Atlantis Hotel
Atlantis Hotel: located in the Palm, Dubai.

If Dubai is synonymous with superlatives - be it the tallest building or the biggest mall, the emirate outdid itself for sure this time when it illuminated its skies with fireworks, seven times larger than what was seen at the Olympics.
Planned to perfection, the demonstration was a definite show-stealer, that 'shocked and awed' the 2,000-odd guests at one of the world's biggest bashes on the night of Thursday, 20th Nov. 2008.
Shaikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, arrived at the launch party, just a few minutes before the fireworks began.
Pyrotechnics expert, Grucci, marked the launch of the man-made island and its flagship resort, Atlantis-The Palm, in style a little after midnight, when a myriad of colors and shapes lit the entire stretch of Palm Jumeirah and the iconic resort.
The spectacle had been set off from over 716 firing locations around the island including 400 balconies at the resort, using custom-made shells that had been shipped in from across the globe.
The light and sound display had been superbly coordinated, emanating from different corners of the resort in varied colors.
Organizers spent US$20 million (Dh73.5m) to put on the party for 2,000-plus guests, who had to pass through three security checkpoints in their vehicles and another on foot.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the executive chairman of Nakheel, the hotel developer and operator, said: “I'm thrilled and proud. Five years ago where I am standing now was water.”
The event featured the world's largest fireworks show. Giant Arabic mosaics were projected onto the side of the hotel throughout the evening.
The entire artificial palm-shaped island on which the facility lies was locked down several hours before the festivities began.
The hotel was built as part of a joint venture between Nakheel, which is controlled by the Dubai government, and the hotel operator Kerzner International.
Another Kerzner property, the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, recently reported that bookings are down and laid off about 800 employees.
