Heavy‑Machine Playground: Bulldozers, Excavators and a 90‑Minute Team Rush in Las Vegas
A focused 90‑minute session at Dig This where groups of 4–8 learn safety, then operate Big Dig excavators and bulldozers — this guide explains what to expect and how to plan.
Heavy‑Machine Playground: Bulldozers, Excavators and a 90‑Minute Team Rush in Las Vegas.
In the open lot at Dig This on the edge of Las Vegas, groups of friends, families and corporate teams take turns behind the controls of full‑size earthmoving machines. Over a structured 90‑minute session you’ll warm up, learn safety fundamentals, then operate two Big Dig Excavators and two Big Dig Bulldozers to dig trenches, backfill slot trenches, and tackle teeter‑totter and hill tilt‑a‑whirl features — all designed as an accessible, high‑impact group event.

Outing Highlights
Drive Big Dig Excavators and Bulldozers
Your group will operate two Big Dig Excavators and two Big Dig Bulldozers, with several participants driving at the same time — the mechanical scale and direct control are the defining thrills of the session.
Trenches, Slots and Teeter‑Totters
The itinerary centers on hands‑on tasks: warm‑up exercises, digging deep trenches, creating and backfilling a slot trench, plus teeter‑totter and hill tilt‑a‑whirl challenges that turn routine earthmoving into a playful obstacle course.
Structured, Social, and Easy to Plan
Designed for groups of 4–8, the 90‑minute format includes a safety class and a graduation, making it a compact, repeatable event for team‑building or celebratory outings.
What the day feels like
What the 90 Minutes Feels Like
The session moves deliberately from orientation to increasing levels of hands‑on control: a short warm‑up and safety class sets everyone up, then participants take turns — and often share controls simultaneously — driving excavators and bulldozers through a sequence of trenching, slot construction, backfilling and gravity‑play on purposebuilt mounds. It’s noisy, tactile and cooperative: the machines respond directly to input, and the course is set up so teams can alternate roles quickly and celebrate a final graduation at the end.
