Santa Clarita residents waded through traffic delays and long lines, but survived the opening of one of the regions newest attractions as the Hard Rock Casino Tejon officially opened to the public on November 13.
The opening was celebrated with Hard Rock’s iconic Guitar Smash Ceremony and featured a color guard presentation, a tribal blessing, and a $100,000 charitable donation before doors officially opened to the public at noon.
“Today is a historic day for the Tejon Indian Tribe and for Kern County,” said Chairman Octavio Escobedo III of the Tejon Indian Tribe. “This destination represents our Tribe’s vision, resilience, and longstanding commitment to creating opportunity for future generations. We are proud to see this project come to life and to celebrate this moment alongside our partners and our community.”
