What makes this hotel so special?
The hotel costs 13 times as much as Cristiano Ronaldo's one with an incredible value of R22 billion, mainly due to its design in the shape of a guitar. It also has reactive visual spectacles across more than 2.3 million LED light "pixels" on the hotel's facade that makes the building change colours.
The building has 1,271 amazing guest rooms and suites, including a lagoon-style pool, a 12,000-square-foot rooftop bar, a 7,000-seat concert venue, a luxury spa, a casino with 3,000 slot machines and over 200 table games.

What is next for Messi?
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner has been unemployed since June 30th and reports suggest that the 34-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with Barcelona but as the Catalan Giants scramble to find the money to pay for his contract, he will be spending his earnings on a deserved vacation with his family.
Did you know?
Every time Messi scores a goal, his arms and eyes point automatically up to the sky, as if he were praying. In fact, he is not praying, but dedicating all of his goals to his grandmother, Celia Olivera Cuccittini, who passed away some years ago.
