This was a great experience. Complimentary pickup from our hotel via Humvee gave us a great view as we drove down the strip and sat in the open air back. Our driver Jon was decked out in his fatigues and was very friendly.
When we arrived we saw a parking lot full of old army equipment, including 2 helicopters, a Humvee with a huge mounted gun, an old motorbike equipped with a sidecar, and at least 10 different styles of tanks. We were encouraged to take as many pictures as we wanted and could climb on anything other than the tanks.
None of us had ever even held a gun before and, knowing that this was run by ex-military, we expected the experience to be brusk and all business. We were again pleasantly surprised when everyone was so friendly, joking, and had no judgment when we asked stupid questions.
There was a huge selection of guns and packages as can be seen on their site. I believe there were a lot more guns than we saw because I asked about which sniper rifles they had to shoot and the girl at the front desk rattled off 5 or 6 without stopping to think.
Our instructor Andrew did a great job. He knew exactly what he was doing and had us all hitting the red right away. This got us all pumped knowing that none of us would be a liability in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Finally, we were given complimentary return via Humvee to anywhere we wanted, so we headed to a different hotel than we started at.
We want to give a big thank you to everyone there. It made for a great time and a fantastic way to start our Vegas trip.
