There is a hotel at the WTC though, somewhere, isn't there. I was there on Wednesday but they didn't set the bar up until 8.20 and only started serving booze at 8.30. It was quite busy, and a whole bunch had turned up at 8 so it got a bit antsy. They are new so probably just going the extra careful mile.
Good restaurants BTW. Saw the Maitre D from Zuma, checking Tamba out, so they must be doing well.

And all it will take is for a few idiots to get carried away and have the restrictions put back in place.

On another change this year, Yas Mall had the food court fenced off today
allowing you to go in and buy and eat food in there. I heard that Dubai Mall and MOE did the same last year.

Jazz@PizzaExpress open from midday but no wine until 8pm, my local is open from 7.30. I've yet to find a place here that's open from midday - maybe the Golf Clubs?
Booze shops open from 10am to 9pm (usually 9.30-8.30).

There's good business in renting out portable screens this year, that's for sure.
