[TheKingdom2000]

This trip was one of the most amazing weekends of my entire life.
I was especially looking forward to it because this last year was one of the worst years of my life. I had absolutely no time to party or hang out. I was just busting my ass in grad school.

For me...
We stayed at the Vdara. This was amazing because there was no casino there. So the place was cleaner (no smoke) and not as busy/loud all the time. Just young people (mostly edc crowd) happy and ready to party. I liked that a lot compared to the other hotels with casino's.

We went to Marquee for a pool party with Mat Zo and Above and Beyond.
This was so fcuking amazing. If you have never been to a pool party I feel sorry for you. It's one of those things where you can't even put to words how awesome it is. The atmosphere, the people, the music, the energy. Fcuking unbelievable. It is super draining though. The sun and the booze really takes the energy out of you. So to do EDC the same night was a little rough. But, still doable. It is Vegas after all.

EDC itself was spectacular to say the least. When you sit back and think about the shear amount of attractions, shows, lights, people, stands, installments, etc. It was fcuking ridiculous.

They had these giant flame throwers that when you press the button they just launch fire in the sky and you get so warm. They had three. At first we were like WTF is this shit. It's so random and useless, besides it was warm already why would anyone want to be blasted with so much heat? Then after a night of going hard and your body is beat to shit, sitting underneath this thing was so energizing. You could literally feel the heat refueling your body, it was a wicked experience.

I agree, the main stage (kinetic field) sound was weak. It was still good, but not as good as ASOT stage (circuit grounds). We were pretty much at the front for the main stage, the middle, and the back over the weekend so we got to experience the sound at pretty much all distances and a lot of us noticed that the sound wasn't as good as ASOT stage. ASOT stage sound was some of the clearest, crispiest, and cleanest sound I have ever heard.

The girls at EDC.. HOLY HELL. The costumes, the people, the atmosphere, and everything was just amazing. Thinking back on everything you can really put into perspective how fcuking amazing EDC was. I think when you're there you are so overwhelmed with it all.

The only regret I have is not exploring the grounds more. There were so many attractions I wish I saw. I definitely want to go again next year. It was an amazing trip.
