Anywhere to earn MLife points in Reno/Tahoe?
I am heading to Reno/Tahoe next month and was wondering if there are any casinos there where I can earn MLife points? I don't think there is, but just wanted to check and confirm. Am I correct in my assumption?

I received MLife Platinum from the Hyatt match. Does anyone have an updated report on which nighclubs/dayclubs have a VIP access line for MLife Gold+ since many of these are run by 3rd parties? Just wondering if this is actually done in practice, esp on Fri/Sat.
Also do all MGM properties offer a priority taxi line?

Hey guys, i just earned Mlife GOLD via my last stay/gambling action over my last stay 85k points, (1k loss at tables recorded), is it worth trying to get the 115k extra points (will prob stay in vegas a few more times this year and gamble) to get to platinum?
I've also recently gotten diamond status at total rewards through founders card, would that be a more worthwhile option (although im not a huge fan of their properties), but suite comps/and an atlantic city location would make it more justifiable to gamble there.

One of the best parts of MGM Plat, IMO, is the next-up taxi/valet service during peak times. Comps and freebies you'll get with enough gaming regardless of your tier (though the two are obviously corellated).

And, rec'd my Hyatt monthly statement this morning-no stay credited to Hyatt even though both the MLife & Hyatt#'s were on the reservation (clerk checking me in confirmed). Anyone know how long that's supposed to take to show up? It's only 1 night but still...would like to get something good out of that hotel!

Stayed @ the Monte Carlo 3 weeks ago for 1 night for a mtg & 'worn' is not the word I would use for my room-borderline dump would probably be closer!

Lead time for Mlife discount room offers
Anyone have a sense how far in advance Mlife offers room discounts (and, potentially, property credits) for Mlife, say, Platinums? I have been enjoying these discounts and can see them through end of year (2014), but nothing in January (yet?)

The special offers are usually seasonal/quarterly, so may need to wait a few weeks for the 1Q 2015 offers to get loaded.

+1 - They usually post the next season's offers a week or so into the previous. I was booking a trip last May (maybe June?) and didn't get the offers until March or so, IIRC.

How do you go about getting the comp'd tickets for Shark Reef or Secret Garden? Do you just go to the attraction entrance? And what's the limit on # of guests besides the Plat/Noir member? Thanks!

As a Plat, I believe you are officially able to get three tickets (you + 2 others). However at Shark Reef I showed up once with my wife plus another couple and politely asked if it would be possible to get 4 tickets. The guy said no problem and printed them out. FWIW, Shark Reef was not busy at all that day.
