Operate Real Heavy Equipment in Vegas
Dig This Las Vegas is a five-acre heavy-equipment playground where guests take control of real excavators under the guidance of trained instructors. Instead of watching construction machinery from behind a fence, participants climb into the operator’s seat and complete digging, lifting, backfilling, tire-stacking, and equipment-control challenges.
No driver’s license or previous construction experience is required. Every session begins with safety and control instruction, followed by supervised operating time. Participants remain connected to an instructor through a wireless headset while working in their own designated equipment area.
Experiences range from a 15-minute Kids Dig on a one-ton mini excavator to longer sessions on six-ton and full-size excavators. Climate-controlled cabs help keep operators comfortable during both hot and cool Las Vegas weather.
Dig This is a memorable choice for families, adventurous visitors, construction fans, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette groups, corporate outings, and guests comparing hands-on activities with other Las Vegas tours and attractions.
