Peace, love, unity and dance invade the city this week as Electric Daisy Carnival sets up camp (literally) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, May 19-21. More than 230 artists and DJs will take nine different stages to groove the crowd with EDM music from sundown to sunup.
However, if you didn’t score tickets to the festival, or you did but just want to double up on the fun, various nightclubs, dayclubs and entertainment venues on and around the Strip have scored performances from some of EDC’s DJs. Here’s your chance to catch the following, not only at Electric Daisy Carnival but also at:
• Zouk at Resorts World Las Vegas. The Strip’s newest nightclub—with one of the coolest technological features called The Mothership—welcomes some of the festival’s biggest names like Tiësto (May 17 & 22) and Slander (May 17);
• Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World Las Vegas. Zouk’s daytime counterpart, this dayclub gives off Southeast Asia island vibes and welcomes Tiësto (May 20) and a special performance by EDM juggernaut Kaskade (May 21);
• Tao Beach at The Venetian. The recently redesigned dayclub invites Above & Beyond (May 18) and Fisher (May 20);
