Understand

A self-proclaimed City of Entertainment, Genting is as close to Las Vegas as it gets in Malaysia — which isn't actually all that close. The primary draw is that Genting is the only place where you can gamble legally in Malaysia, but there's also a theme park to keep the kids amused. As a plus, being located up in the highlands means it's cooler than the steamy lowlands.

Get in

Genting Highlands is 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur on the Karak Highway There are frequent buses from Puduraya bus terminal and KL Sentral train station (RM7.30-7.50), including a ride on the Skyway gondola. For details, check Genting Getting There, 1 (http://www.genting.com.my/en/eg/g_there/index.htm).

See & Do

• Casino de Genting, 2 (http://www.genting.com.my/en/casino/). The only legal casino in all Malaysia, offering all the usual games plus a selection of Chinese favorites. Open 24 hours daily, but you must be at least 21 and not a Muslim. A dress code also applies, prohibiting T-shirts, shorts and sandals.

• Genting Theme Park, 3 (http://www.genting.com.my/en/themepark/outdoor/).

Buy

• First World Plaza, in First World Hotel, 4 (http://www.genting.com.my/en/retailers/firstworld/). Malaysia's self-proclaimed highest shopping mall, divided into six kitchy themed zones from Malaysia to Switzerland and with an indoor theme park to boot.

Eat

Local as well as western cuisine and fast food. A wide variety is available but prices tend to be somewhat higher than even major cities like Kuala Lumpur. Most are 'halal' to cater for the large number of muslim visitors and natives.

Drink

Sleep

With 5000 rooms to choose from, there are usually plenty of beds at Genting. However, demand is highly seasonal and the hotels fill up fast in November and December, when additional surcharges may also be levied.

• First World Hotel, 5 (http://www.genting.com.my/en/accommodation/firstworld_hotel/). This three-star monolith claims to be no less than the biggest in the entire world, with 6300 rooms planned — but "only" 3300 currently open. Rack rates from RM240 for two.
