I don't know what it means. I just saw it in naos post earlier in this thread lolYeah, that's where I want to go on vacation.
I'll admit it - I had to Google the word.
'Edge' is good, but I can guarantee 'Desert Edge' has been overused. And it's a bit too 'extreme sports' for my taste. You're on the rim of the Great Basin, so 'Rim' should be in consideration. I agree with you and others RE: avoiding "lodge", "resort", etc.

I agree but I think he is going for that 'extreme sports' thing.
Maybe he should sell the naming rights to Maverick?

Too late. Ink's dry.I wasn't being srs about him naming it Maverick
I'm hurt that you didn't send me a special invitation to your discussion, but I'll drop the bomb anyway.
The name is Utopia. In marketing you play off the word Utah. Don't include lodge or resort or any of that other ****. This place is too good for that. Welcome to Utopia.
You're welcome.

But he also wants the top end of a maturing market; and that top end likes to imagine that they do their extreme sports in less mediated and trafficked places. Unless I'm mistaken, this is definitely/literally a classed up establishment.

If I had suggested Enron I could see your point. If someone built a resort deserving of this name hardly anybody would ever care that some people in Orem didn't like their internet service.For what it's worth, "Utopia" has pretty horrible connotations in Utah County (Orem, anyway), due to the optical fiber thing that was a fiasco at first.

*confirmed*I agree-- "the Edge" sounds like the name of an outdoor paintball course that you'd have there. Not a fan.
I'd say go for a two-word name, the second word referring to the landscape, and the first word referring to the history or significance of the location. Like maybe if there used to be an indigenous tribe that lived there, you could name it after them? Like if it was in the Navajo nation, you could have a name like Navajo hills (not sure if the Navajo nation would find that problematic).
Did any of that make sense? The **** if I know. I'm awful at this stuff.
Sounds like you're by the Beaver Dam wash, or are you near the Black Rock exit?
??? is there any private property accessible from the little rocky jeep road going north off exit around mp 15?
you might be on a rare earths deposit, man.
The problem with that area is, by the time you drive across the Mohave, or land in Vegas and drive past APEX nd the Mormon Mesa, you might really be thinking of big pine trees and a cool glacier-fed creek, and just go on up to Kolob.

I suck at marketing but I've always thought about how board rooms must be filled with a lot of discussion just joking around about naming these places. So here's thinking out loud:
The Grands at Gateway? Your entrance to the grand national parks...
A native tinge would be cool too as there's a lot of history in the area. The Fremonts?
Something to do with a specific hike in Zion's or a landmark?
