The Chumash Casino Resort in the Santa Ynez Valley will remain open, but hotels operated by the Native American tribe will stay closed for at least three weeks, representatives said.

“This is a critical time for our state as it grapples with the surge of the pandemic, and we understand the seriousness of this moment,” representatives said. “Our state officials’ hardline approach to preventing the spread of the virus is no different than the position we’ve taken as we’ve added specific guidelines and key infrastructure to maintain a safe environment for you.”
