Are platinum mlife card holders allowed to use Bellagio's lounge for drinks and such or is it accessible to only noir and invited guests?
As far as I know it's only invited guests, but if your referring to the one at hotel check in, there isn't much there besides cookies, tea, coffee, water, and soft drinks. The only reason I really go in there anyway is to go to the bathroom. They also aren't very strict about who they do and do not let in like venetian. Just walk in and pretend you belong; nobody will say anything. Especially if it's busy.
VIP Lounge has to be coded by your host. Doesn't matter what color the card. At busier times, the bar attendant will ask to see your VIP room key before allowing you to take part in the amenities.
Or it can just be part of your marketing offer. I've never needed a host at Bellagio because my marketing offers are always really good, and almost always include VIP Lounge Check-In.
M-Life NOIR will get you into the Bellagio VIP lounge regardless if you are staying there or not. I agree that the attendants are now asking to see VIP room keys or the NOIR card.
Is there a separate "invited guests" check-in line at Bellagio in the main lobby? We are staying there next month on a comp offer but are not big mlife players at all recently. I remember a few years ago when I had a comp offer at Monte Carlo there was a separate "invited guests" line I could use to skip the bigger line. This talk of the VIP lounge check-in has me confused. While my offer and reservation come from their "Casino VIP services" I am assuming that is not enough to allow me to use this VIP lounge to check-in people are referring to in this thread. (or is it?). First time staying at Bellagio and just curious about options to avoid the sometimes long check-in lines if possible.
call whoever made your reservation and ask them to put you in for VIP check-in. if that fails, yes, there is an invited guests line on the far right.
There are two "VIP" check-ins. One is just to the left of the bell desk, unmarked and non-descript door. That is for those who book a Penthouse suite or higher room category. They have wine and soft drinks and some finger foods. The true players VIP lounge has two entrances and is by the host desk. That one is host access.
don't confuse people. the one on the left for Pent+ is not VIP. that is called the Chairman's Lounge.
Shifter, that's why I put VIP in quotes. And I imagine why they now call it the Chaiman's Lounge. I should have been more explicit.
Thanks for the info guys, a lot going on in this thread; can someone clarify what 'invited guest check-in' gives you vs VIP Guest check-in?
