When is EDC?

May 17-19 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway

What to Expect at EDC

The Electric Daisy Carnival operates from dusk to dawn. There are eight stages with DJs performing throughout the evening. The KineticFIELD serves as the main stage, taking up about half of the Speedway and hosting the biggest EDM stars. Roam the festival grounds and you’ll see carnival rides, parades and a neon-colored spectacle that will make you feel like you’re on a totally different planet.

How do I get to EDC?

We’re not going to lie. The traffic sucks. If you’re driving, expect to be stuck outside the Speedway for hours. Some people choose to wait until 11 p.m. or later to make the commute. (This is an all-night festival after all.) Others spend the extra cash on a flight. Maverick Helicopters is the official helicopter company for EDC, taking ticket holders to the festival from the Strip in about 15 minutes. Charter buses are also available. Depending on the time, they’ll get stuck in traffic too. But at least you’ll be partying with fellow festival attendees.

What to Wear at EDC

The short answer: whatever you want. Just avoid complete nudity and you’ll be fine. Neon wigs, skimpy outfits and fuzzy boots make up the wardrobe for most of the women. Guys stick to shorts, t-shirts and hats, and seem to do okay. But this is your time to let loose. Get colorful and creative. If there’s a place where no one will judge, it’s EDC. So have fun. Just remember: the festival operates on positive energy. Don’t be a jerk and don’t be offensive. Otherwise, you’ll do just fine and make plenty of new friends along the way.

Vegas Uncork’d

It’s safe to say Vegas Uncork’d is the biggest culinary event of the year in Las Vegas. The event typically lasts four days with names like Gordon Ramsay, Guy Savoy and Giada de Laurentiis leading a series of tastings, dinners, brunches and anything else you can imagine at their namesake restaurants. Everything culminates at the Grand Tasting at the Garden of the Gods pool at Caesars Palace.

Memorial Day Weekend 

Memorial Day traditionally marks the start of summer and easily marks one of the biggest weekends in Las Vegas. Book your hotel early. Memorial Day Weekend runs May 24-27 this year and as always, the crowds will be huge. Expect long lines to restaurants, nightclubs and pool parties. Fortunately, you can stay up to date with club schedules & ticket prices.

If you want to avoid the chaos of the Strip, you may prefer the beaches, boating and jet skis of Lake Mead and Lake Las Vegas, each just minutes outside the metropolitan area. Lake Havasu in Arizona and Lake Powell, which borders Arizona and Utah, are both worth a road trip as well.

Pool Parties

May is one of the busiest months of the year for pool parties, especially on Memorial Day Weekend. Celebrities and VIPs flock to the biggest dayclubs while top-name DJs provide the entertainment.  The best way to enjoy these wild events is with a cabana or daybed, which typically require at least a $1,000 commitment toward food and drinks. Request a cabana or daybed through Lavish Vegas to learn about comps and special deals.

Cinco de Mayo

It’s not quite as busy as Memorial Day Weekend, but Cinco de Mayo definitely packs in the crowds on the Strip. Think of it as the perfect pregame party for summer. Bars and restaurants offer deals and discounts on Mexican food and Margaritas. Traditionally, Vegas likes to host a big-name boxing fight during Cinco de Mayo Weekend too, although no announcements have been made yet for 2019.
