  Yaamava Resort & Casino at San Manuel

  777 San Manuel Blvd, Highland, CA 92346, United States

  Yaamava Resort & Casino at San Manuel is a tribally owned land-based casino and resort in Highland, California, operated by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. Originally launched in 1986 as San Manuel Bingo, the enterprise expanded through tribal-state compacts into one of California's most prominent Native American gaming destinations. In August 2021, the property was rebranded as Yaamava and opened a 432-room hotel tower, marking its evolution into a full-scale resort. Its gaming floor is frequently cited as the largest slot-machine casino in California, with thousands of slots and video poker machines, more than 140 live table games, a dedicated poker room, and extensive high-limit areas. The property also includes the Yaamava Theater, multiple restaurants and bars, resort pools, and a loyalty program called Club San Manuel. Revenue supports tribal government services and regional charitable initiatives, and the enterprise serves as a major employer in San Bernardino County. Yaamava participates in the broader gambling industry as a land-based casino operator rather than an online gaming brand, and it has exhibited at industry events such as Global Gaming Expo, reinforcing its role as a benchmark for large-scale tribal casino operations in the western United States.
