Atlantis Hotel, Dubai: Opening Party on The PalmWorld's Most Expensive Private Party Features Singer Kylie Minogue
The Atlantis Hotel's exlcusive opening party on November 20th is set to break records as the world's most expensive private party and will feature singer Kylie Minogue.
Dubai's latest meg-project the lavish Atlantis Hotel opened its doors yesterday, for the first time. On November 20th, 2008 the resort will host a lavish opening party, which is set to be the mother-of-all parties. This one-night celebration is set to be the most expensive private party ever staged. According to the Daily Mail's September 11, 2008, article "Kylie Monogue to be paid £2 million for 60-minute set at Dubai hotel opening party," the cost is estimated to be around $32 million (£16 million). Kylie Minogue to Perform at the Atlantis Hotel PartyKylie Minogue is billed to perform an hour long set to the 2,000 elite guests including actors, musicians and politicians, for a staggering $4 million. This makes her performance the best paid in entertainment history. There is also a planned $6 million firework display from Grucci’s, the organization which organized the displays for the Beijing Olympics. A further $3 million will be spent on catering ( a dinner designed by 4 Michelin star chefs) and other entertainment. Atlantis Hotel celebrity party guests will also be given free accommodation for the opening night party — adding a further $20 million to the bill. Dubai as Top Tourist DestinationAt a time then the U.S. senate is hammering out the terms of a $700 billion bail out for an ailing Wall Street, America’s economic woes are a world away from the excess of Dubai in the U.A.E. With its oil reserves set to run out within the next 20 years, the emirate, one of seven which make up the United Arab Emirates, has embarked on a building frenzy to secure its future as one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Dubai's Mega-ProjectsDubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum is the driving force behind Dubai’s many mega-projects and superlative tourist attractions. From the artificial man-made island in the shape of a palm to the world’s first 7-star hotel, the world's tallest building — the Burj Dubai, and the largest shopping mall (The Mall of the Emirates) outside of North America. Add to that the $1.5 billion Atlantis Hotel, which had its soft opening on September 24, 2008. The 113 acre resort is the size of 14 Wembly football pitches and is based on the Lost City of Atlantis. The Atlantis Hotel — Palm JumeirahFor all its excesses Dubai’s Atlantis Hotel is a masterpiece of construction. Situated in a secluded spot at the end of the trunk on the 17-frond artificial Palm Jumeirah, the 113-acre resort has an oceanic theme, with an aquapark which includes an aquarium, with dolphins flown in from the Solomon Islands. For its top floor suite – known as the Bridge Suite, the hotel charges around $26,000 per night — and that’s just for bed and breakfast! Emirates Airlines Offers Free Nights at Atlantis Hotel In conjunction with the Atlantis Hotel, Emirates airlines currently offers free accommodation for first and business class passengers traveling to or via Dubai. The offer runs until December, 24th, 2008., but does not include 6 nights in November, which coincides with the hotel's opening party. Terms and conditions apply.
