Snapchat Spectacles pop-up vending machine now in Las Vegas — VIDEO

Rock bands and singers of all genres book Las Vegas residencies year-round. Now, a different kind of residency is in full swing on a tiny portion of The Linq Promenade.

A Snapbot has arrived in Las Vegas, where it will spend a few weeks capturing memories — your memories — with sunglasses you can purchase.

Created by Snapchat’s Snap Inc., the interactive yellow vending machine is hard to miss. It sells but one item, Spectacles, which, with a push of a button, records a 10- to 30-second, circular-framed video of your perspective that imports straight to your Snapchat’s Memories section.

The video-filming shades only work if you have a Snapchat account. However, they are compatible for both Android and iOS devices, and the “snaps” transfer to your phone via Wi-Fi or through the glasses’ Bluetooth connection.

Snapbot is located near Flour & Barley Brick Oven Pizza and offers Spectacles in black, coral or teal. Attendants are on hand to demonstrate the eyewear and walk customers through the purchasing process. The Snapbot is available from 10 a.m. to midnight through summer. Spectacles are also available at spectacles.com and shipped to the U.S. and some European countries.

The Linq Promenade, 3545 Las Vegas Blvd. South, caesars.com.
