Pros
- "Roaring Twenties" theme and attractive marble lobby
- Located on the boardwalk and steps from the beach
- A 1920s-themed casino with 2500 slot machines
- Indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center, and spa
- Restaurants, nightclubs, and live entertainment on weekends
- Variety of restaurants including Gallagher's Steakhouse
Cons
- Some might find the classic decor staid
- Rooms have tube TVs

- Entertainment options are limited mid-week
- Late check-in times, especially on Sundays
Bottom Line
Resorts Casino Hotel opened as the first casino in Atlantic City in 1978. Located on the boardwalk, this hotel has evolved its original Art Deco theme into a "Roaring Twenties" theme, building on the success of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Dated rooms are split into two towers: the original Ocean Tower and the newer Rendezvous Tower (which opened in 2004). Rooms lack modern amenities such as duvet covers and flat-screen TVs, but there is an indoor/outdoor pool, and nightlife options -- including ProBar, the city's first gay club -- are solid.

Casino, restaurants, and nightlife on the boardwalk with a "Roaring Twenties" theme
Resorts morphed its original Art Deco theme into a 1920s theme after the success of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. The concept is fun and indulgence, and can be seen everywhere from 25 Hours Casino Lounge, with lively entertainment nightly, to the Divas Do AC revue, to the city's first gay nightclub, ProBar. Servers in flapper outfits delivering cocktails in the casino add to the theme, as does ragtime music playing from outdoor speakers.
