Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? Let’s Dig In.
Do I need a driver's license?
Nope. You don’t need a driver’s license to operate our heavy equipment. We’ll walk you through everything step-by-step before you ever touch the controls.
Is the equipment climate-controlled?
Absolutely. Our machines feature fully climate-controlled cabs. No matter what the Vegas weather is throwing at us, you’ll be moving mountains in a perfectly temperate cab.
Can my friends and family come to watch?
Bring your whole fan club. We’ve got dedicated Spectator Areas perfect for capturing your best angles and every bucket drop.
Can we split the time on a Big Dig?
No. One machine, one operator. Big Digs are designed as full, uninterrupted experiences and cannot be split between participants.
