ahhh,
Well,
The Gunstore is OK...but in shooting fullauto, the 'range master' loads it and unloads it for you...you just get to shoot it. Probably because of all the non shooting tourists that come there from all over the world to fulfill a fantasy. The guys behind the counter must have daily injections of testesterone...they be packing multiple guns, tons of ammo and swagger when they walk about...the CCW and Security class there, on the other hand is top notch! Lets see: last I was there..they had an M16, Valmet 223, Sten, Greasegun, Thompson, Madsen 1950, MP5(of course), wood stocked UZI, and a MP-40.
American Shooter's is a nicer range and they have a broader assortment of handguns and some different Subguns( an you say UMP .45 AND .40!!!), ANd you get the gun and head to the range...no supervisory stuff. BUT their ammo is not cheap, so hit the nearby Wally Worlds for a couple of value packs of whatever you wanna shoot. You will buy the initial 50 rounds, but they do not keep tabs on how much you shoot! They also have a rifle range for the M16, M1A Squad Scout andother various goodies.
Bill's on Freemont has a nice selction..at reasonable prices and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly...but no range.
Discount firearms as good prices and selection. I never shot at their range.
Center Mass is way south in Henderson...but it is a IDPA, SWAT kinda place. They have a thing for HK's and AR's......fair prices. I drooled at the USP Tactical .45 with Suppressor for sale!!(and I am not really a USP guy).
I AM going to the gunshow this weekend....maybe laugh, maybe cry, but I will fur shure get my fingerprints on a few impliments, drool a tad, and look for a few select goodies to add to the shooting bag(including a bigger bag! Starting to need one with wheels!!).
Have fun on your trip...ah, Vegas honor no other CCW...you can take a class as a non resident, but it takes four months to get it! And it is serial number and caliber specific, so you have to bring your own heater(s). Has to be registered in Clark County too.

PS: Nevada Revised Statute 202.350 states that as long as the knife is not concealed(i.e clipped to the pocket/carried openly) there is NO maximum blade length. Though a Katana would probably get you stopped by Metro!
