See the sources for more information, and if you get Discovery Channel, check out show times. You can see the engineering that went into building it. It's actually pretty fascinating.

And, now they know how to do it right, I would not be surprised if it didn't appear in Vegas, soon.

Something to think about...

If it had been built in Dubai, first, I could almost understand the grievance. But ... from: Indoor Skiing - Snow Domes @ ABC-of-Skiing.com

"There are at least two Snow domes opening each year. Nowadays, approximately 30 Snow domes around the world are in operation and many others are still under construction. Most of these Indoor Ski slopes can be found in Europe, which is leading in terms of Snow domes. Some Asian countries are also into Snow domes after SSAWS of Tokyo, Japan which previously the biggest Indoor Ski slope in the world."

AND...

If something like this HAD been built in Las Vegas FIRST, THEN in Dubai, would we be complaining about it being built using profits from GAS? Uh... I really don't think that MOST of Vegas' money comes from GAS/OIL, does it?
