Located just two hours from Houston, Fertitta had long desired a casino-resort near the headquarters of Landry's, Inc. In December 2013, construction topped out on the 25-story accommodations tower. Fertitta announced improvements and upgrades to the property, investing more than $600 million in the project, one of the most expensive construction endeavors in the United States at the time. A sale agreement was reached with Landry's, Inc., parent company of the Golden Nugget casinos, who agreed to pay the costs expended on the project's development to date. In order to obtain approval for the merger from FTC antitrust regulators, Pinnacle agreed to the sale of two of the combined company's properties, including Ameristar Lake Charles. In December 2012, Pinnacle agreed to acquire Ameristar.
