But it does add a pretty big sales channel for MGM, so they might be OK just living with it, at least initially.

As a Globalist, assuming you don't have to pay resort fees at the Hyatt Regency (/whatever other property they add in) and get the other perks like free breakfast, suite upgrades, club access, then unless there's a big price differential it would make it difficult to justify staying at other properties.
