A massive new tribal casino — big enough to rival the largest casinos in Las Vegas — is scheduled to open its doors next month in the Central Valley.

The Hard Rock Casino Tejon, which is set to open Nov. 13, will be the first full-scale casino in Kern County. The property is owned by the Tejon Indian Tribe and will be managed by Hard Rock International.

The $600-million development is on the tribe's lands in Mettler, which is just south of Bakersfield and at the base of the mountain pass known as the Grapevine, near the 5 Freeway.
