💡Can you shoot a Barrett .50 caliber in the Las Vegas desert?
Yes, this 3-hour outdoor shooting tour from the Las Vegas Strip lets you fire a Barrett .50 caliber rifle and other firearms in the Nevada desert for $159 per person. Vans pick you up at select Strip hotels, then a Range Safety Officer runs an orientation before you shoot a package of guns, two targets, and an exploding target or car. It's for ages 18 and up, from first-timers to experienced shooters, who want an outdoor range over an indoor one.

🎯 Why People Book This

Travelers book this for the desert range over a crowded indoor one, with the Strip pickup taking the rental car and the directions out of the equation. For USD 159 per person you get round-trip van transport, the safety officers and two targets, with the firearms set by which of the four packages you pick, from the 3 Gun up to the 8 Gun with the Barrett .50 caliber. The 4.9 rating across 99 reviews backs the basics. What you're really choosing here is a few hours shooting outdoors without arranging your own way there.

🗺️ The Experience

This is a 3-hour outdoor shooting trip from the Las Vegas Strip into the Nevada desert, run by Stripper Clips Machine Gun LV, starting at USD 159 per person with round-trip hotel transport included.
The three-hour window is the whole package, and it has to cover the drive out of the city and back as well as the shooting itself. That leaves the desert range as the core of your time, with the rest spent in the air-conditioned van and in the orientation a Range Safety Officer runs before you touch a firearm. The destination is open desert, sand dunes and distant mountains, rather than an indoor lane, which is the reason the trip takes a vehicle at all.
What you do on the range depends on the package you pick, and that is the real decision here. Every booking covers the range fees, two targets, ammunition for your chosen tier, ear and eye protection, a souvenir T-shirt, and bottled water. The four tiers run from a 3 Gun Package up to an 8-gun option that adds the Barrett .50 caliber and the Desert Eagle, with one tier pairing a 6-gun set and a burger. Guns offered include the Glock 19, AR-15 and Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum, plus the chance at an exploding target or car.
The base fare gets you to the desert and onto a firearm; the tier you choose decides how many you fire and how big they get.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: What you give up here is the open-air, ground-covering kind of desert day. This is firearms first, scenery second, and the people who rate it 4.9 across 94 reviews came for exactly that. It's for the traveler who wants the range itself to be the event, not a stop on a longer ride.
Worth it if:
  • shooting is the reason you're in the desert, and you'd rather spend the time on the line than covering miles on a trail
  • you want the 3 hours handled door to door from the Strip, with no rental car and no figuring out how to reach a range yourself
  • you're traveling without a vehicle and want a half-morning activity that gets you back to the city quickly
Skip it if:
  • you came to be outdoors and moving; the $130 Mojave Desert ATV trip puts you on a machine across open terrain for 4 hours, which is the better day if you want air and distance
  • a calm scenic outing is what you're after, in which case the $99 Emerald Cave kayak run fits you far better than a shooting range
Choose this over the 2-Hour Nellis Dunes ATV Ride if:
  • you want a guns-and-targets day, not a dune ride, and the extra hour on the range matters more to you than saving the time

💡 Insider Tip

The Barrett .50 Caliber rifle that headlines this tour only comes with a .50 Cal package, so if firing it is the reason you're booking, go with the 8 Gun -.50 Cal. + Desert Eagle or 6 Gun - .50 Cal + Burger tier rather than the 5 or 3 Gun options.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

4.5
LasVegasTour Rating

What you're buying here is the desert and the heavy iron you can't fire indoors, the Barrett .50 caliber and the exploding car being the whole point. The trade-off is real: the 3-hour window includes round-trip Strip pickup, so actual trigger time is a slice of that. The Glock-and-AR end of the menu you can shoot anywhere, so book this for the .50 cal or skip it. Adults only, no exceptions. The 4.9 across 99 reviews points to range officers who run it tightly.
