A Legend's LEGACY
My friend Elaine Wynn, who died in April, was one of the visionaries behind modern Las Vegas. Alongside her ex-husband, Steve Wynn, she helped transform the Strip from a kitschy concrete and neon canyon into a global capital of luxury, spectacle, and aspiration. Though Elaine's daring vision and flair for design led to dazzling hotels that felt like fantasy dreamscapes, the genius of the woman who was called the Queen of Las Vegas was rooted in her sense of empathy and humanity.

Munich to My Ears
Most people don't go to Munich for the jewelry. Paris, maybe, for Marie Louise's diamond push present in the Galerie d'Apol-lon at the Louvre. Or London for the Black Prince's Ruby (it was actually a spinel) in the Tower. New York, even, for Louis Comfort Tiffany's Montana sapphires at the Met. But stand in front of Queen Anne of Bohemia's crown in the Treasury of the Munich Residenz and you realize: Those people are wrong.

Where's Walden?
For almost a century a small cohort of private “alternative” schools have offered progressive (and occasionally kooky) curricula to families who want their kids to learn how to think for themselves. But do barefoot hikes and chopping wood still have a place in an age of cutthroat college admissions?

Marseille? Moi?
For the past three years, after I went for the first time, I have been telling everyone I know to visit Marseille. Here’s my elevator pitch, which usually sells people. It’s a city that combines Brooklyn (young creative types and cocktail bars), Miami (turquoise water and a vibrant immigrant mix), and Paris (attention to detail and great bread). Did I mention it has the weather of L.A. but not the aggressively twee energy of Aix or the hordes of tourists in Saint-Tropez?

It Was Madrid All Along
If at all possible, we want to arrive by rail. I went from London to Paris just to tee up the train ride: all day, with one change in Barcelona. Beautiful views, lots of time snaking along the Mediterranean coast, not having to take your pants off at the airport...this is good for you. On a train, just practicing not being in a hurry, vacation starts before you arrive.
