Minor downside. I do this all the time. FWIW, hosts can extend check-out till 2pm. If you do book the Sunday for late check-out, I believe if you vacate and are checked out prior to 2pm it might not even count as the extra night. Though, you are a bit in YMMV territory there.

That's a great idea with booking a Sunday night stay to counter the 11am check out although we would need to pay the resort fee + taxes for that Sunday night booking. So there wouldn't be a penalty for early checkout? Assuming gold or platinum members don't get late check out benefits? I don't see it listed so I'm guessing now.

Baccarat_king - when you say hosts, do you mean the guys at the tables? Or are you referring to the front desk agents?

Has anyone tried staying at Borgata and received Hyatt stay/night credit?

Does anyone know how the free parking works? Do I need to pick up my card before entering the parking lot?

Thanks in advance!

No late checkout for anyone (except maybe NOIR I guess) as part of Mlife.

I believe the Hyatt deal is only for the Mlife properties in Vegas, but not 100% sure.

For the free parking you present your Mlife card at the booth when leaving the parking lot. No stopping on the way in. (The paid parking price is a fixed rate regardless of how long -- or how short -- you're there.)

The folks at the tables are the Pit Bosses. They supervise the action there. A host is a casino representative assigned to a player, based on play, to help develop, enrich, assist in that relationship. They can often help you secure rooms and tickets you may not be able to get on your own, as well as ensure other parts of your stay (gaming, resort credit, etc) are attractive enough for you to continue your level of play/spend at their properties.

And as bgriff said, you won't need your card on the way in, just present it upon leaving. One AC tip, if you don't know: If you're at Borgata and considering visiting Tropicana, pay the (cheap) $5 fee and get a parking transfer. Trop is usually at least $10, so you'll save $5 minimum.
