πŸ’‘What guns do you shoot on the Vegas machine gun desert tour?
On the $239 per-person machine gun tour you fire a Glock pistol, a fully automatic MP5 and UZI, and one round from the 50 Cal Barrett sniper rifle at a private desert range outside Las Vegas, over 3.5 hours. Hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, all guns and ammo, an In-N-Out burger, and a photo and HD video package are included. Best for adults 18+ with moderate fitness who want hands-on time with powerful firearms.

🎯 Why People Book This

The appeal here comes down to firing guns most people never get near: a Glock, a fully automatic MP5 and UZI, and one round through the 50 CAL Barrett sniper rifle, out at a desert range rather than an indoor lane in town. At USD 239 per person the draw is paying for the shooting itself, not a long day out β€” it runs 3.5 hours with hotel pickup, ammo, and an In-N-Out lunch folded in. It suits someone set on the desert setting and the specific guns over a cheaper city option, who'd rather not arrange the drive or the range themselves.

πŸ—ΊοΈ The Experience

For USD 239 per person, this is a 3.5-hour shooting trip from Las Vegas that includes hotel pickup, a set round count across four firearms at a private desert range, and an In-N-Out lunch on the way back.
The base price is close to all-in, which is the thing to understand first. The 239 dollars covers the ride out in an air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel, every gun and every round you fire, the In-N-Out burger, and a photo and HD video package thrown in at no extra charge. What it does not cover is short: gratuities, and the option to make the outing private. So most of what you would otherwise pay separately at a range is already inside the ticket.
What you actually fire is fixed, not open-ended, and that matters for the price. The package is a Glock pistol for 5 rounds, a fully automatic MP5 for 25, a fully automatic UZI for 25, and a single round through the 50 CAL Barrett sniper rifle at a desert mountain range outside the city. That is a defined menu, not unlimited shooting, so the 239 dollars buys you a specific count rather than range time you fill yourself.
Of the 3.5 hours, the drive out and back eats a real share, leaving the shooting itself a tighter window. The base fare covers the guns and the ride; the only thing left to decide is whether you want the group around you or pay to go private.

πŸ€” Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: The real question isn't whether to fire a 50 cal Barrett, it's whether shooting is the day you actually want, or just the photo. This is for people who came to Vegas wanting to pull the trigger on something they can't legally touch at home, not the curious who'd be satisfied watching once. Across 27 reviews it holds a clean 5/5, which tells you the people who book it know exactly what they came for.
Worth it if:
  • firing real machine guns is a thing you've wanted to do for years, and a desert range with serious hardware is the point of the trip, not a box to tick
  • you'd rather spend 3.5 hours on one focused experience than split a half-day across a dune ride and a kayak paddle
  • the Barrett itself is the draw, and a tour built around heavy-caliber shooting beats a generic indoor range package
Skip it if:
  • you're after open-desert adrenaline and motion, in which case the $130 Mojave ATV ride gives you that for the afternoon and shooting was never really the appeal
  • you'd flinch at the recoil or the noise after a few rounds, and the curiosity wouldn't survive the actual range
Choose this over the Half-Day Mojave Desert ATV Adventure if:
  • you want one big-ticket thing done right rather than a scenic ride, and handling the 50 cal is the memory you're paying for

πŸ’‘ Insider Tip

The single Barrett round is the only shot that uses the 50 cal, so fire it last rather than burning it earlyβ€”after the Glock, MP5 and UZI you'll have a feel for the recoil before the one round you don't get a redo on.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…LasVegasTour Rating

β€œWhat you're buying here isn't really a tour, it's 56 rounds across four weapons, with the desert range and hotel pickup built around them. The math is honest: most of those rounds come from the MP5 and UZI, while the 50 CAL Barrett is a single shot, so set your expectations on that one. At $239 with lunch and the photo package included, it rewards anyone curious about machine guns; skip it if recoil and noise aren't your idea of a morning. The 5-star mark across 27 reviews suggests the small operation runs it cleanly.”
