All seems very 'Dr No' it sucks that this type of advanced technology / design always happens outside the United States though...

built by slave labour

The fuckers in Dubai build the coolest stuff...

nope, by immigrants from other Asian countries.

this is true. mad Philippinos there, and other asian people. Dubai has nice places. For the most part it is shit. very hot, very over rated. To far from the US for me to even care to go back to a place like that..

Looks pretty cool :)

Great looking hotel same ill probably never afford to stay there

what ya expect too much dam red tape here in the states.... environmental reports, save the guppy legislation, save the water lice, taxes, taxes and more taxes, impact fee's, more bribes, zoning, permits, more permits, union bullshit....

Bad ass.

Hit the mail on the head :thumbsup

I wonder how they keep the radicals at bay in Dubai. Seems out of all the places that would be easy for them to hit westerners in their own back yard, it would be there.

Why dont they worry about making proper sewer infrastructure instead of all this fancy stuff? Isnt this the place that has a convoy of shit-filled trucks lining the highways at certain times because they have no way of dealing with it? Also seen some celebrity say she was almost arrested there for hugging a man in public that she was not married to. Such a backwards place.

security. they have the money for it.

to get to the main hotel there you have to pass through like 5 layers of security

Indeed :2 cents:

That looks pretty cool I have to say. very nemo!

Awesome! I like their craziness.

And it's things like that that will make me never ever visit there, no matter what other cool shit they build.

Fuck them!

This article.on the labor in Dubai is very interesting:

A famous starlet right now got $50k for hanging out with a dubian for a weekend.

As already said - Just a shame all the cool stuff is in Dubai. I don't fancy going there.

yep some real cool stuff in Dubai for sure

looks cool would love to visit it :)

The plans for that place have been on the go for many years. Dubai isn't even running at 50% occupancy at the moment so the last thing they need is more hotels.

By paying them huge amounts of $$$$$$

source..?

For hotel to be profitable often its enough to have 30%+ occupancy.

Plus even if the city gets only 50% occupancy it does not mean this particular developer could not get 80% or more.

They need to build fancy shit otherwise nobody would come their for vacations and they need tourist to replace oil when it ends.

i prefer more fun places

One more place for the traveling whores to visit.

This is a really good point, there is supposedly places there that have absolutely no sewage drains or fresh water access.

They also admitted when they were building the one hotel that they should have probably built salt water conversion plants instead.

sweet stuff

I've already lived underwater once, you can have it, scenery never changes

You have obviously never been to Dubai...

People are abandoning their luxury cars because they can't pay the bill and going back to their original countries. Same thing will happen with the fancy buildings real soon..

What? Are you sure you quoted the right person? :2 cents:

i would like to see this made
