YouTuber MrBeast has issued an apology after his ‘MrBeast Experience’ at a Las Vegas resort did not live up to the billing.
The event at Resorts World Las Vegas was advertised as an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience that included exclusive games, a MrBeast-themed menu and mystery bags thought to contain limited edition merch, including one with a $10,000 (£7,550) gift voucher.
Instead, the guests camped out in their hotel rooms waiting days for their bags to arrive. And when they did, the guests were underwhelmed.
“I was told to wait in my room for two days for a package to come, so I legit spent two days in my room for a package to come, and it was a box of chocolates,” Ms Metta said.
Several users said on social media that they received T-shirts in different sizes, which could be purchased for $9 (£7) online.
I’m assuming the hotel rooms were not paid for by Mr. Beast.
Never been to Vegas, but I’ve heard it’s obscenely expensive, and the owners jack room rates when an event like this happens.
“So, just wait in your room, that you’re paying for, to get your goodie bag.”
That sum it up?
Travelling to Vegas and staying in a hotel there are actually both pretty cheap. The hotels want you to stay in their hotel so you’ll gamble in their casino and not someone else’s.
If there’s one thing Vegas resorts don’t want you to do, it is to stay in your room. You can’t be losing your ass on the casino floor up there.
Is it true the alcohol is free is the higher end places?
In many places, yes. Though “free” comes with the implication that you still tip your server, because something about the way the alcohol laws are written make it so the server is the one “paying” for your drinks. So keep making it worth their while, and they’ll keep the drinks flowing.
Even the cheap places as long as you are wagering a certain amount
I thought it would have something to do with that. Thanks for the info. I’m not a gambler, and I’ll probably never end up there, but good to know. Have a good one.
I’m not much of a gambler either, but I live in a casino town, and I’ve gotten lots of drinks comped by sitting with $20 in a video poker machine while I drink and shoot the shit with my friends.
Just remember to tip well, and go in with the mindset that any money you’re betting is the cost of entertainment for the evening. It’s a fun way to spend an evening, and plenty of times I wind up going home with money that I would have just spent at a bar.
Edit: also if you’re into sports, the sports book is the way to go. If you wager $10 in what’s called a parlay on 3 different games, you can win $160, so even games you otherwise didn’t care about suddenly become interesting. Betting in three baseball games can be a great way to kill a day hanging out in the summer
Noted, thanks.
I wish more people thought this way. When I go with this mindset I’m never upset when I lose. I tell my friends it’s like an adult arcade, you pay to play the game not to win the prizes.
It also really helps to alleviate the “just a bit more” trap. You spend $100 on a night out, you lose $100, nights over. You’re not trying to go win big, you’re going for some fun, and the money is already spent before you walk in the door.
Yes if you’re an addict it’s not gonna stop you from hitting the ATM, but it definitely saves you from losing track and going home broke
Most places will try to keep you there if you’re a whale.
Or they think you’re a whale.
Or you just lost a certain amount to them. Generally, if they’re comping you free drinks, it’s because it’s seen as more profitable than letting you walk.
Of course waitstaff might also comp you drinks because whatever- you’re a good tipper, they like you… you’re not a raging douche…. Or something.
I understand the “whale” reference.
Thanks for the info.
I’ve gotten free drinks just playing the slots. Same w poker but that was $100 buy in. Both were like >10 yrs ago tho
They’ll usually keep bringing you drinks as long as you keep gambling.
