Palms Casino, owned and operated by San Manuel Gaming, was named the Best Casino in Las Vegas. Not only that, their Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel was named “best” in two categories by USA Today Readers: Best Casino Outside of Las Vegas, and Best Casino Restaurant with their The Pines Modern Steakhouse. Together, the two gambling establishments create a dynamic “California to Vegas Connection” connection, offering the best of both casino experiences in the region through membership in the San Manuel loyalty rewards program, Club Serrano.
“We are dedicated to providing exceptional service and unforgettable experiences to everyone who visits Yaamava’. It is a great honor to be recognized for our unwavering commitment to hospitality,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino. “The tradition of excellence stems from the Tribe’s generous and welcoming nature that extends across various aspects and can be felt by our guests, team members, partners, and friends. It is rewarding to be a part of this culture.”
Yaamava’s Vegas connection, sister property, Palms Casino Resort, was named “Best Casino in Las Vegas“, offering guests a vibrant gaming floor, two resort towers with 766 rooms and suites, and a dynamic mix of dining options including celebrity chef-driven eateries and the popular Ghostbar rooftop lounge. Palms Casino Resort is the first Las Vegas resort fully owned and operated by a Native American Tribe, the San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority.
“We are honored to be named ‘Best Casino in Las Vegas’ and proud to set the standard for quality gaming and exceptional service,” said Latisha Prieto, Chairperson of the San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority. “We are grateful to our team members for embracing our Tribe’s culture of hospitality to deliver an extraordinary experience to every Palms guest.”
Yaamava’ Resort was also recognized in the Best Hotels category. This Forbes- rated hotel offers exceptional guest service, top of the line amenities and features 432 modern guest rooms and suites. Yaamava’ and Palms were nominated by a panel of experts, including editors from USA TODAY, editors from 10Best.com, relevant expert contributors, and sources from both media and other Gannett properties before being voted on by the public.
