Electric Daisy Carnival Kicks Off May 17

The Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be a packed house next weekend for the Electric Daisy Carnival.

EDC has historically been one of Southern Nevada’s largest attended events, and this year’s ticket sales prove no exception.

Tickets have already sold out, and more than 450,000 concert-goers will attend. The three-day festival begins at sundown Friday, May 17 and lasts until sun up Monday, May 20.

This year’s festival was moved a month ahead of schedule, as organizers tried to avoid dangerously hot temperatures which have resulted in hundreds needing medical assistance.   

Sink your teeth into our annual collection of dining — and drinking — stories, including a tally of Sin City's Tiki bars, why good bread is having a moment, and how one award-winning chef is serving up Caribbean history lessons through steak. Plus, discover how Las Vegas is a sports town, in more ways than one. Bon appétit!
