money.

I have heard his son is active in NIL. Much more so than some of the other names that get talked about

I saw this this morning. Fertitta is massively expanding his empire well beyond his current Golden Nugget casinos and Landry’s restaurant chains. He is taking over an absolute titan of the gaming world.

awesome, I hope this makes their stock price spike, I bought quite a bit of it when there was a thread on here recently talking about Caesar’s being on the ropes financially, if it jumps way up I’ll sell and pledge 10% of the proceeds to the TD premium membership spa tip fund

Wonder if / how Nola long term discounted rent played into valuation?

There's a good reason Lane was sitting courtside at the Rockets game with Blake.

So ensure his starting QB’s gambling addiction is concealed?

I kid, I kid.

Your headline is a bit misleading. It is $17.6 billion total because of their debt.

The Rockets still suck and Kevin Durant is the biggest waste of money in the history of sports.

IIRC they sold the land under their casinos on the strip in a sale-leaseback to raise cash because they were cash-strapped, so I wonder how Tilman solves that.

Did the NFL change their stance on team ownership/gambling relations? Fertitta had to sell his stake in the Texans

From a 2008 article:
quote:

A Houston entrepreneur said he has sold his interest in the Houston Texans to comply with an NFL rule prohibiting team owners from having a gambling-related business

That's great and all but they're not for sale for at least this decade

I wonder if Louisiana will make him sell Horseshoe in Lake Charles since he already owns the Nugget.

If not, I wonder if having two properties in LC and one in Shreveport so close to Texas will make him back away from pushing for casinos in Texas.
