Tilman Fertitta exclusive: How his San Luis Salute became the biggest Mardi Gras party in Texas
Tilman Fertitta meets with his executive hospitality team to discuss their upcoming infamous Mardi Gras party hosted on Galveston Island on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023 in Houston, TX.It's the second Tuesday in February and Tilman Fertitta's office is party city. One table is covered with floral arrangements and three different versions of candelabras. Swaths of sequined fabrics are draped over a chair.
The pandemic canceled 2021, and Tilman Fertitta's only daughter, Blayne Fertitta, was crowned queen in 2020, the year Usher performed. Flowers, Ware and the rest of the hospitality army have their marching orders."Bigger, and better," Tilman Fertitta said.He inherited the responsibility from fellow Galvestonian George P. Mitchell. Mardi Gras celebrations on the island declined after World War II until Mitchell helped restore the tradition.
Many facets of Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. revolve around organizing the Salute."We don't schedule a basketball game at home that night," Tilman Fertitta said of the Houston Rockets. He purchased the NBA team in 2017 for $2.2 billion. And, he foots the Salute bill. "This year, it's Pitbull," he told the Chronicle exclusively."It's the first time we've ever brought a performer back."Two of his four children, Blayne Fertitta and Patrick Fertitta,always have strong opinions about who should perform, their father said. The three Fertittas, Flowers and San Luis sales and catering manager Michelle Beckwith kick around the names of 3-5 musical artists to make a decision.
