The
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians announced plans for a major expansion of its gaming facility in southern California.
The
San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino will finally get a long-requested hotel, Jerry Paresa, the tribe's chief executive officer said. The
expansion project will bring about 500 rooms to the facility, along with a 4,000-seat entertainment venue, more gaming space, new amenities and a 2,200-vehicle parking structure.
“A hotel and other improvements will allow us to meet the growing needs of our guests, and bring additional economic benefits to the community,” Paresa said in a
press release on Tuesday.
The expansion will take place on 795,000 square-feet of property adjacent to the existing casino, The San Bernardino Sun reported. Construction is expected to start early next year and be complete in 2020, the paper said.
The facility recently debuted a "Rockin’ Casino" area, The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. It's also home to the first
Rock & Brews in Indian
Country. The eatery was created by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, the frontmen of the legendary band
KISS, and recently underwent an expansion, the paper said.
“We had more customers than we could serve,” Loren Gill, the casino's general manager, told The Press-Enterprise. “A month after we opened Rock & Brews, I went to the tribal council and suggested we expand and it was approved by the end of last year.”
