    I have not gone to any of these free ticket places so I have no allotment used and I have a trip coming up with a 75 year old. Is there a lot of walking involved with these experiences? Are any of these at Bellagio, Mandalay Bay or Mirage otherwise not good to send take him to (not asking about the beach or Foundation Room)?

    Shark Reef Aquarium is in fact at Mandalay Bay like this post pointed out. Yes there is walking involved but it is quite relaxing and you can go at your own pace. There is some seating in there should your companion need a rest. Same goes for Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden at Mirage. Plenty of seating and shade. Some indoor stores should you need a snack or shop and get out of the heat. I've been to both with a toddler in tow and hand zero issues with that slow pace lagging behind me. Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is obviously at Bellagio and there is bench seating but the space isnt very large. Unless you are an art lover and want to sit and stare at this stuff I dont know if it would be worth the long walk to the back of the property (its near their pool very far removed from the strip).

    Turndown service in a standard room without request? I have not received it on regular room, only in suites but in suites you don't need to be platinum anyhow.

    Bellagio: Access to the Bellagio Fountains Brunch

    Does anyone knows how this works? Want to go in November. Do I have to reserve a table (2pl) at jasmin or go to any MLife-Desk?

    I asked for and got a host at MGM and Mirage. I usually get 4 nights comped with 100-150 a day for food. I also get the free limo to/from airport. All this is not published, I just get the host to do it for me. I usually get 350 to 500k mlife points a year so my play helps. I play mostly craps with some slot play when I am getting killed in craps. I also have been getting invited guest priveleges the last 4 trips so check in is even better. And I for one love the taxi line cut a bunch

    If they treat you well. You should stay there. But win money from them. Play were you win. I'll just miss you again this trip.

    When is SEMA? I'll try to make it in then.

    I find the turndown service useless and annoying. Someone gets into my room, turn on the TV and leave two chocolates.
    Do I care about that two chocolates? I would rather get a bottle of water.

    Does Platinum get charged a resort fee at MLIFE?

    I've booked at Aria before and I always see they say I'm going to be charged a resort fee. But I've never been charged one.

    But with the run around I have been getting I wouldn't be surprised if they charged me a resort fee.

    Yes. If room is not comped then Platinum pays resort fee.

    It depends (on the offer). Even in a comped room, they could still charge you the resort fee, Platinum or not.
    In genereal, if the comped room comes with free play and food credits, then usually no resort fee.
    You can get it comped at the back end, but that is a different issue.
