Hard Rock Casino Tejon

The Hard Rock Casino Tejon sits in Mettler, California, on tribal land of the Tejon Indian Tribe, at the southern boundary of the San Joaquin Valley — near the historic Grapevine mountain pass right off the I-5 corridor from Los Angeles into the Central Valley.
This location places it at the northern boundary of the Frazier-Tejon region, marking the northern anchor of our region.

What Has Already Arrived (Phase One)

• The casino opened November 13, 2025 with a 150,000 sq ft gaming floor featuring 2,000+ slot machines and more than 50 table games.

• Dining and entertainment options are operating now, giving locals and visitors immediate access to high-end amenities.

What’s Coming (Phase Two) – Targeted for 2027

• A 400-room hotel resort is planned, bringing overnight stays and resort-style amenities to the region.

• A 2,800-seat performance venue (amphitheater / “Hard Rock Live” style) will be part of the expansion — designed to host concerts, shows and large-scale events.

• These additions will elevate the region from a day-trip destination to a full overnight resort location.

Why It Matters for the Frazier-Tejon Region

• The hotel and performance venue cement the area’s credentials as a destination — not just for gaming, but for stays, events, and activities that extend beyond the day.

• For residents and potential homeowners in the Frazier-Tejon region, the presence of a resort of this caliber enhances quality-of-life and regional value.

• For visitors, it provides a convenient “hub” — less than 90 minutes from major metro areas, yet within the scenic foothills and highlands of the Frazier-Tejon region.

Next Steps & What to Watch

• Stay alert for the hotel opening date confirmation. While “2027” is reported, exact timing may shift.

• Monitor announcements about the amphitheater’s programming — first-concerts often generate wide regional buzz.
