The Chalfonte Hotel was named after Chalfont St Giles, a village and civil parish in England that is located in the southeastern region of Buckinghamshire. The original hotel could only accommodate guests, but in , the building was expanded and was moved towards the ocean so that guests would have a better view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Another hotel, called the Haddon House, was built across the street where the Chalfonte House is located, and this location is where the Resorts Casino Hotel is currently erected. The Chalfonte Hotel officially opened on July 2, The Haddon Hall hotel was further expanded into a larger building during the s.

The state wide referendum to approve Casino Gaming in Atlantic City only passed.

Sports betting is expected to infuse new energy, bringing the untucked masses to casino sports books and new beer gardens. From the vantage point of Resorts, 40 years has left the casino well-positioned, and not just by virtue of being next door to the Hard Rock. Now owned by businessman Morris Bailey and operated by the Connecticut-based Mohegan Sun, with a partnership with Jimmy Buffett and his Margaritaville brand, Resorts has survived decades of an industry in which Atlantic City's original East Coast monopoly now seems quaint.
But the coming expansion of the contracted industry has some predicting fresh casino obituaries.
