EDC Week in Vegas
What to Expect During EDC Week
EDC Week is the seven-day stretch surrounding Electric Daisy Carnival. Every nightclub and dayclub on the Strip books headliner DJs for special events. Even if you do not have EDC tickets, EDC Week is the single best week to experience Las Vegas electronic music nightlife. The energy across the entire city is electric, with pool parties during the day and mega-club events every night. Club events during EDC Week often feature the same DJs performing at the festival itself.

Tips for The Cal Guests
EDC Week Tips from The Cal
EDC Week club events are separate from the festival itself — you do not need an EDC ticket to attend pool parties and nightclubs on the Strip.
Book guest list as early as possible. EDC Week is the busiest nightlife week of the year, and spots fill up fast at every venue.
Pace yourself. Between dayclubs, nightclubs, and the festival itself, EDC Week can be an exhausting marathon if you try to do everything.
Club dress codes are slightly more relaxed during EDC Week — festival fashion and rave attire are generally accepted at most venues.
Pool parties during EDC Week are just as good as the nightclub events. Build your schedule around both daytime and nighttime sets.
