Dig This

800 W Roban Ave · Las Vegas, NV

Why you should go…

Dig This is a heavy-equipment playground on Roban Avenue in Las Vegas where visitors run real construction machinery. Under professional instruction, you climb into an excavator, bulldozer, backhoe, skid steer or wheel loader and dig, push and drive across the dirt. Sessions run 45 to 90 minutes, and no prior experience or driver's license is required. It also hosts corporate events and birthday parties and runs a heavy equipment operator academy.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
