I was there in Feb of this year and found it to be amazing. It is undoubtedly not a model for sustained city building but it's haphazardly planned city scape and seemingly unlimited wealth and ego make it very interesting none the less. Many question and dislike the architectural styles built here but I would think that it would be an architects dream to, with the right owner/developer, build whatever they could vision.
