Thanks to Kevin bro on the TnG top up of e-cash to member account. A breeze for the process. Just that daily top up limit is RM4k.

707 under great excursion travel the best, can see the star rating. It's 4.8 star. Don't choose wrong one. Got one 707 is under Express Executive Gold. That one not so good. Choose the one that is under 707 Great Excursion Travel. You will feel more comfy thru out the coach journey. I think will feel better then wts.
Sorry, feel a bit blur here. Which location to chose is nearer to resort hotel? Or all location is same and alight at the bus interchange beside fwh?

WTS pick up in Yishun. I just took. But cannot book online. Need to go to their outlets to book.

Took night coach. Pickup at 9pm at Yishun MRT taxi stand. They arrived early at 8.50pm. Went on to CCK to pick more people. Crossed Malaysia Tuas custom at 10.25pm. Only did 2 toilet stop - one at petrol station, one at base before climbing mountain. Did not stop for food at all. Driver did not speed. Very steady. Reach Genting terminal at 3.13am.
What do you do after you arrived at 3am? Can you check in at 3am?

All coach from yishun alight at genting bus interchange near fwh. Then either you take grab to resort hotel from fwh lobby, or take free shuttle van. If you go in morning, there's free shuttle van to resort hotel, but is 1hr 1 van, it's not 24hrs. Alternatively you can take free shuttle van towards highland hotel, it's 24hrs and 5 - 10 mins will have van pick up, then after drop off at highland then walk over to resort hotel. Both van is just outside fwh Starbucks. Left queue is resort hotel, right queue is towards highland hotel.

The last time I reached 3am, put bag at hotel baggage counter, then go casino already. Regret doing that, as need wait til morning then can check in. But you can book one day early room, then call to inform you will late check in at 3am so they will take noted and won't charged you for no show. Definitely must call few days in advance let them know.

I booked checkin earlier 1 day so that I have a room upon arrival.

But problem is the checkin kiosks were not opened. Need to stand in Q at counter to checkin. Long Q and Only 4 counters were opened and each person take quite long. Start to Q at 3.13am. Only got the keys at 5am. This happened on Fri wee morning.

Pardon my ignorance and mountain tortoise mode, is it very far to walk thats why shuttle service is available? Resort hotel is nearer the old arcade?

If kenepa is still strong, should walk from the bus terminal to resort hotel.
That the best way to explore Genting.
Slowly walk should need around 15 to 20 minutes.

Not so far. If leg is weak then better take transport. The hotel nearer to arcade is Genting Grand hotel.
Resort hotel is near to the old fish tank casino.
Last time from FWH walk to Resort hotel, walk through the Xin Guang Da Tao.

With 4 counter open, still need near 2 hour to get the key? That very long waiting time. Wonder why those people in front of you need so much time.

It is "not why those people in front of him needed so much time", it is why must the receptionists work so efficiently when working faster means doing more! Unless the receptionists are incentivize based on the number of guests they served (be it money or time off), they will likely take their own sweet time, as their working hours is fixed. Just my thoughts. Cheers.

Youtrip also got the 1% charge to transfer to tng, which is more economical than withdrawal charge from atm of 2% for Youtrip if exceed the monthly free withdrawal amount of $400.

1% is normal to me. If I use debit card or credit card to transfer TnG, the charge not only 1%, still got plus bank charge somemore, which is extremely not worth it.

There's no other surcharge to transfer from Youtrip to tng from what I observed though.

Ya. Nearer to old casino. The casino nearer to resort hotel will be at casino located at highland hotel. For what I realised, if long time never go genting to play slot game, usually is win, but if you stay too long, then will eat back all the winning already. My mum first time went, put in 300 rm, then cash out 600 rm. She keep on changing machine til total won 3k rm then stop gaming. Only for the first day. 2nd day onwards, she place 500rm, then loss the 500rm she stop already. Same goes to my first time after long time never go also won 2k rm when putting in 300rm. Maybe beginners lucks.
