| - EDC is the type of event that you HAVE TO experience... I don't think words can justify the insanity and love that goes on in this carnival. Even if you're not into EDM, this is just one massive party everyone in their 20's need to go before they get old and raise a family. Trust me, you must. This is located next to an airforce base... there were soldiers checking in shuttles and taxis. Plus have you noticed helicopters circulating the speedway? It felt VERY SAFE. There were also tons of cops and workers all across the speedway making sure everyone is safe.
EDM is only getting bigger, so tons of people including not so cool people are attending EDC. Yes the plur life felt pretty real in this carnival, but there were still douchebags (one guy threw a cigarette on my foot, he said sorry but that was pretty damn annoying and it took a lot to shrug it off with a smile) and sluts attending this event.
This event exceeded my hype and expectations. Upon entering I almost cried trying to intake the entire carnival from the bleachers. There was just too much to do with 8 main stages, rides, foods, drinks, etc that I don't think 3 days is enough. I went only for 2 days (sold my Sunday pass for $100), thus I only paid $130 (got the early bird special for $230). WELL WORTH IT! Sensory overload from everything going on. The sets were so good: fireworks + lights + lasers + bass + music + great vibe from around... I don't know how to explain it...
My boyfriend lost his cell phone but someone was nice enough to return it to lost & found (PLUR!). I called his phone the next day in case someone would answer, and yes, guest services from EDC answered! Hallelujah! We picked it up on EDC Saturday, but couldn't get it till the end (they didn't have his phone in the beginning, lame).. also the line for the lost and found was RIDICULOUS. At the end of the night, the booth was moved from lost&found to will call outside the venue after the event! The line was horribly controlled, people were cutting, took an hour and a half to get my BF's phone...
The shuttle going home past 6am was RIDICULOUS. So bad, that we didn't arrive at our hotel till 9am. The line for Mandalay Bay (not even where we were staying, it was the shortest line at that moment) were the last ones to leave! I was so pissed! They need to improve upon evenly spreading out the shuttles per hotel.
Anyways, excellent event. Insomniac did a great job providing to the massive 300,000 people attending this event. There were some flaws but overall, I was impressed at how organized and amazing this event was. I thought this would be my first and last EDC... nope. I want to go back next year!
