Vegas is 2004. Dubai is 09 and beyond. Meet the anara tower, amongst many of Dubai's manmade wonders.

"Anara Tower will be a 125-story mega skyscraper in the Dubai. At about 700 meters tall, will rank among the world's tallest structures. It designed by a British firm Atkins. And it will conform to LEED certification requirements of at least silver rating, maximising water and energy efficiency and potentially including renewable sources of energy. Apart from sky gardens after every 27 floors, the building will have offices, shops, a luxury hotel with 250 rooms, 300 residential apartments, and a place for exhibitions and auctions. The apartments, which are expected to be the most expensive in Dubai, will have luxuries like exclusive swimming pools, exclusive elevators and views of the beautiful coastline of Dubai. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2009."
