Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel will host an exclusive US residency of Latin rock band Maná in April and September 2027, building on a previously formed partnership which saw the Tribal property serve as presenting sponsor of the group’s Vivir Sin Aire Tour.

"Maná's influence on Latin music is unmatched, and we're honored they selected Yaamava' Theater for their only US performances in 2027. At Yaamava', we continually strive to elevate the guest experience through world-class entertainment, and this landmark residency represents an important milestone in that journey,” Yaamava’ Resort & Casino VP of Entertainment Drew Dixon said. 

“We're excited for this next chapter and look forward to continuing to bring premier artists, exclusive engagements and unforgettable experiences to Southern California."

The Latin rock band will perform a limited number of shows at Yaamava’ Theatre, currently scheduled for April 6, 8 and 11, and September 1, 2 and 6. 

Following the opening set of performances in April, Maná will celebrate its 40th anniversary during May 2027, having won four Grammy Awards and nine Latin Grammy Awards since debuting. 

In Las Vegas, MGM Resorts confirmed tennis legend Rafael Nadal will take part in the operator’s MGM Slam event – scheduled for February 28, 2027 – marking Nadal’s first appearance since retiring in late 2024.

Speaking on the event, Nadal said: "I remember how impressive it was to feel the energy of a full arena in a city like Las Vegas. After that match in 2024, now I return in a different stage of my life, without the pressure of the tour but with the same passion for this sport.

“I have always loved competing, and even if my professional career is finished, that feeling never really goes away. Being on court again at T-Mobile Arena, against one of today's top players, is a beautiful opportunity to enjoy tennis and give something back to the fans who supported me for so many years.”

Nadal will compete for a top prize pool alongside many of the current top tennis professionals, while additional players, event format and broadcast partners will be unveiled “in the coming weeks” according to MGM Resorts. 

Extending the operator’s presence on the court, MGM Resorts was named the Title Sponsor of the Pro Padel League (PPL)’s inaugural Las Vegas event on October 22, scheduled to take place at Park MGM from November 18-21.

According to both parties, the title sponsorship marks the beginning of a “multi-year relationship,” set to feature additional experiences and activations launched across MGM Resorts properties.
