Went to the MLife Rewards desk and while it took 15 minutes, they successfully merged the two accounts. The woman also informed me I had $10 free slot dollars that I wasn't aware of. So I think whichever account you pick, you'll retain any and all comps/offers between your Vegas and Borgata accounts.
FYI, I don't think the rewards desk is open 24 hours though. I got there after 6 PM so I think if you get there by 7 PM you should be fine.
I went a few weeks back and had the opposite experience. I had Gold MLife which was from the Hyatt match but had also built credits up on from previous Vegas trips. Got a new Gold card from the Borgata black changeover. I wanted to merge the Borgata onto and keep my original MLife #. Was told by an agent that they did it but it "wouldn't fully merge until August or September". She also told me that for now they would add my match plays and a few other comp items I had to my Vegas #. I walked away and found a machine to print my match plays and nothing was there. Went back to the booth and the line was ridiculous so I didn't bother. Went to play at the tables and was told I needed to use my new Borgata MLife card. I still get emails with offers from Vegas on one number and Borgata offers on the other. I guess I will try again in September but my hopes at merging isn't very high.
