This champagne vending machine is the most Vegas thing we’ve ever seen

Rory Cashin

Vegas, the geographical location for all things excessive, has just out-Vegas’d itself.

Head along to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel there and you’ll discover the world’s only champagne vending machine.

To ensure that no kiddies can take advantage of the beautifully simple device, you head along to the front desk with proof that you’re over 21 (this is still the States after all), and they’ll give you the special $20 coin.

You then insert said coin into the machine in exchange for a mini-bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne, as well as small champagne flutes, because what are you? Some kind of animal that drinks out of the bottle?

The machine has been specially designed to make sure your bottle doesn’t get too shook up on the way through, so it doesn’t explode all over the casino when you open it.

Of course, if you want to do that, then you go right ahead and do that. This is Vegas after all.
