Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 7, 2009, Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it has extended the consent payment deadlines and expiration dates of the previously announced cash tender offers and consent solicitations for its outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 51508LAC7) (the "9.5% Notes") and 7.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP Nos. 51508LAA1 and 51508LAB9) (the "7.5% Notes" and, together with the 9.5% Notes, the "Notes"). The consent payment deadlines for the tender offers and consent solicitations will now be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 14, 2009, and the tender offers and consent solicitations will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2009, unless terminated or such dates are further extended.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 7, 2009, tenders and consents had been received with respect to $181,453,000 aggregate principal amount of the 9.5% Notes, representing approximately 45.9% of the outstanding 9.5% Notes, and $433,000 aggregate principal amount of the 7.5% Notes, representing approximately 10.0% of the outstanding 7.5% Notes.

Holders that tender their 9.5% Notes pursuant to the tender offer may also exercise their option to require the Company to repurchase the 9.5% Notes as provided in the related indenture. If a holder both validly tenders its 9.5% Notes pursuant to the tender offer and validly exercises its repurchase right, the holder’s tender of 9.5% Notes pursuant to the tender offer will also constitute a valid delivery of 9.5% Notes for purposes of the holder’s repurchase right, and, in the event the expiration date of the tender offer is extended past the applicable purchase date for the holder’s 9.5% Notes, the holder will receive the purchase price for its 9.5% Notes on the applicable purchase date, rather than the payment date for the tender offer.

The press release announcing the extensions of the tender offers and consent solicitations is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
