"We think we've got something different and special that the locals will like."

Rooftop Pool Complex
San Manuel plans a new rooftop pool complex with views of the Vegas Strip. Details are pending, however this addition should be attractive to locals as well as tourists.

Kaos Nightclub Closed
The Kaos nightclub will remain closed. A future replacement has not be announced.

Sportsbook
The sportsbook will be upgraded and space may be downsized.

Free Parking
No more paid parking should be attractive to locals.

Restaurants
Major changes are expected for the restaurants before the reopening. Details are pending. The food-court vendors will remain the same.

Name Change
The casino will reopen as the Palms. However, a rebranding of the name is anticipated. A likely example is Palms by San Manuel. This would be consistent with last September's renaming of the San Manuel Casino in California to the Yaamava' Resort Casino at San Manual.
