| - I have to admit, I didn't think I was going to enjoy Dig This. We were in Vegas to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday and the Dig This experience was something he would definitely enjoy. I was basically along for the ride.
We got off to a rocky start because the Dig This shuttle forgot to pick us up. (I think someone called in sick that day and a communication got lost. When we called to confirm our pickup, they realized the error and came ASAP. Since we started a little late, they made up for it by letting us run longer.) We started off with a quick orientation session. We were introduced to the machines, given a basic overview of how to operate them and the exercises we would perform. I was a bit lost during this presentation and couldn't follow all of the information we were given. I began to get a bit intimidated. The one thing I did catch was that the Excavator is a little easier to operate than the Bulldozer which had more complicated controls. Okay, hopefully I can hop on an excavator.
There were 3 guys and 2 of us girls. After orientation, the 3 guys immediately head for the excavators leaving the 2 girls to the bulldozers. Uhhhmmmmm..... guys? Don't you want the nice, complicated machines? No? Oh, okay. We climb in, put on our headsets and get another overview of the controls. This time, I'm able to follow and understand. (I'm more of a hands-on learner.) Then, it's time to begin!
I HAD A BLAST!! I could not believe how much fun it is to operate heavy machinery! I think this has to be the best amusement park experience Vegas has to offer!
Oh, and btw, the girls ROCKED the bulldozers.
