Kenji Hall appointed general manager for Yaamava’ Resort & Casino

Kenji Hall has been announced by The San Manuel Entertainment Authority as the new general manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino.

He will be taking over from Peter Arceo, who was named chief gaming officer for the San Manuel Ban of Mission Indians (the Tribe) in May.

Hall has held management and executive leadership roles with many notable industry names including Hilton Hotels, Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts. Joining San Manuel Casino in 2017, he has worked as chief operating officer-hospitality and chief operating officer-casino. During this time, he has led the renovation of the Tribe’s Bear Springs Hotel in San Bernadino, California, and opened new food and beverage outlets, driving revenue growth to the resort.

“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,” said Peter Arceo, Chief Gaming Officer for the Tribe.

Hall added: “I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to continue the Yaamava’ legacy as a best-in-class resort and casino. It is an honor 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.”
