Westgate has installed over six hundred beverage ordering terminals linked to a player's club card.
Cocktails will be ordered electronically and merely bought by a cocktail waitress.

People who play slot machines and are in the club's highest tier will see a special menu for premium drinks.

All menu's default to the player's favorite drink selections once their card is inserted into the slot machine

Further details at LV Sun.

Last I heard the NV Culinary Union had something in place to outlaw(?) this type of thing.

Every CET casino on the east coast has a touchscreen ordering system built into each machine. I was surprised this wasn’t a thing in Vegas but this might explain why.

Having a diamond card does unlock a premium drink menu as well.

This is one of the reasons I will play at Caesars in AC

When horseshoe in Cleveland was sold I was surprised that Jack didn't keep that system since it was already in place.

Do bartenders, barbacks and tray lizards all belong to the same union in Vegas?

The devices do not eliminate bar tenders.

Why wouldn't waitresses want that system. Instead of them looking for people to order they are being directed directly to them. Those people are still going to tip. I would think it would increase tips.

Possibly because it wouldn't require as many cocktail waitresses. I think unions generally want as many members as possible because each has to pay dues.

Does NV have touchscreen ordering in any venue? I could see unions opposing that sort of thing in fast food type restaurants.

Are fast food restaurants union?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
