Dubai during Ramadan?

Hi,

I am supposed to be going to Dubai next weekend for 2 nights. I obviously didn't realize that it would be during Ramadan when I booked it. We are supposed to be staying at the Atlantis.

What will be open (both in and out of the hotel)? Will I be able to eat during the day at the hotel without being offensive? How about bars/clubs at night - will they be open and serving? Do Western tourists stop coming during Ramadan?

Thanks for any advice, this would be my first time to the Middle East in general (nevermind during Ramadan) and have no idea what to expect.
