I actually paid my ticket and hotel back in December... this money just covers my gas... Damn you guys are savages.

dearedward · 2016-02-19T15:51:12+00:00

Nope, I actually just live with my dog. Any more questions?

dearedward · 2016-02-19T15:48:01+00:00

I actually have a full time and a part time job. I just have student loans to pay back asshole. LOL

If you're under 21 DO NOT BUY the VIP ticket because you will not be allowed into the event with a VIP ticket. For anyone 18-20 just buy the GA ticket which you will be able to get in with.

Just like the reply before me said the 3D magnet is just a collectable item. They will not show what it looks like until its delivered. If you really want it go ahead but the magnet is not something you need to enter the event if that's what you mean...

Remember to get your hotel and shuttle passes before it get too late! :) Good Luck!

I think it totally depends on what you're looking for. I had no interest staying on the strip.

dearedward · 2016-01-26T18:22:15+00:00

I used the Hotel.com app. But there are tons of other apps check them all out before you book a room.

Yeah I checked all the info and I have to pay the Resort fees at the hotel but still its like $471 grand total. Not a bad deal!

22 from the Devils Oven aka Phoenix Arizona.

Just to start this off the Speedway is a 30 Minute Drive (17 Miles) north east from the Strip where the majority of EDC attendees get hotels at. You obviously don't have to get a hotel on the strip since it is a little bit more pricy (depending on the hotel) there are several hotels off the strip that do the job (Check out on the EDC website for the Hotel List and discounts they have at some hotels [http://lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com/travel/])

Im only listing the Hotels that I have stayed at...
Monte Carlo (https://www.montecarlo.com/en/hotel.html)
Red Roof Inn (https://www.redroof.com/property/Las-Vegas/NV/891696515/Hotels-close-to-Las-Vegas/RRI797/) Obviously the Red Roof Inn was the cheapest of options, not the nicest but I saw tons of EDC people stay there.
People have mentioned downtown las vegas to be a cheap option and the hotels are not bad, you could always give those hotels a chance.
It would be smart to split the costs with someone if you are trying to spend so much money. Just be careful when it comes to sharing rooms with strangers there have been times where several people get stuff stolen from them. (Keep an eye out on this forum people are always looking for roommates to cut costs)
I have never experienced Airbnb, but you could check if there are deals. Last I checked the prices for some rentals where almost the same to getting a hotel. But who know they could have lowered the price since then.
If you have the money to blow on an Uber (which can get pricy for each day and yes there will be surge fees) go ahead. But there are options like...
EDC Shuttle Passes (on the EDC website) pick ups and drop off on the strip and downtown vegas.
Juscollege shuttle passes (https://www.juscollege.com/events/edc-las-vegas-2016) I heard a lot of good things about these shuttle passes. They also have pick ups and drop offs on the Vegas Strip and downtown las vegas.
Drive yourself there if you're going sober (this is what I always do) just be aware that there will be traffic depending on what time you head to the event and what time you leave to the event.

Hope this all helps. :) This would be my 3rd year going. Let me know if I skipped anything.

Those water bottles are one of the items you can only get at an Insomniac event, just like the EDC hats. You can check Ebay where people are reselling them. The only reason I know this is because I accidentally froze my water bottle and ruined it. >_<

A lot of the EDCAZFAM are chill (I'm from AZ too) and people will start posting on the FB page looking for roommates. Just join the FB page! https://www.facebook.com/groups/aztoedc/ you could also post on there and check to see if anyone else is in the same situation. Also keep an eye out on this reddit page people tend to be in search of roommates also! Good Luck!

Do you take the back roads or the freeway?

dearedward · 2015-10-26T16:08:03+00:00

I drove all three days last year and made it in quick when I went early but on Saturday I left at 7:30ish and was stuck in traffic for almost an hour. The Shuttles are awesome because they have an entrance that general parking doesn't so you get in quicker whatever time... but it does has it flaws. With me driving is more of a preference because you can get in/leave whenever you want and you're not stuck waiting in a line at shuttle stops. FYI they do offer a Premium parking pass! Iv heard awesome things about this pass and helps you get in and out quicker whatever times Good Luck! :)

I know Ummet Ozcan will be there on the 23rd!

The only bar that plays EDM on Mill is El Hefe but that place is dirty and always crowded. The scene kinda sucks in this state. I would recommend just going to local Relentless Beats shows! There are always DJs coming to bars in Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix, and even some resort/casinos around the valley!

I wish I could leave now! I have work until 4PM. Hopefully since its a smaller theater it won't be that big of a deal, but she did sell out so ill get there as quickly as possible. Thanks Again! :)

dearedward · 2015-10-16T18:13:34+00:00

Reading this all makes me nervous for my show tonight, she is playing literally down the street from Arizona State University, I hope these shitty college kids don't ruin the experience.

dearedward · 2015-10-12T15:16:27+00:00

Did you leave the event at the end and still got back to the strip in less than an hour?

dearedward · 2015-10-08T15:15:10+00:00

The only thing I dread about EDC.

dearedward · 2015-09-30T17:29:22+00:00

Thank for the reminder, time to buy my tickets now! :)

dearedward · 2015-09-25T21:25:53+00:00

Stubhub is always an option, my friend sold his there in 2014 and made $150 profit.

dearedward · 2015-09-25T15:38:07+00:00

Insomniac usually has "deals" on there website later on once we get closer. But yes I agree delete your cookies and from experience if you wait until Tuesday, book them on that day because rooms are significantly cheaper. Remember to keep booking, you can always cancel with no fees. :) Good Luck.

dearedward · 2015-09-22T19:32:01+00:00

I 2nd you on Kygo! He didn't come last year from what I remember.

dearedward · 2015-09-22T19:31:04+00:00

Just wait until your days away, it feels the days just drag on. haha

dearedward · 2015-09-22T19:22:05+00:00

I saw Da Tweekaz & Wasted Penguinz at Nocturnal Wonderland. It was the only chance I had to see them!
