Overview
Dig, doze and excavate as you operate climate controlled excavators or bulldozers at the first heavy equipment play area in the United States!
- #1 on TripAdvisor out of almost 500 Las Vegas attractions!
- Choose to move earth in a CAT D5G Bulldozer and create roads & platforms or test hand-eye coordination as you doze and excavate dams and ponds in a CAT 315 Excavator
- 5.5 Ton Mini Excavator and Skid Steer Track Loader available for participants 8 years and older
- Your instructors have been featured on CNN, CNBC, CBS News Sunday Morning, The Wall Street Journal Online, and Oddball Traveller!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to operate an excavator or a bulldozer? Well, now you can at the first heavy equipment play area in the United States!
With the guidance of knowledgeable and experienced instructors, you will be successfully operating one of these powerful machines in less than 10 minutes through a course that will take you through a series of activities where you will move mountains, dig trenches, test your hand-eye coordination by stacking rocks in a pyramid, and so much more.
Your adventure begins with a short safety lesson and equipment overview. Then, under the guidance of a professionally trained instructor, you will take the controls of a modern, climate controlled, CAT 315 Track Excavator or a CAT D5G Bulldozer.
You will be amazed not only at the incredible power of these machines but also at how easy they are to operate. A simple movement of the joystick-style hand controls and you have just picked up a massive boulder or dug a four-foot deep trench!
If you can't choose which machine to operate, try them both with the Mega Dig package. No experience or training is required for any activity, only the desire to have fun!
Mini Excavator and Skid Steer Track Loader option
Enjoy the thrill of operating the 5.5 ton Mini Excavator or a Skid Steer Track Loader. During the Mini Excavator experience, you will dig deep, play excavator basketball and backfill with a blade and bucket. Enjoy moving tons of dirt, stacking tires over a pole and driving an obstacle course in these easy to operate little diggers during the Skid Steer Track Loader experience.
Aggression Session
You’re given a can of spray paint to write your thoughts on the car, then look out… destroy that thought with a force like none other! Unleash your frustrations while you crush the car to your heart’s content with a 30,000 pound Caterpillar excavator – an experience in Vegas like none other!

Dig This Vegas was great! I went with a friend who was only going to spectate and they allowed her to sit in an excavator near me for a better view. (We were there on a slow day.) All of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and operating the excavator was fun. I will return for the bulldozer, too!

Bought this as a surprise gift for my husband. He had a blast. The only thing he said he would change is he wanted to play ALL day.
— David S | Oct 11, 2016
One of the best-run, most fun experiences I have had. The entire process from booking through the actual event was smooth, and everyone was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Cloud 9 Living and the Dig This experience in Las Vegas.
— David A | Sep 27, 2015
Dig This met all our expectations. My husband had a great time driving the bulldozer and hasn't stopped talking about it since. He now wants to try driving the excavator.
The operation at Dig This was very organized and efficient. They made the experience fun and fear-free. The safety overview & orientation was followed by a very comprehensive experience with operating the bulldozer.
This was definitely a unique experience that made the perfect gift for the man who has everything.
— Mark J | Apr 14, 2013
Perfect gift for anyone who had ever wanted to use big equipment. Close to the strip and there are no more than 6 people per experience- very personalized instruction. There is a place to sit, watch, and get amazing pictures for onlookers and the office is comfortable as well. My husband was thrilled from beginning to end and it's quite a long experience--but not so long that it gets old. The staff at Dig This are amazing and really love their work. I even bought the T-shirt. Great for couples, families, groups--everyone.
Tips:
Make sure your cabbie knows where to go. We had to call the office and have them give directions, which they did. Some cabbies tried to fleece the guests by driving them around and around for a larger fare because it's so close.
Eat a hearty breakfast and be well rested.
Bring sunglasses.
Dress to be outside if you are a spectator. The Seating for the excavators is covers, not so for the other machines.
