Only in Las Vegas is bottle service delivered by drones
Perhaps we can finally say we've reached peak drone. The Marquee Dayclub (that's a fancy word for "a very loud pool") at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas is now using drones to deliver bottle service to some of its VIP customers. The Marquee doesn't take the term "VIP" lightly — drone-delivery service is only sent to clubbers who spend a minimum of $20,000 on a bottle, notes Foodbeast.
