COVID-19 Update

As the state of California maintains its aggressive efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians will extend the temporary closure of the Chumash Casino Resort, Hotel Corque, Root 246, Hadsten House, and Kitá tasting room for at least another 30 days. This closure timeframe will be constantly reassessed as new information becomes available.

  “We believe that closing the casino when we did was the right thing to do for the safety and well-being of our team members, guests and the greater community,” said Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. “Extending the closure falls in line with the serious measures our local, state and federal agencies have taken to help protect the population and not overwhelm the heroes working in clinics and hospitals throughout the nation. Our tribe has faith that the extreme steps our country is taking to fight COVID-19 will save lives.”
