Ever wonder why Halliburton moved to Dubai?

That was 18 months ago, here's what is going down today:

But how about one last party while the continent sinks beneath the waves? Last night, South African casino owner Sol Kertzner shot off $20 million worth of fireworks to celebrate opening his Atlantis resort with friends Robert DeNiro and Charlize Theron on Dubai's Palm Island. Holy Moly! Check out the fireworks, Priyanka Chopra (quite a dish) as the Goddess of Atlantis, and tiny Kylie Minogue dance stepping out of the giant 3-D video looking like she's 80 feet tall!

I designed the carpet in that hotel- the Atlantis. It's quite the property- one of the biggest hotels in the world.
 
Sol Kertzner is not a well liked man back home.

Just a personal grudge we have against his kind of capitalist.

Dirty, dirty boy
