If you want to talk about terrible usage of money, look at the "government". They waste money like no other.

If you have it, enjoy it.
Didn't they just go bankrupt or something recently? I remember hearing that another country had to bail them out or something like that.
Wha? Our government?

Nah not us. The United Arab Emirates gave Dubai a $10 billion bailout I guess. 
Didn't one NT'er who used to live over there said the night life is nonexistent? Like they have mad bread and whips and stuff but its still real strict over there

Dubai is one of the UAE, Abu Dhabi gave them a bailout.

As for nightlife....by UAE standards it's definitely a liberal place. By our standards, not so much. Liquor laws are strict since it's Muslim but hotels can serve it so there a lot of bars and clubs are in hotels........It's not a wild scene but there are some fun spots and the clientele tends to be very rich. Some celebrities, lots of wealthy people from all over the UAE. It's definitely UAE's "nightlife capital" from what I can tell.

Good summary by CAMEL. My bad 18th, I was confused. Yeah, they were on the verge... I mean the real estate development over there is stupid. Half finished buildings just rotting in their shells, etc., very wasteful and they tried to do it too fast.
