Hard Rock International and the Tejon Indian Tribe have announced that the new Hard Rock Casino Tejon venue will officially open on November 13.

Located near Bakersfield on Tejon Indian Tribal land, the property will be the first of its kind in Kern County, California. The Tejon Indian Tribe will own the new venue, with Hard Rock responsible for managing the property.

Once it is open, guests will have access to a 150,000-square-foot gaming floor. This will feature more than 2,000 slot machines, over 50 live table games, and VIP rooms for blackjack and baccarat.

Other on-site amenities will include several dining options, such as a Hard Rock Café location. The property will also include a Rock Shop offering exclusive Hard Rock merchandise.

Hard Rock and the Tejon Indian Tribe said that the privately funded project will create 1,000 permanent roles upon opening. It also generated thousands of construction jobs throughout the build.
