The Chumash Casino Resort has developed 'close the loop' programs with local and national vendors that help organize and recycle many difficult waste streams. As a result, managing waste and energy consumption becomes a critical function for the resort, our Tribal Ownership and the community as a whole. Nestled in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, the Chumash Casino Resort is the 6th largest Native American gaming operation in the very competitive California marketplace, which currently has 61 Native Owned Casinos. The entire resort and surrounding property approaches 1,000,000 developed square feet, has 320 four-diamond AAA rated hotel rooms and over 2,000 slot machines. Chumash Casino Resort entertains over 3.5 million visitors per year and employees near 2,000 people, making it the largest private employer in Santa Barbara County.
