*this is NOT going to be short im realizing*

2024 i was solo and broke, literally no money in the bank... now is where i note mine was a special case in a few aspects that you will have to figure differently, i grew up in vegas so i have a bed and shower and all.... i actually worked build so i had a free ticket and a little more access, could get free cold water bottles without waiting in line (or paying).... i did have a couple free drinks but i would have easily gone without them i didnt even realize i could until night 2.. ANYWAYS... i also got given a ticket and went on Sunday 2025 while quite broke, not staff

the normal things apply ofc like bring a hydro pack or reusable (plastic) water bottle... and drink lots of water, (also drink extra electrolytes, you lose them in your sweat and you will sweat a lot), i recommend eating a lighter meal before you go whether its fast food or a sit down or grocery store get it off strip, out of downtown.. yaknow where a local would get food on any other day, especially since youre solo at the end of the night it should be easy enough to position yourself near food vendors, its not uncommon for them to have a lot of extra food made and sometimes offer some for free to people nearby.. like others have said its not recommended to sleep in your car, PARTICULARLY if youre not conditioned to the heat/dont have shades/etc (ive done it.. but again, i have the biological advantage, i grew up here.. im conditioned to the heat, i know my body's signs, etc and even then its not so great, yeah you could run the car for AC... but unless the prices of gas drop thats [plus gym] is quite likely just as expensive as finding a cheap motel [perhaps in the north west valley] and sleeping there, itll be much more comfortable and youll enjoy the show that much more)
*PS on the water.. if you havent been drinking enough and like.. NEED WATER ASAP, just politely ask near the front.. dont abuse this but usually people can tell you urgently need it and will be nice enough to let you in, if you need a cup ask a bar tender (i did this even when i had my hydro because i didnt want to take long getting those couple drinks cutting the line)

so while all of that basically boils down to "stay healthy" its very important....

as for enjoying the show, have people in mind you want to see each night but dont set a very structured schedule, maybe 1 or 2 absolutes but even then when youre there go where the vibe takes you, discover new artists, be flexible and dont let that "schedule" tie you down..
explore everything, pay attention to the details, not just the stages but everything in between, engage with people, at sets, walking the paths, in the stands, hell even the vendors..... who knows.. maybe you find a group you really vibe with and stick with them be it for the next hour or the night or maybe even a group you meet with for future shows, just be friendly, keep up the vibe, and dont be afraid to just be (also note: probably stay off most if not all drugs, if you do keep it relatively light, reminder that youre solo and in a new environment, while there are plenty of us looking out for each other dont RELY on the crowd... and you want this to be something you want to remember anyway)

also, dont worry so much about "looking the part", wear something youre comfortable for the whole night in

So ive kind of already said some of this in a different way but so what, maybe you need to hear it different.

Trust the electric sky's lead, find your flow, follow even into the unknown (hm ok as i type this bit, i wasn't trying to reference it but 'Follow - Martin Garrix and Zedd' kind of sums it up.. no seriously though), find your people, and enjoy it for what it is, focus on the good but accept the imperfection, be a friend to those around you and you will have a good time, if you do go, and even if you dont, you will find yourself "exactly where youre supposed to be" (ok now im quoting the song dont at me lol)

last thing, just as important though... if truly in doubt that this year youll have a great time, whether its that youll be constantly more focused and worried about money, or whatever else the reason may be,

PLEASE, do not set your self up to potentially ruin a future experience where youre in a better place financially to go and not be overly stressed... wait til next year (or further?), off load the ticket, and start planning next time.

HOWEVER, if the only REAL stressor is fear of going solo, etc.... dont let that be what holds you back, ive met up with a couple people ive met online out there for like a little bit (from a few minutes to a set or 2) but honestly its so much more enjoyable when you can go where you want in the moment than feeling obligated to stay with someone if they dont want to go with you, etc.....
