#3 We are living in a combination of the movie Brazil and Weimar Germany, folks.

Or a worldwide version of Stephenson's The Big U.

#4 Room occupancy is down. Clearly a cheaply scripted marketing ploy by the Atlantis and local chamber of commerce. Next please.

#5 She can read ?

Nah, just looking at the pictures.

Honey, its not Sun Tzu - its "Sun Tan" you should be reading.

#6 Oh, good. Looks like she's over her traumatic breakup with...that guy.
And the check cleared...

#7 "Salam Alaikum" is a greeting from one Muslim to another, "Peace be upon thee". Not generally used to a trashy American "heiress".

#8 The socialite said she had big plans to enjoy the culture and wanted to go for a camel ride

I bet she did.

#9 a day after she arrived in Dubai to film a new season of her raunchy reality show.

This ought to cause a few pious Arab (little) heads to explode. Riots in 3,2,l.

#10 A camel ride, is that like a donkey punch?

Joe, I have no idea..I have a family member who visited; I guess its what all the cool kids are doing. 6 star hotels, vegas-in-the-gulf without all the 'sin' and you get to sneak around for a beer like living with the parents again.

Like I GaS, but this is an excellent way to drum up tourism and say, "Hey, we'll have a skank like hilton show up and we can prove how progressive we are".

Personally I think people going to Dubai to party is glorified cow tipping.

#11 Yawn.

#12 Normally I'd agree JohnQC, but these crappy reality shows are watched by a lot more people than they themselves would like to admit.

Imaging. Thats the game. Think: well family works there so maybe I could move there or visit often.

#13 Here's an eye-opening (also stomach-churning, bile-inducing, and BP-spiking) look at the real Dubai. If Paris does swim with the dolphins, she should make sure it's in a well-treated pool.

#14 xbalanke--Thanks for that link. That was like watching a car wreck... tragic, yet so fascinating you can't turn away. Sounds like this place will be a perfect fit for someone of such fine moral character as Ms. Hilton...

#15 I didn't realize there was a pop-up edition of the art of war...

#16 from xbalanke's link "All over Dubai, crazy projects that were Under Construction are now Under Collapse. They were building an air-conditioned beach here, with cooling pipes running below the sand, so the super-rich didn't singe their toes on their way from towel to sea."

really worth a read

#17 Good article. Paris should have somebody read it to her.
