The Yaamava’ Theater at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel’s (formerly San Manuel Casino) held its grand opening Thursday night, April 14, with an exclusive private performance by Grammy-award winning artists Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Tribal officials noted the iconic, LA-based band recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The private show at Yaamava’ Theater comes shortly after their latest album release – Unlimited Love – and in anticipation of the group’s tour throughout Europe and the United States.
Yaamava’ Theater reportedly is equipped with the latest entertainment technology and premium seating comforts. The theater has a maximum capacity to accommodate approximately 3,000 guests, which can scale down to 2,500 for shows with reserved seating only.
The venue is powered by L-Acoustics, and it offers an immersive visual experience with three large video walls, a broadcast-quality video room with Panasonic cameras, and two large catwalks extending into the house for greater lighting and video production adaptability.
The new Yaamava’ Theater is the final phase of a $760m expansion at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, located in the Inland Empire, 60 miles from Los Angeles.
“For 35 years, we have provided our guests with gaming and entertainment, and now we are taking it to the next level with Yaamava’ Theater,” Peter Arceo, General Manager at Yaamava' Resort & Casino, said in a statement. “We are grateful for the tribe’s vision and execution of the latest milestone in our resort and casino expansion allowing us to offer even more memorable experiences at the top entertainment destination in Southern California.”
Drew Dixon, Vice President of Entertainment at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, added: “We are proud to have built a venue that provides an intimate and thrilling experience that can’t be replicated. More importantly, we are excited about the talent we have in store and can’t wait to bring top entertainment to our guests and community.”
