     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D, as previously amended to date (the “Schedule 13D”), by (i) Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Pershing Square”); (ii) PS Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PS Management”); (iii) Pershing Square GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pershing Square GP”); (iv) William A. Ackman, a citizen of the United States of America; and (v) Richard T. McGuire, a citizen of the United States of America (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”) of Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On October 4, 2010, the Issuer announced that its stockholders had adopted and approved the merger in accordance with the terms of the amended merger agreement.
