Don't Take Our Word for It

I did the big excavator. It was fantastic! The instructor made the whole experience relaxed and fun. Safety was always top priority. I am going back next week to do the dozer.

We came for a family outing, adults ranging in age from 28-56 and everyone LOVED it! We drove the 6 ton excavator, the backhoe and the 9 ton excavator and we already are planning to return!

I heard about this place years ago. When I happened to go to Vegas, I signed up for the excavator experience. 5 stars. Friendly and helpful staff. Tons of fun driving, digging, and throwing around big tires. Totally worth it.

My husband and I did the Big Dig Excavator this past Friday, and we had the best time. Our instructor, Phil, did a great job of walking us through the info we needed to stay safe and then coaching us through the controls for each of the tasks we were doing.

Bought a big dig for my brother's milestone birthday. We had a great time with a patient instructor, a big excavator and a D-5 (?) bulldozer! Mighta got us proficient enough to rent a small excavator for some projects on his ranch.

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.
