>>66248Dubai does allow drinking, most of the major hotels have clubs and bars in them that stay open until 1 or 2, there are also other bars dotted around.
Dubai is pretty dull after a few days though, most people just go their for the sun and shopping, they don't really do that much outside of their hotel facilities.
You've got malls, the beach, water parks, golf courses, that indoor ski place, the crazy buildings... that's about it though.
I'd recommend picking up a copy of TimeOut when you get there, see what's going on.
