Led by Ken Ramirez, Chairman of San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, along with the Yaamava’ team on site - which includes Peter Arceo, General Manager, Afsi Bird, VP of Hotel Operations, Kenji Hall, Chief Operating Officer, Casino, and David Kopasz Chief Operating Officer, Hospitality, - the team was able to pay homage to the culture and heritage of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, while presenting an elevated guest experience. The resort features an elevated pool deck experience, a lavish full-service spa, more than 10 dining options and retail located on the main casino floor.
Meaning “spring - a time of growth, rebirth, renewal and transformation” in the native Serrano, the resort’s rebrand includes a new visual identity and logo, inspired by the ancestral lands of the Serrano people. The 17-floor and 432-room hotel is the latest addition to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians’ award-winning casino.
