Trip to Vegas

In the airport right now chilling before my flight in Vegas. Even though I'm not 21 nor was I able to get one of the promoters to sneak me into Hakkasan, Omnia, Wet Republic, or Marquee I still had fun.
First day we arrived we checked into Caesar's Palace and we went out and explored Vegas the next day. We basically explored the entire Strip, we went into the MGM, Caesars Palace, and checked out all the hotels and casinos like the Linq Highroller and just walked around the strip. I even got a peak at Wet Republic and Hakkasan.
Second day we traveled to California which was like 5 hours away and we checked out Fontana, LA, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Traveling during the sunset past the Mojave desert while stoned was truly surreal.
Third day we went to the Grand Canyon and we passed the vast Nevada and Arizona desert and it was chill because we got to smoke a lot a of weed and I tried some mescaline for the first time and we tripped a little in the Arizona desert.
Final day we went to go see the only show people our age are allowed to see and that is Pin Up with Claire Sinclair and then we got really stoned in our room and then went out and explored the Strip for the final time and it was cool and it made me fall in love with Las Vegas forever.
Despite all the shitty people and shitty rules Vegas has about nightclubs like age restrictions and charging guys more money to get in then girls and dress codes at clubs I have to say Las Vegas is my favorite city. I may not be able to gamble or go to clubs but just being in Vegas was just fun and amazing.
I'm already saving and up getting ready for EDC Vegas next year, investing in some fake IDs so I can get into Hakkasan and Omnia, and overall planning for the full Vegas experience next year. Talk shit all you want about EDC/Omnia/Hakkasan being shitty and for custies but i don't care man, I'm just trying to enjoy my life and that shit looks fun and it honestly doesn't matter what some angry person says about it being shitty on the internet.

I went to las Vegas once. It was for my brothers wedding. I was 18 at the time.
I didn't like the place at all.
It had a very depressing vibe overall.
Casinos and gambling just suck in my opinion. Its not very fun to watch yourself lose money and get nothing in return
At least when i spend money on drugs, i actually get something in return.

sounds like fun man. wait a year or two and go back when your 21. i didnt think the promoters would be able to do anything. they can help up to a point but rules are rules. no one gets in under 21
edc vegas is mad shit. the clubs in vegas aren't that good. as i said they try to keep everything upscale and upmarket, and you pay out the ass for literally everything. and the clubs play all cheesy shit.
EDC is sick though. but at the moment they're seeing whether insomniac resigns another agreement with las vegas. they had a 5 year deal to host EDC in vegas, but that expired this year, and they are reviewing it at the moment in light of all the deaths that happened from OD's. also, vegas put through some new tax on live entertainment that makes EDC have to pay a shitload more tax to host the event in vegas. So it may actaully be moving from vegas, its up in the air at the moment.
but you'll love EDC man. definitely go if you get the chance. PM me if you need any help with anything, i know a bit about it and can probably help
one of the casinos you can base jump off of. i think its the cosmo? not sure. one of the buildings though, they take you up to the top and let you bass or bunjy jump off the top of it all the way down which is supposed to be pretty tits. i'm too scared of heights for any of that and woul dprobably shit mid air and be sprung back up into my own liquid shit.
how cool is the linq high roller as well? the thing is fucking massive!
which hotel did you stay at?? did they let you into the normal hotel pool?

I've been to Vegas twice. Ironically I had more fun when I went there as a kid. I guess it's not really my kind of place. It's like a temple built for consumerism.

The coolest city I've ever been to was Honolulu
There was always stuff going on in the streets at any hour local dudes shredding on ukeleles juggling lit torches and what not
And the girls... so many sexy girls

It would be hard for me to say my favorite city. I guess I'm not a real big city person. Bangkok was pretty cool. Tokyo was cool too. I also enjoy San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego. Vancouver was quite nice too. Washington DC was pretty cool too once you get away from all the flag waving patriotism shit.

Lol yeah man thanks for helping me out with the promoters and shit, I know it didn't end up working out for me but thanks to you I at least had an angle to take in trying to get in.
I stayed at Caesars Palace with my friends and we didn't really bother with the pool. We just explored and what not. They wouldn't let us into the wet lounges anywhere either and the hotel you're talking about is The Stratosphere, the huge tower on the strip and they let you bungie jump off of it. I would have done it but I would have had to be a guest staying there to get on the tower and I was having some post MDMA withdrawal symptoms like some anxiety and mild depression and I just didn't feel like I could do it tbh. I went there to see that Pin Up show, it was the only show I saw the entire time in Vegas because it was the only mature 18+ thing we could do and it was fun (Claire Sinclair is pretty hot).
Linq Highroller was pretty cool, it was like right across the street from we're we were staying and we kind of just went in and smoked some cigs and just chilled and then went to go walk down the strip and it was a good time.
And yeah man I really fucking hope EDC is in Vegas again this year. A lot of people have recently told me that all the other EDC's like Orlando and New York are all jokes and really aren't anything compared to EDC LV. Basically the real EDC experience is in LV so I'm hoping it goes through. It will definitively give me a good excuse to visit Vegas again next year.

Yeah man I know what your saying. I live in the DC area, lots of morons with their patriotic shit but it's not overly common. DC nightlife definitively tops Vegas mostly because the owners of the clubs here in DC aren't all douches trying to maximize profit and keeping a certain status quo for the clubs. That means that here in DC at our clubs we pretty much rage, party, and do all the crazy shit that is hard to get away with in Hakkasan and Omnia. The down side to that is you have tutu wearing idiots and custie kandi kids running rampant in DC clubs like Echostage and I doubt id ever see a kandi kid in Omnia or Hakkasan.
However I think I could tolerate kandi douches and custie tutu wearing dipshits more then I would be fond of the corporate/uptight douches at Hakkasan and Omnia with their dress codes and 21+ rules almost exclusively meant to ensure that everyone who enters is going to spend money on alcohol. I feel sorry for 18+ kids on the West Coast, their is basically no concert venues/nightclubs that will let them in. 18 year olds on the east coast have Echostage which is 18+ and people from states all around DC come and don't have to worry about not being allowed into anywhere.
It's shitty cuz there are no clubs in California that those popular DJs like Tiesto or Calvin Harris visit other then the Vegas clubs which are all 21+. There is basically minimal nightlife for 18 year olds on the west coast. I know this girl who came all the way from California to Echostage in DC just to see Showtek.

Ya edc in vegas is the main one by far. Just like ultra in Miami is the main one too. The town gets pretty cray. Like all the hotels filled with ravers. People on the strip chanting EDC. Like 400++ busses shuttling people back and forth all night. You literally get lost in the carpark like its some kind of no mans land. Mainstage holds up to 80k people alone. It's just MEGGA. Like everything over 9000 and on steroids
Ahh yep, you're right Caesars is right next door to the flamingo and linq, cross that bridge thing. Right near the Bellagio fountains too. I was up on level 23 at the flamingo. Could hear fkn drais rooftop going off from my room . But it was cool though.
People were saying it's more fun to stay more central to the strip cos it's closer to everything and more going on. How massive is MGM? Place is ridiculous. We saw Ka in the theatre there. Even going to the front of hakkasan, you see how big the lines are, you see even those massive two storey bill boards that advertise w/e is going on and you can just see how mammoth the place is lol.
Even just cruising around vegas in a car up and dowb the strip at night and just looking at shit is cool if itself. It's a great town. Definitely an experience. Go back when your 21 and do it properly.
I'm pretty sure they'll keep EDC in vegas. It brings in massive amounts of money to the economy and vegas lives off of that literally.

Majority of those vegas dj's are one and the same. Even above & beyond at wet Republic wasn't as amazing as people say. I've seen then play waayyy better sets at big shows. Still fun to check it all out but Ehh, it's more of a socialite pretentious scene rather then just raging. But still vegas has a tonne of places that just aim to get you blind drunk for real cheap, like fat Tuesdays and heaps of places

Yeah man, I spent half the day checking out the MGM. I also got to the wet republic pool right before the box office and I got to take a pic of myself with the wet republic sign to show off to my buds back in Maryland that I was able to get into WR without being 21
Yeah MGM inside was amazing. Definitively trying to stay there for EDC next year if possible.

Anytime you leave Vegas and you're not bankrupt for the near future, it's a win.
Good job keeping a positive attitude. I know you wanted to see tiesto. You could have let yourself get bummed out.
