Congratulations! You’ve partied from sundown to sunup at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. And now you’re tired and hungry, and after hours and hours of dancing and walking your legs feel like pool noodles and your feet are protesting with every step. Don’t worry. Vegas has your back, and everything you need to recuperate and get yourself ready for another epic night at Electric Daisy Carnival.
1. Give your body a boost. Prolonged dancing depletes supplies of antioxidants and electrolytes, but you don’t have to guzzle Gatorade to recover. Hit the Juice Standard at the Cosmopolitan for cold-pressed, nutrient-dense elixirs like the immune-boosting Bee WHealthy with cucumber, kale, apple and ginger or the Bee Energized with cucumber, carrot, apple and beet, designed specifically for post-partying sipping.
2. Chill out. Relieve those aching muscles with a visit to Qua Baths and Spa at Caesars Palace, where the Arctic Ice Room provides a chilly experience—complete with snow!—and you’ll find saunas, steam rooms and tubs of various temperatures.
3. Refuel the Vegas way. EDC can cause you to easily burn hundreds of calories, so it’s time to refuel. Lucky for you, the Strip is a buffet of restaurants, from opulent steakhouses and sleek sushi bars to actual buffets, like Bacchanal at Caesars Palace. This expansive, all-you-can-eat banquet cooks up about 500 items daily, so you can fill up on crab legs, dim sum, pasta and tacos al pastor.
4. Stretch out in the sky. Sore muscles love the gentle stretching and lengthening of yoga. But this is Vegas, so there’s no need to lock yourself in a steamy studio to work it out. Take your downward dog and warrior 1 to The Linq’s High Roller observation wheel for hourlong yoga sessions inside moving pods that soar 550 feet above the Strip.
5. Treat your feet. Canyon Ranch SpaClub’s Healthy Feet Center knows what standing up on your feet for long periods does to your body, so let them guide your recuperation. Book the All-Star Treatment for Athletes to address tight muscles and painful IT bands or the Foot and Leg Rejuvenation to reduce swelling and boost circulation.
6. Vitamins are vital. Get your body ready for another night of EDC revelry by first making a stop at Reviv Wellness at MGM Grand. Here, the certified medical staff offers IV infusions and booster shots. Infusions include replenishing hydration or restoring vitamin and nutrient levels. Booster shots include vitamin B12 to help increase energy. There are even IV infusions and shots to help with hangover relief, jet lag and metabolic weight loss.
7. Sp-ahhh escape. Check into The Spa at Aria, where you can enjoy the perks without even booking a treatment. In particular, take some time to relax on the ganbanyoku Japanese stone beds, which help soothe muscles and increase circulation. Or take a seat inside the shio salt room which aids your respiratory system—after a night of kicking up dust on the speedway, your breathing passages can use a good flushing out. There’s also the co-ed infinity-edge therapy pool that overlooks the property’s outdoor pool area, the calming waters will help both mind and body unwind.
8. Proper primping. There definitely is something to the saying “if you look good, you feel good.” Get a cool hairstyle, which includes a shampoo, at Drybar or add some extensions at Original Diva, both located at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. Don’t have the energy quite yet to gallivant around the city trying to find a salon? Then try the company Volume Blowouts. They offer hair and makeup stylists that can come direct to your room.
