The Tipsy Robot at the Miracle Mile Shops on the Las Vegas Strip markets itself as the first land-based bar to have robotic bartenders – the specification necessary because of Royal Caribbean’s Bionic Bar, which has robot bartenders at sea. The Tipsy Robot’s robotic arms create the perfect cocktail with the exact correct amount of everything. There are human workers on standby to help as needed, but the two robots can make around 120 drinks per hour at only 60 to 90...
