The Tallest Building in the World


If you’ve seen Tom Cruise’s death-defying stunts in “Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol”, then you know that Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest building in the world. At 2,723 feet tall — almost two times the size of Chicago’s Willis Tower (1,451 feet) — the skyscraper was created by the government to shift Dubai’s economic focus from oil, give it casino an internationally-recognizable online casino symbol and attract Australian tourists.
