This happened Saturday Night at the Westgate Casino in Las Vegas. It was around 10 PM. After a wonderful afternoon of drinking around Fremont Street, my buddies and I decided to retire back to our hotel for some last drinks and gambling on our last night in Vegas.

My brother and I decided to go straight to the bar before finding my favorite slot machine, while the other two guys went to check out the card tables. We walked up to the back side of the bar on the gambling area side and noticed a neat lit-up touch screen that said "Smartbar" and "Press to Enter". I was like, oh this is perfect because the bartenders in this establishment were incredibly slow and really didn't care to serve us. So I walked straight up to it and pressed the screen.

To my delight, it immediately popped up with a list of well drinks. To the right of the machine was a stack of plastic cups and an ice trough (probably a good sign I wasn't supposed to be there, but whatever, this is my fuck-up). I scooped some ice into my cup and selected Crown Royale. With my credit card in-hand, I added two shots and pressed place order. To my surprise, a single shot was dispensed and it never asked for my card. I looked at my brother and said, bro this thing just gives free drinks! It looks like you're only allowed to dispense one shot at a time, but nobody seems to be waiting behind us, so let's just get 3 more to fill this cup and head over to the gambling area.

Whilst pouring these drinks, at least 2 different employees walked directly *past us to enter or leave the bar-back area. We continued to pour without a care in the world!

I finished pouring my drink and we skipped off to find our other two friends. I called one of them and happily announced this amazing discovery of a free drink dispensing machine! They of course didn't believe me, so I showed them over to it. I found out later that my friend who doesn't drink stayed where he was and apparently asked another bartender if they had a free drink service, to which she just responded, no.

As I began showing my drinking friend this miraculous machine, I began serving him. I grabbed another cup, put it under the spout, and selected Canadian Whiskey. Boom! Another perfect pour with no request for a card. As I began to select the second shot, a wonderful woman that apparently works for the casino strolled over to us, and very calmly, yelled, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU FUCKING R*****ED?" (Redacted for TIFU rules, but a derogatory word for mentally handicapped) I cannot make that up. That was her exact verbiage.

At this point, I was thoroughly confused. I attempted to explain what was going on, but this lovely lady grabbed the freshly-poured whiskey from the machine and yelled at us to leave before she called security. So we walked away, but kept glancing over where this woman was standing as she appeared to be aggressively berating the staff. I decided to head back up to my room before she tried to look for me and discover that I was staying at that hotel. We spent the rest of the evening hiding in our room and laughing about the crazy events that had just taken place.

TL;DR: I discovered a free alcoholic beverage dispenser, poured a drink, introduced my friend to the machine, then got berated and insulted by a vicious harpy of a woman, and retreated to my room without further events.

I have a picture of the machine in question if you would like to see it.
