Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel marked its 40th anniversary with a two-day celebration in Highland, California, headlined by performances from Imagine Dragons and Snoop Dogg.
The event put the spotlight on the resort’s broader entertainment and luxury positioning, not just its gaming floor. Guests attended a welcome cocktail reception at Y Lounge featuring mixologist Giancarlo Mancino and the property’s new Collection 86 menu. The resort also highlighted amenities including a hidden speakeasy-style cigar lounge, where cigars were priced as high as $5,000.
At The Pines Modern Steakhouse, Yaamava’ hosted a $5,000 culinary experience led by Michelin-star chef Paul Liebrandt. Each course was paired with a vintage 1986 wine selected by Master Sommelier João Pires, tying the dinner to the year the property opened.
Entertainment was central to the anniversary program. Imagine Dragons opened their set with “Enemy,” while Snoop Dogg performed tracks including “Gin and Juice,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “What’s My Name?” Kurupt also joined the show and performed “We Can Freak It.”
The second day included a 60-minute treatment at Serrano Spa, including the resort’s signature Gharieni Augmented Massage. The property is described as a AAA Five-Diamond gaming and entertainment destination.
For California casino watchers, the anniversary event mainly underscored how Yaamava’ is presenting itself as a full-scale resort destination built around concerts, dining and premium hospitality as much as casino play. Resort manager Kenji Hall said the goal is to create “core memories” and to offer experiences that feel distinct from standard casino amenities.
What remains unclear is whether the anniversary celebration was open to the public or invitation-only. The source also did not provide attendance figures or mention any gaming-specific anniversary promotions tied to the event.
