Top Shot Las Vegas — Attraction in Paradise

It was some mild fun. Definitely not worth ~$130 per person. Not even close.

The training and simulation parts are lame. Stand in front of a projector screen and shoot the bad guys (flat cut outs). Basically a crappy version of Time Crisis style game from the 90s.

The second simulation part was slightly better. You go into a room with a bigger screen and the guns you use are ‘real’ in that they weigh more and the shells fly out when you shoot. The actual game is terrible. Once again similar to time crisis (a shooter on rails), but the graphics and the animations in particular are incredibly poor. Some zombies jauntily bounce around like they’re jogging for their health.

The final part, the laser tag with electric shocks was fun but also not worth it. They just put you in a little maze like room and say shoot each other. Limited ammo. No objective or teams or anything. No game penalty for being shot. The electric shocks are reasonably painful, which is a good thing as it adds a bit of excitement. I had red marks on my belly for a day or 2 afterwards. They give you additional clips ‘just in case’ that cost $15 extra (I think). But that turns into a situation where everyone uses up their clips and then one person buys more and the other people just have to stand there and get shocked if they don’t want to buy more.

If you’re absolutely keen on going. Just do the laser tag part. They rest of it is rubbish up sell filler.

By the way, the reason I’ve left this review is because they kept pestering me via email to do so....

I picked up the Zombie package on groupon so I could scope this out as a potential activity for my kids the next time we go to Vegas. I started off with the training games, where you use a real (but modified) Glock and shoot at a video screen. At first, I wasn't that into it, but it turns out that this is very good practice for later on, since you get a better feel for the gun. Then I moved on to the Zombie apocalypse game. Here, you get a Glock and an AR15. You start off with the AR, and once you're out of bullets, you move to the Glock. You can purchase more magazines, but I went with a single mag for each weapon since I was just checking things out. It's pretty cool to play a video game like that, but have a weapon that now fires (no projectiles) and recoils like the real thing. It even gets pretty tiring. I had no idea how heavy it would become when using a real AR in a game! Finally, I paid a little more to be able to do the Gun Battle as my final event. I went one-on-one against Heidi, who was a very nice gal that works at Top Shot. She set me up with the "electric shock belt", which is what you wear in battle. I had it set to level 3 of 5, and let me tell you, you really don't want to get shot, because the shock is extremely uncomfortable! Anyhow, we eat battled it out with a single mag each, and she hit me a few times. Ouch!

This place definitely seems like a fun stop for the kids, and I'm looking forward to going back the next time...

My group of six went here to try out the Glock Gun Battle package they offer. Being Las Vegas, I definitely thought we would be rushed and run through the even quickly but Caesar, the employee who worked there, was very accommodating and did not rush us in the least. He made sure we were all set and helped us with any issues along the way.

As for the event, imagine laser tag, but Glock 17 pistols that fire blanks. And shock packs that can be programmed to startle or dialed up to just under electric fence levels of shock. Then put you and your friends into a maze of makeshift corridors and rooms to shoot each other. The cost was a little steep at $80 per person but we enjoyed it immensely. We had contemplated doing a machine gun tour but opted for this instead. If you are into firearms, you can definitely have some fun doing room clearing and CQB with your friends. If you go in and just mag dump it goes by quick but if you structure it you can spend quite a bit of time. I recommend you get an extra mag for each of your party. We will definitely try it again when we are in town, recommend you give it a shot if you're...
