A City that never sleeps @ Genting Highlands

Is a 24 hours business round the clock, 365 days a year. Gambling is a business that never stop in Genting casino. Having their groupier with 3 shifts, customers all day long anytime of the day.

Many can forego their sleeping time just to try winning but as the saying goes "10 gamble 9 lost". This is very true as one tend to be greedy. Winning a small amount is longer consider winning. I have a friend who asked "I have won RM2,500, is this enough if for you?" I replied "yes". And he said "RM2,500 is enough? No, I am targeting RM20,000". So that night he has indeed hit the RM20,000 but loosing it to Genting.

First time walking into VIP room where I witnessed most rooms were full. Do not mistaken that I am owning a platinum card that can access to VIP rooms but somehow through connection, we were allowed to go in.

There was a table where the gamblers were betting RM200,000 per bet. There are indeed lots of wealthy people around but to me that is not a lifestyle that I want.

Some people would like to try their luck in winning some money. Some just love the excitement and no longer about winning or loosing. Some might be addicted to gambling. One person that we met said "The thrill in flipping the card is something that money cannot buy".

Genting has been in business since the first hotel formerly known as Highland and now Theme Park was ready in 1971. And since then it has been growing and expanding.  Now moving towards target of opening its RM1 Billion project, 100,000 square metres 20th Century Fox Outdoor Theme Park in early 2017, a delayed caused by depreciation of Ringgit Malaysia.

Meanwhile, during its transformation, we will have to wait for the magical moment where this place not only an exciting place for locals but will be great to bring in millions of tourists.

What else can you do in Genting Highlands besides Casino? There are plenty, watching movie, shopping, bowling, feel the chill of snow in Snow World, Spa, pub, karaoke, theme park, international artist performance, have coffee and of course eating! Or just do nothing, relax and enjoy the cool air.

Genting Highlands is a place to be proud of as an attraction to many tourists around the world.
