Idea #13: Skiing in Vegas

Vegas is crazy like that. Creating one-of-a-kind experiences that you can only have in Vegas. The very last thing you would think you could possibly do in the desert is to go skiing indoors. But the contrarian nature of it strikes as me as so crazy it just might work.

We have indoor rock climbing gyms. We have huge ice rinks inside buildings that we keep cold. So, why couldn’t we conceive a design for an indoor ski park?

Some casino mogul should buy up some land just outside of Vegas and build an indoor ski park.

Known Implementations: None (are you insane? no one will actually build this)

Has anyone ever heard of someone doing anything like this elsewhere in the U.S.?

    There is a ski resort just outside of Vegas called Lee Canyon, it is not that big but I would imagine somewhat larger than the indoor resort in Dubai.

    Oh sweet. I’ve never heard of Lee Canyon. You’ve been there? What’s it like inside?
