Las Vegas is notorious for having something for everyone – casinos, shows, five-star restaurants, and many different kinds of entertainment. Now, Sin City is offering something else for a specific group of people: machine gun enthusiasts.

Machine Guns Vegas is an upscale shooting range for people who are interested in living out their fantasies of being in an action movie.

The range’s website promises “the look and feel of an ultra-lounge with the functionality of a state of the art indoor gun range.”

“We want it to have a Melrose boutique feel to it,” Genghis Cohen, the managing partner, told the New York Times. “We will have artwork on the walls.”

Customers can buy a package that includes guns, ammunition, and a target. Each package has its own theme. Themes include movie-based ones like the MOB Package and the Femme Fatale Package, and ones inspired by real life like the Seal Team VI Package.

The packages range from $39.95 for the kids’ package (a pistol and a rifle that shoots lasers instead of rounds) to a $699 Compound Package, which includes four guns, 350 rounds of ammunition, and a VIP range.

Former military veterans supervise the ranges, Cohen told the Times. Attractive hostesses in skin-tight outfits wait on the customers, helping them select their guns.

While this is not the first shooting range in Vegas, Machine Guns Vegas has become popular with tourists, especially those who come from countries than ban weapons, the Times reported.

Customers appear to be enjoying the chance to live like they are in a movie.

“The best bachelor party ever!” one customer said in his testimonial on the website.

“It was exciting to shoot guns,” one 12-year-old boy said.
