INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by (1) Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Landry’s,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us”), the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Fertitta Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”), (3) Fertitta Acquisition Co. (“Merger Sub”), and (4) Tilman J. Fertitta, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Fertitta”). This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), that we entered into with Parent, Merger Sub, and, for certain limited purposes, Mr. Fertitta. We are sometimes referred to collectively along with Parent, Merger Sub, and Mr. Fertitta as the “Filing Persons.”

If the Merger is consummated, Merger Sub will be merged with and into us, and we will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) (such transaction, the “Merger”) and Parent will own all of our common stock. All of the common stock of Parent will be owned by Mr. Fertitta. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of our common stock (other than shares of our common stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, or shares owned by stockholders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights of appraisal under Delaware law, or shares of our common stock held in treasury) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $21.00 in cash, without interest. In addition, all outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock granted under any of our employee or director equity plans or otherwise (other than those granted to Mr. Fertitta), whether vested or unvested, will at the effective time of the Merger become fully vested and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of common stock underlying the options multiplied by the amount by which $21.00 exceeds the option exercise price, without interest. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of our restricted stock will vest in full and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $21.00 in cash, without interest. Mr. Fertitta has agreed to contribute all of his outstanding shares of our common stock that he beneficially owns to Parent, and, subject to specified exceptions, to vote all of the outstanding shares of common stock beneficially owned by him in favor of the Merger.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, we are filing with the SEC a revised preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act relating to the special meeting of our stockholders at which our stockholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote is required to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each Item in this Transaction Statement are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the annexes thereto. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement. All information contained in this Transaction Statement concerning any of the Filing Persons has been provided by such Filing Person.

The filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any Filing Person or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that we are “controlled” by any Filing Person, or that any Filing Person is our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act.
