Malaysia Tourist Resort-Genting Highlands

In Malaysia got three places that famous summer resort,which are Genting highlands ,Cameron highlands and Fraser hill.Normally, the most famous can say is Genting Highlands.This because genting it has the only one casino in Malaysia and theme park.

Genting Group (MYX: 3182) is the trading name of Genting Berhad, established in 1964 by Malaysian entrepreneur Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong.The main attraction of the resort is its casino and theme park. It is one of the most popular tourist destination in Malaysia. I am very likes to visit here due to the weather and facilities.

There are two casinos open to the general public, both of which are open 24 hours and are limited to non-Muslims over 21. Table games of choice are roulette, baccarat and Chinese games such as tai sai and pai gow, with poker barely registering. There are also countless slot machines, but many if most require signing up with Genting's WorldCard system if you want to withdraw any winnings. I am not over 21 when i go to genting.So i cannot enter to the casiono to see the condition inside.

For others like:
Arena of Stars, hosts concerts and shows most weekends, but most feature B-grade Chinese pop stars or Western artists well past their prime.
Genting Theme Park, features the first 'flying' roller coaster in Asia, which simulates the experience of flying as you duck and swoop in the air while lying down.

Genting located at an altitude of 1800 meters, temperatures in Genting are a good 5-10°C lower than in Kuala Lumpur, generally staying in the 15-25°C range. The weather almost same with my hometown-cameron highlands. I like the place that weather is cold and not so hot.
