Hard Rock Casino Tejon Breaks Ground On New Hard Rock Hotel As Part Of A $725M Expansion
The project will add a 406-room hotel, 900 more slot machines and more than 1,500 construction jobs, officials said.
- The Tejon Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International broke ground Wednesday on a $725 million expansion of Hard Rock Casino Tejon, transforming the Mettler property into a full-service resort destination by Summer 2028.
- Centering the expansion is a 406-room hotel including 119 suites, alongside expanded gaming, resort-style pools, and a Rock Spa, which Property President Mike Bean called an "exciting next chapter."
- Construction will generate 1,500 jobs, with 350 permanent positions bringing the total workforce to 1,700, a development Councilman Tommy Gonzales described as a "big economic development" for Kern County.
- Celebrating the milestone, the casino donated $50,000 to local nonprofits including Toys for Tots and Honor Flight Kern County, while Vice President of Marketing Kathy Degolia encouraged job seekers to explore new career opportunities.
- Situated 15 miles south of Bakersfield along the I-5 corridor, the property has become a premier destination, with Chairman Octavio Escobedo III noting this investment advances the tribe's long-term resort vision.
