Opened with great fanfare, not to mention eye-wateringly wasteful expense, at the end of 2008, the hotel boasts some quality restaurants and an admittedly great water park.

2008年底，亚特兰蒂斯酒店在嘹亮的号角声中开业了，花费巨大。酒店标榜拥有高档餐厅和公认美丽的水上公园。

Fact: The display that launched the hotel used 100,000 fireworks, around seven times more than were set off at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

实情：酒店开业典礼燃放了十万束烟花，比北京奥运会开幕式所用烟花数目多了七倍。
