U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mike Nakagawa on Wednesday allowed Landry’s Inc. to step in as the operator of the struggling Beso restaurant for the near term.
Landry’s, which owns the Golden Nugget and the Rainforest Cafe among other local properties, took over as manager on Aug. 8 and offered to inject as much as $300,000 to cover accelerating losses.
The controlling owners of Beso, one of the signature restaurants in the Crystals shopping center in the CityCenter complex, contended their bank accounts were shrinking rapidly and they would otherwise have to shut down soon.
