Hi guys, havn't been to genting in a while, quick questions.

May i know which casinos are in operation. I know that sky casino is one of them, however, i'm unsure of the other one. Is it the one where you have to take the long series of escalators up, go past the arcade and kfc, the one near "hao you ji" ? What is the name of that casino huh. Or is the other casino the one just beside first world hotel (the old one, not the sky casino).

The best to do at genting Highland is eat and eat and eat drink and drink and drink . Drink kopi eat cake at Starbucks. Eat gui Lin GAO there. Drink herbal soup. Eat some snacks drink some bubbles tea also. Don't always stay at casino too often too long and don't spend too much time gambling.

I guess they realise how many pro's and hard-hitters are floating around fr table to table...these butterflies are not captured under their radar... when finally they try to tally overall gaming profit/loss against individual cardholders i guess they knocked against the wall...thus, the need to bring back those punters under their radar...but pit-bosses will hv a hard time monitoring those not putting bets.

Btw - those using meal vouchers from GP redemption (eg.deduct 9 pts) now will hv limited choice in the outlets...at least i know that it can't be used @ Good Luck restaurant or Hou Mei at Lvl-1 of Sky Casino...

Only vouchers fr bus programs/rolling can be used...they really calculate the ROI until the minute details....

For 9-pts vouchers, only can go to Peace Cafe/ Express, Pot Luck, old casino Good Luck restaurant, Gold Noodles Bar & Hainan Express.

im a butterly also with no genting card or whatsoever. when i wanna change back my chips, i tio stun abit cos they tell me above 10k chips need genting member card.

10k not alot mah, why need member card.

CIMB bank is at the mezzanine level besides the Coffee Terrace at the old casino side. Public Bank is at Sky Avenue level 3 if I remember correctly.

I thought CIMB was there too. But seems now it is just currency change counter. No branch there. I thought I remembered wrongly. So there was a branch there before.

The "emporium" that sells cheap and shiny stuff below that previous CIMB branch also gone. Will miss it. I use to buy cheap bags there.

I think it has been closed for many months. Probably after Genting initiate lawsuits against Fox over the outdoor theme park. And at least since Dec last year.

I distinctly remember buying some Genting fridge magnet from the store that was the previous Fox shop.

The only place I know that sells hard liquor is the B5 mini-mart.

The range is limited and I am not really sure if it's cheap or not.

I'm planning to travel to genting alone for 3d2n. Last went genting was with family around 15+ years ago.

Is the below pricing reasonable?

Coach 2 way: ZCLUB Transtar $99 (Wanted to book solitaire suites for the experience but it's so ex! sg-gent is $73)

Accommodation: First world hotel Standard room $101 for 2 nights

Hotel wise I only know first world.. if anyone got any recommendations- please!

Main purpose is to just chill and relax during my off days. Will be budgeting $150 for the casino for some small gambling as well.

Hoping to keep this trip budget at $500 maximum all in so I would not want to over pay for the coach and hotel.

For coach tickets, you can compare prices here. https://www.busonlineticket.com/

For hotel, First World Hotel is the cheapest. You might want to stay at deluxe room. Standard room does not come with kettle so you have to go to the corridor to collect water.

Since you are not Genting member, compare the price at eg agoda and Genting official website https://book.rwgenting.com/member2/HotelApp/HotelList.aspx? Use the room calendar feature for easy checking of the daily price for the selected whole month.

You can also compare if cheaper to buy room and coach package from Transtar. See if it is worth paying transtar membership to get discount.

Hi Guys,
Need some advise.
Does Genting still giving free first world accommodation upon call in hotline?
I'm intending to go Genting with my family members in July and stay 2N (Thu & Fri).
Last visit for me to Genting is like 7 years ago while my parents visited Genting 2-3 years ago.
