While we were still worrying how to locate Ponte 16, I realised there is a woman giving out flyers on Ponte 16 hotel casino. So I went and enquired and realised that the hotel is just straight in front. So happy to find our 1st destination that easily.

As we walked along the street to Ponte 16 Hotel, we came across a convenience stall and I was excited. So, we stopped by and let me stock up on some snacks for tonight. Mummy was fainting from all the snacks we brought. I end up buying 1 whole bag full of chips, chocolates, instant noodles which are consider essentials items for hubs & me. Hehe.

The Michael Jackson Musuem is located at 2nd level of the hotel. You will have to pass through a cafe where a statue of Michael Jackson is located near the entrance. There is an escalator which will leads to the level where many exhibits of Michael Jackson are on display. There is no admission charge and you don't even need to make any purchase at the cafe to get it. Cool!

On the 2nd level, photos, socks, boots, signed albums, hats, bling bling glove are displayed. There are not replicas it seems but I am not sure whether they are donated by MJ before his death or by his family after his death.

It was an eye opener for us since from young we had been listening to his songs. I rememeber that duirng the visit to Genting game arcade, my both brothers got hooked to a game featuring MJ and would sit there all day long to play the game while mummy went to the casino with the other aunties.

Also showcased here are the history of King of Pop and his early years. Though in this later years, he sort of turn into a bit weird, but who can forget the great songs that he sung?

We spend half an hour here looking at the exhibits and photo taking. It was nice to visit in the morning since there is no crowd to speak of. There is also a gift shop on this level selling MJ merchandises. We brought a few items here and left the hotel.
I think there is a casino here based on the brochure we recevied earlier but didn't bother to go check it out. Hehe. Next stop, Ruins of St Paul.
