Less than a year after its groundbreaking, the Tejon Hard Rock Hotel and Casino celebrates the placement of the final beam on the future casino.
Jon Lucas, Chief Operating Officer of Hard Rock International, said, “It signifies all the steel is erected for the structure and onward to the next pieces of the puzzle.”
But it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the 150,000-square-foot gaming space.
“When we had the groundbreaking here in December, we were ready to go,” said Candi Asuncion, the Tejon Indian Tribe spokesperson. “It was an exciting day for us, and then the weather came and [there] was a lot of rain… It was like soup out here.”
