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.
Ready to stop hearing about this dork
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.
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

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.
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.
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!
This, totally this. I hate America for spreading their empty vapid ideas over the world
MrBeast Experience == Fyre Island
Nowhere near as epic. This would be like a pre-show to Fyre island.
Seems to have to apologize a lot…
MrBeast themed menu? Like a bunch of moldy lunchly?
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.
Who the hell cares about this random streamer.
“grifter”. it’s nice to know who’s going to take advantage of you
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.
This is the type of ghing that he shouldn’t need to appologize for. The appology does no good. An appology is for if you said something that could be misinterpreted, or you made a bad choice thinking it would play out differently.
This is just an intentionally poorly planned event. They wait in their hotel room for 2 days. Then they get chocolates. In no scenario does that play out differently. Those bags will always contain chocolates if you plan for them to contain chocolates.
So what’s the appology? “I’m sorry I ripped you off”?
Also, $9 T-Shirts? I’m confident that if I go into Walmart, their cheapest T-Shirt is $20. So how low quality are these T-Shirts??? Especially since I assume they also have some branded print screening on them.
Gildan brand (cheap) tshirts with a screen print, are definitely closer to 9-15 dollars, any time a merch place is selling those rough uncomfortable shirts for like $30 I just have to laugh at the people who buy them.
A Moroccan proverb: " The greedy is beaten by the liar"
I believe it. A really good liar is hard to beat. Growing up, my mother was a narcissistic psychopath, and that turned me into the most elaborate, sensical liar. I don’t generally use it for evil, but I’ve gotten myself out of so many problems by navigating hairy situations on the seat of my pants. I hate how my childhood was but I appreciate the skill I gained from them, it’ll serve me well when shit really hits the fan.
Go away trash man.
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.
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?
Eat the rich
