Las Vegas has no shortage of flashy attractions, but this one swaps casino lights for eight very different firearms and a serious afternoon at the range. In roughly three and a half hours, you’ll work through handguns, submachine guns, rifles, a belt-fed M60, and a Barrett 50 Cal sniper rifle.

I like the broad lineup, which lets you compare the sharp kick of a pistol with the roar of a heavier weapon. I also like the practical setup: pickup is offered, lunch is included, and guides such as Jimmy from Scotland help keep the outing organized and entertaining.

The main consideration is the price, $499 per person, and the fact that this is not a casual sightseeing stop. You should have a moderate fitness level, follow range instructions carefully, and be comfortable with loud, powerful firearms.

Key points before you book

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - Key points before you book

  • Eight firearms in one package: The lineup includes a Glock, UZI or MP59, M4 or AK47, Remington shotgun, Tommy Gun, gold-plated Desert Eagle, M60, and Barrett 50 Cal.
  • A 3.5-hour outing: This is a substantial half-day activity rather than a quick range visit.
  • Lunch is included: The package is sold with lunch, though no menu or meal timing is specified.
  • Pickup is offered: That can make the trip easier if you do not want to arrange your own transport.
  • A strong guide element: Jimmy from Scotland is specifically associated with the experience, and range staff handle the firearms portion.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead: Poor weather can also lead to a new date or a full refund.

A full afternoon away from the Strip

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - A full afternoon away from the Strip

The Desert Storm Shooting Experience is built for people who want their Las Vegas day to include something louder and more hands-on than a show or buffet. The range visit takes about three and a half hours, so you should treat it as a half-day commitment rather than something to squeeze between two tightly scheduled attractions.

Pickup is offered, which matters in Las Vegas. You do not need to spend part of your day figuring out how to reach the range, though the available information does not specify pickup areas or exact departure times. Your confirmation should provide those details.

The experience is offered in English and comes with a mobile ticket. Confirmation is sent at booking, making the basic planning process fairly simple. Since this package is booked an average of 93 days in advance, I would not leave it until the last moment if it is one of the main activities on your trip.

The maximum group size is listed as 200 people. That is a large possible capacity, so do not assume you are booking a private or small-group session. The size of your actual departure may vary, but the stated limit tells you this is designed to handle a sizable group.

Starting with a Glock, UZI, and military-style rifles

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - Starting with a Glock, UZI, and military-style rifles

The firearm list begins with a Glock, for which you receive five rounds. This gives you a short introduction to a handgun before the package moves to larger and faster-firing weapons.

Next comes the MP59 or UZI with 25 rounds. The name is written as MP59 or UZI in the supplied details, so the exact model may depend on range availability. Either way, this part gives you a submachine-gun experience rather than a standard pistol session.

The M4 or AK47 portion also includes 25 rounds. These are two of the most recognizable rifle designs in popular culture, and having both listed as possible options adds a little uncertainty to the exact lineup. You should check the final selection with the operator if firing one specific model is important to you.

This early sequence is useful because the firearms change in feel and handling. You are not simply firing the same type of gun for several hours. Instead, you move from a compact handgun to a submachine gun and then to a larger rifle platform.

The round counts are also worth reading carefully. Five Glock rounds and 25 rounds for the submachine gun and rifle are not generous practice sessions, but the point of this package is variety. You are paying to handle and fire several distinct weapons, not to spend the afternoon shooting one firearm continuously.

The Remington shotgun and Tommy Gun

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - The Remington shotgun and Tommy Gun

The Remington shotgun includes five rounds. That is a brief portion of the outing, but shotguns have a different physical feel from pistols and rifles. The package gives you a chance to try that change without making the entire activity about one firearm.

The Tommy Gun adds 25 rounds to the lineup. Its place in American popular culture gives this stop a strong Las Vegas entertainment angle, while the range setting keeps the focus on actual shooting rather than a museum display.

The contrast between the Remington and Tommy Gun helps break up the session. You are moving through a collection of firearms with different shapes, firing styles, and histories of use. The exact order is not stated, so the range may arrange the stations according to its schedule and safety procedures.

A range officer is part of the setup. That is important for an activity involving automatic weapons and a heavy rifle. You will need to pay close attention to instructions, follow the staff’s direction at every station, and avoid treating the experience like a casual photo opportunity.

The gold-plated Desert Eagle and M60

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - The gold-plated Desert Eagle and M60

The gold-plated Desert Eagle is one of the package’s most theatrical touches. You receive three rounds, so this is a short stop, but the unusual finish gives it a distinctly Vegas character. It is less about high round volume and more about trying a memorable, showy firearm.

The M60 is the big change in scale. The package lists 20 rounds from a belt-fed M60, also described as the Rambo machine. A belt-fed weapon is one of the features that separates this outing from a basic pistol range visit, and it is likely to be one of the moments people remember most clearly.

The supplied information calls the package an opportunity to shoot fully automatic weapons. The full lineup also includes a Glock, shotgun, and Barrett 50 Cal, which are different types of firearms. The important point for you is that the activity combines automatic-fire experiences with other powerful firearms, rather than offering eight identical machine guns.

Because the M60 is heavier and more demanding than the smaller firearms, the moderate fitness recommendation deserves attention. You do not need to be an athlete based on the information provided, but you should be ready for a physical range activity and able to follow instructions for handling the equipment.

Finishing with the Barrett 50 Cal

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - Finishing with the Barrett 50 Cal

The Barrett 50 Cal sniper rifle comes at two rounds. That may sound small, but ammunition for a large-caliber rifle is a different proposition from the more generous counts assigned to the UZI, M4 or AK47, and Tommy Gun.

This is the package’s final large-scale flourish. After working through handguns, submachine guns, rifles, a shotgun, and the M60, the Barrett provides a final change in size and power. Two shots give you the chance to experience it without turning the whole afternoon into a single-rifle session.

You should think of the round counts as a tasting menu of firearms. The Glock and Barrett have only a few shots, while the middle of the package gives you more time with the UZI or MP59, M4 or AK47, and Tommy Gun. If you want long practice sessions with one gun, a dedicated range package may suit you better.

If your goal is to try as many different firearms as possible in one organized visit, the structure makes more sense. The variety is the main value.

What the guide and range staff add

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - What the guide and range staff add

A range officer is specifically praised in the supplied feedback, and that role matters here. The officer is responsible for the practical side of the experience, including helping you handle the firearms safely and move through the stations.

The tour guide also adds a social layer. Jimmy from Scotland is named as one of the guides, and the experience includes more than simply arriving at a range and receiving a lane assignment. The guide can help keep the outing moving and may also provide general information about Las Vegas.

That personal element is useful if you are giving the package as a birthday surprise or planning it for a small celebration. One booking was made as a surprise birthday present, and the format worked well for that kind of occasion. It has the feel of a planned event rather than an errand squeezed into a free hour.

Still, you should keep expectations realistic. No detailed commentary schedule is provided, and the tour is not described as a history lesson about each firearm. The main focus is shooting, with the guide helping make the day run smoothly.

Lunch, pickup, and the value of $499

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - Lunch, pickup, and the value of $499

At $499 per person, this is an expensive activity. You are not paying only for ammunition. The price covers a wide firearm lineup, range time, the guide-led format, offered pickup, and lunch as part of the package.

The value depends on what you would otherwise book. If you want to fire one or two guns for a short period, this package may feel excessive. If you would otherwise arrange several separate range sessions to try pistols, submachine guns, rifles, a shotgun, an M60, and a Barrett, the all-in-one format becomes easier to justify.

Lunch also helps make the price more understandable, though the available information does not name the restaurant, menu, or exact time of the meal. I would ask for those details if food arrangements matter to you, especially if you have dietary needs.

Pickup can save you the trouble of organizing transport, but again, the specific pickup area is not given. Confirm the meeting point and timing before you build the rest of your day around it.

A group limit of 200 means the experience can be operated at scale. That may help explain the organized format, but it also means you should not expect a private instructor dedicated only to you. The actual group size is not stated.

Who will enjoy this most

Desert Storm Shooting Experience with Lunch - Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to an adult who wants the firearm selection to be the main event. The package suits first-time range visitors who want structure, as well as experienced shooters who are interested in trying a wide mix of weapons in one day.

It also works well as a birthday gift or a planned group outing. The birthday example shows why: the activity is unusual, easy to remember, and substantial enough to fill an afternoon.

You should think twice if you dislike loud noises, feel uneasy around firearms, or want a relaxed sightseeing activity. This is not a gentle break between attractions. The description itself warns that it is not for the faint-hearted.

The moderate fitness requirement should also guide your decision. You should be comfortable taking part in a physical range session and following safety directions for different firearms. The information does not state an age minimum, clothing policy, hearing protection policy, or accessibility details, so ask 2Vegas.com before booking if any of those points affect you.

Weather, cancellation, and planning

The experience requires good weather. If poor weather causes a cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That is useful protection for a planned vacation day, though it is still smart to avoid placing this activity immediately before an important flight or event.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. The cutoff follows local Las Vegas time.

Since the experience is often booked well ahead, reserve early if your dates are fixed. Once booked, save the mobile ticket and confirmation, then check the pickup details and any instructions supplied by the operator.

Should you book the Desert Storm package?

Book it if you want a big, organized firearm sampler and can accept the $499 cost. The mix of an UZI or MP59, M4 or AK47, Tommy Gun, M60, and Barrett 50 Cal gives you more variety than a basic range visit, while pickup and lunch make it easier to treat the outing as a complete half-day plan.

Skip it if you want a low-cost shooting session, a small private group, or extended practice with one firearm. For the right person, the appeal is simple: many powerful firearms in one visit, with a guide, range staff, transport option, and lunch helping hold the day together.
