Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package

The most unusual part of this Las Vegas outing is the combination: you spend the morning racing a mile-long desert course, then head to a private outdoor range with military-style bunkers to fire full automatic weapons. The setting has a playful Mad Max feel, but the driving includes one-on-one instruction and proper safety gear.

I like the live coaching headset, which lets an instructor talk you through the seven laps as you handle the vehicle. I also like the choice of a race truck, buggy, or Razor, plus the non-driver option for anyone who wants to watch rather than take the wheel. The guides, including Vick and range instructor Ernie, add useful local and firearm knowledge to the ride.

The main drawback is the price: at $621.71 per person, this is a costly half-day. The schedule also starts early, at 7:00 a.m., and the no-change, no-refund policy means you need to be certain before booking.

Key points to know before you book

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - Key points to know before you book

  • Seven laps on a pro-style dirt track: The one-mile course has seven major turns and six jumps, giving you repeated chances to improve after coaching.
  • Three ways to drive: Choose a race truck, buggy, or Razor, depending on the package and your preferred style of off-road vehicle.
  • Automatic weapons at an outdoor range: The shooting stop uses a private range, military-style bunkers, and a Desert Storm setting.
  • Non-driver tickets are available: You can join your group, watch the driving, and take part in the rest of the outing without driving yourself.
  • Lunch and transport are included: Strip hotel pickup, drop-off, a burger with fries and soda, safety equipment, and lunch are part of the package.
  • Small group size: The tour is limited to a maximum of 14 people, which matters when you need instructor attention.

A wild morning beyond the Las Vegas Strip

Las Vegas is usually sold through neon, casino floors, and polished shows. This trip gives you a very different morning. After pickup from most Strip hotels, you head away from the resort core toward a desert setting built for noise, dust, engines, and target shooting.

The drive itself is part of the outing. Vick has been praised for explaining local sights and history along the way, so the transfer is not simply dead time in a vehicle. You may also get useful background on the firearms before reaching the range, especially if this is your first time handling automatic weapons.

The group size can reach 14 people. That is large enough to create a social outing, but still small enough for a structured activity with instructors. Ask your hotel pickup to be confirmed in advance, since you need to call the reservation line 24 hours before the booking to arrange your pickup and verify the hotel location.

The stated start time is 7:00 a.m. That early hour helps fit driving, shooting, lunch, and transport into roughly four hours, but it may not suit a late night in Las Vegas. Plan to be ready before pickup rather than trying to rush downstairs at the last moment.

Seven laps on a one-mile dirt course

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - Seven laps on a one-mile dirt course

The off-road section is the heart of the package. The course runs for about one mile and includes seven major turns and six jumps. You complete seven laps, giving you time to learn the vehicle instead of getting only one quick run before the activity ends.

The course is influenced by professional racing tracks, but this is not presented as a professional race or a timed competition. Your goal is to drive as fast as your skill allows while listening to the instructor. That distinction matters. The appeal is the feel of racing, not proving that you are the fastest person in the group.

The onboard headset is one of the strongest parts of the design. An instructor can provide live guidance while you drive, which is far more useful than receiving a safety briefing and then being sent around the course alone. If you brake too early, approach a turn poorly, or need help with the jumps, the live connection gives you a chance to adjust during the session.

Seven laps also make the activity more approachable for beginners. Your first lap can be about learning the controls and reading the course. Later laps should feel more natural as you understand the turns and the rhythm of the track.

Still, you should expect a physical, dusty activity rather than a gentle sightseeing ride. The six jumps are described as extreme, and the course is designed around speed and rough driving. Closed-toe shoes are required, with running shoes or sneakers recommended. Wear something practical that you will not mind using around dirt and outdoor equipment.

Choosing a truck, buggy, Razor, or spectator spot

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - Choosing a truck, buggy, Razor, or spectator spot

You can choose from a race truck, buggy, or Razor. The information provided does not spell out the exact differences between every vehicle or guarantee a particular model, so ask the operator what is available for your date and package if the vehicle choice is important to you.

A truck may appeal to you if you want a larger, more substantial off-road machine. A buggy or Razor may suit you if you prefer a more open feel and a closer connection to the track. Those are general impressions rather than promises about the exact vehicles, so treat the choice as a preference to discuss with the operator.

The non-driver package is a useful feature for mixed groups. Someone who does not want to drive can still join the tour and watch the action. This keeps a bachelor party, family group, or collection of friends from having to split up for the whole morning.

The non-driver option also makes the price question more complicated. A non-driver may pay less than someone behind the wheel, but the supplied information does not list separate prices. Check the exact rate before booking, especially if some people in your party plan to drive and others do not.

Drivers must be at least 18 and must show photo identification at pickup. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed, but pregnant women cannot take part because of safety concerns.

A private range with automatic weapons

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - A private range with automatic weapons

The shooting portion takes place at a private outdoor range in a desert setting with military-style bunkers. The atmosphere is designed to feel like a Desert Storm training area, which gives this part of the day a strong visual identity rather than making it feel like an indoor shooting booth.

The package includes your choice of outdoor shooting package, but the supplied information does not list every package level or the exact firearms included in each one. One group selected a Bronze package, while another described firing handguns, mini machine guns, assault rifles, and a .50-caliber sniper rifle. Do not assume every weapon is included in every package. Confirm your chosen package before paying.

The firearms instruction is a major part of the appeal. Ernie is singled out for being an engaged and helpful range instructor, especially for people who had never fired automatic weapons before. Vick also explains the firearms and their handling, giving you more context than simply loading a weapon and waiting for your turn.

That guidance matters because the shooting stop is not just a photo opportunity. You need to listen carefully, follow range commands, and handle the equipment as instructed. The setting may look theatrical, but firearm safety is serious business.

The range has also been praised for guns that ran reliably, which helps avoid wasting a short session on equipment problems. Photos may be captured during the activity, but the supplied details do not state whether they are included in the price or sold separately. Ask before assuming you will receive a photo package.

Lunch after the noise

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - Lunch after the noise

A world-famous burger, fries, and soda are included. That is a simple meal, but it fits the day well. After several laps over a rough course and time at an outdoor range, a hot, familiar lunch is more welcome than an elaborate sit-down meal that would stretch the schedule.

The food also adds practical value to the package. You do not need to arrange a separate lunch in the middle of an activity far from the Strip. One account specifically praised the burger and fries, so you can expect the meal to be treated as part of the fun rather than an afterthought.

Do not book this for a culinary outing. Lunch is fuel and a convenient finish to the active portions. If you have dietary restrictions, ask the operator what alternatives are available, since no other meal choices are provided in the tour details.

The monster truck limo ride

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - The monster truck limo ride

The package includes a free ride on the world’s largest monster truck limo, identified as a Guinness Book of World Records vehicle. This is an extra flourish, but it helps give the tour a playful Las Vegas finish.

The information does not specify exactly when the ride happens or how long it lasts. It may be incorporated into the transport or offered around the main activities, so ask the staff about the timing when you arrive. Either way, it is a distinctive extra that adds more than a standard shuttle would.

Pickup and drop-off at most Las Vegas Strip hotels are included. That saves you from arranging a rental car or finding your own way to a remote desert facility. Hotel coverage is described as most Strip hotels, not every hotel in the Las Vegas area, so confirm your location before the day of the tour.

Is $621.71 per person good value?

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - Is $621.71 per person good value?

At $621.71 per person, this is one of the more expensive half-day activities you can book in Las Vegas. The price makes more sense if you plan to use the driving, shooting, lunch, safety equipment, guided transport, and monster truck ride as one package.

You are paying for several separate components that would otherwise require different bookings: desert transport, a guided off-road session, access to a private range, firearm instruction, ammunition associated with the selected shooting package, lunch, and return transport. The provided details do not break out the individual costs, so you cannot make a precise line-by-line comparison.

The strongest value comes for someone who genuinely wants both motorsports and shooting. If you are interested in only one of those activities, the combined package may feel expensive. A non-driver package can help a mixed group, but you still need to compare its price with the amount of time you expect to spend watching.

The four-hour duration is efficient. You can fit a major activity into a morning and still have much of the day left for Las Vegas. The tradeoff is a packed schedule, with little room for delays or long relaxed stops.

The tour is booked an average of 46 days in advance, which suggests you should not wait until the last minute if your dates are fixed. That is especially important for a small-capacity activity with a maximum of 14 people.

What the guides add to the day

Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package - What the guides add to the day

Vick is the guide name that comes up repeatedly in the available comments about the outing. His role appears to cover the transfer, local sights, firearm background, and general hosting. That range is useful because the tour moves between several unrelated activities, and a good guide helps the day feel connected.

Ernie works at the shooting range and is described as a natural teacher. That is exactly what you want when the group includes people who have never used automatic weapons. Clear instruction can make the difference between feeling lost and getting something meaningful from the short range session.

Jason is also named as part of the team on one outing. The guides are described as friendly, funny, and helpful, with particular praise for customer service and firearm explanations. The exact staff lineup can change, so treat these names as useful expectations, not a guarantee that every person will be present on your date.

The most highly praised feature is not one gun or one jump. It is the human guidance. You get live coaching on the track and hands-on instruction at the range, which makes the package more accessible to first-timers while still giving experienced shooters and drivers something to enjoy.

Practical details that can make or break the morning

Bring government-issued photo identification if you are driving. You must be 18 or older to drive, and the ID check takes place at pickup.

Wear closed-toe shoes. Running shoes or sneakers are specifically recommended, and sandals are not suitable for a course with jumps and rough driving.

Pregnant women cannot participate because of safety concerns. Children under 18 need a parent or legal guardian with them, and the activity states that most people can take part.

The experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. That makes weather and personal scheduling important. If poor weather forces the operator to cancel, you will be offered another date or a full refund. If the minimum number is not met, you will be offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

Because you must call 24 hours before the reservation, do not leave pickup details until the morning of the tour. Confirm the hotel, pickup point, and vehicle choice if that choice matters to you.

Who should book this Las Vegas adventure?

I would recommend it to an adult who wants action rather than another casino or bus excursion. It works especially well for a bachelor party, a small group of friends, or a mixed party where some people want to drive and others prefer to watch.

First-time shooters should not feel excluded, provided they can follow instructions and meet the age and safety rules. The range staff are set up to teach, and the driving instructor communicates with you during the laps.

Experienced shooters may appreciate the range selection, but they should check the exact shooting package before booking. The same applies to serious off-road fans who care about vehicle type, track conditions, or competitive timing. This is a guided recreational outing, not a professional racing school.

I would think twice if you dislike loud engines, rough movement, desert dust, firearms, or early starts. I would also avoid booking if your Las Vegas schedule is uncertain, since the cancellation terms are strict.

Should you book it?

Book this if you want a single, tightly packed morning that combines off-road driving, outdoor shooting, lunch, and unusual transport. The live headset coaching, small maximum group size, and strong guide presence make it more approachable than an unguided track session or a bare-bones range visit.

Skip it if $621.71 feels too high for four hours, or if you want a relaxed desert tour. Before paying, confirm the shooting package, vehicle choice, pickup hotel, and non-driver price. For the right group, this is a memorable way to trade the Strip for dust, jumps, target lanes, and a monster truck limo.
