All the older DPs said Bellagio will charge you the resort fee at check in and won't budge on waiving it, but there maybe newer ones that I have not read where they fixed it. I did book Bellagio and put in my MGM reservation number into MGM website to see the balance on the bill and it shows $0 balance so that looks promising. You can do the same as well just to check the MGM got your reservation (room type, date, balance, etc..). But I ended up cancelling that reservation because reading way too many DPs on reddit saying that Bellagio double charge resort fees. I switch to MGM Grand because ALL the DPs on MGM Grand EDIT stays say that Resort Fee is not charged. There are also a few saying that Aria now does not double charge resort fee if anyone is interested.
BTW, I don't know if they fixed it or not, if you enter your MGM reservation number into your MGM account add to trip, you can get the folio from MGM at the end of your stay and it will show how much Chase Travel paid for the room and how much money Chase Travel made.
I mean, my $0.02 is that if you book an "all fees included" rate with no disclaimer of an additional charge and then they sock you with a "Resort Fee" at check-in, that's chargeback fodder. Note that in the screenshot above, the "Resort Fee" is explicitly included in the quoted rate, so I don't think the hotel would have a leg to stand on - any "mistake" or "confusion" would be between them and Chase, not them and you.
Whether you want to pursue this depends on how much you value your relationship with the property in question (I'll do it with Hilton because based on their reputation for arbitrarily killing accounts because people "complain too much" I place a value of $0 on my loyalty relationship there), but I consider it to be completely unethical for properties to play that sort of game. I'd go through some ritualistic pushback at check-out (to say you did so when contesting) and then I'd be on the phone with Chase as soon as the charge formally posts.
