Get ready to rewind the clock, because Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is turning 40 with a summer celebration packed with music, movies, luxury and major ’80s energy.

Forty years ago, 1986 brought us unforgettable pop culture moments, blockbuster movies, legendary sounds, and a style that still inspires today. Now, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel is bringing that era back with a birthday bash that transforms the entire summer into a high-energy throwback experience.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the resort is channeling the spirit of 1986 with nostalgic experiences, exclusive giveaways, themed activations, and plenty of opportunities for guests to step into a decade known for big personalities and even bigger entertainment.

The party soundtrack is already set. Yaamava’ Theater is welcoming an all-star lineup of performers for a summer of can’t-miss concerts, including Eric Church on July 19, Christina Aguilera on July 21, Imagine Dragons on July 21, and Snoop Dogg on July 24. Whether you’re ready to sing along to country hits, pop anthems, rock favorites or hip-hop classics, the anniversary celebration brings some of the biggest names in music straight to the stage.

And, you guessed it — the festivities go far beyond the spotlight. Food lovers can take their celebration to the next level with a one-of-a-kind $5,000 culinary experience featuring Michelin-starred chef Paul Liebrandt and Master Sommelier João Pires. The exclusive dining journey showcases Collection 86, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino’s selection of exceptional wines and spirits, creating a lavish experience designed for guests who want to celebrate with unforgettable flavors and unforgettable pours.

Movie fans are also getting a front-row seat to the nostalgia. In partnership with Paramount Pictures, Yaamava’ is honoring the 40th anniversaries of two beloved ’80s films: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Pretty in Pink.” Guests can expect special events inspired by these cinematic favorites, along with exciting giveaways that bring classic ’80s style into the spotlight.

One of the biggest prizes up for grabs? A 1987 Buick GNX, a dream ride that perfectly captures the attitude and design of the decade. Adding even more artistic flair to the celebration, renowned tattoo artist Mister Cartoon is creating custom artwork inspired by the anniversary festivities.

Yaamava’ located in Highland, California, just 70 minutes east of Los Angeles, is a premier AAA Five-Diamond luxury gaming and entertainment destination. From headline concerts and movie-inspired moments to elevated dining and collector-worthy experiences, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino’s 40th anniversary celebration is turning summer into a full-on time machine back to 1986 — with all the excitement, glamour and entertainment of today.

Pack your best ’80s-inspired look, gather your friends and get ready for a birthday party four decades in the making. This resort is a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of energy.
