Here's some additional pics

The place must just drip with money.....

Yeah that place is cool. Very very expensive too. I believe it goes for big bucks for a nights stay there. It is turning into quite a hot spot for vacationers , so Im told.
I think they even have an indoor skiing place there with snowmakers and everything much like we'd have an indoor ice skating rink.

Imho the Dubai Palm is much more impressive as an architectural feat then the tower.

www.palmsales.ca...

If you lookup the central building thats going to be put in the middle of the stem of the palm, now thats one hell of a building.

The 160 floor tower is pritty much several towers bult on top of eachother, the higher you go the smaller the towers.

The central building for the Palm has a very unique form and is built on land they created in the water with sand rather then actual land.
