La Vida Loca! We only gon’ live once! The flagship EDC Las Vegas carnival – held each spring at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway – is an all-out three-day rave extravaganza. It’s a technicolor playground of bass drops, neon lights, and mind-blowing art installations. In 2024, well over 525,000 ravers from around the globe flocked to Vegas for EDC.
With nine massive stages pumping music 24/7 and towering art cars roaming the crowds, it truly feels like a city built for music and PLUR. From dawn until late at night the Speedway transforms into a pulsating “carnival paradise” of DJs, lasers, and costumed performers – a multi-sensory party unlike any other. You’ve got to dress up in your wildest neon raver gear, light up your wearable LED art, and get ready to dance under the Vegas sky – this is one festival weekend you won’t forget!
Are Vapes Allowed at EDC Las Vegas?
I mean, who wouldn’t want to come here with a vape? What else is gon’ lit up the mood further? So, yeah! Vapes are allowed, but well, with strict guidelines. If you’re a fan of disposables, your vape must be factory-sealed upon entry. For refillable vapes: mods, pods, vape pens, and the like, they must empty of vape juice upon entry, this implies you won’t be allowed to come in with your opened vape or disposable.
For campers, you’re allowed to come in with one bottle of e-juice per person, and it must be factory-sealed upon entry. It’s just a few days of carnival, so one bottle should be enough for such a short stay, even if you’re a chain vaper. Even so, you can find some guys selling premium vapes and juices just outside the carnival venue—Insomniac hosts a special #VapeVillage event outside the festival ground.
Best Outfits for EDC Las Vegas
When it comes to EDC outfits, the only rule is, to wear what makes you shine! Vegas will be hot by day (often 90s°F), and cooler by night, so layers are key. Your gear should flaunt neon colors, sparkles, holographic, or even tribal-festival prints. Reflective and glow-in-the-dark fabrics are huge – in fact, reflective clothing is cited as “one of THE hottest looks in festival fashion,” guaranteed to pop in photos under flash.
Fantasy and fairycore themes are also big (think wings, tutus, or flower crowns), as are trippy prints and pastel rave looks. Come with a light jacket or hoodie in a locker, or wear layers that you can tie around your waist.
You should equally have a small crossbody or fanny pack to carry your essentials (phone, wallet, portable charger, etc.). Some partygoers may bring hydration packs or camelbacks (empty, to fill with water inside).
The EDC Las Vegas carnival will have you do a ton of walking and dancing, so, high heels may be fun, but maybe save those for the after-party! Come with your sneakers, preferably, compression socks or athletic shoes with good arch support.
Best Vapes to Bring to EDC LV
Planning on attending the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas this year, here are some top-level vapes to spice your moments.
1. RAZ RYL Classic 35K
The RAZ RYL Classic 35K is a legendary disposable vape, remarkable for its plethoric flavor offering. But, far from the plentiful flavor offering, this bad guy device flaunts a classic appearance that compliments its name—featuring a chain lanyard and a sleek leather-wrapped body.
It’s also got a built-in HD display that shows the battery and mode/wattage selection. The capacity is 16.5mL, the estimated puff count is 35k hits, and it’s powered by an 820mAh battery—you’re certainly gonna have the weekend you envisioned.
2. SMOK Spaceman Prism 20K
Here’s another hard-hitting bad guy, the SMOK Spaceman Prism 20K. This one literally lights up your night and makes you get head-over-heels. The Spaceman Prism flaunts a stunning sleek appearance with a vibrant, full-color 1.77-inch animated smart display (a first-of-its-kind on a disposable), with RGB backlighting.
Vaping this guy under those trippy lights delivers some sought of nostalgic feelings. There are three power modes (Boost/Normal/Soft) to toggle, and it’s got a transparent e-juice indicator on the side. You definitely won’t exhaust 20k puffs on the EDC getaway, so this is just enough for the hangout. It’s powered by a 1000mAh battery, firing up to 20W power in Boost Mode.
3. VAPGO PUFFEZY Planet X 25000
No way you won’t love this one—VAPGO PUFFEZY Planet X, which promises up to 25k puffs. This disposable comes with a distinctively designed 3D curved screen and flaunts smoothly curved edges. The display puts out invigorating animated effects as you puff, which delivers some sort of energizing feeling that matches with the vibe on EDC grounds.
Offering an 18mL juice tank and powered by an 850mAh battery, this disposable is a perfect pick for many ravers. Its design is festival-worthy, and the vaping performance is outstanding across the dual modes: Super Mode and Regular Mode. Let’s get this party started!
4. Vookbar Cyber PRO 30000
Love you some hi-tech stuff? Then the Vookbar Cyber PRO would thrill you; it’s a smart disposable vape with BT connectivity support, which allows the vape to offer built-in applications that could come in handy in different scenarios.
The Cyber PRO 30000 is a vape-phone. It has a big 2.01-inch touchscreen and promises up to 30,000 puffs in Normal mode (15,000 in Power mode). The device is powered by a rechargeable 850mAh battery and integrates a phone-finding beacon, remote selfie camera control, and even call functionality—you’re never gon’ lose your phone in the EDC LV.
5. Pyne Pod Click 66K
So, all these sub-30k-puff vapes don’t seem like what you’d love? Well, here’s one that promises up to 60k puffs! Now we’re talking, right? Pyne Pod Click 66K is a brand-new beast on the market (fresh at the Vapingland store).
It’s got serious stamina, comes as a pack with two pre-filled pods, and delivers head-turning hits in Boost mode. The design is busy—quite a rugged appearance with a lanyard holder (lanyard not included). This is a sure bad boy for the EDC!
EDC Food & Drink Prices – What to Expect
Eats and drinks at EDC carry that classic festival markup, so plan ahead. You’ll find food courts with everything from veggie burgers to ethnic street food but expect to pay roughly $15–20 for a full meal.
Quick snacks (chips, popcorn, fries) run about $5–10. Alcohol is pricey: beers and ciders are usually $12–15, cocktails $15–18, and non-alcoholic drinks (sodas, energy) around $5. Bottled water typically goes for $3–5 (though Insomniac also provides free refill stations around the grounds).
Overall, you should budget $50–150 per day for food and drinks. On the positive side, all vendors accept cards (and even Apple/Android Pay), so you can go cashless.
How Many People Attend EDC Las Vegas?
EDC LV is massive. Recent counts peg it around 500,000+ total attendees over three nights. In 2024, for instance, Insomniac reported that “well over 525,000” ravers converged on the speedway – more than most music festivals can dream of. That’s why the event often causes epic traffic jams on the freeway afterward.
Each night can feel like 150–180 thousand people flooding the grounds, so you’ll experience some crowds, but the production is designed to handle it. Expect big lines for stages and vendors, especially during headliner sets. Just arrive early if you want good spots, and work the schedule (hit smaller stages or gallery areas during peak times at Main Stage).
EDC Lockers
Lockers are available for rent to stash your extra layers, phone charger, snacks, and other non-prohibited items. Each locker is about 8″×12″×18″ – big enough for a daypack or purse – and includes a universal phone charger inside so you can juice up your device and come back later. You can choose GA or VIP locker locations (VIP kiosks near stages require VIP wristbands).
The rental price depends on how many days you need; prices range from roughly $30 for a one-day rental up to about $80–$100 for the full 3-day weekend. (They often run deals if you book early.) Once you’re in, you have unlimited in-and-out access to your locker throughout the event hours, making it easy to grab a jacket or refill water as needed.
What Items Are Banned at EDC?
EDC security is famously strict – they want everyone safe and focused on the music. The carnival organizers have a detailed published list of prohibited acts and items. These include:
· No outside food or drink of any kind (this includes bottled water, snacks, alcohol, candy, etc.). All beverages are sold inside (though free water refill stations are available).
· No weapons or dangerous items, obviously – this covers any knives, pepper spray, fireworks, lasers, air horns, or anything that could harm others.
· No illegal substances or kit. Of course, EDC has zero tolerance for drugs.
· No large flags, poles, or projectiles – things like Frisbees, balls, large umbrellas, or tents are prohibited. (You can bring a collapsible totem up to 10’ tall, but it must follow the rules.)
· No glass, cans, or coolers – everything must be plastic or metal (but no outside booze).
· No professional camera/video equipment (no detachable lenses, tripods, etc.), and no recordings or livestreaming gear. Bring only small point-and-shoots or phone cameras.
· No costumes resembling real uniforms. This means no dressing up as a cop, SWAT officer, security guard, medic, or any real public safety figure – even in jest. (Creative costumes are fine, but impersonating authority is off-limits.)
In short, pack light and leave anything bulky or suspicious at home. Planning on a backpack? It must be clear plastic (no larger than 12”×6”×12” for GA) or a small clutch. These rules keep the festival safe and stress-free, so everyone can dance worry-free.
You can literally see the full list of prohibited items on the carnival’s official guidelines page — just scroll down and find it.
Introducing EDC Colombia 2026
It appears Insomniac is expanding the EDC vibe beyond Vegas. In a recent press release, the group announced an EDC Colombia 2026, which would go on to be the first-ever Electric Daisy Carnival in South America. Set for October 2026 in Medellín (Unidad Deportiva Atanasio Girardot), this debut promises the same EDC LV spectacle for Latinos. Insomniac will partner with local promoter Paramo Presenta (who also does EDC Mexico) for the EDC Colombia 2026.
What More?
Although expanding further, for now, EDC Las Vegas is still the biggest American dance carnival; with the EDC Colombia of next year, maybe, just maybe, we may soon be having an “EDC Latin America” travel package tying Colombia and Vegas together. In the meantime, bring on your vapes, and let’s go puff some sh*t out!
