2. Atlantis Hotel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 阿聯酋迪拜亞特蘭蒂斯飯店

Opened with great fanfare, not to mention eye-wateringly wasteful expense, at the end of 2008, the hotel boasts some quality restaurants and an admittedly great water park.

2008年底，亞特蘭蒂斯酒店在嘹亮的號角聲中開業了，花費巨大。酒店標榜擁有高檔餐廳和公認美麗的水上公園。

Fact: The display that launched the hotel used 100,000 fireworks, around seven times more than were set off at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

實情：酒店開業典禮燃放了十萬束煙花，比北京奧運會開幕式所用煙花數目多了七倍。
