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.

MrBeast themed menu? Like a bunch of moldy lunchly?
If you want to see the real person, just give them money.
Dead eyes.
His smile NEVER reaches them. He’s such a grifter
He never figured out how to fake a smile. He knows a smile means moving the corners of the mputh up and showing some teeth, but his eyes remain dead and uncaring.
And him photoshopping every thumbnail to be overly saturated and bright with smoothed out skin doesn’t help.
He should shave his beard and get a slick back.
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?
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.
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.
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’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
any money you’re betting is the cost of entertainment for the evening
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
Noted, thanks.
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.
Replying to a fan’s complaint on X, Donaldson admitted it “definitely isn’t the experience we hoped they’d deliver” and promised to make it up by inviting everyone affected to his studio.
I feel like this could have been on purpose. If it wasn’t he would have offered refunds.
The issue is in the text. “We hoped they’d deliver.” This wasn’t a Mr Beast project, it’s something someone paid to slap his name and branding on and they did what people who usually do this stuff do. Hoped the branding would carry them and made an experience for as cheap as possible hoping to take in the cash.
I’m not saying Mr Beast is a good dude, but the stuff that he is actually personally involved in seems to at least have effort, even if it isn’t good. This was definitely a “we want to do a show we will pay you so we can call it the Mr Beast whatever.” His team said fine and he let them do whatever, and this third party squeezed money out of it and bungled it.
I doubt it. Inviting to the studio is probably way cheaper - not everyone will do it since people would have to travel, and even when they come, there’s not much cost to a quick tour or whatever.
I can’t tell if he’s super stoned in this pic or if he just looks that soulless all the time. However, I lean towards the latter given his circumstances.
it’s the latter. Cameras notoriously steal souls, that’s why youtubers can do those ad reads, whereas normal person’s dignity wouldn’t allow one to.
MrBeast Experience == Fyre Island
Nowhere near as epic. This would be like a pre-show to Fyre island.
Reminds me a lot of that botched Willy Wonka experience in Scotland.
What a punchable face.
Eat the rich
A Moroccan proverb: " The greedy is beaten by the liar"
Does this weirdo have like one photo where he looks like he’s smiling for real, is he incapable of feeling joy or something. He definately seems like he’s on the spectrum when he talks, don’t know if that’s a contributing factor
As I recall, he’s spent the last several years sanding down his whole personality as much as possible so as to become as inoffensive as possible so he can cast the widest possible net for an audience.
Yeah, I don’t think this is a spectrum thing. He’s purely a manufactured identity. There’s nothing left behind the mask.
Who the hell cares about this random streamer.
isn’t he one of the most popular youtubers? idk, I keep hearing about him so he’s probably not ‘random’
Any popular YouTuber is a random
what even is random
Fire skates plural when the glurp-spasm phrenolactates slug bottoms.
DISCLAIMER: don’t quote me on this, I could be off by a cloff-shnort or seven.
umbode, the pleurven merci baucoop :)
“grifter”. it’s nice to know who’s going to take advantage of you
Exactly. Paying 1000 dollars to see some scripted asshole is not how I would like to live. If was rich and had dumb kids that idolized him I would disable their internet access.
Thing is this isn’t the first time. He did more challenges with awards but once the video was done he took up and left off. Smiling to the bank with that uncanny valley expression.
Who wore it best?
Uncle Bob was far more convincing.
“Uncle Bob…? Ok!”
“Pitcher of tequila woman! Let’s dust off the firearms…”
He’s not sorry for anything honestly. He will continue to do bs like because of this fans. It maybe funny and cringe now but it will be interesting if he tries to run for office or alines with a political party. “ hey guys I just bought an election!”
Clearly, no one’s read Transmetropolitan lately.
how I wish the Republicans stayed in their reservations…
Frankly? The problem is, they do stay in those pens/pastures/suburban/semi-rural “communities” (straight-up engineered for their smooth, barely-verbal brains), and their minders know exactly where, when, and how to rustle 'em, as it were.
A metaphorical herd of cattle can be many things, including a gawdamned stampede.
What they’ll never be in the eyes of those in charge of them, though? Human.
Judging by how Americans vote, this guy will be president within the next twenty years.
Shut your dirty fucking mouth
They hated him because he told the truth
President of whatever remains of the US, that is.
Hey congrats to Mrbeast on being the 3rd mutant president of the United States of smoldering craters!
Funny you say that, he publicly announced that he’ll run for president in the future
That’s the only possible upside to the nation sinking into a dictatorship, at least we’ll never have a duly elected President Beast… Silver linings and whatnot.
Max Headroom was about a society that decided their elections via tv ratings. We’re kinda already there.
We’ve already reached the point where only billionaires or celebrities can be candidates, extra points if they’re both. Kim Kardashian stands a better chance of being the first woman president over Harris, AOC, Warren, or any other qualified woman.
Calm down satan.
This, totally this. I hate America for spreading their empty vapid ideas over the world
