Las Vegas is well known for its casinos, nightclubs and nightlife. But for those travelers who want a different Vegas experience, there are many recreational activities from which to choose that get you out of the casino lights while offering many different thrills. When it is time to step away from the tables and machines, check out these alternatives.
If shooting craps has worn out its welcome, or your wallet, how about targeting an opponent down the barrel of a gun. Not a real one, of course. For paintball enthusiasts, Vegas offers both indoor and outdoor paintball fields. Bonehead Paintball boasts the only indoor field in Las Vegas. Las Vegas Premier Paintball will host your corporate events or even bachelor parties.
Want to trade up from a paintball gun? Las Vegas Gun Range will teach you how to handle a real firearm from their collection or give you firing lessons for your own, licensed gun. Their Concealed Weapons Permit Classes are certified by the state of Nevada.
For any woman who has ever dreamed of being a "Bond Girl" there is Stiletto Spy School, a four- day adventure where you can learn such skills as hand- to-hand knife fighting, stunt driving, poker playing and, naturally, how to mix the perfect martini (shaken, not stirred, of course). And so the men don't feel left out, there is a similar program called MI-6.
For a high-flying adventure, nothing beats skydiving. At Sin City Skydiving, just minutes outside Las Vegas, you can see the desert like never before. They specialize in first time jumpers and even offer a shuttle service to the jump site.
Not ready to jump out of a plane just yet? Vegas Indoor Skydiving replicates the experience in their giant wind tunnel. After a brief training class, you suit up, jump in, and face the 120-mile-per hour wind.
Still need more speed? Try the Richard Petty Driving Experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. You can ride along with a professional driver or take the wheel of your own NACSAR vehicle as you cruise the 1.5 mile superspeedway track at up to 165 miles per hour.
