Las Vegas is more than just glitzy hotels and high-roller casinos. Step off the beaten path and discover a world where anything is possible for the right price. If it's thrills you seek, step into a circus school and practice your tight-rope walking skills, or shoot a machine gun in an open indoor range. The city even offers a number of museums dedicated to the over-sized lives of some of the Strip's greatest performers. There's something for everyone in Sin City.
If your idea of fun is to play with some heavy artillery, then head over to the Gun Store and test out one of the dozens of automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Fire an AK 47 assault rifle or unload on a target with a Thompson Machine Gun. The Gun Store offers an indoor firing range and a number of party packages for bachelors and bachelorettes. Handgun and sniper rifle rentals are also available upon request.

America's most eccentric city is home to one of the country's most eccentric performers.
