The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the San Manuel Entertainment Authority (SMEA) announced that San Manuel Casino is now Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel, a milestone moment introducing a new era in Southern California gaming and hospitality.

The rebrand to Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel includes a new visual identity and logo, inspired by the ancestral lands of the Serrano people. The Yaamava’ logo takes the form of yucca plant fronds in a woven basket pattern, symbolizing an important aspect of the Tribe’s history in the region and paying homage to the culture and heritage of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

As part of its three-phase expansion project, earlier this year the casino added additional slot machines bringing the total to more than 6500, an additional high-limit gaming room, three retail shops, and new bars and restaurants around the property. This December, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino will open its new 17-floor hotel featuring 432 guest rooms, including 127 spacious suites, as well as a pool deck with seven private cabanas, a full-service spa, and additional culinary options. Next year, a 2800-seat entertainment venue will debut.

“Today marks a new chapter of rebirth and boundless potential, so we have given our property a new name—Yaamava’—the Serrano word for ‘spring’. We are immensely grateful to our Tribal citizens, the thousands of San Manuel team members, and millions of valued guests over the years, all of whom helped make this moment possible,” Ken Ramirez, Chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, said.

The new website showcases what’s to come for hotel rooms and suites, amenities, around-the-clock entertainment options, and details on the incredible gaming offerings for players of any type. In tandem, the Yaamava’ mobile app can be downloaded via Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store for Android.

“Today is an important milestone in our continued journey to debut a best-in-class destination. Yaamava’ Resort & Casino will redefine the thrilling experiences our guests have come accustomed to and provide the highest level of service excellence in the casino and hospitality industry,” Peter Arceo, General Manager at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, said.
