DUBAI // A photograph making the rounds on the internet suggests that some birthday celebrants had more than a little fun, ringing up a bill of Dh387,988.

A receipt from the night out at Cavalli Club at the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai dated January 2 has gone viral, with dozens of people tweeting their shock.

Highlights from the itemised bill include a 6-litre bottle of Cristal Champagne for Dh125,000, a couple of 2-litre bottles of Cristal for Dh70,000, 24 Diet Cokes at Dh528 and 10 Red Bulls at Dh290.
