“The MrBeast Experience” includes a three-night stay at Resorts World, a MrBeast “mystery bag” stocked with MrBeast-branded merchandise and, for one lucky guest, a $10K voucher redeemable for cash at Resorts World.

Nature of the Beast

MrBeast is 26-year-old James Donaldson, whose YouTube clips feature elaborate challenges and alleged donations of large sums of money.

“We’re thrilled to partner with MrBeast to bring a new immersive experience to the property,” said Ronn Nicolli, chief marketing officer of Resorts World, in a press statement. “It’s special and unexpected and delivers on our commitment to create unforgettable experiences. We look forward to welcoming his fans to create lasting memories at our property.”

If all this fanfare seems overboard for a YouTuber, you probably don’t realize that MrBeast is the YouTuber. His subscribers outnumber those of all other content creators on the channel at 351 million.

MrBeast is a native of Greenville, NC who first went viral in 2017 after a “counting to 100,000” clip earned tens of thousands of videos in just a few days. By 2022, Forbes estimated his worth at $500 million and, a year later, Time magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people.

All the Beast?

According to the Resorts World website, its experience also promises “a series of on-site activations at select restaurants on the property, treating guests to an immersive experience.”

That’s it, though. There are no meet and greets with their internet idol or even a Q&A session at the Resorts World Theatre while it sits empty during the day.

Strangely, it doesn’t appear that MrBeast has much to do with this promotion — other than obviously allowing it to occur without him.

Beast of Burden

Perhaps MrBeast chose not to come to Vegas because of how poorly things went during his last visit.

Last July, MrBeast taped an episode of his Amazon Prime series, “Beast Games,” at Allegiant Stadium. In the show, 1,000 contestants competed for a $5 million grand prize, said to be the largest in game-show history. The episode, which began streaming on January 23, ended on a cliffhanger, with 30  contestants still in the running.

But that wasn’t the story that made headlines. Behind the scenes, the production was plagued by allegations of injury, lack of food and medical care, and worse. Last September, Donaldson and others were smacked with a class-action lawsuit. Filed by five female contestants, it alleged mistreatment, sexual harassment, and unpaid expenses and wages. The case is still pending.

Donaldson posted a response on X in November: “We have tons of behind the scenes dropping when the show does to show how blown out of proportion these claims were. Just can’t release it now because it would spoil the games.”

The MrBeast Resorts World package goes on sale Thursday, January 30 right here.
