So, other than that one little strip of casinos and hotels, is there really any reason to be a "tourist" in Dubai?

AFAIK, there aren't any casinos in Dubai.
You can't even stay outside because of the heat.
There is no street life or urban experience to speak of, except for maybe the old city.
Most of the high rise hotels are not even finished, and are built for "projected tourism".
possible disgusting bourgeois reasons to go to Dubai:
you want to flaunt your wealth
overpriced shopping
business meetings
conventions
overpriced shopping
virtual golf
spa treatment
hideous disney-esque buildings
5 chrysler building copies
2 citicorp center copies
a disgusting display of wealth designed by every famous architecture firm on the planet
superlative everything
but most of all:
DUBAILAND (google it)
