Hi experts,

Haven't been to genting for almost 30 years. Thinking of going in mid July (including KL). Likely will take plane, hubby not keen to drive long distances.

Can I check:

1) which hotel in genting is recommended? Need 2 single beds / twins room.

2) Are the prices in retail malls, FnB same throughout between Genting and KL City (watsons, 7-11, carings, family mart, uniqlo, chain restaurants etc)?

3) is breakfast included in the hotel booking? Can choose not to include?

4) what is the check in / out times? Can request for late check out?

5) if take bus from Kl sentral, does the bus stop at the respective hotel entrance? Or there's a bus terminal?

1) Most people will stay at First World Hotel for cost but most rooms the quality is very basic. If you can afford to splurge it is definitely recommended to stay at other better ones.

2) It depends on where you shop and dine in KL but generally Genting will be more expensive of course.

3) Not included.

4) For First World Hotel, check in is at 3pm, check out at 11am. You will be charged for late check out which is not worth paying for. Just check out on time.

5) Bus will stop at Genting Skyway and you will need to take a cable car up to reach Genting.

2) ok, then I will do my shopping in KL city

Depending on when you book, $100 is definitely not enough for a better hotel like Highlands Hotel or Genting Grand. Assuming two people, the hotels I would look at for that budget would be

Resort Hotel



Genting Skyworlds Hotel

Wahaha bro. I'm mighty impressed by your set-up!
This also probably suggests you do take the time to enjoy your hotel rooms at genting instead of sunko at the tables and slots. Good for you!

The casino play area had shrunk after the closure of Old Casino and new reno at SkyCasino.
There is almost zero chance playing the hot favourite jackpot except after 2am. Not much activities around 4am.
I would rather take a rest, after dinner, inside hotel room, and start my casino run around 11pm, and after midnight all the Rewards and Redeem offers will start appearing at the Kiosk screen.
This week is 3-Bak Chang Dumpling offers at 10TP earning in VIP, and free 1-hr massage at 60TP and 2 x RM50 vouchers at Grand Cha Chan Teng restaurant after gaining some TP in VIP area.

The dumpling is 2 pack redeem per day, I will be waiting for midnight to get another but then open 12pm to 6pm, too late to collect as bus leaving 12pm sharp. The packaging is very good for gift to family members or relatives.
3 dumpling is 2 standard Cantonese/Hokkien Dumpling (each no/with dried shrimps) and 1 Vegan RedBean type

I would be staying at Genting SkyWorlds Hotel. Do I need to bring any modem or router along? Around 15 people would be using WiFi.
Click to expand...

15 people? single router? pitiful speed.. 3Mbps divided by 15.. speed in kbps? back to old 1990s speed per person. Even using 3 MiFi separate devices barely enough for a stable lag-free speed.

First you must understand something about hotspot sharing using Malaysia telco.
Most big names Telco does not support hotspot via non-phone device.
XOX bochup.. good for hotspot device, downside, max 3Mbps.
Maxis Hotlink 6Mpbs only 40/48 plan support hotspot unlimited, downside, max 100GB.
CelcomDigi (12Mbps) you need to buy add-on hotspot 20GB extra ontop of original prepaid plan.
20GB too little, but OpenWRT hack save the day, ignore hotspot data limit, use main data limits (which is unlimited)

U-mobile claimed to have unlimited plan, but insert sim to mifi. it cannot connect to internet.
It is IMEI white-listing. it allow only phones and tablets, not CPE (aka mobile routers).

What are the factors in Telco define as hotspot?
As long it had additional hop before outgoing to internet, they are considered hotspot data,
TTL value increase when it hop to a new connection, by the time the request return back to Telco, they will inspect the hop count.

ISP (64) - phone sim (65) - ISP (66)
ISP (64) - phone1 sim (65) - phone2 connected to phone1 hotspot (66) - phone1 (67) - ISP (68)
ISP (64) - your MiFi router (65) - phone wifi (66) - MiFi router (67) - ISP (68)

Some router with OpenWRT firmware can modify the hop count, to fool telco, as single hop.
(Before returning to ISP, set the TTL to 65, the ISP will get TTL value of 66, and consider it as non-hotspot.)

The term to your DIY research on is TTL (Time to Live), also search iptable mangle postrouting

I am using GL-inet routers which use OpenWRT firmware by default.
