Dig This - Las Vegas

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had! I LOVES machines and this really hit the spot for me. The instructor, Manny, made it so much fun!! I felt like a big kid. I take my hat off to those who operate these machines for a living. It’s not easy and takes a lot of coordination. I highly recommend Dig This as an activity for friends, family, and workmates. It’s a blast and you won’t be disappointed!

I had a blast. My husband got this for me, it was on my bucket list. I did the excavator and could have stayed all day. My instructor, Manny was fantastic and he even gave us the name of a great taco place when we were done. Would highly recommend.

Such an awesome experience!! I was able to quickly and easily book our event online. We showed up 15 minutes before the appt and was checked in and sitting down in a safety review within minutes. The staff there were all very helpful and attentive. We did the excavator for 90 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly and easily we were able to understand how the machine worked. It helps that you're in constant communication with your instructor. In our case, we had Bob who was fantastic. He was personable, funny, and when we didn't know how to do something he was able to easily walk us through what to do. I'll definitely be back here in the future and would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks for such a great time!

I love this! 40 years I watched excavators working on a project near my house and was taken by how easy and smooth the operators were--treating big boulder like a pebble and even moving small pieces with the big scooper. I asked the few friends I knew who had a backhoe, and none would let me 'play'...so, imagine my excitement and anticipation seeing this while searching for excursions in Las Vegas! Dig This is not cheap, but worth every penny. I got the biggest piece of equipment (just down from the aggression size) for the longest time frame because I knew a chance like this for a 60+ year old woman to operate a machine like this is not common, so yes, please! The instructor was a small framed, young woman with a soft and gentle voice. I was nervous, thinking I'd feel more comfortable with a big, husky guy barking at me...boy was off base (old-fashion sexist attitudes...). Heather was the BOMB! She was so patient and walked me through each step all while taking great photos/videos of me making the monster move. I'm so glad I got the long visit, as it took me a hot minute to get this down. I'm thinking anyone who plays video games will do great at this...I've never played video games so getting the knack of the joy-stick took me a minute. I'm so glad I did this. It literally was on my 'bucket list' and was the one I didn't think I'd be able to cross-off. They have a kids section that was full of kids. The Heavy Equipment Union should have 'field days' here for kids to get them hooked while they are young. It was fun!!

I totally dig it and dug it! 10/10 amazing experience from my wonderful instructor Brian, to Taylor in the shop and the manager Michelle!!! Everyone was so nice, the place is clean, machines’ ac comfortable and they also offer coffee and a bathroom. Going by myself I was a little nervous but everyone was so welcoming and Brain was so patient with me, I learned so much from him! Though it’s pricey it’s such a unique experience and really gives you an immersive experience. I did the mini mega dig to experience both machines and so glad I did - from barreling through tires to playing basketball! I hope they open a location in Orlando soon!

Our three year old did the Kids Dig. We had a great instructor to help navigate the controls one on one. It took our daughter a few minutes to get acclimated to the sounds and the feel of the excavator but she quickly loosened up. Towards the end I could see she was losing interest, so the 15 minute session was the perfect amount of time. There were covered tables with chairs for spectators, or you could circle to the front to take photos uncovered. With summer around the corner, I would advise an early session as I don’t believe the equipment has AC. At the end of the session, we got a certificate with some stickers and tattoos and a copy of a photo of Blippi when he featured Dig This. Our little one was over the moon as she frequently sings Blippis “Excavator Song” every time we see an Excavator. Thank you Dig This team for a great and unique experience!

I’ve wanted to play with heavy equipment for a long time, but only found out about Dig This recently. It’s pretty much exactly as advertised with the excavator digging holes, grabbing tires and finally trying to finesse basketballs off traffic cones. Our instructor, Heather was great and guided us through the controls and kept things safe. The main building has a surprising array of construction themed gifts. It’s a fairly pricey activity, but I definitely feel like I scratched that itch.

We had 2 adults and my 13 yr old son do this experience, we all ran the big excavators. Phil was our helper and did a great job. It ended up being my son's favorite part of the entire trip to Vegas. Would highly recommend if you want to play in the dirt with some large machinery.

Almost every year we do something fun for my husband's birthday. We've been on segways, done wine train, and he's done indoor skydiving. And this year? He did Dig This! He loved the idea of driving an excavator, so we planned a Vegas trip around the experience and after getting off the plane and checking into our hotel we took an Uber out to their new location. After the safety video his awesome guide Dennis set him up on the vehicle and let me take several photos of him while we waited for the second driver to arrive. My husband had an absolutely amazing time and loved digging, playing basketball, and stacking tires while I got to listen in with a matching headset. Prior to booking I'd looked up the time of the Vegas sunset and chosen a block in the afternoon to make sure we had great light for the pictures and videos, but we'd also opted in for the plaque with a picture of him they'd taken. All in all he had an absolutely amazing experience and we would do Dig This again in a heartbeat!

A little ways away from the strip. Kept it under wraps until we jumped out the car doors. How excited the 3 and 5yo were was beyond words. To top it off, they were just tall enough to be hands on in the mini diggers. It was a seatbelt for the adults and a mini seatbelt for the little ones. After about 10m, my 3yo was tired but the 5yo was running the controls on his own. Afterwards, they had a photo op to buy as well as nice souvenirs at the gift store. It was one of the best 15 minutes of their lives!

SOOOOO MUCH FUN! Our instructor, Bob, was incredibly kind and patient with us. Left right forward back up down and all around - he kept us safe and we had a blast!! HIGHLY recommend this unique and challenging experience. If you're in Vegas, no matter your age, you've got to give it a try. Book in advance and they will create an afternoon of memories!!

So much fun! We went so that my 3 year old who is obsessed with all things construction can experience being on an excavator. The staff was super friendly. They had free coffee. They even took pictures of us with the machine. So much fun. Definitely something my kid won't forget. It's a bit of ways from the strip, close to the M resort, but well worth the drive. The aggression session looks so cool. Maybe we'll come back one day without the child to wreck a car!

My nephew is absolutely obsessed with all things construction vehicles so you have a little little kid in your life that loves them. This is such an amazing opportunity for them to experience. As long as a child is two or older they can do the mini excavator with an adult for 15 minutes. It was a little under $30. I know 15 minutes doesn't sound like a lot of time but it was ample. There are fans that are outside and available seating for extra family members to come and it also came with a certificate and the option to purchase photos, the staff was really mindful about refilling the water in the fans for the misters, and clearly explaining how to use the mini excavator. We'll definitely be back as he gets older for the big vehicles!!

A+ experience all around! My kids both enjoyed it and we highly recommend it! The ride is only 15 mins but it's enough time. The staff are friendly and welcoming and really tried to help us get a reservation- since we didn't make one before getting there. The experience was fantastic. The facilities are clean. Each child left with a certificate, sticker and tattoos.

I've your ever in Vegas area (Henderson), Dig This is a cute excursion to do with your little's. We surprised our son with a session to operate a mini excavator. Although he was just about the size to operate on his own, he opted to sit with dad to do it. There's a little photo opportunity beforehand so they can offer souvenirs with photos for purchase. It really is a cute experience for kids and I think my son will probably want to do it again on his own before he outgrows the construction vehicle phase. I booked two digs, but my friend's kid wasn't able to do it the same day as us. They offered a credit for them to do it later on, but do NOT issue refunds. Souvenirs a little pricey. Photos weren't the best quality and were priced at $10/$25/$30. We still got one for memory but it was average. The gentleman who helped my son was super patient and encouraging. They have an area where you can tip your operator helper.

My son and my nephew love love love construction equipment and all things like most boys . They were over the moon happy when we visited . The parent do have to help the kid operate the machinery. A must for any kids who love dirt and excavators !

Booked a trip for my husband's 50th birthday! Big group and everyone had so much fun!!! Little ones did the kids did, older kids/adults did a group session and husband drove the big bulldozer. Great time for all! The instructors were wonderful! This is our third time coming and we'll definitely be back!

JoBeth was so amazing! Even our daughter who was apprehensive had an amazing time and JoBeth was so patient and fun with the kids. We totally loved it!!!

What an amazing place! We took our grandkids and the staff was fantastic! It was pretty cool for adults as well!

Amazing time at Dig This in Las Vegas for my 9 year old son and 11 year old girl. They loved learning how to drive an excavator and skid steer. Bob was a wonderful teacher and taught them so much! They can't wait to get back to school and share with their friends. Highly recommend doing this in Vegas as children or adults!

This is an activity that I've been wanting to do forever! My partner got me this experience as my bday present and I had THE MOST FUN! The instructor was super helpful & kind and I am in such awe at the way they were able to break down the instructions in a way that I could understand and take in as I learned by doing. Honestly, I was intimidated by it at first but the key is just to trust your instructor and TRY :) This place is rated E for EEEVERYONE!

Outstanding place for young and old!!! "Tons" of fun for the kids and the adults as well in this construction playground...just south of the M hotel/casino Dig This has several different options to choose from to fulfill your dreams of operation heavy equipment...the kids 1 ton mini excavators are very reasonably priced for the 15 minute session. The bigger vehicles are more expensive to utilize but the people driving them seemed to be having a very good time!! They take pictures and sell them at the conclusion of your session in the very large gift shop/gathering center...the photos, 4X6, were 10 dollars by themselves or 30 dollars attached to one of the dig this photo plaques...the gift shop was very reasonably priced for most of the merchandise being sold...will definitely consider returning in the future, especially with the weather finally beginning to cool off....RECOMMEND

Dennis (my instructor) taught me everything you need to do to work the Big Dozzer! He was very calm, and encouraging. If you are even thinking about this--- DO IT- you will Love IT!!! You will push dirt, build great hills and have your dozzer hang there in mid-air as you go over the hill. What a Blast!!!! Easy reservations, Exceptional Staff throughout and a GREAT INSTRUCTOR--- Can't wait to do more in the future.

Jo Beth and entire team were so nice! This was a job for a patient instructor! She was so thoughtful and great with directions. We truly had a blast! So much so that we thought of a team event here. So fantastic. Thank you guys.

Absolutely great place to come for kids (and adults!)! Our kids had so much fun and will not stop talking about it! Bob, our instructor, was so fantastic! Equipment was in excellent condition and the people were fun and friendly! Totally worth the drive out!

We had the best time yesterday morning! Alex was an amazing instructor. So nice, patient and helpful. At the end, he still took time to hang out w my 2 year old who loved him. Such a cute activity. We've been watching a school around the corner get demolished so we decided we wanted an opportunity to do our own construction work lol We found a deal on IG which was $15 for 15 min. Both of my kids had a lot of fun and so did we. Would def go back again. Super organized. Inside is cute and clean. Good bday party idea too.

My 2.5 year old is obsessed with trucks, especially garbage trucks, fire trucks, and excavators. So when I found out there was a place that lets toddlers play with some heavy machinery (with parental assistance!), I knew we had to go. First, the people working there are super nice and sweet to kids. And second, the excavators were really cool! My son had a lot of fun moving rocks around. Then we watched the adults do fun stuff in their construction trucks, and that was fun too! The only negative is that I bought tickets months in advance and then saw that there were discount codes for the month we were going. I asked if they could honor the discount code and refund us - it was like 45% off or something - and they said they couldn't. So that was a bummer but otherwise great experience.

Dig This also provided 2 framed pictures as a option for purchase. Bought one to compliment our 3 year old's digging escapade on a CAT mini excavator w/his dad. Total was less than $63 after tax for 15 minutes of fun. Was also able to take my own pictures & videos on my iPhone while observing their construction encounter. Found this out from watching Blippi. Wanted to do this once my toddler qualified as a 2 year old to experience this fun! At the end they also provided a picture of Blippi, some non-permanent construction tattoos, and a construction coloring book. Am grateful I opted to take the 8am reservation as the weather is warm in the summer (at the time it was forecast to be 91 degrees) so the windy breeze was light & helpful. Would not want to do this at their last slot of 4pm (even if the CAT diggers are underneath the shade).

Ashley and Phil took great care to give my kids the best experience. Phil was patient with my kids and let them take their time with the machines. We would go again. Highly recommended!

Such a great time! Bucket list check off for sure. Would HIGHLY recommend this during your visit. Jobeth was our instructor and she was amazing and just added to the fun! Can't wait to comeback!!!

Very Friendly customer service, will definitely come again, Jobeth was an amazing instructor

I wanted to do something special for my guy and he loves heavy construction equipment and always talks about operating them. I got him the Big Dig Excavator package. We had a 10 minute safety and overview of what they will be doing and headed out. Mark, the instructor was super chill, friendly and humorous! This day was super windy, usually the spectators sit under a tent but due to the weather he put me in the 6 ton excavator (turned off, of course) with a headset/microphone so I could hear everything, everyone was saying, which was super awesome. Everything last a little over 80 minutes but my guy was super happy. It was a lot of fun and as a spectator, it was quite enjoyable. Definitely different from your normal "Vegas" activities but nonetheless entertaining! We will definitely be doing this again!

Did a family vacation in Vegas and this was part of our itinerary. This was so much fun for all of us. The instructions given were really easy to follow. We got to take pictures before the dig and they gave each of the kids a cute vest. Digging is approximately 15-20 minutes but it felt much longer. Overall, it was a great family experience. Very friendly service and really cute place for the whole family to experience. We got to keep our photos which were super cute !!! The experience was my 3 year olds dream come true and we all had fun digging holes and collecting rocks. Don't miss out on this experience in Vegas .

Awesome experience. The staff is very nice and engaging. My little guy loved it. Will definitely be back!

Had a great time with friends! Knowledgeable staff who helped make the experience super fun!

We had the best time ! Tom and as a great instructor , the boys got to dig , move tires around and even play some basketball ! My son and husband said it was the best thing on our trip ! We will def be back !

We had an ultra fantastic time! Marc got us going right away and in the seats and in control of our two 13 ton excavators. He gave us perfect instructions in order to complete a variety of tasks that were diverse, interesting, challenging, and incorporated the whole rig. Expensive, yes. Highly recommended, absolutely. I'm not sure where else you can find an experience like this.

What a fantastic experience. If you have ever wanted to try your hand at running real equipment this is the best place. Not only do they teach you but you can communicate via headsets so you can operate big equipment safely and learn how to properly operate it! My wife was skeptical about it and a little scared. Afterwards she was grinning ear to ear! Now she is ready to move up from the skid steerer and try a Backhoe next trip. The coaches are phenomenal. They make everything easy and are very helpful. Highly recommend it for one of the best off strip excursions.

Kids had so much fun. Each experience is only 15 mins, definitely not enough time! Kids could have done it all day. They were very patient and gave good instruction. Will definitely do this again.

We took our six year old grandson while he was visiting. We started out tandem and after he learned the controls, he operated solo! The staff was very attentive and safety was emphasized. Patrick really helped out, teaching the basic skills and establishing trust! I'd recommend the Kids Dig for youth groups or birthday parties, as well as for family fun!

This was an absolutely awesome experience for our 9 year old grandson, Landon. He felt accomplished and confident to finish the course. We love the total experience. Everyone was very kind, especially Jobeth who was his instructor.

Love this activity. Well organized. The excavator and the big dozer were our selections. Frankly, I'd rather do the excavator because it involved more skill sets. Lots of fun!

Had so much fun celebrating my friend's birthday here recently. We had 5 participants so we purchased a group package that made it a little cheaper. The instructors were great and made the whole process easy and fun! I was a little intimidated at first but their instructions are super clear and easy to understand so don't be anxious like I was! I saw they had a children's area too with smaller sized equipment so it's definitely an all ages kind of activity!

I could not love my experience more! It was a dream for me and I highly recommend it. Ron Mason and the rest of the staff are amazing.

Bought this package for my partner's birthday. She absolutely loved it. Bob, the instructor did a great job showing you how to use the controls for the excavator. A great hour activity in Vegas.

We had a great team building experience. So much fun and a very unusual opportunity. We had a fantastic time and would definitely do this again.

I highly recommend this place for a short weekend activity with your toddler if you're looking for something a little different . My little one was hesitant at first but soon he was having a blast pulling and pushing the handles. I know we'll be back!

My son had a great time! The staff was friendly and helpful. Such a cool place. I thought my son would need longer than 15 mins but 15 mins was perfect.

Dig This! was the best activity I have ever booked for my son who is 14 with ASD and Mark was our instructor for the mini excavator and skid. Mark was so patient and kind, very understanding with what my son was able to do. the whole experience from walking in the front door to my son driving the heavy machinery to the end when Mark awarded him with his certificate was absolutely hands down the best confidence building experience my son could have ever asked for. Thank you Dig This! we truly dug it at Dig This! Kelli L Kauai Hawaii

There are not enough superlatives to convey just how GREAT "Dig This" is! I opted for the round-trip shuttle service, and the backhoe experience. I received a call from Dig This when I arrived in Vegas asking if I wanted to come in earlier than scheduled because they'd had a cancelation. I was immediately impressed with how kind and professional the person making this call was. I gladly accepted the earlier time slot, and was picked up right on schedule at my hotel. The shuttle van driver was extremely helpful, personable, and kind. I asked him what his favorite heavy equipment at Dig This was, and he said his was the backhoe, which reaffirmed that I'd made the right choice. Upon arrival, the shuttle van driver opened the business door for us, and led us to the check-in desk, got us our safety vests, and led us to the instruction area. The main building is super clean, brightly-lit, colorful, and inviting. There's a brief custom instructional presentation and safety video shown, which were both extremely helpful, then it was time to dig! Our shuttle van driver was also our instructor, and all communication is done via high-fidelity wireless headsets. I chose the back hoe named "Tonka" for my experience, and it was just a blast! The controls are numerous and can be intimidating, but my instructor did a spectacular job of getting me digging a trench in no time flat! After I dug and backfilled my trench, it was time to move a stack of giant tires, and re-stack them. This was tricky, but again, the instructor did an exemplary job of getting me through the exercise! The back hoe was pristine, air-conditioned, had a filtered cabin, and looked brand new (and I found out later that it was brand new). After the dig was over, I parked my back hoe and positioned the loader portion and outriggers as directed. My instructor and I shut down the main switch, and locked the cabin. We then headed to the main building, where I had the opportunity to purchase photos of me in front of Tonka (which the instructor took prior to staring), and which I did! I couldn't pass up the awesome custom frame that it came in, and I probably would have just bought the frame on its own if I'd though to ask. I also realized that I'd left my bottle of water in Tonka's cabin, so I let my instructor know because I didn't want to leave something behind for them to clean up. I was very impressed when the instructor was the shuttle drive van back to the hotel, and when he got into the van, he handed me an ice cold brand new bottle of water! Dig This is absolutely spectacular, and the next time I go to Las Vegas, I'm going to book experiences in all of the equipment they offer!

This place is awesome!! We first saw it on Blippi and thought the kids would love it and they did. We had Patrick as the instructor and he's awesome. He was patient, enthusiastic and very friendly. Our boys spent a good 30 minutes learning how to operate one of these and they even have "big boy" sized ones for the adults. Great place to bring the kids for something to do while in Vegas. Now when they drive by a construction zone, they say "we know how to operate those"

My husband works in construction and I wanted to surprise him and book a adventure for him. I booked the excavator because he always talks about how he wish he knew how to operate the excavator. Check in was smooth and easy. The guy's there are so attentive to your needs. I got to sit in the waiting area and watch my husband operate the heavy machinery. I also was offered a headset so I could hear them talking to each other. My husband did a wonderful job. What I didn't take into consideration is the fact that in the evening time it was going to be cold. The men there was so concerned and helped me out with warming up while I watch on video my husband. Words cannot express the gratitude I had for this specific one gentleman. He took care of me and showed concern for me. I should have known better and brought my jacket with me but it was warm in the daytime. I cannot express my gratitude. I apologize I forgot his name but he was such an amazing man. Would I return back to this location? The answer is absolutely!

Found this place on Instagram and Yelp! while looking for a family friendly excursion for my family to do while in Vegas. Right now my 2 year old son is huge on excavators so I thought this would be perfect for him, especially since I am unaware of a place like this in the Bay Area where we are from. My cousins all decided they wanted to go with their kids, too. We grabbed a few excavators for 9am and 920am. Reservations were made online and were super easy to do. Those that were helping us on site were very helpful and knowledgeable - in no time we were all digging like pros. We ended up not using one of the digs we reserved as one of the kids were sick so they ended up giving us a free plaque with our group photo. On top of that all of the kids got a certificate at the end and some temporary tattoos !! Definitely had a great time and we will come back.

This place is cool as hell the staff is awesome from the time you walk in till you leave . 15 min seems not to much but feels like 30 min . Take your kids friends parents grandparents they will all have a good time.

This was the perfect place for my sons 3rd birthday party. They were great with communication and answering questions, as I had about a thousand. Upon arrival every time was ready for us and the process was super simple. It was an adorable setup and everyone had a great time, including the adults.

Awesome experience! Feel the power in the comfort of an air conditioned cab. Instructor Ron made it really fun even for a novice. Friends can watch and listen with headphones. YOLO!

We really enjoyed our time here. Today Kai went to Dig This Las Vegas and got to operate a mini excavator (with daddy's help he's only 3). He had lots of fun but said it was a little bit scary because it was too big. The staff at dig This Las Vegas were incredible. They took their time explaining things to the kids (Ally 15yrs also got to operate the mini excavator) and never rushed us. This was a GREAT EXPERIENCE I highly recommend going there if your ever in Vegas. They also have normal sized excavators, bulldozers, backhoes and have an "aggression session" where you can actually crush a car! Check out some our experience here https://youtu.be/VtWWXl1ErCk
