While going to Genting FROM KL is easy, finding a Grab down from Genting can be difficult. Drivers rarely want to drive up empty from the city just for a return fare, and cancellation or long wait times are common during peak hours.

Meanwhile, its much easier to get a grab at Genting Premium Outlet.

Get a taxi at the Taxi counter out the hotel lobby at a premium if u want assured ride.

Learn something new. That complimentary room type for gold is based on points earned in VIP. I like the slots machines in non-VIP more. So play there despite cannot redeem free meals. Next time will try.

rm31mil dropped at non vip rm. u just need to win. pts no pts to me dont matter.

Timing is important. Grab down can be hard to get after 4 pm. This is especially for weekday.
It is easy to get around the 10 am to noon window from day trippers going to the casino.
Best place is FWH.

With ard 500 TP, I only qualify for fwh deluxe. Even have to use GP for Y5 deluxe room for weekends. Unlike last year, still have superior and wc rooms. Sigh

Room award is based on GP not TP. After you cross 300 TP for Gold, there is not much use for TP.

This is why unless you have difficulty making that threshold, not much point fighting with people for the double TP members night.

For GP earned, the need to earn in the VIP area only applies if you want to redeem food and other vouchers from the kiosk. These often have conditions for where the GP has to be earned in order to get the voucher.

For room award, they consider your total GP earned regardless of where you earned it from.

Nothing much.

Mainly is the new attraction Eufloria. Right outside the cablecar station (think previously is horse stable ?). Something like our Gardens by the Bay flower dome. Need to buy ticket. So so only.

Have a few shops eg Heng Heng, Yuan Fong.

Genting has a lot of place to eat. But seems Sky Avenue eateries more crowded. I prefer less crowd so usually eat at First World Plaza or Genting complex Lvl 1 small eateries.

Anyone take transtar night coach (10pm or 10.30pm ) from SG to genting?
For toilet breaks, Do they stopover at stops with 24hr minimarts, for example service stops beside petrol stations?
Or stop at places with only toilets only?
