Yaamava San Manuel Casino

San Manuel Casino — now officially known as Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel — is a large-scale Native American casino resort in Highland, CA, owned and operated by the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. The property features over 7,500 slot machines, 150+ table games, a 17-floor hotel tower, multiple dining venues, a full-service spa, and the 3,000-seat Yaamava’ Theater. The casino is free to enter (no admission charge) and offers extensive accessibility provisions throughout. There are over 160 accessible parking spots available on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring a valid ADA placard. A designated rideshare drop-off and pick-up area is located on the fourth level of the North parking structure. Elevators, escalators, and ramps are available throughout the complex. All restroom facilities at Yaamava’ Theater are wheelchair accessible and clearly marked in the lobby of each level. ADA-accessible hotel rooms are available in all room types. Service animals are formally accommodated under a published policy; animals whose sole function is to provide emotional support do not qualify under this policy.

At Yaamava’ Theater, Assistive Listening Devices and accessible seating are available for guests. Sign Language Interpreters are available upon request — guests should contact the Box Office for arrangements. Ear plugs are also available upon request at the theater. The casino maintains a service animal policy aligned with ADA requirements, allowing trained service animals throughout the property. Guests are advised to bring their own mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, or canes, as these are not available for loan on-site. The property also offers a courtesy shuttle service operating 24/7 from the South parking structure, and a 425-foot pedestrian bridge with moving walkways connects the North parking structure directly to the casino on the fourth floor.

Visitors note that the property is very large and can involve significant walking between areas, so guests with mobility needs are encouraged to plan routes in advance. Some visitors mention that crowd levels can be high, particularly on weekends and at the start of the month, which may be a consideration for those sensitive to busy environments.
