Las Vegas, NV – What was promised as an “immersive, unforgettable” event hosted by YouTube superstar Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson turned into a PR nightmare over the weekend, leaving attendees furious and demanding refunds.
What Went Wrong?
Guests who paid over $1,000 for the Resorts World Las Vegas x MrBeast experience were met with:
- Endless waiting – Told to stay in their rooms for a “mystery arrival,” only to receive a box of chocolates after 24+ hours.
- Disappointing “exclusive” merch – Attendees got a mystery bag filled with random MrBeast store items (some currently discounted to $9 online).
- No real “immersive” events – Despite promises of “on-site activations,” fans say nothing special happened.
Hotel’s Response? A $50 Food Credit
After complaints, Resorts World Las Vegas offered a 50 food and beverage credit, far from compensating for the 1,000+ spent by attendees.
Attendees Speak Out: “A Total Scam”
- Abigail Marquez (attendee):
“If Jimmy is part of this, I hope he feels good for scamming a whole bunch of adults and their children. That’s how you get subscribers? Cool.” - Others organizing a lawsuit – Some guests have exchanged contact info and plan to take legal action.
MrBeast Responds (Sort Of)
After backlash on X (Twitter), Donaldson said his team would reach out to offer a “studio tour” as compensation—but fans remain unimpressed.
Bigger Controversies Brewing
This isn’t MrBeast’s only issue this month—he’s also suing a former employee for allegedly stealing company secrets.
Final Thoughts
What was meant to be a dream fan event turned into a customer service disaster. With Resorts World removing the event page and refunds still up in the air, this could hurt both the hotel’s reputation and MrBeast’s brand loyalty.
