TECHNOLOGY - High-tech gadgets are set to play an important role in the Machine Guns Vegas experience. The team have installed various technologies to help make a number of improvements, from eliminating long waiting lines, to enabling guests to instantly upload photos and video to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Guests will also be entertained with movie displays showcasing film clips of popular firearms, including “Rambo’s” M60 machine gun and Bullet Tooth Tony’s .50 Caliber Desert Eagle Handgun featured in “Snatch.”
A WOMAN’S TOUCH - Aiming to attract both genders, Machine Guns Vegas say they are trying to avoid creating a male-orientated atmosphere. To level the playing field they are offering tailored packages to both bachelors and bachelorettes, which team MGV say offers “a different kind of adrenaline rush for that one last fling before the ring in Sin City.” And to add further appeal for female machine-gun lovers, the lounge’s retail section is set to offer branded handbags with built-in concealed carry holsters for ladies to stash their top-secret weapons.
CUSTOMISED FIREARMS - The luxury lounge is planning to sell a range of branded gifts which visitors can take away as a memento, which include customized limited-edition firearms engraved with the customer’s name and fitted to each individual person - which we think is pretty awesome!

Cohen has also worked on a variety of international tourism projects in Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and the South Pacific. Cohen said: “MGV will offer something for everyone, from the firearms enthusiast to the first-timer who wants to feel the thrill of firing these powerful weapons.” He also added: “MGV was created to fill a void in the Las Vegas tourist market. It was obvious there was a need for a customer service-oriented firearms experience in Las Vegas with unique, select offerings for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals as part of the facility.”
