Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Events

Later this month, billionaire tycoon Sol Kerzner will launch his lavish new resort in Dubai with a $25 million party featuring a fireworks display so massive it will be visible from space. The event, for the grand opening of the $1.5 billion Atlantis, The Palm, will have 2,000 guests and last four days capped by a performance by Kylie Minogue (her first in the Middle East), and is being billed as the world's most extravagant party, the London Telegraph reports.

The 1,500 room resort, located on the world's largest manmade island, the Palm Jumeirah, covers several square miles, features 16 restaurants including a branch of Nobu, and is partially bankrolled by the Dubai Royal Family. The fireworks display is being put on by the same pyrotechnics experts who produce the Olympics opening ceremony; however the Atlantis display will be ten times larger than the one in Beijing, making it visible from space.

No details of the scent have been disclosed yet, but a launch is planned in Australia later this year, followed by a distribution of the brand in Asia and Europe. Coty is the largest perfume maker in the world and already has scents with celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker, whose perfume was internationally praised earlier this year.
