Operated by Dig This · Las Vegas, Nevada
Just outside the neon hum of Las Vegas’s Strip, Dig This offers a hands-on, adrenaline-charged experience that’s anything but typical. This desert playground invites groups of 5 to 10 to commandeer full-size heavy machinery for 90 minutes of immersive dirt-moving fun. Participants swap usual excursion gear for bulldozer seats and excavator controls, tearing into the raw dirt to dig trenches, build a tire pyramid, and tackle a towering mound with a robust lineup of Big Dig Excavators and Bulldozers. It’s a rare chance to operate massive earth-moving machines, all under professional guidance, with no experience or driver’s license required.
Set on a sprawling industrial lot at 800 W Roban Ave, Dig This uniquely complements the surrounding Mojave Desert landscape—a region not only known for its arid natural beauty but also for rugged industry and construction. The site balances thrilling mechanical challenge with team-based gameplay, blending physical engagement with strategic cooperation. Drivers take turns digging deep trenches and backfilling, putting their coordination skills to the test on activities like the "Hill Tilt-a-Whirl" or the "Teeter-Totter" over giant dirt piles.
This experience stands apart in Southern Nevada’s adventure scene, far from the typical hiking or off-road tours. It’s an ideal outing for corporate teams, families with older kids (ages 8+), or friends looking to break routine with something tactile, loud, and rewarding. The activity doubles as an unexpected way to build camaraderie and competitive spirit while providing a visceral connection to the elements and sheer power at your fingertips.
After the dirt settles, groups reconvene for a lighthearted awards ceremony—a fitting close to a high-energy session spent mastering monumental machines in an urban desert setting. Whether you’re a motorsport enthusiast or just craving a new kind of outdoor challenge, Dig This delivers an experience that’s unforgettable, hands-on, and firmly rooted in Nevada’s rugged character.
