I found American Shooting Supply and Gun to be a much better place with a larger selection of guns and cheaper prices. It’s in West Las Vegas on the other side of the 15 freeway.

You are in a padded corn-silo type room with an enormous airplane propeller under a grate that blasts you up into the air where you float. I think it was about $60. Very noisy but very fun.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Flyaway.

Your right, we went to The Gun Store because we saw their tourist flyers on the strip advertising machine gun rentals. Thanks for the advice, we will try American Shooting next trip, but I dont know how they could have a better selection of machine guns, The Gun Store had all the major ones that I had ever heard of.

Don’t stay downtown. Downtown sucks.

You have enough money to stay at a _good_ hotel. My favorite is the Venetian.

My favorite show in Vegas is Crazy Girls at the Riviera - it’s not a big show, but it’s very entertaining and there is enough nudity to satisfy youngish party guys like yourself.

Also the Fremont street show was a HUGE disappointment. Woohoo, Nintendo style graphics on the ceiling. No thanks.

The Top of the World Restaurant in the stratosphere is pretty nice. Good lobster.

Vegas Loves the high roller. A lot of the clubs will LONG LINES wrapping around the corner. I have NEVER waited in any of these lines. Go right up to the front, and slip the bouncer a Grant.

Have fun.
