Flatley has arrived in Belfast...

Micheal Flatley has splashed out on a luxurious hotel room in Belfast to prepare for what could be his last ever show. The self-proclaimed Lord of the Dance has booked the prestigious £600-a-night Palace Suite at the Culloden Hotel for his visit this weekend.

The superstar dancer, worth £300 million, will fly into Belfast by private jet before performing to 11,000 fans at Stormont on Saturday in his only UK and Ireland date of the tour. Flatley has taken-over the luxury surroundings of the Culloden and ordered that the Palace Suite be modified for his extravagant requests.

Among his lavish demands he has ordered:

His huge entourage of over 150 dancers, road crew and tour managers will take over a further two top hotels. Flatley is also planning a huge VIP only after-show party at a secret location to celebrate the end of the tour.

Last night one show insider said: "When the Lord of the Dance arrives everyone will know about it. Michael is an extravagant guy. His back stage area is very simple but he likes his touring staff to be well looked after. He needs the gym equipment to warm up before the show, he'll also be entertaining some special guests during his visit with the champagne treatment. He has a lot of good friends in Belfast."

Flatley's Feet of Flames Stormont show will be the last of the world tour which has smashed box office records across the globe. The star will not confirm if he intends to retire after the show and concentrate on an acting career. But sources close to the millionaire say the prestigious Stormont surroundings will provide the perfect setting for his career finale.

"At the minute no-one really knows what's going to happen, not even Michael. But the Stormont show has been chosen as the last performance of the tour because it is very appropriate," said a pal. "It is his first and last concert in Ireland for the Feet of Flames tour. He's thinking about his future all the time and probably won't decide anything for sure until after the Belfast show."

Flatley will concentrate on his first ever film after the tour which he has revealed to be a big-budget love story. "I want to try something different after years on the road with the dancing shows," he told the Irish Mirror. "This film is something I have wanted to do for a long time and there's a lot of time and planning that has gone into it. "It's going to be a romantic love story that will show Ireland in a very good light. It's important to me that this is a major blockbuster."
