PROXY STATEMENT

Landry’s Restaurants Inc., or the “Company,” is mailing this proxy statement with the accompanying proxy card and its Annual Report to you on or about September 6, 2007. The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 27, 2007, and any adjournment of that meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m., local time, at Landry’s Restaurants corporate offices, 1510 West Loop South, Houston, Texas.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

WHO CAN VOTE?

If you are a holder of the Company’s common stock according to its records at the close of business on August 27, 2007 (the record date for the Annual Meeting), you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, the Company had 18,263,348 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, exclusive of treasury shares. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and can be voted only if the owner of record is present to vote or is represented by proxy.

HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

The holders of a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote are required to be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated in the same manner as shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. (A “broker non-vote” occurs when a registered broker holding a customer’s shares in the name of the broker has not received voting instructions on a matter from the customer and is barred by stock exchange rules from exercising discretionary authority to vote on the matter. The broker will indicate this on the proxy card.)

The total number of votes that are cast “for” a proposal will determine whether the proposal is adopted. Abstentions are counted in determining the total number of votes cast. Broker non-votes are not counted in determining the number of votes cast.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to elect directors. In voting for the election of directors, you may cast your vote in favor or against, but you may not specify an abstention.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I VOTE BY PROXY?

If you sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in time for the Annual Meeting and do not subsequently revoke it, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions as marked on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return the proxy card, but do not specify how your shares are to be voted, then your shares will be voted FOR all nominees for director. The Company is not aware of any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this proxy statement. If any other business should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the proxy card will vote according to their best judgment.

CAN I REVOKE MY PROXY CARD INSTRUCTIONS?

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by returning to the Company another properly signed proxy card representing your shares and bearing a later date, or by delivering a written revocation letter to Steven L. Scheinthal, Secretary of the Company, or by attending the Annual Meeting in person, notifying the Secretary, and voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Scheinthal’s mailing address is Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., 1510 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027.

Any stockholder of record attending the Annual Meeting may vote in person whether or not a proxy has been previously given, but the mere presence (without notifying the Secretary) of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not constitute revocation of a previously given proxy.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I PLAN TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?

If you are a holder of record of shares of common stock and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you need only bring a form of personal identification with you in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. If you are not a record holder of shares but hold the Company’s common stock through a bank or broker, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you hold your shares through a broker or bank and want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need to contact the registered holder of your shares and obtain a proxy in your name from that registered holder.

WHO PAYS THE EXPENSES OF THIS SOLICITATION?

The Company bears the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the notice, proxy statement and proxy card for the Annual Meeting. In addition to such solicitation by use of the mail, the Company’s employees may solicit proxies by personal interview, by telephone or by other means of communication, without any additional compensation. The Company will also provide persons, firms, banks and corporations holding shares in their names, or in the names of their nominees, which in either case are beneficially owned by others, with proxy materials for transmittal to the beneficial owners, and the Company will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses in transmitting those materials.

PROPOSAL I—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has set the number of directors at six in accordance with the Company’s By-laws. All directors who have been nominated have consented to stand for election. Each nominee will serve until the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders or until his respective successor is duly elected and qualified. A majority of shares present at the Annual Meeting is required to be cast in favor of a nominee for the election of each of the nominees listed below. At the Annual Meeting, the common stock represented by proxies, unless otherwise specified, will be voted for the election of the six nominees named below.

Although the Board of Directors does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve, if that situation arises prior to the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed form of proxy will vote for a substitute nominee in accordance with their best judgment.

As set forth below, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established criteria for the selection and recommendation of candidates to become nominees submitted by the Board of Directors for election to the Board by the Company’s stockholders. As used herein, “Non-Employee” Directors are all Directors who are not Company employees. The Non-Employee Director nominees are Messrs. Chadwick, Richmond, Taylor and Brimmer.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has set forth standards for determining if a Director is “independent” in accordance with the criteria, including any additional requirements for the committees on which each Director serves, set forth by the NYSE and the SEC. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a Director will be considered independent if, in addition to meeting applicable NYSE and SEC criteria, the director meets the following standards:

• No director who is an employee, or whose immediate family member is an executive officer of ours is independent until three years after the end of such employment relationship.

• No director who received, or whose immediate family member receives, more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from us, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service), is independent until three years after he or she ceases to receive more than $100,000 per year in such compensation.

• No director who is affiliated with or employed by, or whose immediate family member is affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by, a present or former internal or external auditor of ours is independent until three years after the end of the affiliation or the employment of such auditing relationship.

• No director who is employed or whose immediate family member is employed, as an executive officer of another company where any of our present executives serve on that company’s compensation committee is independent until three years after the end of such service or the employment relationship.

• No director who is an executive officer or an employee, or whose immediate family member is an executive officer, of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us for property or services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, is independent until three years after falling below such threshold.

In the course of the Board’s determination regarding the independence of each Non-management Director, it considered any transactions, relationships and arrangements between the director and the Company as required

3

by the independence requirements set forth above. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Taylor, Chadwick, Richmond and Brimmer are independent directors in accordance with the above criteria.

Executive Sessions of the Board of Directors

Non-Employee Directors have the right to meet in executive sessions prior to or after scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise designated, Joe Max Taylor, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, serves as the presiding director at each such executive session.

Communications with Directors

The Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that provide that our security holders and other interested parties may communicate with one or more of our Directors, including the Non-Employee Directors, by mail in care of: Steven L. Scheinthal, Secretary, Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., 1510 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027. Such communications should specify the intended recipient or recipients. All such communications, other than unsolicited commercial solicitations, will be forwarded to the appropriate director or directors for review.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. We believe, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and on written representations from our existing directors and executive officers, that all existing directors and executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) have filed on a timely basis all reports required during, or with respect to, the year ended December 31, 2006.

Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our directors, officers and other employees. The Code is posted under the Corporate Governance portion of the Investor Relations section on our website at www.LandrysRestaurants.com and is available to any stockholder upon request. We have also adopted a Code of Ethics Statement by the CEO and senior financial officers, which is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. If there are any changes or waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to the CEO and senior financial officers, we will disclose it on our website in the same location. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our Code of Ethics Statement and our

6

Corporate Governance Guidance can also be obtained free of charge by directing a written request to Steven L. Scheinthal, Secretary, Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., 1510 West Loop South, Houston, Texas, 77027.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We have an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We have reviewed our committee structure in order to fully satisfy the existing rules of the SEC and NYSE and believe that it satisfies all of such rules. Copies of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charters are available under the Corporate Governance portion of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.LandrysRestaurants.com. In addition, a copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to this proxy statement as “Attachment A.”

There were ten meetings of the Executive Committee, five meetings of the Audit Committee, three meetings of the Compensation Committee, two meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and eleven meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors held during 2006. All of the current Board members attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they were members. It is the policy of the Board that, to the extent possible, all Directors attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All Directors attended the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of three independent Non-Employee Directors. The members of the Audit Committee during 2006 were Michael Chadwick (Chairman), Michael Richmond and Kenneth Brimmer. The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board of Directors’ oversight of (a) the integrity of our financial statements and disclosures; (b) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (c) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence; and (d) the performance of our internal audit and independent auditors. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint and terminate our independent auditors. In addition, during 2006-2007, the Audit Committee acted as a special committee to conduct an internal investigation with respect to the Company’s past stock option granting practices and derivative lawsuit. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Chadwick, Chairman of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as described in Item 401(h) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in the listing standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of two independent Non-Employee Directors. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Taylor (Chairman) and Mr. Brimmer. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is charged with identifying and making recommendations to the Board of Directors of individuals suitable to become members of the Board of Directors and in overseeing the administration of our various policies related to corporate governance matters. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent, as independence for nominating committee members is defined in the listing standards of the NYSE.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Director Nominations

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established criteria for the selection and recommendation of candidates to become nominees submitted by the Board of Directors for election to the Board of Directors by our stockholders. The Committee selects each recommended nominee based on the nominee’s experience, independence and availability. As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the following

7

criteria are considered in selecting candidates for the Board of Directors: a high degree of personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, an independent mind and mature judgment. In addition, candidates are to be involved only in activities or interests that would not create a conflict with potential directorial responsibilities to us and our stockholders.

When soliciting candidates for Director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent Directors, management and stockholders. While the Committee has authority under its charter to retain a search firm for this purpose, no such firm was utilized in 2006. If the Committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to the Board of Directors, it will recommend that candidate’s election to the full Board of Directors.

Stockholder Nominations

The Charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provides that the Committee will consider proposals for nominees for Director from stockholders. Stockholder nominations for Director should be made in writing to Mr. Steven L. Scheinthal, Secretary, Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., 1510 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027. In order to nominate a Director at the Annual Meeting, we require that a stockholder follow the procedures set forth herein. In order to recommend a nominee for a Director position, a stockholder must be a stockholder of record at the time he, she or it gives notice of recommendation and must be entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting at which such nominee will be considered. Stockholder recommendations must be made pursuant to written notice delivered to the Secretary at our principal executive offices (i) in the case of a nomination for election at an annual meeting, not less than 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of our notice of annual meeting for the preceding year’s annual meeting; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting at which Directors are to be elected, not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at the special meeting. In the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, the stockholder notice described above will be deemed timely if it is received not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

The stockholder notice must set forth the following:

• As to each person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominees as Directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such person’s written consent to serve as a Director if elected; and

• As to the nominating stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, such stockholder’s and beneficial owner’s, name and address as they appear on our books, the class and number of shares of our common stock which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, and an affirmative statement of whether either such stockholder or such beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to a sufficient number of stockholders to elect such nominee or nominees.

In addition to complying with the foregoing procedures, any stockholder nominating a director must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of independent Non-Employee Directors, as defined by the NYSE, and the Exchange Act and independent outside directors as defined under Section 162(m) of the

8

Internal Revenue Code. The members of the Compensation Committee during 2006 were Michael Chadwick, Michael Richmond and Joe Max Taylor (Chairman). The Compensation Committee is responsible for our executive compensation program. Generally, the Compensation Committee is charged with the authority, to review and approve our compensation philosophy and our executive compensation programs, levels, plans and awards. The Compensation Committee also administers our incentive plans and other stock-based plans and reviews and approves general employee benefit plans on an as-needed basis. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to retain, approve fees and other terms for, and terminate any compensation consultant, outside counsel, accountant or other advisor hired to assist the Compensation Committee in the discharge of its responsibilities.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority to retain, approve fees and other terms for, and terminate any compensation consultant, outside counsel, accountant or other advisor hired to assist the Compensation Committee in the discharge of its responsibilities. In 2006, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners to perform market analyses of executive compensation practices from which it presented data to the Compensation Committee as to the form and amount of executive compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer made recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the form and amount of executive compensation. See the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below for information on 2006 executive officer compensation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. No member of the Compensation Committee had any relationship with the Company requiring disclosure in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” below. No executive officer of the Company served as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee (or other Board committee performing similar functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of another corporation, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee or as the Company’s director.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains the philosophy underlying our compensation strategy and the fundamental elements of compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other individuals, whom we refer to as “executive officers,” included in the Summary Compensation Table for the 2006 calendar year. Specifically, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis addresses the following:

• Objectives of our compensation programs;

• What our compensation programs are designed to reward;

• Elements of our compensation program and why we pay each element;

• How we determine each element of compensation; and

• Other important compensation policies affecting the executive officers.

Objectives of Our Compensation Program. Our business strategy is to develop and operate a diversified restaurant, hospitality and entertainment company offering customers unique dining, leisure and entertainment experiences. We believe that this strategy creates a loyal customer base, generates a high level of repeat business and provides superior returns to our investors. Our compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate employees in order to effectively execute our business strategy.

What Our Compensation Program Is Designed to Reward. Our compensation program is designed to reward performance of executive officers that contributes to the achievement of our business strategy on both a short-term and long-term basis. We reward qualities that we believe help achieve our strategy such as teamwork, individual performance in light of general economic and industry specific conditions, individual performance that supports our core values, resourcefulness, the ability to manage our business, level of job responsibility and tenure with us.

Elements of Our Compensation Program and Why We Pay Each Element. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation packages for executive officers should consist of the following components:

• base salary;

• annual incentive bonus;

• long-term equity awards;

• deferred compensation;

• perquisites; and

• broad-based employee benefits.

We pay base salary in order to recognize each executive officer’s unique value and historical contributions to our success in light of salary norms in the industry and the general marketplace, to match competitors for executive talent, to provide executives with regularly-paid income, and to reflect position and level of responsibility.

We include an annual cash bonus as part of our compensation program because we believe this element of compensation helps to motivate management to achieve key corporate objectives by rewarding the achievement of these objectives. We also provide an annual cash bonus in order to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint.

11

Long-term equity-based incentive compensation in the form of options and restricted stock is an element of our compensation policy because we believe it aligns executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders, rewards long-term performance, is required in order for us to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint, to encourage executive retention, and to give executives the opportunity to share in our long-term performance. These types of awards also provide a form of compensation that we believe is transparent and easy for stockholders to understand.

Deferred compensation benefits are intended to promote retention by providing a long-term savings opportunity on a tax-efficient basis.

We provide perquisites to our executive officers, since we believe this compensation helps us achieve our compensation objectives of recruiting and retaining executive officers and generally allows our executives to work more efficiently and protects the well being of our executives.

We offer broad-based employee benefits such as payment of insurance premiums in order to provide a competitive remuneration package and as an essential component of recruiting and retaining executive talent.

How We Determine Each Element of Compensation.

Role of Our Compensation Committee and CEO. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews and approves our executive compensation strategy and principles to ensure that they are aligned with our business strategy and objectives, stockholder interests, desired behaviors and corporate culture. The primary responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to:

• conduct an annual review of all compensation elements for our executive officers;

• review the performance of the CEO and meet to discuss the findings of the review; and

• review and approve our management development and succession planning practices and strategies.

The Compensation Committee considers multiple factors when it determines the amount of total direct compensation (the sum of base salary, incentive bonus and long-term compensation delivered through equity awards) to award to executive officers each year. Among these factors are:

• how proposed amounts of total direct compensation to our executives compare to amounts paid to similar executives both for the prior year and over a multi-year period;

• internal pay equity considerations; and

• broad trends in executive compensation generally.

The Compensation Committee relies upon its judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing our performance and carefully evaluating an executive’s performance during the year. The Committee generally does not adhere to rigid formulas or necessarily react to short-term changes in business performance in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements. We incorporate flexibility into our compensation programs and in the assessment process to respond to and adjust for the evolving business environment. As a result, the Compensation Committee has not adopted any policy or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of non-cash compensation.

In addition, the CEO recommends to the Compensation Committee annual pay increases, annual bonus amounts and long-term incentive grants for other executive officers. To assist it in carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee may also receive reports and recommendations from outside compensation consultants, and may consult with its own legal, accounting or other advisors. However, to date the Compensation Committee has not used independent legal or accounting advisors. The Compensation Committee

12

has the sole authority, to the extent deemed necessary and appropriate, to retain and terminate any compensation consultants, outside counsel or other advisors, including having the sole authority to approve the firm’s or advisor’s fees and other retention.

Compensation Consultant. In 2006, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners as a compensation consultant to assist the Committee with its administration of compensation programs. Pearl Meyer & Partners performed market analyses of executive compensation practices from which it made recommendations to the Compensation Committee as to the form and amount of certain executive compensation for the CEO. Pearl Meyer & Partners is independent of us, reports directly to the Compensation Committee and has no other business relationship with us other than assisting the Compensation Committee with its executive compensation practices. Pearl Meyer & Partners is a subsidiary of Clark Consulting which administrates the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

Benchmarking. The Compensation Committee does not use benchmarking to set executive compensation. However, the Compensation Committee does utilize survey data and publicly available information to evaluate compensation for specific positions when necessary.

Base Salary. Base salaries for executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis and at the time of promotion or other change in responsibilities. Increases in salary are based on cost of living adjustments as well as subjective evaluation of such factors as the level of responsibility, individual performance, our overall performance, level of pay both of the executive in question and other similarly situated executives pay levels within the Company.

The base salary for our CEO was established in an employment agreement we entered into with him in 2003. The initial base salary under the employment contract was based on a previous report prepared by Pearl Meyer & Partners and factors taken into account in determining the CEO’s base salary were his leadership position with the Company, his level of responsibility and the integral, dynamic role he plays in guiding the Company. Since 2003, his base salary has increased based primarily on cost of living increases as well as the other factors set forth under “Base Salary” above. The CEO’s salary was increased from $1,350,000 in 2005 to $1,450,000 for 2006.

The Compensation Committee discusses the remaining executive officers’ base salaries with the CEO, who presents his suggestions for adjustment, if necessary. For 2006, except for the CFO, the base salaries of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, whom we sometimes refer to as the “named executive officers,” were adjusted primarily to take into account a cost of living increase as well as the other factors set forth under “Base Salary” above. In addition, the Committee has the discretion to periodically approve additional salary adjustments it feels are warranted based on general compensation changes within the industry, individual performance or significant changes in duties and responsibilities and input from the CEO. The Compensation Committee increased the base salary of our CFO to take into account the same cost of living increase as well as to make his salary more competitive with similarly situated executives.

Annual Bonus. Executive officers, senior management and other personnel have the potential to receive a significant portion of their annual cash compensation as a cash bonus. Annual bonuses are generally granted based on each executive officer’s base salary, tenure, individual performance and our financial and market performance. The Compensation Committee does not establish any particular guidelines or financial measures. Rather, the Compensation Committee prefers to make a subjective determination after considering all measures collectively but bases much of its determination upon input from the CEO. The Compensation Committee approves each annual bonus. Typically, bonuses are awarded for prior year results in the following year, when actual results for the entire year are known.

When awarding 2006 bonuses, in addition to the above factors the Compensation Committee in particular considered the executive officers’ performance and outstanding contribution with respect to the acquisition,

13

renovation and subsequent increase in value of the Golden Nugget, Inc. as well as their contributions to the disposition of less profitable businesses such as the Joe’s Crab Shack chain. Each of these transactions were accomplished by a small group of executives in a short period of time and added significantly, in the Compensation Committee’s view, to the long-term value of the Company.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Compensation Committee administers our incentive plans and performs functions that include selecting award recipients, determining the timing of grants and assigning the number of shares awarded, fixing the time and manner in which awards are exercisable, setting option exercise prices and vesting and expiration dates, and from time to time adopting rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of our plans. For compensation decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation to executive officers, the Compensation Committee typically considers the competitive environment associated with longer-term compensation and recommendations from our CEO. Beginning in 2006, the Committee adopted a general policy to grant restricted stock in lieu of options due to the many variables in valuing option awards.

In connection with this new policy, the Company amended its employment agreement with the CEO effective March 14, 2006. Previously, the employment agreement provided that the CEO was entitled to an aggregate of 800,000 stock options over the term of the agreement, of which 250,000 were issued in 2004. After the Committee determined it was in the Company’s best interest to issue restricted stock rather than options, the Committee, based on the recommendation of Pearl Meyer & Partners, issued 275,000 shares of restricted stock to the CEO in place of the remaining 550,000 options. The restricted shares vest seven years from the date of grant. On February 1, 2006, the CEO was granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

Except for under the CEO’s employment agreement, we have no set formula for the granting of equity awards to individual executives or employees. In April 2006, the Compensation Committee approved the award of an aggregate of 137,412 shares of common stock representing approximately 0.62% of the outstanding common shares on the date of grant.

In determining the size of restricted stock grants awarded to executive officers, the Compensation Committee based its determinations on such considerations as tenure, the strategic long-term importance of the executive to us, historical equity compensation awards and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer & Partners. In general, the restricted stock granted to executive officers vests in five equal annual installments beginning April 6, 2007. Our equity compensation plans are generally limited to our executive and more senior management, with approximately 75 employees receiving restricted stock awards in fiscal 2006.

We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation on specified dates. However, our Committee does follow a policy of not granting equity incentives when material non-public information exists that may affect the short-term price of our stock. Information about unvested restricted stock and outstanding options held by our named executive officers and directors is contained in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2006” and “Director Compensation” tables.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Executive officers and our most highly compensated senior management are eligible to participate in our deferred compensation plan, which provides an opportunity for eligible employees to defer up to 90% of their annual base salary and 100% of bonus compensation into an account that will be credited with earnings at the same rate as one or more investment indices chosen by the employees, which are similar to the investment funds available under our 401(k) plan. We also make a matching contribution of up to 30%, depending on the position of the employee with us.

Perquisites. We also provide certain personal benefits to executive officers, which are reflected in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table. These benefits include executive life and disability insurance and a car allowance. We believe these benefits are reasonable, competitive and consistent

14

with our overall executive compensation program. Under a program to enhance the safety and effectiveness of management in support of our business and operations, corporate-owned aircraft is made available for essential business trips and other company activities. The CEO, the chief financial officer and other members of management with the approval of the CEO, are permitted limited personal use of the corporate-owned aircraft. Also, the CEO is provided security services, including home security systems and monitoring and personal security services. These security services are provided for our benefit, and the Compensation Committee considers the related expenses to be appropriate business expenses rather than personal benefits. In general, the perquisites our CEO is entitled to receive are contained in his employment agreement and are described in more detail under “Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Broad-Based Employee Benefits. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in company-sponsored benefit programs on the same terms and conditions as those generally provided to our employees. We believe that the offering of broad-based employee benefits to our executive officers is essential to achieving our goal of recruiting and retaining executive talent. These benefits include basic health benefits, dental benefits, disability protection, life insurance, and similar programs. The cost of company-sponsored benefit programs are negotiated by us with the providers of such benefits and the executive officers contribute to the cost of the benefits. We have a 401(k) plan and make annual matching contributions to the 401(k) plan on behalf of eligible employees. These contributions are discretionary and historically limited to 25% on up to 5% of contributed funds.

Other Compensation Policies Affecting the Executive Officers

Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) disallows a federal income tax deduction to publicly held companies for certain compensation paid to our CEO and four other most highly compensated executive officers to the extent that compensation exceeds $1 million per executive officer covered by Section 162(m) in any fiscal year. The limitation applies only to compensation that is not considered “performance based” as defined in the Section 162(m) rules.

In designing our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee considers the effect of Section 162(m) together with other factors relevant to our business needs. We have historically taken, and intend to continue taking, appropriate actions, to the extent we believe desirable, to preserve the deductibility of annual incentive and long-term performance awards. However, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation paid must be tax-deductible and qualified under Section 162(m).

We believe that the 2006 base salary, annual bonus and restricted stock grants paid to the individual executive officers covered by Section 162(m) will not exceed the Section 162(m) limit and will be fully deductible under Section 162(m), except for a portion paid to the CEO.

Other compensation paid to the executive officers covered by Section 162(m) that is not considered “performance-based” is not deductible to the extent that it, together with other non-performance based compensation, exceeds $1 million in any fiscal year. For fiscal 2006, these amounts included the CEO’s income imputed for personal use of corporate aircraft and life and insurance premiums paid by us.

Stock Ownership Requirements. The Compensation Committee does not maintain a policy relating to stock ownership guidelines or requirements for our executive officers because the Compensation Committee does not feel that it is necessary to impose such a policy on our executive officers. If circumstances change, the Compensation Committee will review whether such a policy is appropriate for executive officers.

Financial Restatement. In the event of a material restatement our financial results, we believe it would be prudent to carefully review the facts and circumstances that caused the restatement before determining the appropriate course of action. Upon completion of an investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding a material restatement, we would consider: (1) whether any compensation was paid or awarded on the basis of having achieved performance targets, (2) whether a particular employee or officer was engaged in misconduct

15

that contributed to the restatement, and (3) whether the compensation paid to the employee or officer would have been reduced had the financial results been properly reported. If it is determined that an employee or officer did engage in misconduct, the Board of Directors would take action as it deems appropriate.

Employment Agreements. In general, our executive officers do not have employment, severance or change-of-control agreements. Our executive officers serve at the will of the Board, which enables us to terminate their employment with discretion as to the terms of any severance arrangement. This is consistent with our compensation philosophy. However, in 2003, we determined that the loss of our CEO’s services could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and development. Accordingly, we entered into an employment agreement with our CEO. This employment agreement contains change of control provisions that provide for severance benefits upon a change of control. The provisions of this employment agreement are discussed more under the caption “Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors acts on behalf of the Board to establish and oversee our executive compensation program in a manner that serves our interests and those of our shareholders. Our management has prepared the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of the compensation program for named executive officers. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for fiscal year 2006 (included in this Proxy Statement) with our management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It excludes non-variable costs, such as hangar expense, ongoing maintenance, purchase and lease costs of the aircraft, exterior paint, interior refurbishment and regularly scheduled inspections, which would have been incurred regardless of whether there was any personal use of aircraft. The incremental cost incurred by us has been determined to be approximately $2,100 per flight hour based on the foregoing incremental costs. On certain occasions when Mr. Fertitta is traveling for business purposes family members will travel with him and there is no incremental cost to the Company.

(4) This column reports the incremental cost to the Company for automobile expenses for the named executive officers. Although under Mr. Fertitta’s employment agreement the Company is to provide him with an automobile, during 2006 he did not have a Company car and the Company did not pay any automobile related expenses on his behalf.

(5) Represents the incremental cost to the Company with respect to use of Company personnel provided to Mr. Fertitta under his employment agreement.

(6) This column reports the actual cost of providing security services to Mr. Fertitta as provided for in his employment agreement. Under our executive security program, Mr. Fertitta has been provided security services, including home security systems and monitoring and personal security services. We provide these security services for our benefit and consider the related expenses to be appropriate business expenses.

(7) This column reports the total amount of other benefits provided, none of which individually exceeded the greater of $25,000 or 10% of the total amount of these benefits for the named executive (except as otherwise described herein). With respect to Mr. Fertitta, these amounts represent: (a) supplemental medical reimbursement, (b) dockage fees, (c) membership fees and dues for country clubs, (d) administrative support services and financial service fees for tax preparation, estate planning and legal or financial advice to which Mr. Fertitta is entitled under his employment agreement, and (e) dividends on restricted common stock in the amount of $116,500. “All Other Compensation” does not include contributions and matching contributions to charities in accordance with Mr. Fertitta’s employment agreement. With respect to the remaining named executive officers and other than as described in footnote (8) below, these amounts represent among other things, dividends on restricted common stock and medical reimbursements.

The equity value was determined based on the closing price on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock on December 5, 2006, the date the transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The exercise price of a portion of these options was adjusted upwards in December 2006. See “Section 409A Compliance” for more information regarding the adjustment of the exercise price.

Section 409A Compliance

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes certain restrictions and additional taxes on the recipients of discounted options in the United States. Prior to December 31, 2006, the final date allowable under Section 409A, Mr. Scheinthal and Mr. Ervin, agreed to reprice upward unexercised discounted options that vested after December 31, 2004 to the closing price on what was believed to be the actual accounting measurement date for the option granted. The repricing did not affect the vesting schedules of the options, which continue to vest based on the original grant date. Where applicable in this proxy statement, exercise prices will reflect the exercise price as amended.

(1) Amounts in the “Executive Contributions in 2006” column were deferred in 2006 and, for all executives other than Mr. Cantwell, were reflected in the “Bonus” column of the 2005 Summary Compensation Table. These amounts were earned in 2005 but paid in 2006. Mr. Cantwell’s 2006 contribution was made from his 2006 base salary and therefore is reflected in the 2006 Summary Compensation Table.

(2) Amounts in the “Registrant Contributions in 2006” column are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2006 Summary Compensation Table. These contributions were based on the executive contributions actually made in 2005.

(3) None of the earnings reported in this column is included in the Summary Compensation Table because they were not above market or preferential.

(4) The following amounts represent aggregate executive and Company contributions under the plan prior to 2006 and were previously reported as compensation to the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table for previous years: Mr. Fertitta, $36,000; Mr. Liem, $155,290; Mr. Scheinthal, $144,000; Mr. Cantwell, $123,456; and Mr. Ervin, $30,000. Mr. Roberts was not previously listed in the Summary Compensation Table. His total individual and company contributions prior to 2006 were $26,355.

The following describes the material features of our non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which the executive officers participate.

The deferred compensation plan went into effect in 2004. Executive contributions are made from base salary or bonus. Under the deferred compensation plan, a participant receives his prior deferrals and vested matching contributions, along with any accumulated earnings thereon, following his termination of employment, disability (as defined by the plan), death (in which case the designated beneficiary will receive the benefit), or upon a change of control. Participants may also receive unplanned in-service distributions in limited emergency situations. The Participant may elect to defer a minimum of $2,000 of base salary and/or bonus, and is subject to a maximum contribution of 90% of the participant’s base salary and 100% of the bonus.

We have hired Clark Consulting to help manage the deferred compensation plan. Clark Consulting has set up an investment vehicle, similar to our 401(k) plan offered to non-executives. The deferred compensation plan allows the participants to allocate and/or reallocate the balance in their account daily among available measurement funds. Therefore, the annual earnings will be dependant upon the portfolio selections made by each participant. During 2006, there was a selection of 14 measurement funds available with a combined average return of 13.95%. The best performing fund was AIM VI Real Estate: SI Fund with an annual return of 42.60%. The worst performing fund was the PIMC VIT Real Return: AC with an annual return of 0.57%. The Maxim Money Market had a return of 4.58%.

We have the discretion to make matching contributions to a participant’s account. In 2006, we matched either 25% or 30% of each participant’s 2006 contributions. The executive officers each received a 30% matching contribution in 2006 for 2005 deferrals. The matching contribution is subject to a five (5) year vesting schedule at a rate of 20% per year. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule, a participant will become fully vested upon reaching the age of 62.

The deferred compensation plan allows participants to elect the form in which the retirement benefit will be paid (lump-sum or installments). The participant has the opportunity to change the form of the retirement benefit payment subject to certain requirements.

We have adopted a “rabbi trust” to protect the assets of the deferred compensation plan.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON

TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

Effective January 1, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Tilman Fertitta, our CEO, that sets forth the general terms and conditions of his employment for the term commencing January 1, 2003. The initial term of the contract expires at the end of 2007. The contract automatically extends for an additional period of five years unless either party provides written notice of its election not to extend.

Under the agreement, Mr. Fertitta agrees to serve as our President, CEO and Chairman of the Board for an annual base salary of not less than $1,250,000. The Compensation Committee is required to review Mr. Fertitta’s

22

salary at least annually to determine if any salary increases are warranted. The agreement provides that Mr. Fertitta shall be entitled to participate in any cash bonus programs established by the Company and, in the absence of a cash bonus program, to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Compensation Committee and in the range of up to two times Mr. Fertitta’s base salary. The Agreement provides that:

• Mr. Fertitta is eligible to participate in the Company’s deferred compensation plans,

• Mr. Fertitta is entitled to an automobile and payment or reimbursement of all operating and maintenance costs,

• the Company will provide an annual expense and/or administrative or support/personnel allowance and will pay or reimburse Mr. Fertitta for annual financial service fees for tax preparation, estate planning and legal or financial advice,

• the Company will reimburse Mr. Fertitta for all reasonable business expenses, including travel, business entertainment and membership fees and dues for country clubs Mr. Fertitta deems necessary to carry out his duties under the employment agreement,

• the Company will provide Mr. Fertitta with the use of Company transportation and dockage fees,

• Mr. Fertitta is entitled to life insurance and other insurance benefits as approved by the Compensation Committee and provided to other executive officers of the corporation as well as payment or reimbursement of medical expenses or charges not otherwise paid for by Company-provided insurance,

• the Company shall provide for the security of Mr. Fertitta, and

• for each year of the agreement, the Company shall make charitable contributions to charities of Mr. Fertitta’s choice of at least $500,000 as well as match Mr. Fertitta’s charitable contributions in an amount not to exceed $250,000 per year.

In addition, the agreement grants to Mr. Fertitta the right to receive stock options and 500,000 shares of restricted stock, to be issued in the amount of 100,000 shares a year over the term of the agreement and which vests 10 years from the effective date of the grant. Beginning in 2006, the Company adopted a general policy to grant restricted stock in lieu of options due to the many variables in valuing option awards. In connection with this new policy, the Company amended the employment agreement effective March 14, 2006. Previously, the employment agreement provided that Mr. Fertitta was entitled to an aggregate of 800,000 stock options over the term of the agreement, of which 250,000 were issued in 2004. After the Committee determined it was in the Company’s best interest to issue restricted stock rather than options, the Committee, based on the recommendation of Pearl Meyer & Partners, issued 275,000 shares of restricted stock to the CEO in place of the remaining 550,000 options. The conversion factor was determined by the Compensation Committee based on a report by Pearl Meyer & Partners. The restricted stock will not vest until seven years from the date of the grant.

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its other executive officers.

In the event Mr. Fertitta’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement), he, or his legal representative, is entitled to receive all compensation he would otherwise have been entitled to receive throughout the remaining term of the employment period as well as other death or disability benefits we provide. In addition, any stock options or restricted stock immediately vest. In the event Mr. Fertitta’s employment is terminated (i) by him other than for good reason, or (ii) by us for cause, Mr. Fertitta will receive all accrued compensation and other amounts owed to him as of the date of termination. In the event Mr. Fertitta’s employment is terminated (i) by us other than for cause, (ii) by Mr. Fertitta for good reason or (iii) within one year of a change in control, all of Mr. Fertitta’s stock options and restricted stock immediately vest and Mr. Fertitta is entitled to receive, among other things, (a) a lump sum payment of $5,000,000 in consideration of his agreement not to compete with us, (b) an amount equal to three times 180% of his base salary, (c) an additional lump sum payment necessary to pay the life insurance policy and (d) a continuation of certain other benefits.

Potential Payments on Termination Following a Change in Control

As described above, our CEO is party to an employment agreement with us and each executive officer is a party to equity award agreements relating to options and restricted stock granted and various plans. These agreements and plans provide that an executive officer is entitled to additional consideration in the event of a termination event. The following sets forth the incremental compensation that would be payable by us to each of our executive officers in the event of the executive officer’s termination of employment with us under various scenarios, which we refer to as “termination events,” including the executive officer’s voluntary resignation, involuntary termination for cause, involuntary termination without cause, termination by the executive for good reason, termination in connection with a change in control, termination in the event of disability, termination in the event of death, and termination in the event of retirement. In accordance with applicable SEC rules, the following discussion assumes:

• that the termination event in question occurred on December 29, 2006, the last business day of 2006; and

• with respect to calculations based on our stock price, we used $30.09, which was the reported closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006.

The analysis contained in this section does not consider or include payments made to an executive officer with respect to contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements to the extent they do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation, in favor of our executive officers and that are available generally to all salaried employees. The actual amounts that would be paid upon an executive officer’s termination of employment can only be determined at the time of such executive officer’s termination. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any compensation or benefits provided upon the termination event, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be higher or lower than reported below. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event, our stock price at such time and the executive officer’s age and service.

Tilman J. Fertitta. In addition to the amounts listed below, Mr. Fertitta is entitled to all accrued compensation, unreimbursed expenses and other benefits through the date of termination in the event of his termination.

(1) In the case of a termination without cause, for good reason or following a change of control, includes a lump sum payment in the amount of $5,000,000 in exchange for Mr. Fertitta’s agreement not to compete or solicit employees. The balance of the cash proceeds represents payments on Mr. Fertitta’s life insurance policy, the value of administrative support services and financial service fees, for tax preparation, estate planning and legal or financial advice to which Mr. Fertitta is entitled under his employment agreement, use of Company transportation and dockage fees, and membership fees and dues for country clubs, all of which Mr. Fertitta is entitled to for a period of five years following the termination event.

(2) Under Mr. Fertitta’s employment agreement, he is entitled to a severance payment equal to three times 180% of his base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the termination event.

(3) Under Mr. Fertitta’s employment agreement, in the case of a termination without cause, for good reason or following a change of control, the Company is obligated to maintain group life insurance, accidental death

24

and dismemberment insurance, hospitalization, surgical, and other insurance coverage in effect immediately prior to the termination event as well as supplemental medical reimbursement until the later of Mr. Fertitta’s death, his wife’s death or until all of his children reach the age of 25 or complete college. In addition, the Company is required to maintain personal security for Mr. Fertitta. In the case of a termination in the event of disability or death, Mr. Fertitta is entitled to benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company to the estates and beneficiaries of other executive level employees of the Company under plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death or disability benefits. In 2006, the approximate cost of the Company provided health insurance and medical expense reimbursement to Mr. Fertitta was $26,260. The cost to us for security services to Mr. Fertitta in 2006 was $246,912.

(4) Represents immediate vesting of all stock options. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 29, 2006, was $30.09 per share.

(5) Represents immediate vesting of all restricted stock awards as well as granting of restricted stock required to be granted under the employment agreement during the term of the employment agreement but not yet granted. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 29, 2006, was $30.09 per share.

(6) In the case of a termination without cause, for good reason or following a change of control, represents excise tax gross-up under Section 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code for all amounts payable to Mr. Fertitta in connection with a termination. In the case of a termination in the event of disability or death, represents excise tax gross-up for amounts payable in connection with the vesting of stock options and restricted stock.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Our Directors who are not executive officers received Director’s fees of $36,000 for 2006, plus the expenses incurred by them on our behalf. Non-employee directors also receive $1,000 for each Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meeting attended, as well as other committee meetings they attend. In addition, Mr. Taylor received $60,000 for consulting and governmental support services, which amount is reflected in the All Other Compensation column. Historically, each non-employee director has received stock options to acquire shares of common stock. In the past, a non-employee director would receive an option to purchase 10,000 of shares of common stock upon their initial election to the Board and 2,000 shares each time such person was re-elected for an additional term as director. No options were awarded to any of the non-employee directors upon their re-election in 2005. The Board of Directors obtained shareholder approval in 2006 to provide for the issuance of shares of restricted stock upon a non-employee director’s election to the Board or subsequent re-election in lieu of stock options. In 2006, each non-employee director received 2,000 shares of restricted stock with a two year vesting schedule. While normally a non-employee director will receive 1,000 shares of restricted stock upon their election or re-election to the Board, the Board made the decision to issue an additional 1,000 shares to each non-employee director in 2006 due to the fact that no equity compensation was issued to any non-employee director re-elected to the Board in 2005. All Other Compensation reflects dividend compensation paid on the stock awards. None of the directors have any perquisites over $10,000.

No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries. The members of the Compensation Committee had no other relationships with us requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K. No executive officer of ours served as a member of the Compensation Committee (or other Board committee performing similar functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of another corporation whose executive officer served on the Compensation Committee. None of our executive officers served as a director of another corporation whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Our policy is, to the extent practicable, to avoid transactions (except those which are employment related) with officers, directors, and affiliates. In any event, any such transactions will be entered into on terms which we believe are no less favorable to us than could be obtained from third parties, and such transactions will be approved by a majority of our disinterested directors.

In 2003, we entered into a Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Fertitta Hospitality, L.L.C. (“Fertitta Hospitality”), which is jointly owned by our President and CEO and his wife. Pursuant to the Agreement, we provide services to Fertitta Hospitality with respect to management and operational matters, administrative, personnel and transportation matters and receives a fee of $7,500 a month, plus reimbursement of expenses. The Management Agreement provides for a renewable three year term. The terms of the Management Agreement were approved by the Non-Employee Directors, who received an opinion of an independent consultant that the economic and non-economic terms of the Management Agreement were a fair-market transaction.

In 1999, we entered into a ground lease agreement with 610 Loop Venture, LLC, a company wholly-owned by our President and CEO, on land adjacent to our corporate headquarters. The ground lease was for a term of five years with one option renewal period. Under the terms of the ground lease, 610 Loop Venture pays us base rent of $12,000 per month plus pro-rata real property taxes and insurance. 610 Loop Venture also has the option to purchase certain property based upon an appraised or predetermined value. In 2004, the ground lease agreement was extended for another five (5) years.

In 2002, in connection with the construction of a Rainforest Cafe restaurant on a prime tract of waterfront property in Galveston, Texas, we entered into a 20-year, with option renewals, ground lease agreement with Fertitta Hospitality having a base rent of $96,000 per year. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the annual rent is equal to the greater of the base rent or sliding scale percentage rent from four to six percent of revenues, plus real property taxes and insurance. The terms of the lease were approved by the Non-Employee Directors, who received the opinion of an independent real estate firm that the economic and non-economic terms of the lease were a fair-market transaction. In 2006, we paid total base and percentage rent in the amount of $567,000.

As permitted by the employment contract between us and our CEO, we made a charitable contribution in the amount of $91,000 to a charitable foundation that our CEO served on as trustee in 2006.

On a routine basis we hold or host promotional events, training seminars and conferences for our personnel. In connection therewith, in 2006, we incurred expenses in the amount of $50,000 at resort hotel properties owned by our CEO and to which we provide management services. The amount that we paid is below the amount that would have been paid by an unaffiliated third party.

We jointly sponsor events and promotional activities with Fertitta Hospitality which result in shared costs and use of our personnel or Fertitta Hospitality employees and assets.

The above agreements were entered into between related parties and were not the result of arm’s-length negotiations. Accordingly, the terms of each transaction may have been more or less favorable to us than might have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. We believe that the terms of each transaction were at least as favorable to us as that which could have been obtained in arm’s-length transactions with an unaffiliated party.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006

The Audit Committee is composed of three Non-Employee Directors and acts under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has the sole responsibility for the appointment and retention of the Company’s independent auditors and the approval of all audit and engagement fees. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors regarding accounting policies and procedures, audit results and internal accounting controls. The internal auditors and the independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee, without management’s presence to discuss the scope and results of their audit work. The Company’s management is primarily responsible for the Company’s financial statements and the quality and integrity of the reporting process, including establishing and maintaining the systems of internal controls over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of those controls. The independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP (“GT”), are responsible for auditing those financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as well as reporting on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee monitors the Company’s financial reporting processes and systems of internal control, the independence and the performance of the independent accountants, and the performance of the internal auditors.

Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent accountants their evaluation of the accounting principles, practices and judgments applied by management, and the Audit Committee has discussed any items required to be communicated to it by the independent accountants in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, and matters related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with the Company’s management and representatives of GT. The Audit Committee discussed with GT the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with GT their independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and has received from GT the written disclosure required by Standard No. 1.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the audit, review, attest and permitted non-audit services to be provided during the next audit cycle by the independent registered public accounting firm. To the extent practicable, at the same meeting the Audit Committee also reviews and approves a budget for each of such services. Services proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that have not been pre-approved during the annual review and the fees for such proposed services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, fees for previously approved services that are expected to exceed the previously approved budget must also be approved by the Audit Committee.

All requests or applications for the independent registered public accounting firm to provide services to the Company must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the independent registered public accounting firm and management and state as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to independent registered public accounting firm independence. In the event that any member of management or the independent registered public accounting firm becomes aware that any services are being, or have been, provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company without the requisite pre-approval, such individual must immediately notify the Chief Financial Officer, who must promptly notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee and appropriate management so that prompt action may be taken to the extent deemed necessary or advisable.

All of the services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during 2005 and 2006 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

PURPOSE

The purposes of the Audit Committee (“Committee”) are to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor; and to produce an audit committee report for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.
