| - I always thought good places would have more reviews, I was certainly skeptical at first because there is only like 13 reviews as of today (2012 08 13), but me and my friend took a leap of faith, (wasn't much of a leap since we could've just went somewhere else), and came to Guns and Ammo Garage.
Not too sure the building is well insulated; in the parking lot, you can hear the shots being fired. It's a gun range though, why would it be surprising? (Also in the gun range it is a bit warmer inside). Regardless it was really easy to get to, right behind the Luxor on the other side of the I-15, and I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about, we found parking easily... but then we went in on a Thursday afternoon so there wasn't that many people.
As we walked in we were greeted and was essentially directed towards the back where we were greeted yet again, and asked if we, "wanted to shoot." We were shown packages on what is worth getting (they have individual guns too but packages weren't too bad), and the ladies behind the desk didn't mind answering our 50 million questions and still showed a super friendly attitude when we placed what we were gonna get.
Ladies package, I know, but it was worth every penny, and the ladies behind the desk say many guys order the ladies package too, so it don't look too terrible. It came with a choice of a 9mm handgun (I choose a HK-USP, my friend choose the Glock), a P90, 2 targets, and a t-shirt. The handguns came with 20 rounds; the P90 came with 50 rounds. They gave us the earmuffs, and the glasses and we waited.
Waiting area isn't too bad, I can't say its 5 stars nice, but it's clean and that's what really matters. There is glass wall between the actual place to shoot and the waiting area, but you can still hear everyone shooting the guns. There are Range Safety Officers that actually assist patrons in form, stance, loading a gun, and everything. Some places are rent a gun, lane and have fun.
Anyways, Kurt showed us to the stations, what guns we were using, stance, form, how to shoot, safety's, and answered all our questions. I actually kinda am jealous of him because his charisma is outstanding, I know it may sound like me blowing him up, but he was knowledgeable, friendly, down to earth and always smiling. Knew what he was doing. To be able to upkeep that attitude all day especially dealing with people like me (joke! no? okay), dang I wish I could learn from him.
We shot our rounds, apparently I suck at shooting, but after we were done, we returned outside to the waiting area to pay, returned headgear/glasses, got the shirt included in the package and left. Great facility, and even greater employees. Guest Services, especially great guest services is really hard to find, and it can make or break an establishment. (I feel like I was treated more as a guest than a customer :D )
(I went back before I left town to ask for the guy we had's name (Kurt) so I can refer friends, and all the lovely members of yelp. Its better to go to someone you know that provides kick-ass service than to take a leap of faith [I took one at the blackjack table, cost me 50 bucks lol])
LASTLY!! As I am writing this review (2012 08 03) they are offering $5 off for checking in on YELP.
Ask for Kurt as your safety officer, I can bet everyone else is pretty cool but yea ask for him, you won't be disappointed.
Cheers! I'll definitely be back when I can afford another trip to vegas.
