There used to have fish tank and wheel of fortune right?

if u enter from new entrance/lifestyle casino, its directly beside only. turn left when enter then walk towards the live band/drinking place. entrance is behind that circle area only.

Not sure if its common, a non-chio mid-age lady sit next to you, keep praising ur good bet, and when u left the game, keep following you around, to the ATM, to the kiosk, even followed me from Genting Casino to Genting Grand lobby.
All the while there were no convo, abit pissed off, I told the counter staff the lady keep following me around, they get the security staff, the lady siam-ed and use the F word before leaving the lobby.

i think i encounter this xiao charbor in casino before in lvl 3, a bit plump scold people.

it's a bit scary to see many massive developments taking place near & around genting highlands. i wonder proper ground studies had taken place before permits are given to bulld such high sky scrapers. one ground shake i dont know whats going to happen. some buldings look like being supported by 'stilts' only!

 

[hwarzoner]

nice development anyone buying the properties there?

[Hello^]

Just came back from my trip!

Seems like the old Z-club bus now replaced to Superstar Z bus. Up genting was one way no bus change needed. Chair quite hard compared to the old bus but lucky got bring cushion for back. The massage mode much better than the old one. Surprisingly this time heading up only one toilet break, seat until knee stiff but reach genting earlier. Also not sure if its driver problem as this time uphill felt super giddy almost puke had to standby plastic bag.

Coming back was Malaysia plate had to change to 40 seater bus at Malaysia checkpoint. Bus transfer was already there when arrived so no delays. But can understand why some may dislike as now need to bring all barang barang down at Malaysia checkpoint and need to wait for other people from other Superstar Z. Last time always only see one Zclub and one Solitare bus. This time saw 4 Superstar Z and 2 Solitare heading back at same time .

Genting wise just realised the checkin kiosk sometimes doesn't allow you to choose non smoking/smoking room. I had 2 different bookings first day the option to choose appeared. But not sure why on second booking no option came up instead it jumped to tax payment immediately and assign key . Luckily it gave non smoking room. Not sure if its due to limited rooms so they don't allow to choose or they already had my record previously.

This trip also encountered afew weired stuff.

I took queue number in fwh to checkin my backpack as no rooms yet. Then got this auntie approached me and ask me if want to swap with her queue number which is a earlier number. I said don't need but she turn aggressive and keep pester ask why don't want la etc. I just walked off and ignore.

Also on 2nd night while having dinner got a random lady gave me her cup of tea for free. She said it was her treat. Anyway I just leave it don't dare drink scared tio gong tao .

Happened to drop by the sales gallery of Genting XinTianDi 新天地~ it's a massive development plus the future township~

It's located at mid-hill of Genting Highlands, the residences blocks are completing soon~

opposite the site is Vista Residence, which I stayed before~ the only petrol station at mid-hill Petron is beside it~

the scale model, there's more than 10 storey of mscp with speed ramp~

The future township development with indoor stadium, probably it would take another decade~

new development hope can become little geylang up there

haha

Went to Hardrock in our previous trip. Took a taxi from FWH taxi stand (in front of Starbucks). Prices were RM$30 and RM$60 for a normal and 6/7 seaters respectively. Journey is not smooth. Road was uneven. Quite ulu too. Yes, as mentioned by deepblue, the journey took us approx 10 mins or less. We called for another taxi back to the hotel (via the FWH taxi stand) when we were done too.

* As mentioned in my previous post, do note that Hardrock had already cancelled their Fridays to Sundays Breakfast Buffet.

Well noted with thanks, was thinking whether it was feasible by walking. I guess not, thank you for sharing.
