A Megaresort is a type of destination resort which is of an exceptionally large size, sometimes featuring large-scale attractions (casino, golf course, theme park, multiple accommodations). The hotels along the Las Vegas Strip are most typically thought of as megaresorts owing to their immense size and complexity.
Las Vegas hotels
Two projects in Las Vegas in 1969 and by architect Martin Stern, Jr. and entrepreneur Kirk Kerkorian, the International Hotel (later the Las Vegas Hilton) and the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (later Bally's Las Vegas), set the standard for such casino resorts. After the International and the MGM Grand, the first megaresort is generally considered to have been The Mirage given its size and emphasis on non-gaming entertainment options like shopping and fine dining to draw in customers. Megaresorts use the same fantastic or mythical theme (medieval life at Excalibur, tropical at The Mirage, famous cities, etc.) throughout their properties.

Many megaresorts have a large theme park as its centerpiece. Resorts such as the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts feature multiple hotels, multiple theme parks, a shopping complex and other features. Other megaresorts exist with no specific centerpiece, having many features that are considered prominent, such as Atlantis Paradise Island and it's upcoming sister park in Dubai.
At Genting Highlands Resort, it is considered a megaresort due to its large size and number of amenities. It is located on Pahang hill facing Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The resort consists of five hotels, named Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Resort Hotel, Theme Park Hotel and the First World Hotel. The First World Hotel is currently the world's largest hotel with 6118 rooms with an indoor theme park. The resort contains two casinos, a large outdoor theme park, hostels and an apartments building. Over forty years of success have transformed this lone hill to one of the leading casino resorts in the world, commonly known as the Las Vegas of Malaysia.
The Famosa Resort located at the historical state of Malacca, Malaysia is a complex developed from turning empty land into a giant tourist attraction. The resort includes a water theme park, safari, "cowboy town", hotels and bungalows.
