The ability to charge MO venue purchases to rooms at other MGM Resorts properties predated even the Mlife program!

The reason is that Crystals is no longer owned by MGM/Dubai World. It was sold off to Simon a few years ago. It used to be possible to charge from Crystals restaurants to rooms at Mlife properties - I remember doing it from Social House back in the day.

EDIT TO ADD: As I mention in my edited post above, the MO/WA building was actually sold by MGM/City Center last year and that is what prompted the management change to WA. So I'm very surprised to hear that charging at WA to other Mlife properties is possible, and sorry for my irrelevant sidetrack if so.
