Houston business leader and Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is letting cameras behind the scenes at his iconic gambling den, the Golden Nugget, in a new reality series called Secret Life of a Vegas Casino. The show premiered on September 29 on the Discovery Channel, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 8 pm through October 27.
For obvious reasons, running a casino can be a pretty opaque business. Large sums of money, plenty of alcohol, and the thrill of gambling often result in the exuberance that powered the "What happens here, stays here" marketing campaign.
For the first time, Fertitta is offering access to the backstage area of the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, which he bought in 2005 along with the Laughlin, Nevada location for $295 million. Fertitta spruced up the casino, which celebrated its 80th anniversary this August, adding three new locations in the subsequent decades and an online gambling component. Golden Nugget is by most measures bigger than it has ever been.
