Tilman Fertitta / Landry's
Houston-based restaurant + gaming empire; Wynn's largest shareholder
Tilman Fertitta is the sole owner of Landry's Inc. — a Houston-based restaurant-and-hospitality conglomerate (Bubba Gump, McCormick & Schmick's, Saltgrass, etc.) — and the Golden Nugget casino chain. Landry's bought the Golden Nugget chain from MGM in 2005; the Golden Nugget Las Vegas on Fremont Street is the flagship.
In April 2025, Fertitta became the largest single shareholder of Wynn Resorts (12.3%). Note: Tilman Fertitta is a distant cousin of Frank III and Lorenzo Fertitta (of Station Casinos) — they share Sicilian-immigrant ancestry but operate completely separate gaming empires.
