Steven Scheinthal is the general counsel at Landry’s, a Houston-based gaming, restaurant, retail and entertainment provider. Its properties include five Golden Nugget casinos, including one in Atlantic City and a recent opening in Lake Charles, Louisiana; Morton’s Steakhouses and McCormick and Schmick’s Seafood and Steaks. Privately-held Landry’s would not disclose revenue, but it employs around 60,000 people. Scheinthal said the hiring trend is on the upswing over the past year, increasing by more than 10 percent.
