An Interesting New Shooting Range Err, gun Lounge

From the Las Vegas Sun: Guns, babes and celebrities ­— that’s Machine Guns Vegas, in a nutshell.
The new shooting range, which markets itself as the world’s first luxury gun lounge, is set to open early next year and needs to fill its ranks. The company is advertising almost 40 available jobs for range masters, sales hosts, cashiers, hostesses, runners, range safety officers, armorers and loaders.
MGV is a typical shooting range with a high-end, sexy twist. The bulk of the 10,000 square-foot building will be filled with 16 shooting lanes where customers can fire modern and exotic weapons, including machine guns, assault rifles, handguns and historic World War II firearms. Tucked away from public view will be two private shooting lanes and a VIP waiting lounge for celebrities and high rollers.
“Gun girls” (hosts who double as spokesmodels) will greet customers and help them choose weapons and upload photos and videos to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. A retail store will sell designer handbags with built-in holsters and guns engraved with customers’ names.
“MGV was created to fill a void in the Las Vegas tourist market,” said Managing Partner Genghis Cohen, a former Royal New Zealand Army officer who now works in the Las Vegas nightlife scene. “It was obvious there was a need for a customer service-oriented firearms experience in Las Vegas with unique, select offerings for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals.”
MGV will be located behind the Mirage at 3501 Aldebaran Avenue and will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. To apply for a job, send a resume and headshot to

Yep, sex sells, even at the gun range.
Now, I have never touched a gun in my life much less owned one, but this shooting range may change my mind.
Think this type of business will fly in the rural areas of Wisconsin, Alabama, Alaska or any other area where guns can be found?
