In Las Vegas, a tourist should be prepared to open his wallet. Especially a lot during the F1 weekend.

The casino city of Las Vegas is known as a place where money gets you and horses get you there. Pihi’s life in the casino city remains poor.
The arrival of the formula circus in Nevada means an opportunity for local entrepreneurs to extort a little extra money from tourists with the help of the formula drug. The saying “it’s not the fool who asks, but the one who pays” fits Las Vegas perfectly.
How does a drink for example 135 dollars or 124 euros sound? On top of that, sipped from a shoe!
This is not a joke, but a way for the Bellagio casino and hotel to finance the F1 star Daniel Ricciardo launching in a shoey drink style. In recent years, the Australian driver got into the habit of sipping a sparkling drink from his sweaty driving shoe on the podium. The disgusting habit quickly gained cult popularity.
After all, Bellagio serves a drink from a clean driving shoe. For those who pay for an expensive drink, the knowledge that they get to keep the shoe brings a little joy.
There is also a cheaper option for people with an exact mark. Drinking from an inferior shoe costs “only” 70 dollars, or 64 euros.
It is not known whether the drink can be bought for your own shoe.
