mLife Gold (vs Platinum) at Bellagio
My last stay I was mLife Platinum, via Hyatt. I'm now Gold. Checking in tomorrow on an Amex FHR stay for the weekend.
Couple q's:
- as Gold, can I check in anywhere other than regular front desk lines? I.E. - invited guest? Or should I look for a Gold area? As a Plat I remember there being a shorter line.
- any access as a Gold to VIP check in? I know not Chairman's Lounge, but 2 different things
- as a Plat I was able to get 2 comp passes to Gallery of Fine Arts - any idea if that's available to Gold?
Anything else I should be aware of?
TIA

There should be a separate Gold line at check-in - IIRC it is closer to the front entrance and next to the doorway to the Chairman's Lounge. Don't know if it is just one Gold/Platinum line or separate from Platinum line.
Chairman's Lounge is not a tier benefit - it is for those who have booked Penthouse+ suites and certain non-RFB comps. I believe I've read on here that certain FHR bookings also get access.
AFAIK, BFGA passes are a Plat+ benefit (recently moved to the "Platinum Experience" benefit). There is some discussion in the mlife thread on this forum, but I'm pretty sure Golds don't get this.

Update - just got back - used invited guest line which is the same as gold/plat checkin (combined lines). saved some time from the massive general line
- no access as you mentioned to any lounges for us
- no passes available (checked w/ mlife desk)
