The over-the-top Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi is offering a $1 million, week-long stay which it claims is the world's most expensive holiday package. The Palace Suite package includes first-class airline tickets, a chauffeur-driven Maybach for the week, a personal butler, daily spa treatments, and day trips via private jet, the Gulf-based Khaleej Times Online reports. The offer is being made as an attempt to earn the hotel a slot in the Guinness Book of World Records, and part of the proceeds will be donated to charities in the U.A.E., the paper reports. The luxe day trips include jetting to Iran to weave Persian carpets and to Bahrain to dive for deep sea pearls, which will then be set for you in custom-designed jewellery.

Probably the only place that is immune to high gas prices in the world at this moment, it's no wonder they can demand such high prices for a stay at a hotel.

This is the problem with our society right now. I blame Cheney/Bush and the Republicanbs for supporting the super rich of the world over the average worker. We need CHANGe we can believe in! We need a leader that will lead on the world stage. Please vote for Obama...the world's future depends on it. WWW.DORDEMS.ORG

Oh, please Patrick! It's just like a democrat to blame the president for something that he has nothing to do with! People are wealty not because of the president, it's because they get out there and work hard to get the money that they have. But it does help to have low taxes...I believe that I can spend my money better than the government and the more of my money I get to keep the better. You need to get a clue and if you had any sense you wouldn't vote for Osama...I meam Obama. He's a marxist, a communist and a racist! Not to mention he's an idiot. Yeah, he wants change...a change for the worse. He stands for everything that I as an American am against. If he get's in the white house we're all in trouble. So do your homework on both canidates and vote republican!!! McCain is the man for the job! Check out this website: http://nocommunism.com/

There is no war going on in Iran. What are you talking about? There is a war in Irak.

I agree Patrick...since the Reagan years, the political machine has been "supply side economics", other wise give all the deregulations and tax breaks to corporations and the ultra rich. It was supposed to bring about "trickle down, but it has became quite apparent this is not working. Large Corps and the ultra rich (1 to 3 %) are reaping huge rewards while the masses are struggling. People who complain about "taxes" do not take into account why we tax...to take care of the many needs by the masses...such as safe food...which we now know is not the case...Vote Obama!!!

War in Iran? Currently there is no war in Iran, but if George has his way, he may start one on his way out the door. There is one alright in Iraq, but that's a different country. As for *our* oil money? If the U.S. was not so dependent on foreign oil, that might not be the case.

A million dollars for a 7 day stay ?
For that price, it had better come with round-trip 1st Class Airfare, all Meals, an Open Bar, all the Cocaine you want, and 24/7 Hookers !
BTW - The cocaine would be used as reimbursement for me being stupid enough to drop $1,000,000 ( over $140,000 a day ) for a 7- Day trip, ANYWHERE . . . About 35 kilos should offset the cost ($ 30,000 / Kilo ) !

Those who support O'Bama are by pure definition an idiot.
If you think for a second that any polltician is for the little people think again. The average joe/jane is so brainwashed to think thier party is going to do something for them that they will forgive any of it's members their sins, including directly lying and calling it huffing and puffing.
And in particular voting for a Dem and expecting things to get better is fantasyland, they have had major control of the government, including on some state levels, for a number of years now. SEEN any change in your behalf?
NOT

Four years ago we all voted for the Democrats for Congress and Senate! We were all mad at George Bush for the war in Iraq!
Pelosi and Democrats were going to change things! They were going to Impeach Bush!
What exactly did they change in the last 4 years? Look around you! Higher gas prices, higher food prices and no jobs!
Still want the democrats to run this country?
