What Resorts Casino Hotel does

Resorts Casino Hotel is a privately held casino resort located on a 21-acre beachfront parcel at 1133 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey, operating as the first American casino outside Nevada since May 26, 1978. The property encompasses 942 guest rooms across the Rendezvous Tower and Ocean Tower, an 80,000-square-foot casino floor with 1,300+ slot machines and 60+ live table games including blackjack, craps, roulette, poker variants, mini-baccarat, and pai gow, plus a DraftKings Sportsbook for on-property sports betting. The resort operates 15+ dining venues spanning fine dining (Capriccio, Dougherty's Steakhouse, Mukashi), casual options (Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Guy Fieri's Chicken Guy!, LandShark Bar & Grill), and quick service, alongside entertainment venues (Superstar Theater, Starlight Ballroom), a spa, indoor/outdoor rooftop pool, beach access, and on-property retail.

The business model is multi-vertical resort revenue generation. Primary streams include in-person casino gaming (24/7 slots and live tables), hotel accommodations starting at $109/night plus a $32.95 resort fee, food and beverage, ticketed entertainment, retail, and parking with tiered rates tied to Star Card status. A New Jersey-licensed online casino at ResortsCasino.com extends the gaming business to digital channels, supported by an iOS mobile app for comp balance, offers, and mobile-exclusive promotions. Customer acquisition runs through direct digital channels, the Star Card loyalty program (Premiere through Red Carpet tiers), motorcoach and Lucky Locals programs targeting regional and county residents, and corporate/group bookings for meetings, weddings, and conventions. Marketing partnerships with DraftKings, Virgin Voyages, Ticketmaster, ChargePoint, and Mobility on Wheels augment the core resort proposition without significant capital deployment.
