The Casino Association of New Jersey has elected George Goldhoff, president and CEO of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, as its new president.
Goldhoff succeeds Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel, who served in the role for nearly four years.
A hospitality and gaming executive with more than three decades of experience, Goldhoff has led Hard Rock Atlantic City since January 2023. Prior to that, he served as president of Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, where he oversaw a major rebrand and growth for the property.
Goldhoff is also active in community and industry initiatives, serving on boards including The Leadership Studio and Stockton University’s Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality & Tourism.
In a press release, Goldhoff said he looks forward to working alongside CANJ’s members, local officials and state leaders to build on the casino industry’s momentum and further strengthen Atlantic City’s position as a world-class destination.
“It is an honor to step into the role of Casino Association of New Jersey president and continue the strong foundation that Mark Giannantonio helped build,” said Goldhoff. “The Atlantic City casino industry plays a vital role in our state’s economy, from supporting jobs, to driving investment and attracting visitors from across the region.”
Giannantonio said it has been a privilege to serve as president of CANJ.
“I am deeply passionate about this city and industry, and I believe we have a real opportunity to advance Atlantic City’s transformation as a premier destination for gaming, entertainment, and hospitality,” he said. “We are at a critical turning point, and I am confident George is the right person to lead this organization into the future.”
