 A rendering of the new resort
The project represents the largest single-phase development in the Caribbean.
It represents an "unprecedented joint venture," said Hotel Online, that will create a "unique metropolis in its setting, design, operation and services."
Baha Mar Resorts Ltd. says it finalized an agreement with casino operator Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and hotelier Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. to build the resort.
Baha Mar will be a mixed-use project on a 1,000-acre site in Nassau.
"They have done a good job, and they are a big project sitting on Paradise Island," Baha Mar Resorts President Don Robinson told Reuters. "We provide an alternative in the Bahamas other than Atlantis."
"This ... will only add to the overall tourism draw to the region," said a spokesman for Atlantis.

 Norwegian to offer at sea bowling!
The move led USA Today to ponder other more unusual offerings cruise ships are coming up these days, including: - Royal Caribbean premiered the first boxing ring at sea in May when it launched the much-ballyhooed Freedom of the Seas, the world's largest ship.
- The vessel also boasts the first "surfing pool" at sea — a pool with a constant, machine-made wave.
- Carnival recently just unveiled Water Wars, a water-balloon battle game complete with "battle stations" that's popular at theme parks. It launched on two ships, the Imagination and Fascination, and will be fleet-wide by next summer.
- The line also has been adding its first miniature golf courses on ships (a concept pioneered by Royal Caribbean) and plans to roll that out fleet-wide, too.

 More Americans will travel this Christmas-New Year's holiday than ever before, according to AAA.

"Because hotel rates and air fares have risen only slightly from this time last year, Americans will not hold back when making travel arrangements this holiday season," said AAA Oregon Senior Vice President Beth Van Horn.
