Who doesn't love superlatives? We're crazy for knowing what's the costliest, tallest and more haunted of hotels, nonetheless the simple title of largest hotel goes to First World Hotel Genting in the highlands of Malaysia. As the star attraction of a typical region generally known as Malaysia'a response to Atlantic city and las vegas, First World Hotel boasts a staggering 6,118 rooms, having surpassed the MGM Grand's measly 5,690 in 2006 to have an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Reaching Malaysia's party central is definitely an experience in itself, since you must take the world's longest and fastest cable car, traveling at almost 20 feet per second. That that will not freaky enough, the hotel itself is a kaleidoscope of trippy colors by using a traditional Spanish courtyard at its center.
Of course the creation of First World Hotel has been influenced by Dubai's wacko ideas, including the indoor ski park which First World adapted for themselves being a Winter Wonderland with tobogganing. Visit their 28-lane bowling away, giant replicas of world landmarks, Asia's first free fall simulator, a hang-gliding rollercoaster and their massive casino before retiring on your room at the summit of 1 of two towers looking out onto the mountains and the mania below.
Whenever the hotel isn't sold-out, rates start at $65 and escalate around such important events since the Mtv Asia Awards and filming of Malaysian Idol and Star Idol Malaysia. That significantly makes us wish to go just to say, "dude, I totally just got in from 'Malaysian Idol.'" Oh man, we just had the ideal idea ever just for this place: film yet another sequel to National Lampoon's Family Vacation here. It would be like Lost in Translation on acid; hooray for culture shock!
