| Houston, Texas & Germantown, Tennessee � June 12, 2007 � Landry�s
Restaurants, Inc. today announced the expansion of its utilization of the
AnyRate competitive intelligence reporting to hotel properties in Galveston,
Texas and Laughlin, Nevada. The San Luis Hotel & Resort in Galveston
and the Golden Nugget Laughlin now make a total of 4 Landry�s hotel and
casino-hotel properties making use of the AnyRate tools as part of their
enhanced pricing and revenue management processes for 2007.
Nicki Keenan, Senior Vice President of Sales for Landry�s Restaurants, Inc., commented that �our previous success in deploying the AnyRate program at our Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Inn at the Ballpark properties prompted our desire to expand the program to Galveston and Laughlin�. Keenan further indicated that �the ability to customize the competitive intelligence program to meet the very unique and differing needs of our casino hotels, resort properties, and urban properties has made AnyRate the right partner to work with Landry�s�.
AnyRate offers a variety of competitive rate shopping reports and tools, via both regularly scheduled reports as well as the Flash real-time rate search tool. AnyRate Flash is a true real-time search tool that conducts rate searches upon customer request, ensuring the freshest, most up-to-date rate intelligence possible.

Any Rate competitive rate shopping reports are regarded by hoteliers as user friendly and very feature rich.
