Las Vegas May 2021

Las Vegas is ready for the return of the Electric Daisy Carnival May 21-23. The biggest electronic dance music festival in the country welcomes about 140,000 people each night over a three-day weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The event was postponed until fall and then cancelled altogether in 2020. So consider the 2021 dates tentative. 

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.

See a Concert in Las Vegas

At this point, we don’t know which shows (if any) will go on as planned in May. After dates were postponed last year, Sting is now scheduled to kick off his “My Songs” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on May 7. The Scorpions are also set to play Vegas for a mini-residency, taking the stage May 8 at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater with opening act Queensryche.

Celebrate May Holidays in Las Vegas

Memorial Day traditionally marks the start of summer and is one of the biggest weekends of the year in Las Vegas. However, Memorial Day Weekend, which runs May 29-31, will likely be relatively quiet compared to the pre-pandemic era. Remain up to date with club schedules & ticket prices.

If there’s little action on 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.

Enjoy deals and discounts on Mexican food and Margaritas at top bars and restaurants for Cinco de Mayo (May 5). 

Take a Dive into a Pool Party in Las Vegas

Much like last year, pool parties are expected to operate as lounges. The best way to enjoy DJs, drinks and other fun by the water is with a cabana or daybed, which typically requires at minimum spend on food and drinks. Don’t be surprised to see some attractive discounts offered. Request a cabana or daybed through Lavish Vegas to learn about comps and special deals.

More fun things to do in May…

Enjoy the best bottle service and VIP package deals at top nightclubs: Hopefully, nightlclubs will return to dominate the nightlife scene in May. Partiers looking to skip the lines should reserve a VIP table, but booking with a club directly is never the best option. Lavish Vegas works with clubs to fill their premium seats at a lower price and is always the best plan for those who desire elite service without wasting money. 

If your group isn’t set on a specific DJ and just wants a great bottle deal, Lavish Vegas can point you in the direction of a stylish lounge or a less hectic nightclub. You won’t wait in line, and we may even comp you a bottle. To get VIP table service and book a great bottle deal complete this form.
