Dubai spends $250M to get full control of Atlantis

Dubai says it now has full control over the Atlantis resort hotel perched at the top of its palm-shaped island. State-run investment firm Istithmar World said late Friday April 27, 2012 it paid $250 million to buy out business partner Kerzner International, which had held a 50 percent stake in the coral-colored hotel. Istithmar already owned half of the property. Istithmar is part of Dubai state conglomerate Dubai World, which has struggled with high-profile debt troubles of its own.
