I understand for a big fight of this magnitude, MGM properties will be the only ones showing fight. But I have a question how does this work?
I just read they will charge $150 for viewing the fight at each of their hotels. Where are they showing the fight? At the big screens they show all the games? Throughout the entire hotel? In your hotel room?
That's more than the PPV itself.

I was in Vegas in 2009 when Paccquiao and Hatton fought at MGM. I seem to remember the only places you could watch it, were in these ballrooms that they converted into a big viewing room with the fight on big screens. And there was an excessive cover charge to get in. I didn't really care, so had no interest in paying.
I do not think they show the fights at the books at all, even the MGM properties. Not sure how it's all set up now, but I believe that's always how it has been. I was out there years ago for a Tyson-Holyfield fight and it was the same way.

Nothing's changed over the last 20 years. Back in 1996 I was in Vegas for the Tyson Holyfield II fight, the one where Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear. Back then the only way to see the fight was to pay an exuberant amount to see it in person, or pay a fee to see it at an MGM theater. We payed something like $25 - $50 each back then to see it in a stadium type theater on the MGM property,.
That was the only way to see it back then and nothing has changed to this day. Pay per view events are not shown in Sportsbooks. This includes MMA fights too.
