Have the chance to get room. On last Friday night around 730pm still saw 200+ rooms available at FWH lobby screen.
Why does Genting hoard the rooms until last minute? Doesn’t make financial sense. Unless all no shows at the last minute:

Hi guys I am thinking of going for a last min trip this weekend 22-25th. Seems like there’s no hotel at the top.. so I was thinking of going without a hotel booking. If I go there without a hotel booking, are there any chance I can book one on the day? (My back up plan is Awana or take bus down to KL)
Ever thought of sleeping on the chairs like I see so many people do? :LOL:

If it's not a must for u to stay @ the peak (Genting hotels) then other options are aplenty during non-peak season like now. Go to online hotel booking platforms like Agoda etc ..it shud not be difficult to get a room. In fact so many other very good hotels like in the link attached here:

Even if u r not driving, Grab cars are aplenty up there. Enjoy yr trip & good luck! :giggle:

Those nbrs displayed on screen @ lobby are meant for rooms "alrdy booked" and "alrdy cleaned & now ready for check-in" - not meant as available for walk-in booking. No walk-in booking at all Genting hotels.

For booking, it's centralised via reservation center - hv to either call hotline or book via the mobile app. If you failed to book via either way, then still those nbrs is irrelevant to u.

haha i was thinking of this too! or juz stay in casino
U won't survive tat way if it's longer than just 1 night....without proper rest & sleep, winning or losing @ casino is no longer abt luck but also yr mental/physical awareness or rather lack of it. Don't ever try this - it's gonna be a sure-lose visit! With lack of sleep, u will lose concentration as well as self-control!

Yesterday night after half a day farming ringgits at ETG, Getting rest, went back to Tower 3 Y5 Triple hotel room, which facing Highlands Hotel.. I realized the Highlands Hotel rooms windows are not One-Way.. my potato phone optical zoom lousy.. next time i will get a better phone to capture couples hugging near the windows.

Last time 2 years ago before lockdown, there is some guys stand around the corner asking if I want room or charbo. I think you can observe around if you see some guy stand alone at corner asking other around something.

It was quite irritating on weekends, today a security guy was having his guard duty near the escalator, the OKT move operation near the check-in lobby..


For those wishing to visiting outdoor theme park, the past 2-3 days raining with lightning warning sounded out. Some rides stopped.
