| - We are a family of 5, with three kids that are all 'music heads'. Obviously, tickets to this amazing event can come at a pretty penny, but having the opportunity to make payments in installments is a life saver (err, wallet saver).
I planned this weekend months in advance, even figuring out which kid would go with me on what day, depending on the lineup that day. And then my youngest kiddo ended up requiring surgery on the first day that the event was starting. No big deal, he was supposed to go the following evening anyway.
The bestie went in my place the first night, to accompany my daughter. They had a blast, enjoying the art and music. They especially loved Sean Paul.
The second night, I attempted to wheel my son around in his wheelchair. I have to mention that he outweighs me by 40 lbs. This was no easy feat, but I was glad to have mostly asphalt and evened pathways to navigate.
The rolled ice cream was a hit! Long line but it was to be expected. The pizza from one of the vendors was awesome, and we finally got to try water from a carton as opposed to a plastic bottle.
The music! Wow! The variety of music, the layout of the stages, and the actual sound. Being in an outdoor can get tricky with sound, but each stage has mastered this. Bravo! My son and I enjoyed Lil Dicky the most (he's 10 years old and yes, I am 'that' parent).
I really wanted to save the most kudos for last. The layout of the festival spans several city blocks, and even with the amount of people, the distance from each stage from the other, and the fact that I was wheeling around my heavy ass kid, I never once had that hard of a time. This was thanks to two things 1) the set up and layout made this accessible for everyone that have disabilities 2) the people attending the festival were super helpful. We ran into two minor snags throughout the night- one when I couldnt push him over a rubber 'hump' that covers large cords and wires to the stage. People appeared out of nowhere to assist me. The other was in the middle of the Lil Dicky set. The crowd was larger than I had anticipated, and we weren't far enough away from the stage to where my son felt comfortable. I turned on my flashlight on my phone and made my way toward the back of the crowd. People stopped for a second, to make a literal part in the very large crowd, for me to get my kiddo out of there. My apologies to the one or two who weren't paying attention, and ended up having your shin or foot hit or ran over with the wheelchair LOL.
We look forward to attending again, this time without a wheelchair. Very grateful for this festival being in Las Vegas. We love it!
