The hurricane�s affect on the property was mainly cosmetic in the areas of landscaping and minor water leakage in some public areas and rooms. The property never lost power or water. The 50,000 fish and sea animals living in the marine habitat weathered the storm undisturbed. The Marina at Atlantis provided shelter for 70 yachts. The Marina received no damage and is fully operational as well. The resort�s extensive offering of pools and water slides are available for guest use following deck cleanup. 

According to Atlantis� water sports staff, many people are taking advantage of today�s clear, sunny sky and warm temperatures to enjoy the outdoors. 

Mr. Kerzner, along with a staff of 400, attended to the needs of the resort�s 1700 guests, who, because of the company�s comprehensive hurricane preparedness program, were made secure and safe in an efficient manner. To assure property-wide safety, guests were accommodated in the resort�s new conference center ballroom where they were entertained with movies and games and served hot meals. Camp counselors from the property�s recently opened Discovery Channel Camp organized recreational activities for the youngsters. Guests, who received two nights� complimentary accommodation and food and beverage, returned to their rooms late Tuesday afternoon and many enjoyed an evening in the Atlantis Casino and restaurants. 

�I�m very proud of the Atlantis staff who took exceptional care of our guests,� said Mr. Kerzner. We had a solid plan in place for handling this situation and I�m pleased with the outcome. There was a great deal of bonding between the guests and remarkably many people came out of this with friends. We are happy that the property is in good shape and that we can welcome new guest arrivals this week.�
