San Manuel closed its bingo hall in 2017 and changed the property’s name from San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino to San Manuel Casino. In 1994, the venue was expanded into a 100,000-square-foot casino with slot machines and card games. San Manuel Casino first opened doors as a bingo hall on July 24, 1986. The tribe has also begun filling hospitality jobs.Ĭonstruction work on the project kicked off in the summer of 2018 marking the start of the largest expansion at the gambling venue since its opening more than three decades ago. There is an ongoing recruitment initiative for cooks, cashiers, custodians/janitors, groundskeepers, and more. The San Manuel tribe is looking to fill nearly 2,500 new job positions by the end of the year and is said to be well on track to accomplishing that goal.
The first phase of the multimillion-dollar project includes expanded gaming space, a 24-hour restaurant, a high-end dining outlet, new retail shops, and the property’s first hotel, among other amenities. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is set to unveil phase one of the ongoing $550 million expansion of San Manuel Casino on July 24, the Highland, California-based casino’s 35th anniversary.
