Want to drive a tank or shoot a howitzer? Here’s how

Daniel Sharp

Las Vegas is the adult playground of the world. You can shoot machine guns from a helicopter, drive a tank, and even fire a howitzer.

Battlefield Vegas offers a myriad of bad ass things to shoot. From the battlefields of WWII, to the current stage of military advancements, anything can be recreated within (and without) the walls of Battlefield Vegas.

The range ranked #1 for “Fun and Games” in Las Vegas, by TripAdvisor in 2017. Battlefield Vegas earned this title by offering the “largest collection of U.S. and foreign weapons available for public use in the United States,” only a block from the City’s strip.

The inventory available at the range is so large, it’s practically guaranteed that any decision about what to do will be a tough one. One thing is for sure though.

The “Car Tank Crush” is one of the most badass experience packages of all time. With a 24 hour notice, Battlefield Vegas will prepare an M1A1 Abrams tank replica (formerly a British Chieftain Mk8), and a car to crush with it.

Without the tank, please

If this isn’t convincing you so far, check out the historical packages that Battlefield offers. Some of these package options are: the “Battle of Iwo Jima Experience,” the “Defending Stalingrad Experience,” and the “Pvt. Ryan Experience.” All of these various packages include guns related to the experience, providing visitors with a firsthand glimpse at the weapons used throughout history.

The range also offers video game inspired experience packages, as well as the option for a completely-customized visit.

To top off all of these great options, a complementary Humvee entourage will pick up customers when they’re ready to head to the range. That’s right; a envoy of Humvees will show up right outside any hotel on the strip in order to shuttle visitors.
