Axehole Vegas
Axe-throwing is an ancient spot that’s trending right now, and for good reason—turns out letting off steam by throwing sharp things at a target is a sport many people can get right into.
A perfect spot to start a night off in, Axehole offers the use of hatchets, knives, spears, and even provides access to something called the ‘Rage Room,’ (which may come in handy if the birthday girl or boy has had their fill of Over The Hill jokes).

Adrenaline Junkies
There’s more ways to get crazy in Vegas than partying ‘til dawn, especially if you are planning an all-out weekend of birthday celebrating. Why not throw something unexpected into the mix?
Las Vegas has plenty of YOLO experiences to choose from: whether that’s peering thousands of feet down from a hot air balloon basket, jumping out of a plane over the Strip, revving a Lamborghini around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, or bungeeing off the Stratosphere, if you can dream it—in Vegas—you can do it!

Fight the Apocalypse
If celebrating a birthday makes you want to take on the world, this may be just the experience you’re seeking. Dress like a Special Ops agent and immerse yourself in an interactive combat simulation designed to save the world. Definitely something for a specialized-interest crowd, and only something you can find…in Vegas.
If these ideas aren’t quite your speed, remember that the folks in Las Vegas are trained hospitality specialists! From the concierge at your hotel, to hosts-for-hire, you really can design the most unique birthday of a lifetime in this magical destination.
Don’t forget all that nature has to offer outside the glitz and glam too—from white-water rafting, to hiking, to helicopter rides through the Grand Canyon, the desert offers a bounty of incredible opportunities for celebration in its own right.
