Meeting with Financial Advisors to Tilman
J. Fertitta
Project Lasso
Exhibit 99.1(c)(6)

PROJECT LASSO
Pre-opening is typically an ongoing expense for a growth company.  However, it is not a $4.0 million ongoing expense for Lasso, given
the limited expected future new unit openings.  The projection model has $750,000 of pre-opening expense annually in future years,
and it is agreed that this is an ongoing expense.
Two recent transactions, OSI Restaurant Partners and RARE Hospitality International, are not comparable and did not have declining
unit openings and pre-opening expense in the relevant projection periods.  Both situations had projected continued new unit growth and
pre-opening expense consistent with historical levels.
For both of these companies, it is agreed that pre-opening is a recurring operating expense.
With Lasso’s pre-opening falling from $4.0 million in 2007 to a run-rate of $750,000 going forward, the correct ongoing pre-opening
expense to reflect the Company’s growth rate is $750,000.  It does not seem appropriate to penalize EBITDA with a level of pre-opening
expense that clearly does not reflect the current growth expectations.  As a result, $2.9 million of pre-opening for the March 31, 2008
LTM period should be added back to EBITDA.

PROJECT LASSO
It is agreed that the $4.5 million of non-recurring legal and litigation costs related to the stock-based compensation review should be
added
back
to
EBITDA.
After
further
discussions
with
management,
it
is
our
view
that
at
a
minimum
an
additional
$1.0
million
of
non-
recurring/unusual
legal
and
litigation
costs
for
2007
should
be
added
back
to
EBITDA,
which
is
a
conservative
assumption
for
the
excess
legal costs that Lasso incurred in 2007.
Determination of EBITDA and Enterprise Value
Non-recurring Legal Expense
Treatment of Cash in Enterprise Value
Enterprise value should be calculated using net debt, not total debt.  Adjusted cash is therefore $35.6 million as of March 31, 2008,
which excludes $10.0 million in mandatory cash that is physically held on premises at the Golden Nugget properties.  As a result, net
debt would be $849.0 million and enterprise value would be $1,195.0 million.

(US$ in millions)

PROJECT LASSO
Discounted Cash Flow Overview
For the DCF analysis, the CAPM formula and a set of comparable companies for each division/Lasso's projected beta according to
Barra's
Beta were used
General CAPM assumptions:
•
Risk-free rate of 3.5%
(a)
•
Equity risk premium of 7.1%
(b)
•
Size premium of 4.4%
(b)
for the restaurant division and size premium of 9.7%
(b)
for the gaming division
•
Target capital structure (debt/equity) of 60%/40% for restaurants and 70%/30% for gaming
The following assumptions were used for the restaurant division:
•
Cost of capital of approximately 13.0%
–
Pre-tax cost of debt of 11.0%
(c)
–
Re-levered comparable company beta of 1.93
•
Exit multiples of 5.5x -
6.5x EBITDA
•
We also ran sensitivities for same-store sales between (1.0%) and 1.0%
The following assumptions were used for the gaming division
•
Cost of capital of approximately 12.5%
–
Pre-tax cost of debt of 9.0%
(c)
–
Re-levered comparable company beta of 1.99
•
Exit multiples of 7.5x -
9.5x EBITDA
•
The impact of building the new tower was also taken into consideration
The sum of the parts of the DCF by division results in a share price range of $21.00 to $37.00
