Las Vegas is known as the entertainment capital of the world, offering no shortage of flashy shows, world-class dining, and nightlife options. But if you’re planning a corporate event, bachelor party, or organizing something unforgettable for a group that craves adventure—not just cocktails—you need more than the standard Strip experience.
Whether you’re celebrating a major milestone, building team unity, or just want to do something that your crew will talk about for the rest of their lives, one activity in Las Vegas consistently rises above the rest: the Gunship Helicopters aerial shooting experience.
This is not your average group outing. This is firing fully automatic machine guns from an open-door helicopter, flying over a 71-acre private gun range in the Mojave Desert. It’s tactical, exhilarating, and totally unforgettable.
Here’s why Gunship Helicopters is one of the best Las Vegas group activities for anyone seeking adrenaline, camaraderie, and a next-level thrill.
1. It’s the Ultimate Group Bonding Experience
Whether you’re hosting a corporate team-building retreat, organizing a bachelor party, or bringing together a group of high-energy friends, the Gunship Helicopters experience is designed to deliver a shared rush of excitement that builds instant connections.
There’s something unforgettable about sitting side by side in a tactical helicopter, each person fully geared up and ready to unleash. You’re not just watching the fun—you’re living it together.
The shared adrenaline, high-fives after hitting your targets, and storytelling that follows turns this from just another group activity into a legendary bonding moment.
2. You Can Fire Fully Automatic Machine Guns From a Helicopter
Let’s get this straight: you’re not standing in a stall on an indoor gun range. You’re strapped into an open-door helicopter, flying over rugged terrain, with a fully automatic weapon in hand.
That’s not something you can do just anywhere. Gunship Helicopters is one of the only aerial gun ranges in the world—and it’s located just outside Las Vegas.
Firearm options include:
- M134 Minigun – Legendary 6-barrel rotary machine gun
- M240 – Belt-fed beast used by the U.S. military
- M249 SAW – Squad-level automatic weapon
- M4A1, MP5, and even the iconic Barrett .50 Cal Sniper Rifle
Whether you are an experienced shooter or first-timers, this is a hands-on, high-impact adventure you’ll never forget.
3. Impress Corporate Clients and Colleagues
Tired of the same hotel banquet rooms and predictable golf outings? If you want to leave a real impression on executives, partners, or colleagues, this is the experience that makes people say, “That was the coolest business trip of my life.”
Perfect for:

4. Next-Level Bachelor Party Energy
Sure, bottle service is fun. But you know what’s better? Blasting targets from a helicopter at 3,000 feet with your best friends watching.
For groomsmen who want something truly memorable—something that brings everyone together before a night on the Strip—this is it. It’s the ultimate pre-party experience, combining raw power, Vegas excitement, and unbeatable bragging rights.
And yes—photos, videos, and in-flight video footage are available so your crew can relive the moment for years to come.
5. Escape the Chaos of the Strip—Without Leaving Vegas Behind
Las Vegas is electric, but sometimes you need a break from the neon lights and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Gunship Helicopters offers the perfect escape into the natural beauty of the Mojave Desert, just 45 minutes outside of the city.
You’ll be transported (literally and mentally) from hotel lobbies and crowded streets to a 71-acre private range surrounded by open skies and rugged terrain. It’s remote enough to feel like an adventure—but close enough to be back in time for dinner or clubbing.
