    Are there lots of these machines along the strip? Maybe the buffets? 7-11? Etc

    Thanks

    I know for sure there's one in the 800 Degrees pizzeria just outside the Monte Carlo. Not much of a soda drinker - but that I can tell you with certainty.

    I've only ever seen the Coke Freestyle, but it's a machine that can dispense Coke products in multiple (over 100) flavors.

    Locally I have seen them in buffets and 7-11s for Coke products.

    They dispense fountain drinks except instead of having a bunch of levers you push your cup up against its a touch screen and you can go through the menu and pick and choose what you want out of the flavor choices.

    The two biggest draws to the machines are selection - instead of having just 4 or 5 flavors they usually have 100+, and that you can add flavors to your standard drinks, IE: you can have Cherry Coke, Strawberry Coke, Raspberry Coke, etc or likewise add the strawberry flavor to your diet Sprite, etc

    If you prefer drinks without caffeine or sugar its nice because usually with a typical fountain dispenser they are limited to only offering a few choices (IE: no caffeine choices are usually just Sprite or ginger ale and for diet they offer Diet Coke) but with these you will get a lot more choices and you can also customize their flavors as well.

    Interesting concept. Is the cost/drink better for the consumer? Is there size choices?

    I have abandoned soda drinking except for the occasional ginger ale or tonic water (with appropriate booze) so I would have never noticed one of these machines.

    Cost is the same as any other soda machine. It all depends on what the establishment wants to charge.

    The first pepsi freestyle I've EVER seen in ALL of North America was at the pizza place in SLS. It was the only place I've seen them until recently when all the Subway's in Toronto got them about a month ago

    I might have been confused then sorry. Last trip I visited 3 buffets excalibur luxor and rio. Then maybe only the mlife buffets have it.

    Mirage buffet has the Coke machine...like three of them.

    The Linq had the Pepsi one the last time I was there (November)...only place I've ever saw one anywhere. It's in The Nook Cafe which is waaaaaaaaay in the back. Past the elevators, past the Nook Express. Awesome gyros, BTW.

    I believe Mirage Buffet has the coke one and also many of the Jack in the Box around the strip have the Coke ones too

    Not exactly pissed, but just trying to be funny. If you found it funny, I guess there must be some truth in it, however.
