Dubai on borrowed time

I see a little silhouette of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch, will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me!
Gallileo, gallileo, gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo figaro, magnifico
 
Abu Dhabi who have actually invested in companys and tech around the world that makes huge money, vs Dubai who wanted to be the Vegas of the mideast, but do it over a few years at a vastly higher cost. The problem being that its the first world that can afford to go to a Vegas type place, but the real vegas allows getting smashed, banging hookers, obscene behaviour and is already built and already popular aswell as being English speaking with more hospitable weather.

Dubai might be bigger, but its not finished theres not as much to do there and you can't really get away with the crap you can get away with in Vegas, which is half the reason people want to go somewhere like that.

The fact is the other Emirates will most likely cover the short term debt, 80billion debt in total isn't that much for all the oil coming out of the UAE. What are the two options, banks owing the new Vegas when its finished? Or more likely, someone like Abu Dhabi owning the new Vegas.

Then again Abu Dhabi is being run like a serious serious business and don't seem to throw cash away, some of the investing these guys are doing, Dubai, Brunai, has been ridiculous. Rather than learn how to make more money and invest sensibly, Dubai/brunai is just throwing it away on whims, expensive whims, that have cost them hugely.

There's actually a hell of a lot of hookers, drugs dens, casinos, all sorts in Dubai. A lot of the natives and businessmen like to spend time doing those things. They are not as religious or devout as some would think. You just have to look a little harder, and I'm sure those who have been, can testify to this.

I know full well those things are there, but the impression is whats key. if you can go for a holiday to somewhere with less harsh weather, hookers on tap with no chance of getting in trouble for being caught with one, strip clubs by the hundreds, fake beaches with chicks in tiny bikini's and no one batting an eyelid if you get drunk off your face then you choose Vegas.

Even if you can do those things in Dubai, there are more risks, you can't be quite as brash and loud, and if you get caught you can most certainly get in trouble, though I'm sure plenty of people are caught and not much happens.

But its the impression that Vegas is simply the much safer bet, with frankly more to do, is more finished and well known and also offers soooo much more in terms of a weekend in Vegas then off for a week in miami, LA, New York or anywhere else.

It can't and won't ever be as popular as Vegas realistically, though it can definately attract other crowds of people, but they've really just spent too big too early without allowing its reputation to grow and tourist trade to grow fast enough to keep up with the spending.
 
London Stock Market suspended, a statement says it's a 'technical glitch and connectivity problem AND frantic trading on the Dubai situation''
panic!!!!!!!

Why look hard when it can look for you in Vegas.

I'm not planning on going there until it's finished.
