Yaamava' Resort & Casino celebrates 40 years with collector cars and Michelin dining

Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel is celebrating 40 years of operation with a summer-long anniversary event inspired by the year it first opened. The milestone celebration includes collector car giveaways, collaborations with Paramount Pictures, dining experiences from a Michelin-starred chef, and a series of concerts by notable musicians.

Over four decades, Yaamava' has evolved from a local bingo hall into a premier destination for gaming, entertainment, and luxury in Southern California. The anniversary celebration aims to honor this growth by blending references to the resort's origins with its current high-end offerings.

The "Summer of '86" theme pays tribute to the culture and style of the resort's opening year. Through partnerships with Paramount Pictures, guests have opportunities to win replica collector cars from films like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and a chance to win a rare 1987 Buick GNX. The resort is also featuring 1986-inspired horticultural displays and select food items at nostalgic pricing.

A highlight of the culinary offerings is a limited-time six-course dinner at The Pines Modern Steakhouse, created by Michelin-starred chef Paul Liebrandt and Master Sommelier João Pires. This exclusive menu is paired with selections from Collection 86, the resort's curated collection of rare wines and spirits.

The celebration is set to conclude with a week of performances at the Yaamava' Theater, featuring artists such as Eric Church, Christina Aguilera, Imagine Dragons, and Snoop Dogg. These concerts underscore the venue's role as a significant entertainment hub in Southern California.
