Lux Delux, a free iPhone app that accepts takeout and delivery orders in Las Vegas, is expanding its scope.
Lux Delux began last year with mostly takeout deliveries from downtown restaurants. But in late April, the app delivery service began delivering items from Costco Wholesale Corp. warehouses. A Costco delivery costs $12.99, while the restaurant delivery fee is $9.99. There is no minimum or maximum amount on an order.
Lux Delux has 15 different vehicles, ranging from bicycles to vans. It’s also serving sports venues, deploying delivery people to bring concession stand hot dogs and beer to fans at Cashman Field for Big League Weekend in mid-March.
Lux Delux plans to debut at the Thomas &Mack Center with concession deliveries this summer when USA Basketball comes to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas arena.
