JETSET REPORT HAMPTONS BEACH UPDATE CHIC Pool Report We’re just back from the grand opening of the pools at THE PALAZZO (www. palazzolasvegas.com), where Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall hosted a hip fashion show displaying the latest summer trends from top retailers in The Shoppes at The Palazzo. The new four-acre poolscape includes four Jacuzzi spas and offers treatments from Canyon Ranch SpaClub and cuisine from Wolfgang Puck’s poolside restaurant, Solaro. The pool layout itself includes 380 chairs and chaise lounges, plus 41 cabanas with 32-inch flatpanel LCD TVs, VHS/DVD players, safes, AC and fully stocked refrigerators. Your jetsetter may feel she knows Long Island, N.Y.’s Hamptons scene, but does she truly know which beach is best? We quizzed our insider, who is an expert on all things East End. Here’s his report: Most popular: Main Beach in East Hampton Most family-friendly: Coopers in Southampton Best surfing: Ditch Plains, Montauk; Ponquogue, Hampton Bays Coolest layout: “The Cut” in Southampton gets its name from the man-made channel that connects the Atlantic Ocean to Mecox Bay. While surfers and swimmers play in the Atlantic surf, there are more tranquil waters in Mecox Bay, all within 50 yards, where you can wade in and see crabs and fish, as well as birds’ nests by the shore. Most tranquil waters: Crescent Beach on Shelter Island. No waves, but what a view! Singapore Loves iPods SINGAPORE AIRLINES’ (www.singaporeair.com) KrisWorld Inflight Entertainment now allows passengers to utilize their personal audio and video content from their iPods or iPhones. The new capability launched with Singapore Airlines’ A345 nonstop flights from Newark to Singapore on May 15 (aircraft shown here); it will also be on the carrier’s Los Angeles-to-Singapore nonstops in August. Customers can also plug in their USB thumb drives and view their photographs with a Photo Viewer or watch videos via Media Player on a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD monitor. RACING UNDER THE STARS We thought your jetsetter would be keen to hear about Remote Lands’ (www.remotelands.com) unique opportunity to attend Singapore’s Formula One Grand Prix. We hear the Singapore event is of special interest, as this will be the world’s first Formula One Grand Prix taking place at night. All races are held on the streets of Singapore, not on track circuits. The Formula One Grand Prix Experience runs from September 25-29 and includes prime viewing locations for the races, a private tour of the pits to meet the drivers and view the F1 cars; it can also be customized with private jet charters, helicopters, VIP audiences and personal staff.
