The regular check-in line was long and was only slowly moving. Lucky for me again that I have status with M-life. I lined myself up in the elite check-in line. That’s what the hotel calls this area between the parking garage and the hotel lobby. It took me a second to find the best way to the lobby from the “Underground”. It’s even more interesting if you have bags and need to use an elevator. It’s quite a walk from the parking garage to the check-in counter. Once I got to the gate of the parking garage, I swiped my M-life rewards card and was able to get in. Because I am a Gold member of the M-life rewards program, I don’t have to pay for self or valet parking. Once there I looked for the parking garage and followed the signs for self-parking. The drive to get to the hotel was easy on a late Sunday afternoon.

The MGM Grand is located at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, exactly the opposite spot of where I am coming from. I booked the one-night stay and started my drive to Las Vegas. The cheapest rate I could find was at the MGM Grand for some reason. I like that stays at M-life properties count towards your elite qualification for the World of Hyatt program. I am a member of both programs and both give me different benefits.

Where to go for one night in Vegas? I searched for a place to stay at the two main hotel groups here.
