Regardless of how anybody feels about these huge music festivals me and some friends are adding one night as a part of our Vegas trip this June. Has anyone on here gone to the EDC - Vegas trip, if so, did you do VIP? I don't want to hear people comment on how VIP is for yuppies or any of that shit. I went to Together As One and was DAMN glad I did VIP. The GA was way too crowded and you couldn't get anywhere without being moshed from what I could see. I'm hoping the EDC VIP areas has decent bars but if it is just a joke then we'll just go GA and save the money for gambling and drinking.

I heard the VIP package includes hotel stay at Circus Circus.... If thats true, then thats not VIP thats VI-SHIT, as Circus Circus in Swahili means "shit hole hotel." If thats true, and thats the hotel thats part of that deal, I would recommend you go GA. UNLESS there are other better perks that come with it, and that at that point, just pick a better place to stay.

I went last year GA and I had a lot of fun. Last year the VIP section looked cool, but it was really detached. You had an awesome view of the main stage, but that's about all I noticed. I think if you don't have any intention of meeting new people, or like dancing around with random folks then VIP is for you. I think it was a little too detached for me.

Not true. You can buy the tickets separately or buy packages that include different hotels. We're only buying a single day so we didn't do a package deal. Got a great deal on a room through their site though. I'll die before I stay at Circus Circus.

VIP for us is usually more so that we can go hang back away from the crowd when we want to grab drinks. I enjoy going out and meeting people but having a shorter line for drinks is phenomenal.

The drink lines weren't that bad last year because they had so many different places to buy them, but I see what you mean.

Should be nuts. It was pretty much EDC week last year even though it wasn't established. Now that Vegas is supporting it, the whole week of the show should be nuts

tekno_violet
04-02-2012, 10:13 PM
Yeah a meet up at a casino would be cool at the bar or something.

I'd prob only go for 1 or 2 days.

It does get pretty nuts with all the edc patrons running around. Vegas loves the revenue thats for sure. This year should be setup alot better than last years now that they are situated and have been selling tickets way earlier.

I'll be there. Getting there early Friday morning (anyone up for a round of golf?) then staying through Monday. We're only going Saturday night. Hit up the casinos and clubs the other nights. I'm definitely down for a meet up. Where is everyone staying? We're chilling at the Luxor. Nice pool plus save some $$$ for entertainment. IDK people try and spend all their money on a hotel room they will be in for maybe a few hours at a time.

Hell fucking yeah they are. Their Facebook page is getting ripped apart because people are pissed they haven't posted when they are going on sale yet.

Definitely one day tickets going on. 3 days of EDC in Las Vegas = death. One day EDC, one day golf, drinking, pool, gambling, and then repeat.

I had a lot of fun all three days. One of the days though I was super tired and I took a nap on the concrete in the lounge area. Someone kicked me awake to make sure I was okay :lol:

Dont hold your breath for 1 day tickets guys.

If I find someone to go with i'll have to fork out $300 for 1 or 2 days then sell the last day for $ 30 bucks or so...

Will.i.am is pretty cool.

Smallz
04-06-2012, 10:50 AM
Last time i saw Will.I.Am he was awful. Horrible mixing and mediocre track selection.

Maybe he's improved over the last couple of years, but man I did not enjoy his set.

Other than that, lineup looks great. Kinda crowded, but that's to be expected over 3 days. Would love to see Angger Dimas and MSTRKRFT.

Come on guys, stop telling people this. This is directly from their site, they have ALWAYS done this. "There will be a very limited quantity of single-day tickets available at a later date." They've posted it a million times on Facebook and Twitter when people ask.

Had my EDC plans change. I was originally supposed to drive out...but now I won't be able to do that as I have to fly out and meet up with everyone. I cannot even remotely not make it back for work on Monday. Can't chance an issue with the car because I drove.

Saturday would probably be the best bet. If I recall correctly, Day 2 was best for me. I don't really have a reasoning why.

Does anyone know if the 3 day pass comes as individual tickets for each day or is it a single ticket with 3 days of use.
I'm looking at buying a 3 day weekend pass, but hoping to sell the day or 2 I may not use.

DJNR
04-19-2012, 02:43 PM
It's a plastic credit card type thing that they scan when you get to the gates.

Lazy O
04-19-2012, 02:54 PM
Not sure if it's true, but I heard that instead of the credit card thing, they're gonna be braclets this year. :shrug:

djKlassiC ®
04-19-2012, 02:57 PM
thanks for the info DJNR

anybody on here looking to go Friday or Sunday? I can let you use the pass for Friday or Sunday and then get it back from you on Sat.

If anyone wants to work something out on this, let me know. I'm going with 3 friends so there will be 4 available. Friday & Saturday single day tickets are sold out. It will save you a little bit of money ($26 each ticket) if you were going to purchase a single day ticket.

or if anyone with weekend passes wants to sell Sat. let me know... I haven't purchased the weekend pass yet.

EDIT: Hmm, if its wristbands this year. maybe there will be a wristband for each day. That would make it much easier.

djKlassiC ®
04-19-2012, 03:11 PM
Just called, they said they were going to do wristbands but decided to stay with the card.

M!TCH
04-20-2012, 08:18 AM
Yeah, there is no way they are doing wristbands. By trapping people into the 3 day pass they are making $$$. Better to be able to fill all three days instead of just having Fri & Sat packed and Sun be their weak day. Sunday will be the least amount like it was last year but still, having tickets individually loses them $.

We need to get DJF meet up on here going. Anyone a golfer that is going? We're flying out of Denver that Friday morning.
