Atlantis the Palm, Dubai's new super luxury resort, was officially opened last week at a $20 million most expensive private party ever thrown in the city. The 1,539-room five-star hotel, atop a palm tree-shaped island, built at an estimated cost of $1.5 billion, has a gigantic aquarium with 65,000 fish and a rare whale-shark, as well as a dolphinarium with more than two dozen dolphins. The resort is one of the most luxurious and expensive in the world. Some suites have furniture made of solid gold !The opening ceremony, attended by 2,000 guests including film stars, politicians, royals and star athletes, was a clear show of extravagance. The invitees included Denzel Washington, Robert DeNiro, Charlize Theron, Priyanka Chopra, and Nawal Zoghbi -- just to name a few.
The biggest attraction of the 'the birth of the icon' was a huge display of fireworks, seven times bigger than this year's Olympic Games opening ceremony in Beijing and "visible from space," according to organizers !
