Dichotomous Dreams

Boeing has their "Dreamliner" and now Melco International Development Ltd has their "City of Dreams":

And here is the lovely slide show to ohhh and awwwww you.

Whose dreams are these anyway? Well, frankly there are the investors dreams...and they pray they do not become nightmares.

As for me, my idea of a "city of dreams" would likely NOT include an underwater Casino with 400 gaming tables and 3000 slot machines. However, it does seem to have all the makings of a great disaster film. The RMS Titanic was called the "Ship of Dreams" and really now, what a wonderful rut for humankind to continue along in: dreaming while the ship sinks beneath us.

I'm pretty sure they are building it under water so they don't have to worry too much about the next Tsunami. No?
