DBTH recently got an early tour of the soon to open Atlantis at the Palm in Dubai. Wow. Really. No interior photos were allowed, but we were floored by what we saw. The Dubai version is similar to the original in the Bahamas, except it is 3 times the size, making it one large and in charge resort. While the rooms and outdoor amenities are going to be top notch, the area we want to focus on is at the top of the Palm, which will feature the nightlife and hospitality spaces. The Atlantis will be the home to the first Nobu in the Middle East and Sanctuary,  a nightclub being developed by  Raymond Visan. Raymond is an international nightlife kingpin and creator of everyone's Euro treat Buddha Bar. Fabolus! Workers are furiously working to get the Atlantis ready for a Fall 2008 opening. We suggest grabbing a business class seat on a new Emirates Airbus 380 if you want to really enjoy your stay.
