It was probably one of my top 10 favorite memories of my whole life. The best rave experience ever!!!
Heres my review,
EDC isn't cheap. I feel that the experience that you get from it is well worth it especially if you go with great people. If you're not already living in Vegas you have to also pay for Hotel and Transportation. It's best to share a hotel with a group then the Vegas Hotels will be a lot cheaper. I suggest that you book your Hotels way in advance because they do fill up. Using Hotwire or Priceline would be the best way to get the cheapest deals.
Tickets,
The tickets are hard to get especially if you want to buy early bird tickets. They literally run out in seconds. Its expensive. My ticket was 275 and thats getting hooked up my a friend. I know some people who paid 350+ for their tickets. BUT don't worry, you definitely experience a one in a lifetime experience.
Venue,
The venue is perfect with the amount of people that are going. I think they counted the amount of participants was 300,000 people. This is the biggest rave in the WORLD. The Motor Speedway is perfect. Its literally packed. The stages are amazing equipped with amazing lights!! The main stage in 2013 was the biggest stage I've seen in any music event. It was a 360 degree light show!!! There are other smaller stages besides the main stage that cater to other styles of EDM like Dubstep and Hardstyle. There are carnival rides that you can ride. Food there is Carnival food like Hot Dogs, Nachos, etc. FREE WATER!!! FREE WATER!!! FREE WATER!!! FREE WATER!!! so i recommend bringing a camel pack. They sell souvenirs if you want to buy some.The people there are very friendly but I must say PLUR isn't strong as it was back in 2007. We need to change that people. Seriously. We got to keep that going!!
Lines and Traffic,
Considering there were thousands of people that are going... the traffic was REALLY REALLY FAST!! they really stepped it up in 2013. The years before people would wait for HOURS... yes HOURS!!! in traffic... but in 2013 we didnt experience any heavy traffic. We just simply drove to the raceway and they helped us with where we should park.
Entering the Venue is fast too.. Unless you have your Tickets on Standby... We had a few friends that had their tickets in stand by and we waited more than an HOUR until they got their tickets. This was probably my only complaint.
There was a small wait when going to the bathroom if you go in between each Superstar DJ. but if you don't mind missing part of the superstars set then you literally just go straight to the portable and enter the bathrooms. The portables were separated by sexes so it prevents any type of harmful situation. I like this idea.
All in all the best rave ever... If you really love EDM music then you'll really love EDC.
