First World Plaza

Inside First World Plaza.

First World Plaza is a shopping centre located below First World Hotel, the biggest hotel in Genting Highlands, Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia. It comprises the hotel lobby for First World Hotel.

It consists of shops, restaurants, an indoor theme park, a cineplex, a Starworld casino, Bowling center, Genting International Convention Center, Haunted Adventure and a Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum. Entertainment-related performances such as dances, acrobatic shows and magical shows are held in an area called Times Square.

The Watersplash pool (a warm indoor swimming pool made for mostly young children), and many other restaurants were closed to facilitate the construction of the Twentieth Century Fox World. A Casino was also built on the location of the previous "The Pavilion" which was a concert venue for entertainment-related performances.

In January 2013, Singapore-based retailer Tangs opened its fourth outlet in Malaysia, on the second floor of First World Plaza.

Along with First World Hotel, First World Plaza is managed by First World Hotels and Resorts Sdn Bhd, one of the companies operating in Genting Highlands Resort.
