113-acre resort on an artificial island off the Persian Gulf coast will cost $ 1.5 Billion.
Kerzner International, the hotel operator teamed with Dubai developer Nakheel on the resort.
Much of the focus at Atlantis, modeled on a sister resort in the Bahamas, is on ocean-themed family entertainment. The resort contains a giant open-air tank with 65,000 fish, stingrays and other sea creatures and a dolphinarium.
A three-bedroom, three-bathroom suite will cost you $ 25,000 a night.
Donald Trump plans to open a hotel at the center of Palm Jumeirah, where nearby an 1,800-seat theatre will house a permanent Cirque du Soleil show beginning in summer 2011.
By 2010, Dubai aims to attract a staggering 10 million hotel visitors annually, up from about 7 million in 2007. Atlantis alone will increase the city's hotel capacity by 3 percent.
In 2006, Kerzner company took itself private in a $ 3.6 billion deal partially bankrolled by a division of Nakheel's state-owned parent, Dubai World. Nakheel retains a large stake in the company.
Meanwhile, Nakheel's hotel division rapidly expanded. The company's holdings include New York's Mandarin Oriental, the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, and the W Hotel in Washington.
Its parent also owns a minority stake in MGM Mirage Inc., and is teaming with the casino operator and Kerzner to build a massive multibillion-dollar casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
