Who doesn't love superlatives? We're crazy for knowing what's the most expensive, tallest and the majority of haunted of hotels, but the simple title of largest hotel goes to First World Hotel Genting within the highlands of Malaysia. As the star attraction of many region generally known as Malaysia'a response to Las Vegas, First World Hotel boasts a staggering 6,118 rooms, having surpassed the MGM Grand's measly 5,690 in 2006 for an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Reaching Malaysia's party central is undoubtedly an experience with itself, since you must take the world's longest and fastest cable car, traveling at almost 20 feet per second. As if that isn't freaky enough, the lodge itself is really a kaleidoscope of trippy colors with a traditional Spanish courtyard at its center.
Of course causing First World Hotel has long been influenced by Dubai's wacko ideas, that include indoor ski park which First World adapted for themselves as 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 in your room at the very top of 1 of two towers searching onto the mountains and the mania below.
When the hotel isn't sold-out, rates start at $65 and escalate around such important events when the Mtv Asia Awards and filming of Malaysian Idol and Star Idol Malaysia. That significantly makes us wish to go so that it will say, "dude, I totally just got here from 'Malaysian Idol.'" Oh man, we just had the best idea ever because of this place: film yet another sequel to National Lampoon's Family Vacation here. It could be like Lost in Translation on acid; hooray for culture shock!
