Yaamava’ Resort & Casino named Property of the Year at Gaming Expo

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel was named “Responsible Business of the Year,” during the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas earlier this month.

This marks the fourth consecutive win for the tribe in this category. Yaamava’ Resort & Casino also took home the coveted title of “Property of the Year – North America,” standing out from hundreds of premier gaming properties nationwide.

The San Manuel Tribe’s “Responsible Business of the Year” award celebrates their unwavering dedication to outstanding business practices and their profound impact on the communities they serve. Since 2003, the Tribe has donated over $400 million to causes ranging from healthcare and education to social development and cultural preservation across Indian Country. In 2024 alone, San Manuel contributed $12.6 million to more than 200 philanthropic initiatives across the Inland Empire and beyond.

“Investing in our people and preserving our communities are foundational values at San Manuel,” said Lynn Valbuena, Chairwoman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. “We are inspired by our ancestors and motivated by our youth to operate responsibly so that future generations may thrive. We are grateful to our team and our loyal guests for this recognition, and we congratulate our fellow Global Gaming Awards honorees.”

In addition to its win for “Property of the Year,” Yaamava’ earned second place for “Customer Loyalty Program of the Year” with its renowned Club Serrano, which also extends its benefits to Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point, CA. Yaamava’s General Manager Kenji Hall was also honored by his peers, finishing in the top three for “American Executive of the Year.”
