Media Coverage Policies

Writers and photographers will be escorted to their assigned seats as noted on the corresponding ticket issued by Yaamava' Resort & Casino  public relations representatives.

Photographers will also be issued a photo credential. Photographers are to only shoot photographs during the first two songs each of act or the first 5 minutes of each comedian. No blocking of guests or seats is allowed. Photographs may only be taken from the side of the stage and in aisles. Photographs are never to be taken directly from the front rows. Flash photography is not permitted. Photo passes are in addition to a ticket, and do not allow for entry by themselves.

To receive concert, comedy or event credentials, all media representatives must be at least 21 years of age. A Yaamava' Resort & Casino public relations representative will meet you at the predesignated time and location, depending on the event. Verification of identity and media outlet may be required upon credential pick up. Tickets will not be available after the start of the event.

For special events, site visits, tours, etc, press credential pick up will be arranged pending the nature of the event and type of credential.
