MrBeast's recent partnership with Resorts World Las Vegas for a three-day event failed to meet fan expectations, resulting in backlash over unfulfilled promises. Attendees criticized the lack of exclusive merchandise and experiences, describing their wait for mystery surprises as unproductive. In response, MrBeast expressed disappointment and committed to refunding those affected, offering personal gestures like a studio tour. This incident adds to MrBeast's recent pattern of troubled partnerships, prompting his move to consolidate control over his operations as a strategy for brand integrity.
The event promised an immersive experience, including games, exclusive merch and menu items, and a chance to win $10,000. But some fans said the experience didn't deliver on those promises.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, responded to the backlash on X and expressed disappointment with his event partners. 'This definitely isn't the experience we hoped they'd deliver. My team's already on it,' he wrote on Tuesday.
He wrote that people who attended the experience would be refunded and that he'd 'personally make it up to' them by flying them out for a tour of his Greenville, North Carolina studio.
This isn't Donaldson's first partnership that missed the mark. In 2023, he sued the business partner of his ghost kitchen, MrBeast Burger, claiming the poor quality of the food was damaging his brand.
