It would appear that there is now another option to add to my previous post ‘What is the best way to travel around Las Vegas?’ .

The ‘Deuce’ is about to get some competition. Vegas.com, the travel and booking website owned by the Greenspun Family of Companies, launched its "Arrow," a high-tech alternative that goes door-to-door to hotel-casinos on the Strip and downtown and costs $2.50 per ride.

The buses feature touch-screen monitors that allow passengers to buy show tickets and make restaurant reservations along the way. For $10, passengers can ride the bus and Las Vegas Monorail all day.

Vegas.com chief executive Howard Lefkowitz said the service, which runs morning to midnight, is expected to carry 2,000 to 5,000 tourists a day.

In comparison, the Deuce carried about 30,500 a day last year, while the monorail took about 24,500 a day in the third quarter.                                                               Courtesy of The Canadian Press

Seems like a reasonable option. I have tried to double check on the price as the day pass seems to be an insanely good deal. But here is the link to the actual Arrow website.
