What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

Ed,

Do you think you should contact the SPCA about potential unwanted advances against a small dog by a big bellman? There could be an imbalance of power in that relationship. This would be the subject of an Oprah show, except that today is the first day without Her.

Gadling question: I'm out of the loop here in Sevilla. Does anyone know if Gadling is still paying writers?

Oh yes, that lobby! I wrote a story about the Chelsea a year ago, and it ends with one of the bellmen, a big kissing a resident's little dog. Last month I was walking on West 23rd St., and I saw that same bellman kissing that same dog.

Re Ed's comment: Wish there was a Like button I could hit! True, the Chelsea is a mess. I stayed there a while back for a story and couldn't bear to set foot into the shower. But the lobby is just plain special, as is the edifice, and those wide hallways are bigger than some hotel rooms you see. The Empire, a Chertit property, is an extremely uneven hotel but loads better than before it was renovated. Fingers crossed.

New owner for the Chelsea Hotel: Any way we, the press, can get Chetrit to take the Hippocratic Oath ("First, do no harm)?

Didn't realize I'd be the 1000th member, but COOL! Thanks for the special welcome :)

Actually, I am currently shopping several story angles based on a recent press trip to Marquis Los Cabos' luxury resort (also highlighting the area's other of upscale offerings). If anyone is familiar with publication titles that might take interest in such article focuses as destination spa, holistic health, gastronomy & wine, eco-interest, arts & architectural profiles of world-class resorts, I'd love to hear your thoughts! - Thanks a bunch :)

Yes, Allan, the airline dictates the amenities provided in each seat class. According to Seatguru, Air New Zealand's 747 don't offer in-seat plug-ins for Economy class. Good to know about Air Canada, but I don't think that they fly to NZ. They, too, connect w/Air New Zealand, I believe...
Allan Lynch May 2, 2011 at 11:39pm

Stacey,

Wouldn't the plug availability be more up to the airline? Air Canada has plugs in all rows of the planes they fly internationally, but then they also have a much better entertainment package, with each seat having its own TV and a choice of movies, television programs, games and music.
