DESTINATION ATLANTIS, PARADISE ISLAND!

The Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort and Casino Offers Caribbean

Vacationers World-Renowned Dinning Gaming Entertainment,

Recreation and the Luxurious Underwater World of Ancient Atlantis.

Kerzner International’s spectacular Atlantis, Paradise Island resort and casino rises

magically from the turquoise lagoons and blue Atlantic of The Bahamas, and is

known worldwide as a resort destination that has truly redefined entertainment and

gaming in the tropics. A vibrant tribute to fun and playfulness, Atlantis resort has

also offered the perfect location to the numerous films, television shows, concerts

and sporting events that have taken advantage of the pristine tropical destination.

This unique, ocean-themed destination offers a variety of guest accommodations; 40

restaurants, bars and lounges to satisfy any palette; the Caribbean’s most electrifying

casino; extensive meeting facilities; and a marina capable of handling yachts of any size.

Water is the focal point of Atlantis. The resort is built around 20 million gallons of freshand salt-water pools, lagoons and cascading waterfalls. Atlantis’ marine habitat is

second only to Mother Nature in size, with an unparalleled assortment of exhibit lagoons

and underwater formations - all located on a seemingly endless stretch of beach that

has been called the most beautiful in the world. In recent years, the waterscape and

marine habitats at this destination have become even more impressive with the

opening of AQUAVENTURE, the lushly-landscaped water experience of rides and thrills

and Dolphin Cay —a state-of-the-art dolphin education center and interaction habitat.

STOUNDING ARCHITECTURE

To build Atlantis, Paradise Island, Kerzner International’s Chairman and CEO, Sol Kerzner,

took the approach: “Let’s turn all the theories – plausible and implausible, inspirational,

beautiful and outrageous – into a vacation experience that the world will never forget.”

Among the most dramatic features of Atlantis are its soaring arches, domes and spires,

the enormous 70-foot ceiling of the Great Hall of Waters, and the most spectacular and

exclusive suite at any resort, The Bridge Suite. For these towering spaces, Dale Chihuly,

an internationally acclaimed Seattle artist who has been called the Tiffany of the late

20th century, created overpowering sculptures of glass located in the Atlantis Casino,

the dazzling Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Moon: huge tentacles of fiery reds

and orange for the sun, extraordinary icy discs of blues and white for the moon. Chihuly

also created a uniquely beautiful chandelier depicting sea life in the casino’s exclusive

high-limit table area, once again, making water and marine life the focus at this awe-

inspiring resort. These and many other features create a scale that is larger than life,

an apt reflection of Sol Kerzner’s boundless and bold optimism and emphatic belief

that a resort should transport its guests into a dazzling, imaginative world of its own.

It is fitting then, that Atlantis has served as the location for many entertainment and

celebrity events, including: prime-time specials and sitcoms on major networks NBC,

ABC, CBS, MTV and CW; popular US talk shows “Live! With Regis & Kelly” and “The

Martha Stewart Show” and major motion pictures  After the Sunset, Casino Royale and

Duplicity. This is all in addition to the amazing parties and celebrity events that continue

to draw entertainment’s biggest names – including performers Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift,

Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, the Pussycat Dolls and guests

such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, John Travolta, Kim Kardashian, Nick Cannon and

Mariah Carey, Liv Tyler, Rob Lowe, Claire Danes, Michael Jordan, Kanye West and theJonas Brothers.

well as some of the first species ever born in a man-made marine environment.

Within the Predator Lagoon is an underwater acrylic viewing tunnel where guests come

tooth-to-tooth with barracuda and several shark species. The winding Ruins Lagoon,

the largest at the Association of Zoos and Aquariums facility, wanders through the

luxurious Royal Towers, providing astonishing views of giant creatures of the sea. The

Seagrapes Lagoon introduces guests to its nine-foot sawfish. The resort also offers 1,150

feet of waterfalls, underground grottos for wildlife viewing, a 100-foot suspension bridge

for “aerial” viewing and much more. Guests can get up close and personal with

Atlantis’ marine inhabitants during regular daily fish feedings in the lagoons – observing,

interacting and learning about the varied sea life as the Atlantis Seakeepers tend to

them.

The Sea Keeper Adventurer program is available for resort guests interested in a

hands-on experience, as they work side-by-side for a day with the Aquarists and

SeaKeepers throughout the resort

The myth of Atlantis comes alive in The Dig, a maze of underground passageways and

tunnels offering underwater vistas into the boulevards and streets of the ruins of the lost

city. Along the way are the laboratories of the ancient Atlanteans, with their inventions

of electricity, flying machines and submarines; the royal treasury, guarded by deadly

The fun of Atlantis takes off in Aquaventure, complimentary for all guests and featuring

which offers guests a subdued and relaxing ride as they float along, carried by a gentle

current.

A life-size replica of an ancient Mayan Temple features a series of thrilling water slides

and water rides, including The Leap of Faith, a 60-foot near perpendicular plunge

ending in a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon. The Serpent slide,

48 feet up the Temple, spins its riders into the blackness of the Temple’s mysterious core

before they emerge through the shark-filled lagoon at a leisurely “shark-viewing” pace.

The Challengers, two high-speed dueling water slides and the Jungle Slide, which

meanders through exotic jungles and caves, provide more aquatic thrills and excitement.

tower offers guests the choice of four adrenaline-inducing water slides including: The

Abyss – an exhilarating body slide that starts at the top of the Power Tower and drops a

staggering near-vertical 50 feet into total darkness, through a tumbling waterfall and

finishing in a deep cenote filled with menacing Alligator Gars. The Drop, The Falls and

The Surge are three inner tube slides using “master-blaster” technology, which

effectively creates roller coasters from jets of water that propel riders up and downhill at

a fast pace. The Drop - spirals through the Power Tower’s dark center while The Falls -

drops riders down 58 feet before propelling them up again through twisting turns. Both

of these slides are accessible from the river, where guests can exit the river loop to a dry

conveyor, allowing them to ride on their tube to the 58-foot-high level of the tower and

then slide down through snake-like cylinders. The Surge - starts at the very top ofthe Power Tower (stair accessible), drops into a cavern and ends in a flash flood. 

Surrounding the Power Tower is a complex river ride system with waves pushing inner tube riders through lush landscape.

The river loop, called The Current is approximately 1 mile long, contains nearly 3 million

gallons of water, and harbors 7 foot high elevations and drops, as well as an area

called The Rapids, featuring white-water rapids. A wave generator simulates a wave
