From First World Hotel one can overlook green slopes of tropical forest with the winding road to
Gentinghighland. One can feel the peacefulness of the environment in the midst of the white clouds and
gentle breeze. The winding mountain road is fantastic. Never before one could see such wide mountain
roads in Malaysia.

How To Get There from Kuala Lumpur - Genting
Highlands is about 55 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur
Express Bus from Pudu Raya bus station. From Putra LRT
(Terminal Putra Gombak) to Genting.
By Taxi :
Bus Routes:
Buses leave from KL Sentral Train station every hour for Genting Highland.
The journey involved bus and cable car. From KL Sentral the bus will bring you up to middle of the hill and
drop you at Skyway Complex (Cable Car station). From here take the cable car to reach Genting Resort at
the hill top.
The one way journey by the SkyVans service cost only RM70. Ticket is available for sales at counter in
LCCT-KL
The final part of the journey up Genting Highlands involve taking the cable-car. The cable car journey is
scenic and takes about 15 minutes. The cost of the cable car is usually included in the price you pay for the
entire package. There are very long queues during weekends and public holidays.
The cable car station (above photo) is situated at Goh Tong Jaya, a mid hill station just 15 minutes from
Genting. This cable car is what we called Genting Skyway.
Each cable car can carry a maximum of 6 adult passengers. When Genting Skyway is non-operational,
visitors can board the other Awana Skyway. Operation Hours: Sun - Fri 7:30am to 11pm Sat 7:30am to
2am Single journey: RM4 Return ticket: RM8
This is an inexpensive and convenient way of reaching the Genting hill top. The ride offers an unparalled
paranomic view of the rainforest. Because of the high altitude, the spiraling ride by bus instead can be
rather uncomfortable to people who are susceptible to motion sickness.
The cool mountain air makes GENTING HIGHLANDS likes a dream land for a family outing. A modern
integrated family entertainment resort, Genting features six hotels with 9,000 hotel rooms, over 90 foods
outlets, a shopping paradise of over 80 stores, indoor and outdoor theme parks with more than 60 fun

Doubtless you've seen (or most likely heard) the phenomenon known as karaoke at one function or another. And
you've likely either cheered or groaned as someone enthusiastically renders their interpretation of Anita Mui,
Elvis or a plethora of other singers, all to the tune of an instrumental track.
For the uninitiated, karaoke allows you to sing a song to musical accompaniment by following on-screen lyrics.
The word karaoke is derived from the combination of two Japanese words - "kara" which is an abbreviation of
"karappo" meaning empty in Japanese, and "oke" or the Japananification of the word orchestra or oketsura - thus
"kara-oke" which literally means "empty orchestra".
Karaoke has its origins in Japan in the 1970s, when enterprising inventors took
the opportunity to harness the natural Japanese penchant for impromptu performances at after-work get-togethers.
By creating a machine that played music without the vocal tracks, these entrepreneurs kicked off what would
soon become a notoriously favorite pastime of Japanese salary men.
The first recorded use of karaoke predates the equipment, since Asian cultures often encourage an impromptu
vocal performance at weddings and social events in the spirit of comradeship and goodwill. Since its creation in
the 1970s, karaoke has spread like wildfire from Japan throughout Asia, and from there to the West. You can find
karaoke facilities and someone game enough to belt out a tune anywhere from Ho Chi Minh to Hamburg. From
its humble origins as a means of entertainment at functions and after-work get-togethers, it has spread to homes,
colleges and anywhere with a willing (or unwilling) audience.
From what was originally a homegrown Japanese cultural quirk, karaoke has become a global phenomenon that
spans cultures and nations. Music is, after all, a universal language.
Even if you've never sung a tune in your life, or you're a crooner bar none, why not drop by K-Box Zone and Be-
A-Star Karaoke at Genting - City of Entertainment and sing along to some of the hottest Western and Asian
songs available. With top-notch audio equipment and great promotion packages, you'll be having your own mini-
concert in no time.

table games with the advantages of cutting edge technology like Touch Bet Roulette and Vegas Star Baccarat.
After the ceremony, players eagerly tried out the new machines after a brief tutorial by helpful staff. SONGS,
SLOTS, MUSIC AND DANCE
Attendees and patrons were treated to live entertainment throughout the day with live music by a jazz band, dance
performances by resplendently clad dancers in peacock costumes, a performance by the Yuki Dolls band and
most exciting of all, a visit by the God of Prosperity! The traditionally clad deity generously disbursed blessings
and confectionery to players before departing.
In addition, patrons were treated to a range of special offers including a special 1 Genting Point offer for a room
and giveaways that saw many lucky players walking away with souvenirs and prizes galore. Red Bull sponsored
the unique "Winds of Fortune" where players can grab valuable cash vouchers inside a wind chamber while Red
Hot Media sponsored the "Wheel of Fortune" where players can spin the wheel for amazing discounts. Other
lucky players took part in Money Grab sessions with shopping, meal and cash vouchers literally up for grabs.
To keep everyone's energy levels up throughout the party, Red Bull offered free samples of their energy giving
beverage. Hungry attendees were also given complimentary snacks by Nestle such as ice-cream, Maggi instant
noodles and Kit-Kat.
At 3.00pm, the STARWORLD Grand Slot Tournament Finals were held with much fanfare. A massive RM
88,000 in prizes were up for grabs in the tournament. Madam Cheong Yoke Lan from Singapore won the
tournament with RM25,000 Non Negotiable chips as well as a special trophy for First Prize. Madam Chee Choi
Lan from Singapore came out as First Runner Up with RM 15,000 in Non-Negotiable chips with a trophy while

A SWEET ENDING
At 9.00pm, STARWORLD celebrated it's birthday proper the way it's meant to be with a huge birthday cake! The
cake itself weighed almost ten kilogrammes. Senior Vice-President of Casino Marketing Mr. Jeffrey Teoh as well
as a number of VIPs were on hand to cut the cake followed by the jubilant popping of champagne and toasts to
STARWORLD's success.
Afterwards, the humongous cake was shared amongst players and patrons as the party kicked into full swing
amidst live jazz music and a karaoke competition with some patrons demonstrating their vocal skills amidst
enthusiastic cheering and clapping. The best performers walked away with some great prizes. If we need singers,
we know who to ask for next time!
The festivities were concluded at about midnight after 14 hours of non-stop fun and entertainment as players
walked away with happy memories and great prizes. To those who came, thank you so much for your support in
making our First Anniversary one to remember.

Sixth Star Entertainment & Marketing announced on Mar. 02, 2007 that the company has been selected, in
association with David Sandy Productions, Inc. and Cannon Creative, to produce a world class magic event
at Genting Highlands Resort.
The event's main feature will be a "World Invitational Tournament" starring top magicians from around the
world, including invited champions and rising stars. It will also feature strolling close-up artists, magic
seminars, competitions, enrichment sessions for children and adults.
The elaborate event was proposed to International Brotherhood of Magicians officials by Sixth Star
Entertainment president Doug Jones and David Sandy at the recent International Brotherhood of Magicians
board meeting in Las Vegas.
Magic has long been a favorite on the Genting entertainment stages. International magicians are frequently
booked as star entertainers, and the resort is currently featuring the spectacle Fly, with large stage
illusions. "We are excited to be hosting this event" says Ng Kheng Leong - Vice President of Promotions and
Entertainment of Genting
The nearest airport is in Kuala Lumpur. Skybus [2] used to run direct buses, but seems to have stopped; the fastest way is thus to
KL Sentral by train (28 min) and then connecting to the bus from there. Alternatively, if you're feeling flush after hitting a jackpot in
the casino, Sabah Air (tel. +60-3-62578604) will be happy to charter a helicopter for you (30 min).
[edit]By bus
There are frequent buses operated by Go Genting Express Bus from various points in Kuala Lumpur (first bus at 8 am or 8.30 am),
including the Puduraya bus terminal (every 30 min), KL Sentral train station (half-hourly and hourly), Hentian Pasarakyat (hourly)
and Gombak (half-hourly and hourly). There are also less comfortable buses from Pekeliling Bus Station to Genting Highlands
(every 20 to 30 minutes, first bus at 7am). Booking in advance is advisable as services can sell out, especially on weekends.
All buses take around one hour and cost around RM 5 one way, with most terminating at the bus terminal beside the Skyway cable
car base station, from where it's an 11-minute ride up to the summit of Genting (RM 5 one-way; the top cable station is in the
Highlands Hotel). You do not have to wait more than 10 seconds for the next cable car. It is slightly cheaper to buy a combined bus
and cable car ticket, costing less than RM 10. Buses departing at 7.30, 8 and 9 PM on Fri, Sat and Sun head directly to the First
World Bus Terminal, making it unnecessary to take the cable car up. The buses that depart at 9, 10 and 11 pm on Fri, Sat and Sun
for KL Sentral from Genting leave from the First World Bus Terminal, making it unnecessary to take the cable car down.
You may also consider buying the so-called Go Genting Golden Package (valid for one day only; 41 RM, 4 RM more on national
public holdiays) from the Genting ticket office on the second level of KL Sentral. This package includes the return bus journey (same
day only) between KL (KL Sentral and three other points of departure) and Genting bus terminal, the return cable car ride (same day
only) and buffet lunch at the Coffee Terrace or Outdoor Theme Park day pass. You have to decide on what time you want to return
Transtar [3] operates one daily superluxury "Solitaire" bus direct from Singapore (S$87/77 one-way from/to Singapore). Other
companies running direct buses include Five Star Tours, Grassland, Konsortium and Easibook.
[edit]By car and taxi
Genting can be reached by car from Kuala Lumpur in about one hour on the Karak Highway. A private taxi from the centre of KL to
Genting costs 60 to 70 RM. A shared taxi from Puduraya bus station to Genting costs 50 RM per vehicle.
[edit]Get around
All hotels in Genting (except Awana) are connected by sheltered walkways and escalators, so you never actually need to go
[edit]See & Do
[edit]Casinos
The dimly lit, surreal kitsch of the First World Plaza indoor theme park-cum-shopping mall
Let's face it: if you aren't into theme park rides, the only thing to do in Genting is gamble. All casinos are open 24 hours, although
you must be over 21 and, if Malaysian, not Muslim to enter. A notional but widely ignored dress code applies, prohibiting T-shirts,
shorts and sandals, and while there are theoretical non-smoking zones here and there, all casinos are wreathed in dense smoke.
One final difference to Vegas: not only are there no cocktail waitresses, but you can't even buy a drink inside.
Table games of choice are roulette, baccarat and Chinese games such as tai sai and pai gow, with poker barely registering. There
are also countless slot machines, but they all require signing up with Genting's WorldCard [4] system if you want to withdraw any
winnings.
Monte Carlo Casino, Genting/Highlands Hotel. This is easily the largest of the casinos and you'll probably find your vice
of choice in here somewhere — they even have a few video poker machines. Visitors with foreign passports are allowed to
enter the "International Room" VIP zone if they agree to sign up to WorldCard.
[edit]Entertainment
Arena of Stars, [5]. Hosts concerts and shows most weekends, but most feature B-grade Chinese pop stars or Western

low-rent shopping mall with replicas of random landmarks from around the world, all covered with a giant metal roof that makes

Genting International Convention Centre (GICC). Convention center with various halls capable of hosting events,
Genting Outdoor Theme Park, [6]. Features numerous rides typical of an amusement park, mostly suitable for children.
Day pass 38 RM (off-peak), 44 RM (peak); express-lane 57 RM (off-peak), 66 RM (peak). You may use the Go Genting Golden
First World Indoor Theme Park, (located in the First World Plaza). Features numerous rides. Day pass 26 RM (off-
peak), 30 RM (peak). This day pass does not cover Signature Attractions such as Ripley's Museum (30 RM), Snow World (17
RM), Genting Sky Venture (simulated sky diving) (50 RM), etc.
A combined day pass for the outdoor and indoor theme parks cost 51 RM (off-peak) and 59 RM (peak)

destination in Malaysia. It carries over 90 labels with F&B outlets and attractions for all ages!
[edit][add listing]Eat
Food in Genting is generally overpriced and mediocre. Local, Western and fast food are available, but prices are often twice or more
what the same meal would cost in Kuala Lumpur. Most restaurants are halal to cater for the large number of Muslim visitors.
[edit]Budget
There are a number of fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, and Marybrown. All these restaurants charge about 50%
higher than what they charge elsewhere in Malaysia. Try Marybrown's Nasi Lemak meal as breakfast: one piece of chicken, a hot
Penang Food Village, (Theme Park Hotel). would be unremarkable anywhere else in Malaysia, but in Genting it's a notch
above the competition: prices are reasonable (most remain under RM10), there are no crowds or clouds of smoke, and the
food is tasty. Try the lor mee (noodles in black gravy). The spicy prawn noodle soup and the Penang Fried Kway Teow are not
to be missed. edit
[edit]Mid-range
There are some decent Chinese restaurants like the Causeway Bay (FW Plaza Second floor) and Shanghai 10 (FW Plaza Main
Atrium). They serve good food and a meal for 3 (One main course, side dish and a drink per pax) should not cost you more than
RM60.
Coffee Terrace, Genting Hotel. Newly renovated restaurant with an international buffet in plush settings, with many chefs
cooking on-the-spot upon your orders. It serves 6 different cuisines - Local, Nonya, Chinese, Japanese, Western and Indian.
Recommendations include Penang Fried Kway Teow, Chicken Rice, Indian Naan, Japanese Sashimi (really fresh!) and
Medium-well beef steak. Breakfast (0530-1030) 35 RM nett, lunch (1200-1430) 55 RM nett, dinner (1700-2130) 65 RM nett.
Children pay half price for all meals. The Go Genting Golden Package (see above, 'Get in by bus') may be used to cover the
The Olive, (Genting Hotel). Genting's signature award-winning restaurant, located in the hotel lobby, attractively done in a
very modern style. Very expensive, but if you're going to splurge, you might as well go whole hog and try the Wagyu steak,
Nightlife in Genting is very limited. There are four (4) bars of any description in the entire complex, three of them (Safari, Cloud 9, All
Sports) in the lower level of the Genting Hotel and one (Patio) on the second floor of the First World Hotel.
Safari, Genting Hotel (lower level). Tropical jungle theme, spinning R&B.
There are several cafes around such as Starbucks Coffee and Coffee Beans & Tea Leaf available in the First World Hotel.
[edit][add listing]Sleep
With 10,000 rooms to choose from, there are usually plenty of beds at Genting. On weekdays in the off-season, rooms can be very
cheap indeed (under RM 20), but demand is highly seasonal and the hotels fill up fast in November and December. Note that all
All hotels are run by Genting and share the same reservations center, reachable online or by phone at +60-3-27181118.
First World Hotel, [8]. Catering towards the masses and the budget conscious, this three-star monolith with gaudy
exterior paint is (by some measures) the biggest hotel in the entire world, with 6,118 rooms in two towers. And you aren't likely
to forget it: check-in queues often stretch over an hour, room numbers have five digits and the enormous First World Cafe's
breakfast buffet has all the charm of a reform school cafeteria. Standard/deluxe rooms are spartan but clean. The main selling
point is the price: while rack rate is RM240, advance booking weekday promotions go for as little as RM20.
Genting Hotel, [9]. One of the earliest to open in the Highlands, this 5-star hotel offers a wide range of entertainment and
recreational facilities such as heated indoor swimming pool, 10 restaurants (including the award-winning, The Olive), and a
Highlands Hotel, [10]. This 5-star hotel is supposed to be furnished as a Scottish castle with dark oak panels and low
lighting. 932 rooms, open to invited high rollers and Genting WorldCard Silver and above only.
Resort Hotel, [11]. The Resort is a four-star hotel adjacent to the Genting Hotel with its own section of the Casino and
three F&B outlets. Standard low season rates from RM160 nett.
Theme Park Hotel, [12]. A French-themed castle-village-hotel notionally modeled on the 16th-century village of Colmar
in Alsace, France, complete with drawbridge. It ranks as a 3 star hotel, with affordable yet comfy rooms.

There is cheaper accommodation available a couple km down the slope from the cable car base station, such as Hotel Seri
