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.

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…”
Giving Fyre Festival a run for its money.
The sad thing is, once he really hit it big, he could have just done good will stuff and kept the money fucking rolling in.
He didn’t have to do * emotions to all of everything * this.
He could have hired a PR firm and a capable management staff, still had fun circle jerking his friends but actually be a positive force for society.
Everybody he has running the show is under educated, incapable, and unashamed of all this.
With that kind of money he should have a office building full of people working this shit out.
Seems to have to apologize a lot…
“I’m sorry that I keep doing things that make me sorry.”

Ready to stop hearing about this dork
I have never watched a single video of his.
I never want to do it either.

He was in a video I watched once. I don’t remember the whole context, something to do with how he was so successful at working YT’s algorithm. Had never heard of the guy before then, and all of the content samples they showed were braindead nothingburgers.
I think it was a veritasium video. I know because it’s also the only time I’ve seen that dork on camera.
This tracks with my viewing habits, thanks!
If he pops up in a video of a channel I like, instantly thumbs down and block the video. Not rewarding that chode.
Yeah, I have no idea who he is.
I blocked his ass on my kids YouTube but I can’t block it on his friends YouTube. I just point out how creepy and weird he is.
Dead eyes.
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.
His smile NEVER reaches them. He’s such a grifter
He should shave his beard and get a slick back.
Can’t make money giving away expensive shit, dumbass https://media.tenor.com/tPLKdGTxM9gAAAAM/i-like-money-frito.gif
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?
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.
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
Noted, thanks.
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
They’ll usually keep bringing you drinks as long as you keep gambling.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
My hopes for world evolution are dashed when I see people still falling for this stupid shit every day.
I hate influencers too so I get it, but I figure its mostly kids and young adults who grew up watching him, so I put the blame more on the systems and communities they grew up in.
Those kids should have been protected by say… A strong consumer protections board, or parents controlling their screen time & curating their viewing, government banning phones at school, or outright banning social media for kids, or a quality education teaching them media literacy - but all of those things are demonized as bad things that those socialist European countries have.
or parents controlling their screen time & curating their viewing
Ironically, one of the people who attended went with their mother.
If you want to see the real person, just give them money.
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.
I really hate this guy’s face
It’s the soulless eyes that creep me out
if you go to these or you let your children go, you deserve to get scammed, which is probably also Donaldson’s point of view. No respect for that guy btw, but I doubt he has little of it for himself either.
What a punchable face.
