Tell your girlfriend to pump her brakes. Dubai is a great airport. Everything is ultra modern and clean. Probably one of my favorite airports in the world to get stuck on a layover at.

It is a surreal experience worth having at least once. That's going to be a crazy long trip though, see if you can manage an overnight layover so Emirates will put you in a free hotel.

Depends on which side of the US he's going to. Since he mentions stopping in LAX or IAH for a possible layover I assume he's traveling to the East Coast. It's still a long flight but kind of a six of one, half dozen of the other thing. Emirates is a really nice airline, so I wouldn't worry about opting for a long layover. Certainly not by choice. However if you get stuck there for a bit, so be it. The terminal hotel is quite nice. With that said, there's plenty of lounges and sitting areas that can be used as beds and I've never felt unsafe there traveling by myself.

Take the cheap flight through DXB and enjoy the vacation with your girlfriend.
