The lounge, which originally opened in 2018, expanded its seating area from 42 to 88 seats and added an outdoor patio lounge, a private lounge, television screens in each room, seven slot machines, a bar, and two blackjack tables active from 6 p.m.-2 a.m. The new smoking space comes at a time when some casinos have scaled back or banned smoking indoors on the gaming floors due to the pandemic. The biggest Agua Caliente casino property recently expanded its Pívat Cigar Lounge. Let’s take a look at this year’s highlights. “This allows to entertain guests outside of the Southern California area, which up until this point has been our primary focus.”Īlthough things are not entirely back to normal this year, an outdoor entertainment center and new restaurants were also among the new additions at Southern California casinos.

“By having a luxury hotel resort like Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, we are able to attract people from all over the world,” Arceo said. The latest addition provides an opportunity for the resort to extend its reach, says general manager Peter Arceo. While other Southern California casinos have invested in providing guests a luxury experience, this year the newly renamed Yaamava’ Resort & Casino joined that mission with its new 17-story hotel tower. Last year, the coronavirus pandemic affected Southern California casino projects by causing delays in construction projects and slowing down their usual traffic but that didn’t stop every casino from expanding.
