Creator's Key Takeaways

Pop Century is probably my best recommendation if you're doing a solo trip. This is the resort I always recommend staying at.

A VIP tour is not something everyone can do. I'm very lucky to be in this position to actually try it out.

It was actually $4,000. Oh, which is still an obscene amount of money. Don't get me wrong. However, given the experience that we had, yes, they really did give you the VIP experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a preferred room at Pop Century for a shorter walk.

✓Use the Heathrow time slot trick to skip security lines.

✓Bring an essentials kit with earplugs, medicine, and other travel items.

✓Check for walk-up dining reservations, especially on rainy days.

✓Request a higher floor or corner room at Pop Century to reduce noise.
