It’s been one week since the grand opening of Hard Rock Casino Tejon, a historic milestone years in the making!🙌 Congratulations to the Tejon Indian Tribe on bringing this vision to life. And thank you to the partners, builders, leaders, and community members who pushed this project forward every step of the way. This milestone marks a significant investment in our region’s future, creating new jobs, expanding #tourism, and fostering long-term #economic growth for Kern County.
