Are there any other benefits that others have found useful? I guess it'll be exciting to try the chauffeur service as well!
Yes - this is still available. It's known as the "Dubai Stopover Package". This is the UK version :-

It mentions the 24 hours check-in / check-out in "selected hotels". So, it's worth giving them a call and choosing a hotel that offers this.

You're referring to Dubai Connect. That's not what the OP is asking in this case.
