For the predecessor companies and owners see Golden Nugget Companies (1973-1989) and Mirage Resorts (1989-2000) Golden Nugget, Inc. (Formerly Poster Financial Group) is a Las Vegas, Nevada based private investment firm that was originally created by Timothy Poster and Thomas Breitling to acquire the Golden Nugget Las Vegas and the Golden Nugget Laughlin. ==Owners and acquisition history== When the company was founded as Poster Financial Group the company's principals were Timothy Poster and Thomas Breitling, two young (mid-30s) entrepreneurs who started Travelscape.com, an internet travel site. Tennis star Andre Agassi, a Las Vegas native, was also an investor. Poster and Breitling had no casino ownership experience before acquiring the Golden Nugget. They faced some difficulty in obtaining the necessary casino licenses because of their friendship with Rick Rizzolo, a strip club owner being investigated by the FBI and because of Timothy Poster's uncle who was denied a gaming license because of his alleged association with known illegal bookmakers. The Nevada Gaming Control Board recommended that they be licensed for only one year. The board did however, issue them four-year licenses, with an option to apply for permanent licenses in January 2005. The Poster Financial Group's ownership encountered some difficulties. The television series received ratings below expectations and was canceled after one season. In addition, the strategy of attracting higher level casino player created significant volatility in the first year of operations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Nugget, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
