Potential applicants will be able to chat with hiring managers, see celebrity look-a-likes, try out lighting and sound equipment, interview, and possibly receive a job offer.
The casino said it is also hiring for the casino, spa, hotel, customer service, and other areas. New hires can earn $1,000 welcomes bonuses and up to $300 in perks for certain roles.
The Highland resort — formerly known as San Manuel Casino — rebranded itself in September to Yaamava’, a Serrano word meaning “spring.”
Owned by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the casino embarked on a $550-million expansion project in 2018.
In summer of last year, two new gaming floors were opened with 1,300 more slot machines, 40 table games, a high-limit room, new restaurants, and three luxury retail stores.
The gaming website, 500Nations.com, said the buildout made the casino the largest on the West coast.
Yaamava’ unveiled a new 17-story hotel tower in December with 432 rooms, a pool deck, and rooftop lounge.
The new 2,800-seat entertainment venue — known as the Yaamava’ Theater — is expected to open “later this spring,” casino officials said.
