The rise of San Manuel Casino: California’s number one entertainment venue that’s a must-visit in 2020

By LLM Reporters   |  

When it comes to finding entertainment in California, you’ll never need to look far, and in fact, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Sacramento to San Diego, in this sought-after American sunshine destination, it’s safe to say that you’ll be spoilt for choice.

From water sports and tanning at Newport Beach to lakes and landmarks scattered far and wide, there’s something to suit people of all tastes in this vibrant and frenetic sunshine state. And, if you’re only staying for a flying visit, then the range of five-star super resorts available, boasting everything from professional golf courses and luxurious spas to world class casino and entertainment centres, will see you through your stay in style.

The biggest challenge, of course, is deciding where to visit, as with such a wealth of iconic cities to choose from, you’ll want to experience them all. But, if you’re a casino lover looking for a civilised spin or two on the roulette wheel – without the bright lights and brashness of Sin City – then Highland may well be the place.

The city’s San Manuel Casino is fast becoming the number one entertainment destination in California – which is no mean feat, when you consider the competition. Beloved of avid gamers and high-rollers alike, this opulent destination is truly a gambler’s dream, so if you’re in search of a little late-night adrenaline served up beside your dose of sunshine, then head right on over.

“This place is something pretty special, offering an elevated experience for wealth casino goers that is second to none. With some of the best games available in the state, it’s worth deviating from the traditional California routes to get here – especially if you’re hoping to win big,” says Harry Smith at Casinotalk.com – the leading online destination for all the latest news and reviews of online casinos in the USA, and home to the latest promotions like the Sugarhouse Casino promo code.

Southern California’s one-stop destination for entertainment and fun, it’s located just 60 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and a short drive from LA-Ontario International Airport. Millions of guests each year enjoy more than 4,700 slots, Vegas-style blackjack, high-limit gaming, incredible entertainment, sumptuous dining and a generous player’s reward programme, with players receiving in excess of $2 billion in cash, prizes and giveaways since it first opened its doors.

Having recently announced the opening of its newest high limit gaming space, featuring a range of high limit tables and high limit slots, it’s little wonder that it is a destination now often frequented by the rich and famous. Offering more than 200 of the newest and most cutting-edge games in the gaming industry, it has fast become California’s hottest spot.

High limit tables will feature 15 table games, including Baccarat, 3:2 Double Deck Blackjack and Six Deck Blackjack. The ultimate VIP experience is offered up in one of the exclusive gaming parlours available upon reservation, which is just perfect for the high-profile set who would rather avoid being seen.

The newest gaming space brings the casino’s highest table limits yet – $25,000 – making San Manuel Casino one of the best high limit experiences in the country. Guests can rest assured that stakes are always high, and there is always a chance to walk out a winner.

There are no fees to play table games and the rules are generally more favourable at San Manuel and other tribal casinos compared to California cardrooms, which is another draw for visitors from afar. But what really impresses about San Manuel is its sheer size compared to other competitors across the state.

So, what can you expect from you visit? Inside the first-floor casino level area there plenty of gaming options. There’s a circular bar in the middle of the floor where you can grab a drink, game, and/or watch one of the many TVs while you plan your next move. Around the floor are several slots, table games, and a few more bars. Service here is of course, impeccable – something you’d expect of a place that oozes such glamour and sophistication. Complimentary drinks are not on the menu here, which to some may come as a disappointment – but this goes to show the sort of calibre you can expect other players to be of, in a place that knows its worth and is confident of its value and reputation.

From blackjack to baccarat, roulette to craps, this place has got all of the games you possibly wish for, and all under one roof. With over 4,000 000 gaming machines ranging from mechanical reel slots, video reels, video keno in-house progressive jackpots, and over 115 video poker machines, it’s an impressive sight to behold. So, if you’re looking for a serious adrenaline hit on your next visit to California, then take the detour to get here. We promise, you will not be disappointed.
