Robert DeNiro, Lindsay Lohan and Charlize Theron attended the $35 million launch of the world's most expensive hotel.

Around 2,000 VIPs - including A-list actors, models, musicians, sports stars and businesspeople from around the world - enjoyed the opening of Dubai's lavish Atlantis Palms resort Thursday night.

Guests were welcomed in style with a display of one million fireworks, said to be visible from space, and a special hour-long live performance by Kylie Minogue.

Kylie performed a 10-song set, opening with 'On a Night Like This' and closing with 'I Should Be So Lucky'.

For her $2.2 million appearance, she wore a specially-designed gold and black outfit by Jean Paul Gaultier.

Actors including Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Ben Affleck and Rhys Ifans found themselves alongside Mary-Kate Olsen, Dame Shirley Bassey and Lily Allen - who reportedly wore $7.4 million of Chopard diamonds to the bash.

Tennis ace Boris Becker, basketball star Michael Jordan, businessman Sir Richard Branson and Britain's Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, also attended the event.

Lindsay Lohan appeared to have settled her argument with lover, DJ Samantha Ronson, and the couple stayed at the hotel's $29,700-a-night Lost Chambers suite. Samantha also played her biggest DJ set to date at the after-party.

Oprah Winfrey due to be the guest of honor, but was forced to cancel following the recent Los Angeles fires which nearly devastated her home. She was replaced by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.

A branch of high class sushi restaurant Nobu - co-owned by Robert DeNiro and Japanese chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa - opened at the resort.

Nobuyuki himself joined other Michelin-starred chefs Santi Santamaria, Michel Rostang, Giorgio Locatelli and 500 other chefs to prepare a lavish buffet for 200 tables.

The resort also includes a dolphinarium and an open air marine centre with over 65,000 types of sea life.

Around 2,000 VIPs - including A-list actors, models, musicians, sports stars and businesspeople from around the world - enjoyed the opening of Dubai's lavish Atlantis Palms resort Thursday night.

The opening of the £750m Atlantis Hotel in Dubai was celebrated by what's said to have been the world's biggest firework display. There was also a massive star-studded party.

Kylie Minogue reportedly got £2m for performing at the event and was one of around 2,000 guests. Rooms at the hotel aren't cheap though - they go from £550 to £23,000 per night.

The UK celebrity set was well represented at the bash, with Lily Allen putting on a suitably posh frock. Guests at the party also enjoyed lobster and champagne and were looked after by 1,000 waiters.

DUBAI // There was enough pomp and security for a royal wedding at the official opening of the multimillion-dollar Atlantis, The Palm tonight.

Among the A-list arrivals at the hotel was the Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, who walked the red carpet in a revealing white Grecian gown and sandals.

I just want to see the fireworks, baby, Theron said.

Its going to be a great night. I cant believe theyre doing this in the middle of the sea.

Organisers spent US$20 million (Dh73.5m) to put on the party for 2,000-plus guests, who had to pass through three security checkpoints in their vehicles and another on foot. A few of the biggest stars promised or rumoured did not show, including the chat show host Oprah Winfrey, who stayed in the US, and Ben Affleck, the actor, who flew to visit refugee camps in Congo.

Once inside, guests sipped Dom Pérignon in a crowd that included Lindsay Lohan, the actress; Lily Allen and Natalie Imbruglia, the singers; Michael Jordan, the basketball star; Sarah Ferguson, the duchess of York; and Sir Richard Branson, the business magnate, who attended with his family.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the executive chairman of Nakheel, the hotel developer and operator, said: Im thrilled and proud. Five years ago where I am standing now was water.

The event featured the worlds largest fireworks show and a private concert from the Australian singer Kylie Minogue, who made her Middle East debut. Giant Arabic mosaics were projected onto the side of the hotel throughout the evening.

The entire artificial palm-shaped island on which the facility lies was locked down several hours before the festivities began.

Anyone without a ticket was refused entry; residents were forced to show a special pass or tenancy contract to access their homes.

A special exclusion zone was established along the coastline, which banned boats from coming within two nautical miles of the shore.

The midnight fireworks show, designed and executed by Grucci, an American firm, lit up a stretch of the shoreline extending 43km with a display that organisers claimed was visible from space.

The guests were treated to a banquet prepared by several Michelin-rated chefs, among them Nobu Matsuhisa and Giorgio Locatelli.

The evening was rounded off at the nearby Royal Afterglow bar where DJs, including Samantha Ronson, a friend of Lohans, played live sets.

The hotel was built as part of a joint venture between Nakheel, which is controlled by the Dubai government, and the hotel operator Kerzner International.

Another Kerzner property, the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, recently reported that bookings are down and laid off about 800 employees.
