Has anyone ever booked a hotel through MLife? I have been reading through the terms and although it says bookings include all fees and taxes, I'm not sue if it means resort fees are included. Any help would be appreciated as never booked through them before.
Thanks

we had 2 nights comped at Mirage last trip and the confirmation stated that the resort fee would be added, but we weren't charged...but it did certainly say that we would be charged.

Just checked going through mlife to try it and without any comped offers, just 'exclusive' rates that aren't that exclusive it also says the resort fee will be charge.

But it may be that on some comped offers the resort fee is waived, maybe?

Just booked Sept 26-30 trip to Vegas. Short weekend trip to take in an event on the Saturday night. Had redeemed some myvegas points for buffet but see it's Mon-Thurs only (which would limit me to the Monday only) so will opt for refund and see what else I can get for about 180k pts. Hotel already booked via expedia. So may use it on freeplay.

Also on social rewards have about 50 dollars worth but not staying at Caesars property (staying at Vdara) DO I just go up to total rewards desk and ask to swap the 5000 reward credits for say Mon Ami Gabi voucher/coupon?

Free play is not valid if you haven't booked your rooms through MGM. There have been a few threads complaining about that on MyVegas friends etc. check it out before you select those options. It would possibly take you over your allowed refunds if it doesn't work for you.

Just booked my third trip, second one this year! Went in June with my wife but now going again 31 august to 4 September and going solo.

Was a bit apprehensive about going alone but I'm going to play poker which was limited on last two trips with my wife.

Staying at the aria this time and have previously stayed at caesars.

Anyone else ever gone solo? Any advice?

No, just hand over your Total Rewards card and ask that they take the credit stored on it as part payment.

Go to any TR desk to get your card if you don't already have one.

Yes
What are you apprehensive about?
Lots of people do go solo .....and even those who don't are often out and about solo eg one likes to gamble the other sun and shop.....or one likes table games the other slots etc. you won't stand out and people are usually very friendly.

Just had our November flights changed by United Airlines.
We are flying via Dulles Washington,and had a 4 hour ( little bit longer than usual) layover.They have now changed to 90 minutes.....think that's a bit optimistic.We have been through Dulles twice before with them,and managed ok,but with the extra security checks I personally don't think it can be done in 90minutes.....not to happy.

Call United and tell them.
They will offer you other routings most likely if you ask eg via LAX instead of Washington.

Just make sure you're always more than 1440 minutes travelling time from https://www.google.co.uk/maps?ll=36.15139,-95.987377&spn=0.050246,0.104628&t=m&z=14
