'Smile' singer describes Atlantis Palm Jumeirah as a 'posh Centre Parcs'

Kylie Minogue performed at the launch of the Atlantis Palm Jumeirah hotel in Dubai last night (November 20).

Lily Allen was amongst the guests at the £15 million bash and commented that the hotel looked like a "posh Centre Parcs", according to The Guardian.

Minogue was paid a reported £2 million to perform at the party, which also featured a £3 million fireworks display.

The hotel boasts an aquarium big enough for 65,000 fish and a whale shark, and has a tank that allows guests to swim with dolphins.

Prices start at £300 a room.

£3 million spent on fireworks, yet people are starving, living on less than $1 a day. The inequality is a fucking disgrace.

They have probably spent more money on a 10 minute firework show than what they paid the slaves they used to build it
