Just wanna share my genting experience from last weekend.

Booked Crockfords room for Fri-Mon, about S$500 per night, also got the hotel to book the private pickup (Toyota Alphard) from KLIA to Crockfords (S$300 1 way).

Hotel room deco is modern, but has 2 cons:
1. Room AC temp fluctuates in the middle of the night, so is the shower temp.
2. Was given a room on 4th floor, and the long walk from lift to room can be tiring.

Hotel provides ala-carte buffet breakfast, and free dinner for each night at the FuHu restaurant, on the 3rd floor.

Hotel Club lounge is next to Fuhu restaurant. It also grants me access to their own tiny casino, which also connects to the platinum members area.

At the Corckfords casino area, I played ETG and bets on both Banker/Player. Each bet RM200/200 and was rewarded 0,40 Genting Points every game. Hence I gotten the promotion from Silver to Gold in 2 days time. Approximately 2x8 hours. Down-side is that if the bet was won by Banker on 6 points, then my bet on Banker only pays Rm100 which is half. I noted that out of 60 games, at least 5 or 6 times this will happen :(

With 391 Genting dollars, I buy myself a good chinese seafood dinner and a pack of Marlboro. Balance 190+ GD I keep as reserve in case going up again.

It seems not worth it to pay so much for a Crockfords stay to go up there and bet Banker/Player for 8 hours over 2 days just to get a gold card.

I was there in November. Yes, for Silver Members and below... you will need to make an appointment. Not long at all. Just about 2.5 to 3 hours wait.

For Gold Members and above... just proceed up to level 2 in the SkyAvenue Casino, locate the counter beside the escalators before going up to the Platinum & Gold Members area, & you should be able to renew your Membership Card within 20 minutes.

As for the temp card, we do not have the luxury then. Look on the brighter side, at least you get to play while waiting. My old folks had to go window shopping to kill time. Cheers.
Thanks for the heads up pal, appreciate it shifu

Hi bosses, just want to ask for the VIP casino at lvl 3, are there any pontoon tables that are opened for gambling?

Those that went recently can let me know? And what is their min bet - RM200? Thanks!

Was wondering why booked Crockford, no staff approach you for instant Gold membership upgrade?
No need slug it out at the casino..
Probably need to show the silver card and Crockford keycard openly while loitering endlessly at the hotel lobby. LOL~

Fastest way is shamelessly request for it.. citing CSB from hearsays (below):

The color of your card has very little bearing on room award. Room award comps are based on your play per day.

On getting a platinum card, fastest way is to go the VIP area and have a pit boss rate your play. If they see you hitting in size, they will make a recommendation for an upgrade that over rides the various published rules.
