Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon

Tejon, CA

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon is a billion dollar entertainment destination that will bolster Kern County’s growing economy and provide numerous benefits to the region. The Hard Rock Tejon will increase tourism, create approximately 5,000 jobs, increase investment and purchasing in the local economy, provide resources and services for Tejon Indian Tribe members - the only federally recognized tribe in Kent County. 

The proposed project is located approximately 25 minutes south of Bakersfield and is expected to create more than 5,000 direct and indirect construction and permanent jobs once completed.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon will be more than 700,000 square feet of which 150,000 square feet will be gaming space, featuring 2,500 of the most popular slots, 48 table games, and video poker and will be the second closest class III casino to Los Angeles. 

Multiple dining options, including a signature Hard Rock Cafe and fine dining restaurant Council Oak Steaks and Seafood, a Rock Shop, and much more will be included in phase one. 

Rounding out the second phase will boast a 400-room hotel, additional fine dining, pool, spa, cigar lounge and 2,800 seat Hard Rock Live event venue that will draw attractions like concert performances, comedy acts and sporting events to name a few. In addition, Hard Rock’s signature memorabilia will be on display throughout the property. 

The anticipated completion date of phase one is expected to be 22 months after the first shovel in the ground. Phase two is expected to be another 20 months and will complete the entire hotel and casino.

The tribal-state gaming compact between the State of California and the Tejon Indian Tribe is with the California Legislature for ratification.
