Kenji Hall has been appointed as the new General Manager of Yaamava' Resort & Casino in San Manuel by the San Manuel Entertainment Authority.
He has replaced Peter Arceo, who was appointed the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians' (the Tribe's) Chief Gaming Officer in May.
Peter Arceo, Chief Gaming Officer for the Tribe, said: "Kenji's expertise in hotel, food and beverage, marketing and gaming operations make him ideally qualified for leading the next generation of service excellence at Yaamava. He and his team will continue to drive our competitive positioning of Yaamava' as the top casino resort destination in California.”
Hall said: "I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to continue Yaamava's legacy. It is an honour to serve the Tribe in this capacity. The Tribe's mission, vision and values and our commitment to team members are the key elements in growing our market and delivering exceptional experiences for our valued guests."
As Chief Operating Officer-Hospitality at San Manuel Casino since 2017, Hall oversaw the full renovation of the Tribe's Bear Springs Hotel in San Bernardino, California. Additionally, he increased revenue at San Manuel Casino by opening brand-new, wildly profitable food and beverage establishments.
Later, Hall was appointed Chief Operating Officer-Casino, in which capacity he oversaw the growth of gaming activities and had a significant impact on the rebranding and debut of Yaamava.'
