Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch

The loudest part of this Las Vegas outing is also its main attraction: you fire a broad lineup of serious firearms in one session, ending with a belt-fed M60 and a Barrett .50 cal rifle. This is not a quiet museum visit or a basic pistol lesson. It is a hands-on range package built around noise, recoil, and spectacle.

I like the wide mix of weapons, from the compact Glock and UZI to the Tommy Gun, gold-plated Desert Eagle, M4 or AK47, M60, and Barrett. I also like the practical format: pickup is offered, lunch is included, and the whole outing takes about three and a half hours. The main thing to consider is the price, $499 per person, plus the fact that this is a physically active, noisy experience that may not suit everyone.

Key points at a glance

• Eight firearms in one package: You get a Glock, UZI or MP59, M4 or AK47, Remington shotgun, Tommy Gun, gold-plated Desert Eagle, M60, and Barrett .50 cal rifle.
• A serious final act: The M60 uses a 20-round belt-fed burst, while the Barrett gives you two rounds of .50 cal shooting.
• Pickup and lunch included: The all-inclusive format makes this easier to fit into a Las Vegas day away from the Strip.
• About three and a half hours: This is a half-day outing, not a quick stop at an indoor range.
• English-language operation: Pickup is offered, and the experience is provided in English.
• Book ahead: It is booked an average of 93 days in advance, so last-minute plans may be risky.

Eight guns, one very deliberate order

The package gives you a staged run through several types of firearms. You begin with five rounds through a Glock pistol. That is the smallest and most familiar gun in the lineup, and it gives you a useful first step before moving to heavier or faster-firing weapons.

Next comes the MP59 or UZI submachine gun, with 25 rounds. The listing uses both names, so you should confirm the exact firearm available on your date. Either way, this part shifts the experience from individual pistol shots to a compact automatic weapon with a very different rhythm.

The M4 or AK47 follows, with 25 rounds. Again, the exact rifle can vary between the two listed options. This is one of the package’s main draws, since you get a chance to handle a rifle platform that many people know from films, news coverage, or military history.

You then fire five rounds through a Remington shotgun. The round count is small, but that is sensible. A shotgun delivers a sharp, heavy kick, and five shots provide a taste without making this portion drag.

The Tommy Gun gets 25 rounds. Its old-school shape gives the session a bit of period character, but the appeal is still practical: you are firing another automatic weapon with its own weight and handling style. If you are drawn to the classic American image of the Thompson, this is one of the most distinctive stops.

The gold-plated Desert Eagle receives three rounds. The gold finish is clearly part of the Las Vegas showmanship, and the limited ammunition keeps this unusual pistol as a short feature rather than the center of the day.

The M60 is the package’s big theatrical moment. You get 20 rounds from a belt-fed machine gun associated with the Rambo image. The ammunition count is modest, but the weapon itself is the point. A belt-fed gun feels and sounds very different from the pistols and rifles earlier in the session.

Finally, you fire two rounds from a Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. Two rounds may sound limited, but .50 cal ammunition and the rifle’s size make this a memorable finale. You should see this as a sample of a powerful specialty rifle, not a long precision-shooting class.

Why the running order matters

This is not eight unrelated guns thrown into a pile. The order moves from a handgun to compact automatic weapons, rifles, a shotgun, historic-style firepower, and then the largest firearms in the package.

That progression gives you time to adjust to the basic mechanics before reaching the guns that create the biggest physical and sensory impact. I like this approach because a first-time shooter can get oriented without starting at the most intimidating point.

Still, do not mistake the package for a detailed firearms course. You get a set number of rounds with each weapon, and the focus is on trying the lineup rather than building a long practice session with one gun. If your goal is slow instruction, target improvement, or a formal shooting lesson, this may feel too fast.

The phrase fully automatic also needs a little care. The package includes several automatic firearms, but the Glock and Remington shotgun are listed separately and are not described as fully automatic. The more accurate way to think about the experience is eight different firearms, several of them automatic, with a few high-powered showpieces included.

What the range portion may feel like

The range officer is an important part of the day. The supplied experience details identify a range officer as part of the session, and a published account specifically praises the officer’s work. That matters more here than polished entertainment. With firearms this powerful, clear instructions and calm control are essential.

You should expect noise, recoil, and an active session. The requirement for a moderate physical fitness level is worth taking seriously. You may need to move around the range area, handle firearms of different weights, and remain attentive through a long sequence of shooting.

The experience is not for the faint hearted, and that warning is fair. Even if you are comfortable with ordinary recreational shooting, the M60 and Barrett bring a different scale to the day. I would avoid booking this as a casual surprise for someone who has never expressed interest in firearms, unless you know they are comfortable with loud, forceful shooting environments.

The maximum capacity is listed as 200 people. That is a large possible number, although it does not tell you the size of your particular departure or firing group. If a small, quiet range session is important to you, ask 2Vegas.com about the expected group size before booking.

Pickup turns it into a half-day outing

Pickup is offered, which is useful in Las Vegas. You do not have to build a separate transport plan around the range, and the package can work as an afternoon away from the central casino area.

The complete activity lasts about three hours and 30 minutes. Add the pickup and return journey, and you should protect a substantial part of your day. Do not schedule a show, dinner reservation, airport transfer, or another fixed appointment too tightly around it.

The guide named in the published feedback is Jimmy from Scotland. His role appears to include guiding the outing and adding general Las Vegas conversation, while the range officer handles the firearm side. That combination is helpful: you get a host for the day and a specialist focused on safe range operation.

The tour is offered in English. If you need another language, the supplied details do not promise one, so ask before paying.

Lunch adds practical value

Lunch is included, but no menu or restaurant details are provided. That means you should value it mainly as a convenience rather than book this for a particular meal.

A meal helps break up a shooting session and saves you from finding food during a fixed half-day schedule. It also makes the $499 price easier to assess, since the cost covers more than ammunition and range time.

Still, lunch does not erase the cost difference between this package and a shorter shooting activity. I would compare the total number of rounds, the firearms included, pickup, and the meal together. The strongest value comes if you want variety and convenience, especially if you have one day in Las Vegas and want a packaged outing rather than separate arrangements.

Is $499 a fair price?

At $499 per person, this is a premium Las Vegas activity. The price makes more sense for someone who specifically wants a broad machine-gun experience, not someone simply curious about firing one handgun.

You are paying for eight listed firearms, a substantial ammunition selection, the M60 and Barrett finale, transport assistance, lunch, and roughly three and a half hours of organized time. The 20 M60 rounds and 25 rounds each for the UZI or MP59, M4 or AK47, and Tommy Gun give the package its strongest numerical value.

The weaker value points are the small allocations for the Glock, shotgun, Desert Eagle, and Barrett. You get five Glock rounds, five shotgun rounds, three Desert Eagle rounds, and two Barrett rounds. Those guns are included as memorable samples, not extended shooting sessions.

For a birthday gift, the price may feel easier to justify because the package has a clear sense of occasion. One published account describes it being bought as a surprise birthday present, with the recipients enjoying the day. The range officer and Jimmy were singled out positively, which supports the idea that good staff can make the difference between a confusing gun package and a well-run one.

The experience carries a published rating of 5 out of 5 from 16 ratings, with 100 percent recommending it. That is a small sample, so I would treat it as encouraging rather than final proof. The specific praise is useful: pickup timing, the weapon selection, the range setup, the range officer, and Jimmy’s hosting all received attention.

Who will get the most from this day?

I would recommend it to you if you want the most varied firearm package available in one organized outing. It works especially well for adults who already enjoy firearms, fans of military-style weapons, and people looking for an unusual birthday gift away from the casino floor.

It also suits visitors who value an all-in-one plan. Pickup, lunch, an English-speaking guide, and a fixed three-and-a-half-hour schedule remove much of the planning work.

I would hesitate if you are mainly interested in a calm first introduction. The package is built around spectacle and variety, and the heavy weapons may feel like too much. I would also hesitate if your budget is tight, since $499 is a major share of a Las Vegas vacation budget.

The moderate fitness requirement and weather condition deserve attention. The experience requires good weather and may be canceled if conditions are poor. In that case, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time, but cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.

How to prepare for the range

Wear something that lets you remain comfortable and attentive for several hours. The supplied details do not list a dress code, so I would keep your choice practical rather than treating this like a quick photo stop.

Plan around the full half-day. Pickup timing, the shooting session, lunch, and the return trip can take more of your schedule than the stated three hours and 30 minutes alone.

Most of all, arrive ready to listen. The attraction is the firepower, but the quality of the experience depends on following the range officer’s instructions. Do not book this for someone who dislikes loud noises, strong recoil, or the handling of real firearms.

Should you book Desert Storm?

Book it if the words M60, Tommy Gun, and Barrett .50 cal are the reason you came to Las Vegas. The package gives you an impressive spread of firearms, practical pickup, lunch, and a guide-led format in about half a day.

Skip it if you want a low-cost introduction, a quiet lesson, or a longer session with one favorite gun. At $499, this is a specialist splurge. For the right person, especially as a birthday surprise, the M60 and Barrett finale make the price easier to defend. For everyone else, the limited rounds on some weapons may not offer enough time behind each firearm.
