Hi,
The best thing would be to go to K.L.Sentral station and buy a package ticket.This ticket is sold at K.L.Sentral at a counter to which anyone would guide you,once you reach the station.This is cheaper than the tickets sold by travel agents and tour operators.This ticket entitles you for
1.a bus/cable car ride to Genting(depending on which you buy)The cable is better.you could take it one way or return(in your case return would be better,since you plan on coming back the same day)You also have the option of one way cable and other way back by bus.
2.basic rides are free.
You will have to pay extra for the other exciting rides or to enter the casino or night club.
Food is a bit expensive there and not much vegetarian options.there are however many burger joints and other fast food places in plenty.
You can find out the time of the return bus(there are many,but chose a specified time,to avoid confusion) and get back to the base bus station.
Genting is great fun especially if you are going with kids.
Have a look at my k.l. pages.
Hope this helps,
Vpas
