Tim Poster (born c. 1968)[1] is an American entrepreneur best known for the travel and leisure startup called Travelscape which was sold for over $89,000,000 in 2000, and at one time owning the Golden Nugget Las Vegas before selling to Landry's Inc. for $140,000,000.
Poster became close friends with Tom Breitling as part of their venture together to buy and run the iconic Las Vegas casino, the Golden Nugget, another venture that returned a profit for both Breitling and Poster after selling for $140 million to Tilman Fertitta after only 18 months of ownership[2] (2004–2005).
The timing was particularly fortunate for Poster since only a short couple years after that sale the economy in the United States (and disposable income typically spent in casino resorts) would then dry up beginning around 2007 as part of the Great Recession.
"[3] Poster (and Breitling) starred in a reality TV series about their running the Golden Nugget while they owned the property.
[5] Poster was entertained by high profile guests such as Steve Wynn, Jack Binion, Marc Schorr, David Chesnoff, and many others for his 50th birthday celebration in 2018.
