MrBeast (aka Jimmy “Gives-Away-Millions-For-Fun” Donaldson) partnered up with Resorts World Las Vegas to drop a 3-day “MrBeast Experience” extravaganza from April 13-15. Think mystery bags! Think immersive events! Think Willy Wonka but with less child endangerment and more YouTube clout!
But what did fans actually get?
Cue dramatic drumroll…
A box of chocolates, some random-sized T-shirts, and the kind of confusion usually reserved for IKEA instructions.
🧳 The “Mystery Bag” Was a Mystery Alright
Fans who shelled out for a 3-night stay were promised exclusive goodies, with one lucky bag holding a $10,000 golden ticket (presumably not melted into the chocolate). But most people opened their bags to find:
– Two XXS shirts (for your pet lizard)
– One medium and one large tee (a solid compromise if you’re mid-growth spurt)
– One pair of XXL shorts (a tent? a sail?)
– And a hat. Because why not?
One attendee summed it up like this: “It was advertised as an immersive experience, but aside from the gift bag and a channel on the TV with MrBeast’s logo, it was basically a YouTube-themed ghost town.”
🍫 Day 1: Confusion. Day 2: More Confusion. Day 3: Chocolate.
TikTok user @RandomRecess went full detective mode, documenting the entire letdown. By Day 2, they reported “nothing but a box of chocolates.” (Life really *is* like one, apparently.)
By Day 3, a bunch of guests held what can only be described as a support group/complaints committee with Resorts World staff. Their reward? A $50 pool credit (which is adorable if you didn’t bring a swimsuit) and another $50 credit to a sports bar that’s 21+… which didn’t help guests with kids unless those kids were exceptionally tall and had convincing fake IDs.
💔 Resorts World: “Surprise!”
Guests: “That *was* the surprise.”
Turns out, Resorts World staff were just as bewildered as the guests. Nobody knew what the “activations” were supposed to be. The restaurants? Clueless. The front desk? Probably Googling “What is a MrBeast?”
It’s like throwing a surprise party and forgetting to invite the birthday person. Or buy cake. Or even get a balloon.
🛠️ MrBeast to the Rescue!
To his credit, MrBeast is doing his best superhero impression. He slid into the Twittersphere like:
“Hey! This definitely isn’t the experience we hoped they’d deliver. My team’s already on it—I’d love to personally make it up to you and anyone else by inviting everybody affected to tour my actual studio! Can’t wait to meet you all :D”
Translation: “Sorry you went to Vegas and all you got was this oversized hat. Come hang at the studio and let’s make it right.”
🎤 Final Thoughts
MrBeast’s fans showed up for an immersive extravaganza and ended up with awkward shorts, mystery sizing, and possibly heatstroke. The only thing “activated” was their group chat to roast this event in real time.
But hey, not all heroes wear capes. Some wear random-sized merch and start calling their lawyers—and MrBeast, being the internet’s favorite philanthropist, is trying to turn this flop into a feature.
Resorts World, next time… maybe try planning the experience before you post the Instagram teaser, yeah?
Hey! This definitely isn't the experience we hoped they'd deliver. My team's already on it—I'd love to personally make it up to you and anyone else by inviting everybody affected to tour my actual studio! Can't wait to meet you all and my team is reaching out to everyone 😀
