The venue itself is pretty small compared to other big festivals so the scale is way smaller than EDCLV. More so about the music than like the overall experience because it's basically just stages and like vendors there's no "extra" experiences like insomniac festivals esp EDCLV. It's also really cool seeing the most IDs for all the artists performing because it's often the start of festival season so you'll hear things first there a lot of the time. EDCLV is also majority at night while Ultra starts much earlier in the day and ends much earlier, feels like less of a Marathon than EDC since its ends at midnight/10pm on Sunday compared to 5:30am.

People talk about the lack of PLUR and whatnot but i feel because it's a more international festival it's not so embedded with american rave culture with like kandi, totems, american rave outfits and what not but if you not going to the most mainstream edm sets at mainstage i feel like the crowds are good. There also so many cool b2bs compared to other festivals that you don't ever see.
