Column: Paying another visit to San Manuel Band's casino

Monday, January 6, 2014

Travel columnist checks out the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino, owned by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in California:

The first time I visited San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino I went along on my own and just had a general look around. I found it an interesting place, not the least because it is so near to the center of things in San Bernardino — just off the 210 Freeway.

This latest time I visited, however, I was fortunate to be accompanied by Jonathan Yost, the public relations supervisor, and he was able to fill in a lot of the details in that I had missed that first time several years ago.

“There has been a casino here for 27 years,” he told me. “But this building was opened in 2007.”

It still looks pretty modern and one of the first things I noticed that had changed from the last time was the almost total absence of cigarette smoke.
