The Atlantis, or more properly "Atlantis The Palm," officially opens September 24. Set on the Palm Jumeirah -- one of Dubai's artificial sand atolls -- it has a few things going for it.
● 1,539 rooms
● 27,000 square feet of designer shopping
● 100 feet vertical dive at the Ziggurat water-park ride
● 28 bottle-nose dolphins on the "grounds"
● 65,000 fish in the underwater labyrinths
● 27 spa treatment rooms
● 1 restaurant transplanted from New York’s Tribeca neighborhood (that would be Nobu, of course)
● 43 days before Atlantis officially opens, though they’re taking reservations now
