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.

Judging by how Americans vote, this guy will be president within the next twenty years.
Calm down satan.
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!
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.
This, totally this. I hate America for spreading their empty vapid ideas over the world
Shut your dirty fucking mouth

Lol nice try. I think you could probably do a better job misrepresenting my arguments next time though.
Either that, or brush up a bit on cause and effect.
How many alts do you have?
And who the fuck is “person prole”?
No alts. One and the same.
Sorry for not posting reference.
Here you go https://lemmy.world/comment/16421833
You may be projecting. I see your alt is upvoting your ridiculously bitter comments everywhere. Time to take a break from Lemmy Person Prole.
Thanks for providing context so anyone who comes across this can see how ridiculous you look right now.
Maybe don’t link to a comment mid-convserarion though.
I know having someone challenge your beliefs can be tough, but following them around on a web forum is a strange way of coping. You are behaving in a very odd way.
If you actually want to talk through the crisis you’re having, I’m here. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you stopped wasting my time.
Enjoy your weekend.
Buddy, I’m not following you around. I’m casually perusing Lemmy. Look at your comment history, shitposting and being a bitter salty contrarian is your full time job here, which I didnt know, hence my surprise to run into you again.
You’re not here. None of your comments - to me or others - display any kind of willingness to listen or openness to other people’s viewpoints. You never respond to people’s points, just talk over them, so carry on. You’re making Lemmy look busy and a valid alternative to Reddit lurkers, and provide downvotable content, so I’m grateful for your contributions either way.
They hated him because he told the truth
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.
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.
If he pops up in a video of a channel I like, instantly thumbs down and block the video. Not rewarding that chode.
This tracks with my viewing habits, thanks!

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.
Giving Fyre Festival a run for its money.
Because he is happy to licence his face and brand to any Tom, Dick or Harry. He certainly got his payment, so oh well.
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.
He should shave his beard and get a slick back.
His smile NEVER reaches them. He’s such a grifter
God damn, almost instinctually downvoted this post because I saw his face
Y’know, the thing about him, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.
I really hate this guy’s face
It’s the soulless eyes that creep me out
MrBeast might not be the guy he says he is.
Oh, he 100% is. Not what he says with his words, but what he says with his dead eyes and propped up smile. He’s not chasing a dream, he’s running away from a nightmare of fame that has left him a hollow yet addicted for the high of fame that is no longer achievable. He is a man who shot for the moon and, instead of landing among the stars, found himself stranded on the cold, lifeless rock, drifting along forever, alone, exactly where he said he wanted to be.
I swear people use to love him. What happened?
True, for low values of “people.”
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.
Eat the rich
Oh, just a disappointing LV attraction. I was hoping for some Charlie Sheen level winning here. I could have used a good celebrity melt down this week.
He let us down AGAIN. SMDH 😔
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’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?
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
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.
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.
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.
Mr Beast is the quintessential example of someone who defines themselves by their unfathomable success, attributing it to their unique work-ethic and dedication, and then collapses under the weight of their impossibly large ego
I could cook a turkey on the heat of this burn.
Thank you.
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.
