San Manuel Casino, trying to keep staffing apace with its growth, will hold a hiring event Saturday, Jan. 11 in an effort to fill several hundred positions.

The job fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. will be at the Event Center at the Bear Springs Hotel, 27923 Highland Ave., an accommodations partner for San Manuel.

The casino is looking for workers in the food and beverage service, slots, table games, transportation, housekeeping, entertainment and marketing sectors, among others. With more than 5,000 employees, San Manuel is one of the Inland Empire’s largest private-sector employers.

New additions at the casino complex include a new parking structure, an Asian restaurant and a high-limit gaming room. In the coming months, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will add improvements worth $550 million, including a hotel with 450 rooms and a 3,000-seat event center.

San Manuel said it offers competitive salaries, health insurance, 401k benefits with employer matches, performance bonuses and other perks.

Applicants are advised to dress professionally, as some will be hired on the spot.
