Swap the Casino Floor for a Climate-Controlled Firing Line in the Mojave
Adrenaline Mountain's private desert range, about 40 minutes from the Strip, with an instructor at your shoulder for every gun.
Adrenaline Mountain runs this range on about 400 acres of its own desert in the old Yellow Pine Mining District, out past Goodsprings. The gate sits near 4,600 feet, which the operator says keeps it roughly 10°F cooler than the Strip.
The draw is the gun list. The listing runs from handguns, shotguns and Western guns to sniper rifles, big-caliber guns and fully automatic rifles, and you choose your own lineup from it. No experience is needed, and the range says it has hosted thousands of first-time shooters.
The listing prices each package per person: USD 160 for 3 guns, USD 265 for 6, then USD 100 more for every three guns after that, up to USD 765 for 21. The 3-gun package must include a handgun and does not include the hotel shuttle on its own; the listing says it qualifies only when booked with another package or as two or more 3-gun packages. Every other package includes hotel pickup and drop-off.

The firing bays have a roof overhead and open desert in front. The operator lists industrial fans and AC units on the line, and the listing says it is heated in winter. Downrange sit dozens of steel targets at different distances out to 200 yards, and each hit pings back to the bench.
Exploding targets come with the sniper-rifle picks, according to the range. Photos and video are welcome on the line.
An Instructor Beside You for Every Gun
It starts with a personal orientation and a safety briefing, then eye and ear protection. The listing has your instructor walk you through handling and what to expect from each firearm, with no rush. The range calls these staff Range Safety Officers and says one stays beside you for every round.
Each gun comes with its own round count. The range's FAQ puts most full-auto rifles at 20 rounds, most handguns at 6 to 15, shotguns at 4 to 5 shells and sniper rifles at 5. The range times each package at about 45 to 60 minutes. Travelers on the 3-gun package describe the shooting itself as ten to twenty minutes.
The same FAQ lists six specialty guns as paid add-ons to its 3-, 6- and 9-gun packages: the Barrett .50, the Savage .338 Lapua, the M2 .50 cal and the belt-fed M60, M249 and 1919. The range's price list charges USD 100 per gun for the Barrett, M60, M249 and 1919 add-ons and USD 300 for the M2. Guns sometimes go down for maintenance, and staff will steer you to the closest match.
Getting There by Hotel Van or by Waze
Pickups run at 8:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and the time you book is the time the van collects you. The driver calls about 30 minutes ahead with the exact moment to be outside, and the range says the van cannot wait for latecomers. Shuttles pick up at most Strip hotels and at the Golden Nugget downtown. Ask hotel staff where the shuttle buses load, and allow the 15 to 20 minutes the range estimates for the walk from your room through the casino to the pickup area.
Everyone rides back in the same van. The range says total time depends on how many activities you book and the size of the group. Travelers between 2018 and 2024 describe waiting for others on the same van who had booked bigger gun packages or off-road runs, and one 2023 outing stretched to four and a half hours. Leave slack before a checkout or a flight.
Driving out is allowed, and parking at the range is free. The listing asks drivers to navigate with Waze and to skip Google Maps, and it warns of a 4-mile dirt road. To avoid that stretch, ask at booking for a free lift from the Pioneer Saloon, 310 NV-161 in Goodsprings.
Age, Drinks and What to Wear
This listing sets the minimum age at 18, and the range asks adults for a valid government-issued photo ID. Anyone who has been drinking in the 3 hours before their shoot time, or who appears intoxicated, can be refused with no refund. The listing does not recommend the outing for pregnant travelers, travelers with spinal injuries or anyone with poor cardiovascular health.
- Closed-toe shoes are required, and the range advises against low-cut tops because of hot shells flying off the guns.
- Each shooter needs their own package. Guns are not shared.
- Gratuities are not included in any package.
- The listing marks the outing wheelchair accessible, but the range's FAQ, shooting and directions pages say nothing about access. If you use a wheelchair, call the range before you book.

Bring sunscreen, water and a light layer. The range suggests dressing for the day's weather even with the climate-controlled line, and travelers who went in late fall and winter describe the shade turning cold. The range supplies the guns, the ammunition and the eye and ear protection.
