No more free soda at M Resort

Free soda is no more at the M Resort.

Or rather, the multiple free soda fountains that launched the casino a bit over a year ago are now missing.

Unique to the Las Vegas area, one could pop by the M and pick up a complimentary beverage without being required to gamble.

And that’s the reason they were removed, with locals coming in with their families and abusing the perk by filling up Big Gulp cups with free soda and wandering the casino. Or patrons not purchasing a drink at the restaurants because they could grab a free one just a few yards away.

But players can still get free drinks via the cocktail waitress, just like other casinos.

Whether the removal of this small benefit is the sign of things to come remains to be seen, but it’s one less reason to travel down to M.

Soda at The Vig deli used to be $1, with the soda fountain right outside.  With the fountain gone, beverages increased to $2.29.
