Hi pple, may i ask is there a shortcut from First World Hotel to Resort Hotel B5?
i saw in older threads pple mentioned it's about 15min walk (indoor linkway),
and someone else mentioned First World Hotel to Arena of Stars also about 15min walk (saying Resort Hotel is v near to Arena of Stars),
but i know the shortcut from FWH to Arena of Stars (go out from FWM main entrance and walk by the roadside across, within few min can reach Arena of Stars),
so is this shortcut gonna lead me to Resort Hotel faster?
Thanks alot.

ya it does. fwh to arena to b5 to resort

I need to go to Resort Hotel Basement 5 to take coach back to SG. it's my first time.
So i use the shortcut from FWH to Arena of Stars, then from there to Resort Hotel B5 is faster?

for 2 pax maybe 500RM for food and misc expenses?
Shopping and restaurants can swipe credit card

Take SG cash in case you want to play casino


Try the VR Star Wars game. Super awesome

Allow one day at the Premium Outlets


Miss that place already

Just walk in aircon and eventually you be lead to b5. easier way is go all the way to highest level from sky avenue walk across to the other end then come down all the way. b5 food no good one.

It would really depends on your budget for food and are you going to the amusement park and do shopping? For food, just take it as about SG price - 10-15%.

Anthing from RM 750 onwards for 2pax for 3D2N should be quite comfortable for casual dining / trip to amusement park / light to no shopping IMO.

Most shops accept credit cards.

*Note: Would advise to bring extra SG dollars just incase.

I usually go this way :

Tower 2 take lift to lvl 8 or Tower 1 take lift to lvl 3. Look for food factory which is the place for buffet breakfast. It is near the group check-in. There is key kiosk there so can drop the keys. From there follow the signs to Sky Avenue. You will end up at lvl 4 of Sky Avenue near the Jurassic Centre. From lvl 4 look for signs to Resort Hotel or Genting complex. Lvl 4 need to walk one part in the open and the floor is not easy for rolling hard luggage. So I usually prefer to take lift or escalator down to lvl 3 then walk. Once walk to the end take escalator up and up. Come out from KFC and McDonald's. Then follow sign to Resorts Hotel.

I prefer this way than to go to Lvl 1 of Sky Avenue which is crowded.

Given it is your first time, you might find the following Genting Youtube series useful

If with gf, RM 750 confirm not enough. The average price of a main per person is RM 20 to RM 30.

And this is eating at the very basic places (e.g. in the casino, Macs, Mary Brown, KFC).

If you want to eat at nicer places (e.g. Coffee Terrace buffet, Beauty in the Pot), you will end up spending much more.

I would bring RM 1500 to RM 2000 for 3D2N stay.

A brokerage is lifting a 10-percent discount it had ascribed to the target price of shares in casino operator Genting Malaysia Bhd.

Maybank Investment Bank Bhd said the move was on the basis that the outdoor theme park at the casino firm’s Resorts World Genting complex outside Kuala Lumpur “could be opening… a lot earlier than we expected”.

That could possibly mean a first-quarter 2020 launch, on the basis that the casino group had recently been recruiting for its theme park division, and had previously mentioned a lead time of six to nine months between hiring staff and opening the facility.

Never trust brokerage reports.

They are the best DJs in the world. Able to put a spin to anything substantial or mundane for their own objectives.

If the writer of the report has visited RWG (and I doubt), he would know that half the indoor theme park is still not opened.

So its more logical to conclude that the ramp-up in recruitment is for the unopened indoor theme park attractions, rather than for the opening of the outdoor theme park.

From my physical observation early this month and compared to my previous visit in Feb, I see no significant progress in the theme park. Yes. Most of the structures appear to be up and but you can hardly see any activities going on in the construction zone.

You would expect a buzz of activities for a theme park preparing to launch in 6-9 months.

Spot on, bro! If these corporate mercenaries can be trusted, everyone will be rich just by investing according to their recommendations.
