They're only SAYING they can surpass the Burj, but truth is they haven't come up with any radically new ideas tht make the experience unique. Putting a hefty price-tag on something doesn't really make it the best (unless you're a russian oligarch) After all, the Burj is in the middle of its own man-made ISLAND, and has a restaurant underneath the seabed, and a fleet of Rolls-Royce limos. Plus the view form the helipad is phenomenal (remember the Agassi vs. Federer tennis match?) And the list goes on... The Burj Al Arab is in a league of its own, and i bet more ppl would wanna stay there in an exciting city like Dubai rather than Antalya (which I bet most ppl, especially dumb heiresses haven't even heard of). The only hotels tht can match the burj in terms of completely-flashy-awesome-eye-popping-jaw-dropping-uber-expensiveness are some of the hotels in Las Vegas, and even they'd have to try pretty hard
