HIGHLAND, Calif., Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel has officially crowned its newest millionaire, awarding $1 million in cash to a Las Vegas resident during the grand finale of the annual "Million Dollar Moment" promotion on Nov. 30. The high-energy event was hosted by comedian, actor and television personality Howie Mandel, who delivered the life-changing prize live on stage. Kicking off her birthday in unforgettable style, the Club Serrano member clinched a coveted finalist spot at Palms Casino Resort, then travelled to Yaamava' where she claimed her share of the record-breaking payout.

Yaamava' Resort & Casino doesn't just go over the top — they redefine it. Club Serrano members can count on being wowed every single time."

The excitement continued on Dec. 1 as 1,300 additional Club Serrano members each took home $1,000 in cash and $1,000 in Free Play, rounding out a blockbuster weekend of winnings and celebrations.

The grand finale marked the culmination of a five-week promotional extravaganza exclusive to Club Serrano members at Yaamava' Resort & Casino and its sister property, Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

"Million Dollar Moment isn't just a promotion—it's a tribute to the incredible guests who make Yaamava' extraordinary," said Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava' Resort & Casino. "This year's finale was truly special. Howie Mandel brought his trademark energy and big smile as he awarded the $1 million prize, and celebrating more than 1,300 remarkable guests reminded us why we create experiences that stay with you forever."
