EDC Las Vegas 2012

[unknown]

EDC looked like nowhere near a sold out event last year - good luck thinking you will be able to ditch your tickets for double the price.

Single tix were sold out for Friday and Saturday. They were going for around $140. I remember because I was looking for some Friday tickets. But if they're only selling the 3 day pass, I'll have to rethink about it... :/

[WhyTheLongFace]

They aren't only selling 3 day passes. Single day tickets will be available later

For the presale at Escape I mean.

Whatever. A 3 day pass at a discounted price is still worth the purchase I guess.

My friend is thinking about booking a room later this week while it's cheap haha.

Wow the hotel rates are already getting jacked up. Imperial Palace (where I stayed last year) is $199 a night for Friday/Saturday. The weekends adjacent to EDC are $99/night on Fri/Sat. Mother fuckers.

[Distorted_Jungle]

Glad I have a free loft to stay in with a pool on the roof overlooking the strip, sweet deal!

[tmac]

yup hotels already adjusted prices. FUCK. this year is gonna be a LOT more expensive than last year

[the walrus]

hrmmmm
if my math is right...

EDC - skrillex = fairly badass

[Mugwog]

Ugh, hotels are going to be what really fucks the budget up for EDC....

Pretty happy about $125 tickets though!

Bookit.com (found a $400/night suite for $140/night @ Hard Rock Towers)

Huh?

So who is headlining? They wouldn't have repeat headliners would they?

didn't SHM headline the last two years?

[Mr. Fuzz]

the video looks awesome. hopefully, i will be there.

[Oranix]

didn't SHM headline the last two years?

Didn't tiesto/armin/guetta headline the last couple years?

I'm expecting the same shitty headliners: guetta, tiesto, armin, deadmau5, swedishhouse.

I hope plastikman 2.0 will be there.

[pewpew87]

Kaskade will be headlining one of the days im assuming

Kaskade will be headlining one of the days im assuming

he wasnt there this year cause it was in vegas. Those mormans ya know?

[MrAmeche]

he wasnt there this year cause it was in vegas. Those mormans ya know?

He's been a resident DJ at a Vegas casino.

[Oranix]

i think cus he was doing the identity tour?

but ya im sure hell be a headliner as well.

[suprefan]

He's been a resident DJ at a Vegas casino.

This was back when they announced it would be in Vegas 8 months ago. He barely got that residency. I am sure a big paycheck made him think otherwise.

i think cus he was doing the identity tour?

but ya im sure hell be a headliner as well.

I think he ended up on Id because he didnt want to do EDC, so there ya go.

[MrAmeche]

Doesn't sound like Kaskade has a problem with Las Vegas

“I believe this is just the beginning,” Kaskade says. “You’re going to have to build bigger nightclubs. … We need a place that holds 9,000, 10,000, 12,000 people.” His voice rises with excitement. “I think those things are on the horizon. I think we’ve surpassed pretty much anywhere in the world, and we’re only just getting started. That’s so Vegas, though. It’s like bigger, better and badder than everybody else.”

[crosscrops]

My prediction for headliners:

Kaskade
deadmau5
Justice

I think Justice is a streach but if they have end up having somewhat of a decent album with a visually great live show then it's not so far fetched. Plus I imagine they are probably cheaper to book then the usual suspects. If not Justice then I say Armin Van Buuren.

[Mugwog]

Huh?

Bleh could have sworn that first post said $125, or the stoned dyslexia kicked in.

Looks like my group wants to avoid the jacked up prices of hotels this year and do one of those house rentals. Can any wise Las Vegas locals (or intelligent frequent visitors) advise on good safe areas/neighborhoods to stay in and bad areas to avoid? Preferably the closer to the strip, the better, since much of my group will still want to get their tourist fix during the day. If there exists such a neighborhood that is relatively safe and walking distance to the Strip, (extra points if it's near one of the EDC shuttle resort pickups) this would be perfect.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Vegas is a pretty small and safe town. I would just stay away from the Stratosphere...maybe at least a 1/2 mile. And just north of downtown. Otherwise, I would try to find a house with a pool and jaquzzi.

[Geno_g]

Last year had its moments. Sunday was a fucking downer filled with pretty crappy music - wish I stuck with attending 2 days instead of all 3. Sunrise sets were a blast but all my festival funds for next year will be pocketed for my first trip to Sonar.

No serpico?

I'm in...

[unknown]

fucking Serpico...

One thing I will DEFINITELY miss about not attending in 2012 - partying with Geno.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Supre talking out his ass again.

Around the strip you're pretty much only going to find shady neighborhoods, especially north of the Stratosphere. I don't know much about vacation rentals homes, but I'm sure you can find something relatively nice.. My advice would be to look at some of the condo towers that have been going up and see if they have like week long rentals.
