Located in the heart of the Nevada desert, Battlefield Vegas offers an adrenaline-packed experience that puts you behind the trigger of one of the most formidable weapons in American military history: the M2 Browning “Ma Deuce” machine gun. This .50 BMG caliber, fully-automatic beast is legendary for its power and precision, and firing it in the controlled, safe environment of Battlefield Vegas is unlike any other adventure in the Las Vegas area.
Situated just a few miles from the bustling Strip, Battlefield Vegas transforms the desert landscape into a dynamic shooting range where history and thrill converge.

The surrounding desert terrain is a showcase of classic Mojave features: rugged rock formations, sparse yet hardened desert flora like creosote and Joshua trees, and wide-open spaces that amplify the echo of every round fired.
