Time to take a trip to the cosmos for the next tin foil hat theory. The show may have just picked Monument Valley for its scenic backdrop, but is there something more to the setting of Westworld?
Ford constantly refers to the "world" that he created, so let's take it in a more literal sense and theorise that Westworld is on the completely different world of Mars.

We saw Bernard video calling with his wife, suggesting that it isn't just as simple as hopping on a plane over there, while the old phone home video call is also a calling card of outer space sci-fi films. To add a final touch to the theory, Jonathan Nolan even wrote the space travel film Interstellar!
