Experience the Outdoors: Las Vegas’ Ultimate Shooting Adventure
Imagine stepping out into the Nevada desert, surrounded by the vastness of the outdoor range, with a friendly guide helping you handle more than 80 different guns. For $160 per person, you get a roughly 4-hour adventure that combines safety, education, and plenty of action. And yes, this includes round-trip transportation from your hotel, making logistics one less thing to worry about.
What makes this tour stand out? First, the variety of firearms—from classic Western revolvers to fully-automatic weapons—means everyone from beginners to seasoned shooters can find a favorite. Second, the climate-controlled firing line ensures comfort regardless of whether you’re there in the blazing summer or chilly winter.
A couple of considerations: the experience length feels just right for a full morning or afternoon of fun, but if you’re a gun enthusiast craving a longer session, you might want to look at longer or more intensive options. Also, this experience is designed to be accessible for most, but minimum age is 18, and participants should be prepared for the physical handling of firearms, regardless of experience level.
Who is this for? If you’re in Vegas for a quick trip and want an authentic, hands-on activity that’s safe, well-guided, and genuinely exciting, this is a strong choice. Families, groups of friends, or solo travelers with a sense of adventure will all find something to enjoy here.

When we first arrived at the Adrenaline Mountain range, we appreciated the personalized safety briefing. Here, you learn how to handle your chosen firearms properly, with ear and eye protection provided, which is standard but essential. Our instructor, cheerful and patient, explained recoil and safety tips in a way that made even first-timers feel confident.
Once suited up, we headed to the climate-controlled firing line—it’s a refreshing touch, especially given Las Vegas’ temperature swings. The range boasts about 24 steel targets set from close range to an impressive 200 yards, giving everyone plenty of options for shooting styles and distances.
The choice of guns is what truly sets this experience apart. From revolvers and shotguns to machine guns and sniper rifles, the variety is staggering. We loved the ability to pick and try different weapons, which the guides helped us with, explaining the operation of each gun along the way. As one reviewer put it, “the staff were very friendly and welcoming, making you feel comfortable,” which really helped us relax and enjoy the process.
The pace of shooting is leisurely—there’s no pressure to move quickly. You can take multiple shots per firearm, and the guides are eager to help improve your technique. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get to try exciting add-ons like explosive targets or even a flamethrower, which some reviewers found “better than expected.”

The base $160 price tag covers your shooting package, which includes a certain number of guns selected at booking, as well as ammunition and safety gear. Many reviews emphasize the value for money—for what you get, it’s a solid deal in Vegas.
However, some reviews mention that certain high-end guns, like the .50 Caliber, cost extra—this is an optional upgrade, not included in the standard package. Be aware that if you want to shoot specific firearms not included in your package, you’ll need to pay additional fees, which can add up.
That said, many folks, including one reviewer who tried 12 different guns, felt they got their money’s worth after trying a wide variety.
