Why are hotel mini bars so expensive? -

Because they have to make money somehow.They want you to go out and get drunk elsewhere, maybe in the lobby bar/restaurant. And when you return to your room, you will them continue drinking and when you wake up, you will owe them a nice sum of money.And they cater towards certain hotel customers who are willing to spend money on the mini bar, and by doing this they never leave their room.

You are a trapped market. It s like going to an NFL game and spending $12 on a paper cup of beer. Where else are you really going to go, especially if you re half-looped and don t want to drive?

Because they are so convenient.
