So I've heard bits and pieces of news about upgrades being done to the hotel at Furnace Creek and something about a name change to the Oasis. Not thinking the name change was such a great idea since Furnace Creek is much more historical and the Oasis sounds like something you'd find on the Las Vegas Strip. Also Oasis just sounds generally cheesey and commercial and not really consistent with the ideals of a national park or the great outdoors.
