So, it was brought up by my family, how nice it would be to stay at an "Ice Hotel".
Lacking proper "papers" or Central American surnames, I cannot get them in or out of Fortress Amerika very easily.
OK, let's see what there is for ice hotels in the Benighted States.
Ah, here's the first one being built, in Alaska. (Still a problem coming and going, but, we'll work on that.)
Oh, wait, never mind...
Update: Construction on the Aurora Ice Hotel has been indefinitely "frozen" by the Alaska Fire Marshall. According to Associated Press reports, the Fire Marshall's office cited "unspecified building-code and public-safety concerns." The owners of the site are continuing construction of what is now being called the world's largest ice sculpture, but guests will not be allowed to stay overnight.

Because, you know, fire is a real issue here:

Of course, you could never get away with such a thing in heavily socialist and regulated Sweden, or Quebec. :rolleyes:
