My work colleague stayed at Bellagio on FHR about a week ago and had a horrible check-in experience. The agent insisted that early check in for FHR was not available, but my colleague could still check-in before 3:30 by paying a fee (I think he said $35 or $40). This to me is an outrageous position for Bellagio to take. If early check-in is available for a fee, it ought to be honored for free with the FHR benefit.
I've had more than several great stays at Bellagio on FHR in the past, but its treatment of my friend has me reconsidering. One option I'm looking at now is whether to split my stay across multiple properties. Am I eligible for the FHR $100 credits three times if I go to Delano Wednesday, Bellagio Thursday, and back to Delano on Friday (or, same thing in reverse, Bellagio, Delano, Bellagio)??

Wynn
Booked Wynn TS king. Used early checkin, upgraded to Parlor Suite.
Used breakfast credit mostly for room service, ventured down to Tableau once as well (the new restaurant Jardin is also eligible for bfast credit, but we didn't try it).
Great service and food as always, looking forward to returning

Bellagio fhr
Hey everyone, thought I would chime in... I made a reservation at the bellagio for December in a Cypress suite. The suite showed available at bellagio official website, but did not shoe up on the Amex fhr site. I called Amex and they called bellagio directly, secures the reservation (for $30 cheaper per night than it showed on bellagio site) along with all fhr benefits. First time using this benefit
