I quit playing in MLIFE a few years ago; I went for 7* in CET. Beginning with 4/1/15 (noted in another thread), the perks are diminishing.
Once I cross 150,000 TC and re-qualify for 7*, I was planning to do the rest of my gambling with MLIFE. Their qualifying year begins 10/1/15; wouldn't waiting until then be the best time to resume play?

I only play penny slots, but bet max, $4/$5 per spin (depending on the game). 150,000 TC seems like a lot, but they have bonuses^: 1000 TC, adds an additional 1000 TC; 2500 TC adds a 5000 TC bonus; 5000 TC adds 10,000 TC bonus. This year for play in AC [during a specified period] they've added 25,000 TC + in August another 10,000.

The CET casinos I play at are Caesars (mainly), Harrahs (frequently), Ballys (rarely)--that's all thats left.
There lots of comp multiplier offers. In addition I get 2 restaurant credits/month--it used to be 4

No casino host
I have Mlife Plat level due to being Hyatt diamond. I realize this is sort of low in the Mlife game since they would rather me a gold level gambling wise than a plat level merely by hotel match. However, it's where I am. I see little benefits and read of stuff online. For example, getting into day club. It's always said, "it's better to have your casino host arrange...." Ok, so what if you don't have a casino host? How does one effectuate the unwritten benefits of mlife levels? It doesn't seem like a casino host wants to help someone that gambles twenty dollars a day. Lol.

I was thinking like cutting line at day club but I guess you are right that showing my plat card should work there. I hadn't really thought about anything specific beyond that.

Just as a forewarning, you're not cutting the line at Wet Republic with your Platinum card if there's any remotely well-known DJ spinning.

But if all you want to do is, for example, use the Mandalay Bay beach while staying at a different property, you can just show your MLife card at the gate and they'll wave you +1 inside.
Same with taxi lines (IMO one of the biggest auxiliary benefits), restaurants, etc. For things like Shark Reef & Secret Garden, you'll need to show your Plat card and ID at the ticket window and they'll print you a couple comp'd tickets.

Do m-life stays count for Hyatt tier status
If I stay 12 nights in a row at Luxor by booking thought Hyatt.com, will I get credit for 12 nights stayed at my Hyatt gold passport account?
Reason I ask is because I am doing a diamond fast track for my wife to qualify for diamond right now and want to make sure these count first as nights for tier status.

No. Diamond Fast Track must be for Hyatt properties. MGM properties don't count.

I am Mlife Plat from my Hyatt Diamond status. I stayed at MGM three nights last October, and somehow accumulated ~25K points, despite the fact that I didn't/don't gamble.
I have been researching FT threads/interweb to try to learn answers to these questions, without success: Is there a way to prevent points expiration short of visiting a property? Is there any real value to these points for a non-gambler?
TIA!
