Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel has announced a range of new celebratory activations over the course of Q1 2026 in honor of its 40 years of continuous operation.
Indeed, these experiences began last week as world-renowned Chef Jet Tila returned to Yaamava’s newly opened bEATS restaurant to introduce new culinary and entertainment experiences through the remainder of the first quarter. Moreover, similar activations – including lobster buffets at the Serrano Buffet alongside festive lighting at the resort’s Hong Bao Kitchen – will also be introduced by Yaamava' and Chef Tila from 17-24 February.
Elsewhere, the resort location has also announced a variety of giveaways as part of these celebratory activations, including a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Porsche 911 Turbo S giveaway in partnership with Palms Casino Resort, with Club Serrano members eligible for entry to win both cars. Yaamava’ Resort is also holding an $88,888-$888,888 Baccarat Tournament from February 18-20, 2026. This tournament represents the resort’s largest-ever Baccarat competition and will be followed by a weekly $2.5m Red Envelope Drawing activation for Club Serrano Members.
Monetary activations aside, February at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino will also see numerous Lunar New Year guest entertainment performances from across the Asian continent.
This latest development falls in the wake of Yaamava’ Resort’s recent recognition at the Global Gaming Awards Americas ceremony in 2025, where the casino resort was awarded the Property of the Year Award for the second consecutive year. More broadly, Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation was also named Responsible Business of the Year for the fifth year running at the awards.
San Manuel Bingo originally opened in 1984 before being expanded to include slot machines and card games in 1994 – subsequently renamed to Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in 2021
