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.

    I have never watched a single video of his.

    I never want to do it either.

      He was in a video I watched once. I don’t remember the whole context, something to do with how he was so successful at working YT’s algorithm. Had never heard of the guy before then, and all of the content samples they showed were braindead nothingburgers.

      I blocked his ass on my kids YouTube but I can’t block it on his friends YouTube. I just point out how creepy and weird he is.
