Deep in the mountains of Malaysia sits the First World Hotel, a garishly painted monstrosity that holds the Guinness World Record for the largest hotel on earth with an astonishing 7,351 rooms. The massive complex is attached to a sprawling casino and an indoor theme park, creating a dizzying neon labyrinth designed specifically to disorient guests so they forget what time it is and keep gambling. Despite its grandiose name, the standard rooms are famously tiny, windowless shoeboxes that offer all the luxurious ambiance of a highly decorated prison cell. It is the perfect holiday destination for tourists who love overwhelming crowds, aggressively bright colors, and the existential dread of wandering through miles of identical carpeted hallways just to find your aggressively mediocre bed for the night
