The skinny jeans, the day glo face paint, the “who are you looking at old-timer?” glares are all back in town,
That can only mean the real EDC (electric daisy carnival) is back at the Las Vegas International Speedway. 
Our friends at Palomino are a stone’s throw from this three-day celebration of music, art and love. Youngsters, please don’t tip with daisies, or other shrubbery. The only greenery dancers want from you are American dollars or weed.
Shaquille O’Neal AKA DJ Diesel will steal the show (he’s playing Friday night). Headliners include Deadmau5, Tiesto, David Guetta, Zedd, Yolanda Be Cool and so many others like Duck Sauce and Eric Prydz!
The festival is sold out. Weekend passes are selling for $500, and premium packages go for $1,000. That dough buys a lot of peace and love! The carnival brings in over 300,000 partiers and reems of cash (crypto?) … so welcome to Vegas for the 11th time EDC! That’s almost 5 Super Bowl crowds at Allegiant Stadium. Attendees have told me it’s a great time, worth every cent.
EDC is more than a concert …. it’s a billion-dollar traveling enterprise that has some wonderfully optimistic values, and some deep pocketed sponsors like Verizon, Corona and Snapchat. At the risk of making a few EDC fans faint, big carbon footprint Allegiant Airlines and Uber help fund their weekend!

Let’s Get Married at EDC
But I’m an old-fashioned romantic. I was most struck by the wedding options at EDC. Vegas is still the Wedding Capital of the World … and EDC rides that groovy wave! The Carnival offers complete wedding packages for legal unions, as well as non-legal commitment ceremonies and vow renewals.
Note: All wedding participants and guests must have EDC tickets, purchased separately.
WEDDING CHAPEL OF TECHNOLOGY
The Techno Chapel is an art piece on its own. The metal combined with the vibrant luminescent colors make this wedding chapel one of the most spectacular places to say yes to your loved ones!
WEDDING CHAPEL OF NATURE
Nature is prevailing in this chapel of love. The vibe is flower power, love, and connecting with each other and nature.
LEGAL UNIONS
An EDC Las Vegas wedding offers everything you need for your special day! Each package includes:
- An EDC minister
- Use of the Daisy Electric Bouquet
- Reserved time slot
- Option to play personal music

- Mini dessert for couple
- Wedding lounge for couple to freshen up

Use some of the cash wedding gifts of the dancers working hard this EDC weekend!
Let’s hope every one of those 300,000 EDC’rs have a great time in Las Vegas.
Stay safe … have fun!
The End
If you try to tip a palomino dancer with a shrubbery, she shall say unto you NI and from hence forth they will be the strippers who say NI
Bring out ya’ dead!
