BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. (AP) — A state of the art, out of this world design for a new resort at the western end of the Grand Canyon has been presented to Mohave County supervisors.
The hotel would use new technology similar to what’s used in a space station.
Architect Michael Sarda says the self-sufficient hotel also would use solar, geothermal and possibly wind systems for power. It would be built into the Canyon’s walls similar to the Anasazi Native American cliff dwellings of Northern Arizona.
Sarda said water could be drilled from wells but about 90 percent to 95 percent of the water would be recycled, with the remainder coming from rain runoff.
If it’s built, Sarda said the project would create temporary construction jobs and also provide permanent service or maintenance jobs.

How is drilling a resort into the canyon walls any less desecrating to the native land than reclaimed water on snowbowl? Kinda seems like a double standard to me.
