Don't Take Our Word for It

My 10 year old just drove the 6 ton excavator with Phil's instruction and absolutely LOVED it. Couldn't recommend it enough!

We surprised my stepson for his 8th birthday with the 6-ton excavator experience. He sat on the machine by himself and communicated with a member of the staff via headphones the entire time. He LOVED IT!!!

My son has been fascinated by heavy equipment since he could walk. His dream came true at Dig This to operate a 6 ton CAT excavator. He had such a blast and can’t stop talking about his experience.

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.
