LAS VEGAS – On the day everyone celebrates love, a gun range has something special for the heartbroken.
The business is offering divorced customers the chance to say goodbye to their past relationship with a bang.
The “Blasting the Past” package is available at Machine Guns Vegas this Valentine’s Day.
They came up with the idea a year ago when a woman walked in with her wedding dress.
“She was like, ‘I want to shoot this thing, I just got divorced,’ it was ugly,” manager Melissa Cordero said. “It obviously provided them with some emotional release.”
Customers can be male or female. They can bring their tux, their wedding dress, their marriage certificate, even flowers from the wedding.
They can hang up just about anything on the target carrier.
Then the divorce is consummated with rounds of bullets in just seconds.
The divorcee gets the machine gun but there is also an MP5 and a pink M4 for up to four additional party members.
The approximate one-hour shindig also includes access to their VIP lounge, complimentary transportation and a “Just Divorced” sash.
Cordero said it’s just one way to say “I’m going to move on,” or “I hate you and I’m gonna shoot up this dress.”
They ask anyone interested not to bring in pictures and there is absolutely no drinking on the range.
