MLife: Less is More???

#1

Like many of you, I was automatically upgraded to Platinum even though I don't feel as though I play that much at MGM properties -- as compared with Caesars/Harrah's. However, I see no particular benefits -- and have received no "official" mailing notifying me of this, nor have I received a list of "benefits". They make a big deal about comping yourself and knowing what your comp dollars and tier points are, but that's just "standard" with most player's clubs these days. I always hated the MGM procedure of "Just charge everything to your room and we'll evaluate your play at the end of your stay." MGM properties don't even have anything similar to Caesars Diamond Clubs -- not that they're anything special in Las Vegas, but at least you can get a free snack and a couple of cocktails. I haven't made a trip to Vegas yet under the new system, but I'll be curious how I'm treated -- or treated differently from the past.

We just got home from a stay at M'Bay, and there were signs promoting the players' club everywhere but they weren't really set up to give priority access to anything to higher tier members.

As an example there's a sign with Gold and Platinum cards at the buffet suggesting that they get a line pass, but when we went there for breakfast our last day we walked up to the hostess station and were just led back to the front of the line at the cashier.

There were no special lines for higher tier members at registration, which judging from the crowds I saw one day when a big group checked out would definitely be desirable on a busy day.

I too was surprised how easy it was to get to an "elite" tier. They mailed me a gold card when they rolled the club out in Vegas and bumped me to Platinum after my first afternoon losing money in Luxor's high limit room (which isn't that high limit).

They also made me platinum. I don't play there often, but Bellagio has been sending me great offers. They comp a suite, give me free food, including room service and wet bar, as well as a $200 free play. Love the wet bar, there is always great things in it. The last time we were there we emptied the wet bar at least once a day, and when we would go to eat, there were usually 4-6 of us. I was surprised that they didn't charge me anythiing. But they won't give me free movies. I also get tickets to any of their shows comped, as well as offers for their star performers.

I like playing at Bellagio, but not any of their other properties. They have a good selection of VP and I usually hit a few jackpots.

I am 7* at Caesars and though they give me free food, a diamond lounge that is almost useless, free rooms, and free entertainment, with as much as I play there as compared to Bellagio, I wonder what I'd get at Bellagio if I played there as mujch.

Just a thought....

Just curious, but what is your daily coin-in at Bellagio to get that type treatment, particularly since you don't play ther ofter?

I have been a big player at mgm in the past 3 years and I still haven't been contacted with mailings etc. from this new club.
