I had a wonderful time learning to use the excavator! I have wanted to experience using one of these machines for many, many years. I am a 71 year old former preschool teacher//director and the guys running this front office and the instructors were so very, very kind, polite and professional. I was impressed when speaking with two different guys on the phone before arriving, and even more so once I was on site. The office/training area were immaculate, and safety was of the utmost importance. I was treated with respect, friendliness, etc And the operation of the machine was such a great experience. I had a blast! I must say, it was a very intense activity - many more "commands" or manuevers than I had expected ! I kept forgetting one of the commands (right joy stick, away from you). My instructor never lost patience with me!! I dropped one basketball and ran out of time before picking up the third one - but I managed to get one safely picked up and deposited. All other activities I did very well with. It is something I would love to do again! Well worth my trip to Las Vegas and well worth the money!!! Also loved getting a certificate, buying a shirt and cap - and loved the very professionally done photo. Wonderful, wonderful experience! I have told many people (strangers/clerks in stores) about this many were interested in this activity. My son-in-law is in construction and operates every kind of heavy equipment. I better understand his fascination now. And one of my granddaughters (4 years old) LOVES construction equipment, like her Dad, but her favorite is the excavator! I will be visiting soon and will share my experience with her! My friends who watched this experience also had a great time! Thank you! Carolyn

This is a must do! Staff is friendly, knowledgable, and really good at what they do -- which is teach you how to run a bull sizer or excavator. My husband was grinning from ear to ear the entire time -- he became a kid again instantly -- and that smile stayed with him the entire day.

Listen Good and Listen Hard!

If you ever wanted to play with proper full size construction machinery but never had the chance, then you need to visit DIG THIS!

This has got to be the one of the top 5 things I have ever done, and I have done some stuff in my time.

OK, I'm from the UK and we can't do stuff like this without months of training and exams BUT in Vegas YOU CAN.

SO DO IT!!

Staff are so friendly (like most of the USA).
Very relaxed atmosphere (unlike UK driving experiences I have done previously).

Brief Safety talk before hand (makes sense), then jump in and away you go. You get talked through all the way, so NO "what do I do now?" stuff.

Seriously, I can't rate this place high enough.
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
I would go back in a heart beat, NO QUESTION! Loved it!

On my visit, I had a very nice American couple who were - how can I put it? "older than me", and I'm 46, and they had a blast of a time too. So get it booked and have a good time, feel like your top of the world and do something different. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Thank you DIG THIS! for one hell of an afternoon of fun, exhilaration and accomplishment.

"I TOTALLY DUG IT" at DIG THIS!
