Behind the front desk, a botanical art installation adds a soothing vibe along with the lobby’s water features and natural stone accents. The structure looks as if it is woven from the earth, spouting from the hillside. To the Serrano people, the word yaamava’ means “spring,” and the 17-floor resort tower personifies many of the characteristics of the season for which it is named.
Just 70 minutes outside of Los Angeles, the 432-room resort tower has everything you need when you’re done at the slots - the casino boasts more than 6,500 of them - including an innovative wellness-driven spa, fully stocked poolside cabanas, nearly a dozen dining options that range from Chinese delicacies to prime steaks and rare vintages, and inviting rooms that provide a respite after a long day. In 2021, all that changed with the opening of Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel, a new luxury enclave tucked inside Highland, California’s picturesque San Bernardino Mountains. For 35 years, the Inland Empire’s San Manuel was a casino without a hotel.
