Atlantis Hotel opening - Fireworks
Does anybody have any knowledge what time these are meant to be?
I have a perfect view of the Palm and the Hotel from my apartment so was hoping to have a few friends around to watch....
Someone has suggested midnight - which sounds a tad late? Even the Hotel says it doesn't know (well the chap on the switchboard who couldn't find anybody to answer the question)...

She should be so lucky! If it was not evident already how much developers in Dubai value the input of a celebrity name, the news that Kylie Minogue is to be paid about $4.4 million (£2.8 million) to officially open the $1.5 billion Atlantis Hotel on November 20 should silence any doubters.
Fireworks should be good they say it will cost $6.6 million and 46 km of the palm will be used !! I think it would have to be after Kylie's private concert.

I was invited, but I turned it down. 
Went to a party at Nobu the other week too. What a let down that place was...not a patch on London (and they had the US waiting staff in town too - so at least that was good)
