Talk about extreme indulgence.  Relax and have the time of your life if you can swallow the price.  This is the seventeen layer triple chocolate cake of  hotel resorts. 
Atlantis is a hotel on the shore the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
On the Atlantis they have 17 different restaurant bars, 166 suites, 1,373 guest rooms, host 65,000 aquatic creatures, a dolphin interaction and learning center, Aquaventure--a waterpark, and an enormous aquarium to greet you as soon as you enter the hotel lobby. 
However, Atlantis has dealt with legal disputes due to failure to honor legal permits in capture and maintenance of its aquatic animals, although it does host an accredited rescue center for the animals.
