South Point to host season 2 of MrBeast's ‘Beast Games'
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A building near the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas will host a new production featuring YouTube megastar MrBeast.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, will be producing the second season of his 'Beast Games' competition at the location in south Las Vegas. In Beast Games, 'contestants compete in nail-biting, physical, mental, and social challenges, for a chance to win a whopping $5 million dollar cash prize,' according to an official release from Amazon MGM Studios.
According to the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED), episode 201 of the Beast Games will be filmed entirely on location at the South Point. Officials said that the production has an estimated $16 million budget, all of which will be spent in Nevada.
'This decision not only underscores our commitment to showcasing iconic American destinations, but also brings significant economic and public relations benefits to the greater Las Vegas area,' officials said.
Over the course of a month, including pre-production, filming, and wrap-up, officials said that approximately 500 professionals would be employed, including grips, electricians, carpenters, painters, production assistants, producers, security staff, and others.
'We are excited to bring Project Seek to Nevada and look forward to a successful collaboration with the Las Vegas community,' officials said.
Season one of the Beast Games was filmed at the Allegiant Stadium and featured 2,000 contestants. The project is expected to be completed by Feb. 2026, according to state government documents.
