FIRST WORLD HOTEL - One of the biggest hotels in the world when it comes to the available hotels rooms. First World Hotel has a whopping 6118 rooms. The main reception area resembles a small airport departure hall. People are checked in their rooms very efficient. First you get in the small line for a tickets. The tickets states which line you need to keep an eye to check in. Hotel prizes are very affordable at Genting Highlands. This means it is not that expensive to upgrade your room. We upgraded ours to a suite; the World Club Room for only a few ringgits extra. Because of this we were allowed to use the Club Rooms express ( premium ) check-in lane; which meant that we were in our hotel room in less than 10 minutes while regular guests had to wait for ages.
