Las Vegas is a hot market for minibars, but it won’t be forever. The hospitality industry is on the cusp of seeing a new type of guest amenity in place of minibars: robots. On average, it costs hotels too much money to employ people to check and restock minibars, driving the prices of the items up and deterring guests from purchasing them. Many hotels have switched from minibars that require hotel staff to manually track inventory and charges of minibar items to an automated minibar system in cost-cutting efforts. Even if hotels are making enough money on high-end luxury minibar items to warrant the minibar, the number of people who are able and willing to purchase high-end, pricey products is diminishing.
