Operated by Dig This · Las Vegas, Nevada
In the heart of Nevada’s Mojave Desert, where the iconic Las Vegas Strip dazzles just miles away, lies an unconventional outdoor playground at Dig This. This heavy equipment adventure company offers a one-of-a-kind experience unlike any traditional desert outing—operating Skid Steer Track Loaders known as "Pacman" and "Badger." These compact yet powerful machines, dubbed the "Sports Cars of Heavy Equipment," provide 70 minutes of hands-on fun maneuvering through dirt piles, obstacle courses, and tire stacks designed to test skill and spark teamwork.
Situated at 800 W Roban Ave, Dig This injects a fresh, mechanical pulse into Las Vegas’s adventure scene. Rather than hiking or off-roading, visitors get behind the controls of these turbo-charged loaders with intuitive joystick operation, guided every step by expert instructors via wireless headsets. The experience kicks off with a 15-minute safety class to build confidence before 50 minutes of full-throttle, dirt-moving action inside climate-controlled cabs offering both heating and air conditioning—no matter the desert heat or seasonal chill.
Not only is the activity suitable for individuals aged 8 and up, but it also shines as a social experience. Groups of friends or families team up to navigate challenges side by side, combining fun with hands-on learning in an environment that requires no prior construction or driver’s license experience.
Dig This complements the adventurous spirit of Las Vegas, distancing itself from the glitz with raw interaction with earth-moving machinery. It’s a novel offering amid the desert’s vast landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Mojave and the industrious hum of heavy equipment meet. For those craving an active, unique thrill that blends playful competition with skill-building, Dig This stands out as a must-do in the local recreation roster.
