What makes Dig This stand apart is the seamless blend of raw power and precision control. The Golden Knight isn’t just big—it’s agile, making every twist and turn through gravel piles and tire stacks an adrenaline pumping challenge. The climate-controlled cab ensures comfort against the desert’s extremes while still putting participants in direct command of this engineering beast.

Perfect for friends or adventurous families, this activity offers a unique way to engage with the rugged terrain outside Las Vegas without hiking boots or climbing gear.
