Landry's first expanded to casinos in 2005 when it bought Golden Nugget Casinos, including locations in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada.
Since then, Landry's has opened casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey; Biloxi, Mississippi; and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The Golden Nugget Atlantic City was previously called the Trump Marina.
Fertitta purchased this casino from Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2011.

The Golden Nugget Lake Charles was bought after Fertitta found a license and resort land for sale from Pinnacle Entertainment, which owns the adjacent L'Auberge du Lac Resort.
Fertitta stated he built the casino with the idea of having a casino in close proximity to his Houston hometown.
After the first year proved the casino was successful, a new 300 room tower began construction on the property.
