Genting Highland Resorts

Genting Highland Holiday is where excitement is at its Peak.
How aptly put, this tagline by Genting Highland is truly reflection of what one will get while holidaying in the Genting Highland Resort.

It is sometimes informally known as the Las Vegas of Malaysia, dubbed the "City of Entertainment" as it is the only legal land-based casino in Malaysia, run by Resorts World Bhd, a sub-company of Genting Group. The resort, Genting Highlands Resort, also features many hotels owned by Genting subsidiaries including Awana Genting, First World Hotel, Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Resort Hotel and Theme Park Hotel. Facilities in this resort include two theme parks, a Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, a wind-turbine sky diving simulator, golf courses and shopping malls.

Genting Highland Resort

Recently, I went up to stay a couple of nights over the weekend. The Genting Highland Resorts have developed and advanced so much that it truly has everything to meet the taste of everyone, the old , young and the kids. The in-door games as well as the outdoor theme park, rides are those that rank in par with the world's best. Come when there is holdiay or festival season, the highland holiday resorts is packed all the way from the ride from downhill until you reach the top.

The resort is extremely big, but the crowd is equally swarming, and that one has to queue and rush for everything, the food, the rides and machine games.

Pack into the casino, the casino is really big, that span across a wide area and down elevators.

If you are in Malaysia, you must set aside some time to visit this highland resort. Try to avoid the festival season, that is when there are local public holiday for festival season. My advice is to avoid the clash, come on different day and enjoy the weather, the hotel, the food and the excitement.

Genting Highlands enjoys a spring-like climate, with temperatures no higher than 25°C and rarely falling below 14°C yearly. The temperature in Genting Highlands ranges from 16°C to 24°C all year round.

For me, it truly meets its tagline, where Excitement is at its Peak.
