When arriving at McCarran Int. Airport (Las Vegas) one of the transportation options is the shuttle/limo services there. Along the West side of the baggage facility there are roughly 8 shuttle/limo service companies that for a flat fee will transport visitors to a Strip hotel for about $6 and to a Downtown hotel for about $7. (Off-strip locations like The Orleans, Palms, Gold Coast, Rio, Palace Station and others, run about $7.)
The point of this description is that there are two levels of cost (barring a round-trip deal). At least three of those companies now use advertising chips, in two colors, to represent those costs as "tickets". A patron pays the fare, gets the appropriate colored chip and them hands it over to the driver. The driver then turns the chips in at the end of his/her shift for accounting purposes.
I've previously shown scans of the chips used by Las Vegas Limosines (LVL) (same both sides and in orange and black) and CLS Nevada (same both sides in pink and black). This scan includes those chips, and the newest addition to the McCarran Shuttle Fleet, Ritz Transportation (both sides different, in red and black).
