In his autobiography, ‘My Story', Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong recounted the story of an arduous journey he took with engineers and surveyors in 1963 to map the topography of the area now home to Resorts World Genting, the flagship highland resort of the Genting Group. Comparing Brickell City Centre to Genting's proposed resort is a straw-man argument. A retail mall is not a casino resort. The fact that they both have dining components does not make the same. Firstly and most obviously, a mall is not a resort. Tourists don't come and live in a mall. Genting, which owns the former Omni mall across the street, has sought to build a vast gambling resort on the old Miami Herald site it also owns. Construction of the temporary station was to have begun in December 2018 and was estimated to take about six months.
THE GENTING STORY
It all began in 1965 with Genting Highlands Resort on the lush, tropical highlands of Malaysia. Our ambitious founder, the late Tan Sri (Dr.) Lim Goh Tong, transformed 10,000 acres of dense, impenetrable forest, 6,000 feet above sea level, into the largest resort in the world.
Today, this magnificent resort is called Resorts World Genting and is one of Malaysia's most popular tourist destinations, attracting almost 20 million visitors a year.
HOSPITALITY ON A GRAND SCALE
Black jack ultra roof 1000 white siliconized elastomeric roof coating. You can choose from the resort's five hotels, offering around 10,000 rooms in total. They include Maxims Hotel, Genting Grand, Resort Hotel, Awana and First World Hotel – one of the world's largest hotels with 6,118 rooms.
There's also a stunning casino, an 18-hole golf course, more than 200 dining and retail outlets, mega shows, business convention facilities and endless entertainment. All at this one resort, where the longest cable car system in Southeast Asia, spanning 3.38 km, whisks you to its breath taking hilltop location. In 2017 the world's first Fox Studios theme park will open in Genting Highlands.
This highly acclaimed resort was just the beginning, however. Genting Malaysia has two other beautiful seaside properties, known as Awana Hotels & Resorts, and Genting's gaming, leisure and hospitality business has grown across the world.

Genting now has several Resorts Worlds. These include Resorts World Manila in the Philippines, Resorts World Bimini in the Bahamas, Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, Resorts World New York with Resorts World Las Vegas due to open in 2017.
In late summer 2016 we shall be opening Crockfords Cairo in the heart of the Egyptian capital.
ELEGANT CRUISES
We've also made our mark on the cruise industry. Genting owns the Crystal Cruises, and Star Cruises operating in Asia, North America and the Caribbean.
CLUBS AND CASINOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
In the 1990s, we spread our wings even further, establishing ourselves as a global multinational with interests ranging from plantations to property, biotechnology, power generation, and oil and gas. Although leisure and hospitality remain our core business.
Today, the Genting Group, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, has five public-listed companies on the Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia stock exchanges.
We've come a long way since Tan Sri (Dr.) Lim Goh Tong began this colossal journey in the highlands of Malaysia!

The Genting Poker Series is gearing up for the ninth edition of the tour and it is one of the busiest yet with 16 stop confirmed for the 2020 GPS.
Twelve of the 16 scheduled GPS Main Events only cost £225 to enter yet feature a £35,000 guaranteed prize pool. These events tend to perform well and surpass their guarantees. For example, last year's Reading leg saw Patrick Phelan top a field of 284 to bank £10,595 for his £225 investment.
Likewise, David Leyland walked away with £14,000 after a three-handed deal, in the Liverpool Queen Square leg.
The £500 buy-in £100,000 guaranteed GPS events are also popular, although fans of the tour will be disappointed to learn there are only four such events this year.
Luton hosts the first of this quartet of tournaments, with Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Resorts World Birmingham also scheduled to host a £100,000 guaranteed event.
Top prizes in the £500 GPS Main Events tend to be around the £30,000 mark. Yiannis Liperis banked £31,830 when he won the Resorts World Birmingham leg last year.
All players in GentingBet Poker Series Main Events go into a prize draw where one lucky punter will win a dream holiday worth £10,000.

Kevin Proctor, Poker Operations Manager for Genting UK, said: 'The GentingBet Poker Series continues to go from strength to strength with thousands of poker players, new and old, taking part in our Main and Mini events all over the country. We committed to providing our customers with the very best in casino experience and we are excited to announce the addition of the Super 80 to our series of events.
'The year we are returning to the South West of England with our events in Plymouth and Torquay. This area of the UK has been without a major poker event for too long and it is great to be able to return.'
GPS Started Back in 2012
Genting Poker Series started life in 2012 and quickly lost its tag of the newcomer to become a popular addition to the British live poker schedule.
Ruslan Vlasov became the inaugural GPS champion when he outlasted 364-opponents at Genting Club Star City, Birmingham. Vlasov netted £18,200 after a five-way deal involving Neil Ryder, David L'Honore, Yucel 'Mad Turk' Eminoglou and Don Jones.
The tour appeared to be going from strength-to-strength and Genting began adding some larger buy-in events to the schedule.
Elliott Panyi won the first of these, a £1,600 Main Event at the now-defunct Fox Poker Club in London for £66,900. Richard Milner secured £40,086 from the £880 GPS Grand Final in Sheffield in 2013, with Mark Evans winning £54,060 the following year.
2015 saw a change in tactics from Genting who added a lower buy-in 'Mini' Main Event to some legs. We spoke to Genting back then and they said they wanted to inject some fun back into poker.
By the following year, these £225 Mini legs dominated the schedule, probably because Genting decided to pull its online poker offering on the iPoker Network. This meant no online satellites or online Day 1s and, therefore, reduced numbers all round.
Low Buy-in Market is Saturated
The problem with hosting so many £225 buy-in tournaments is this market is saturated in the UK at the moment. The 2020 GPS has 12 of these events while Grosvenor has almost 40 of its popular 25/25 Series events scheduled throughout 2020.
It feels like there is a market for a mid-stakes poker tour. The PokerStars UKIPT would be perfect right now or the resurrection of the DTD Deepstacks and DTD500 events.
