I won't ask how you know that novice =)
He's right about dubai though, I know a few expats that have done stints over there. Earn a lot but everything is so damn expensive. From memory the presidential suite is $10k per night or so.

Most expensive I've done is about $600, though I've done $400 or so at the one attached to KL Airport on numerous occasions, usually because I can't be stuffed taking the express into the city and dealing with all the crap for a night.
I hope they've upgraded the place since coz last I went there was nowhere you could jack in a laptop which bit some serious ass. Particulary in comparison to 4-head showers and king+ beds.
