Set in the rugged outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, Dig This offers a uniquely hands-on outdoor adventure that flips the script on traditional recreation. At Dig This, your playground isn’t a trail or a peak — it’s a fleet of powerful 6-ton excavators and skid steer track loaders. The Mini Mega Dig experience invites thrill-seekers, families, and groups to operate these heavy machines firsthand, guided by expert instructors through wireless headsets. Without any previous construction or driving experience required, participants receive a safety briefing before taking the controls in climate-controlled cabs featuring heat and air conditioning, ensuring comfort during the two-hour session regardless of desert weather.
Las Vegas, best known for its neon skyline and desert heat, harbors this unexpected slice of gritty, machine-driven outdoor fun just minutes from the Strip.

Fred and Barney—the 6-ton excavators—offer a satisfying tactile experience, while Pacman and Badger, the skid steer loaders, add variety to your digging adventure.
