George Goldhoff, President & CEO, Hard Rock Atlantic City; President, Casino Association of New Jersey 

The gaming and hospitality veteran was recently appointed president of the CANJ at a critical time for Atlantic City as it faces increasing levels of competition from New York City.

When Hard Rock Atlantic City needed a new president, they chose George Goldhoff, who had been running the Hard Rock Cincinnati property. He had previously worked for MGM Resorts and PURE Canadian Gaming and even had a hand in F&B with managing restaurants at the Plaza Hotel and the Rainbow Room in New York City. He was recently appointed president of the Casino Association of New Jersey at a critical time for the Boardwalk casinos now that they’re faced with heated competition from casinos in New York City. He spoke with GGB Editor at Large Roger Gros at the East Coast Gaming Congress at the Hard Rock Atlantic City in April.
