The tower is 8.23 metres tall and located at the resort's Asateer Tent.
It took a whopping 54,740 flute glasses to create the pyramid.
Luuk Broos events company comprises surgeons who were part of the delicate process.
The creators of the structure say while setting up the base is the most important part, the hard part is the last few metres on top.
The world's largest drinking glass pyramid will be on display at Atlantis The Palm's annual New Year's Eve Gala Dinner.
It will remain in place until January 1.
It took five days to build the drinking glass pyramid.
The dismantling process requires glasses to be removed one by one, and usually takes about a day.
