but not so nowadays at the Mondrian South Beach, in Miami, world of luxury: Front desk manager James Bryant III, shows off the Semi Automatic vending machine at the Mondrian Beach Hotel the machine, which is in the hotel lobby, is a 21st century makeover of an Automat, behind the glass is row upon row of white, high-gloss boxes, identical but for the descriptions: 'Sunset Dinner Yacht Cruise for 2', 'Sony PSP-2000, Black,' '2000 Bentley Azure Convertible,' and 'Gunpowder Tea Candle.' 'When admirers ask where you bought your 2003 Bentley Arnage convertible, we dare you to say you bought it from a vending machine,' reads the $90,000 car's description,
Screen displays show details of a $90,000 Bentley
you can also buy things like a Jean Paul Gaultier dress - or a set of 24 carat gold handcuffs, it peddles a jumble of more than 60 items priced between $10 and $1.2 million in a large, sleek rectangular display, I know it means you do not to leave the hotel, but in the case of the Bentley I would like a test drive!
