yeah...don't think they really advertise it. Either there was a sign when I checked in or the guy at the desk told me.

3 choices:
Mid-Valley Mall
KLCC
KL Sentral

But it only starts at 9am? Not sure. Better to book well before you know if you have to be somewhere at a certain time. Did use it to the Mid-Valley Mall. Wanted KL Sentral on another day (Requested at last minute more/less)...but would have had to wait 45 minutes+, and that wasn't an option, so I just took the metro.

Next time - if there is a next time, I would go to KLCC surely...last time there ~20 years ago. When the Petronas Towers were in their prime heyday of being the tallest/2nd tallest. And not long after they were featured in Entrapment - maybe I'll rewatch that!

Still impressive I imagine, but no crowning glory...and so many other taller buildings now - so psychologically speaking maybe not impressive (Not in top 20 anymore) - but I think they still look among the best, if not the best.-- though the Taipei 101 looks good too. All the others are more plain jane to my eye. FWIW - I've been to Burj Khalifa, but not any of the others in the top 20 now, except for Taipei 101.
