[@DesaiPlasticSurgery]

This is sooooo helpful! Thank you!

[@DJglobalmexican]

Going 2023 alone so excited for the experience. Thank you for the tips.

[@cameronpanten6876]

Pro tip you can schedule an Uber at the beginning of the night and it’s not effected by surge prices just make sure to get there at the scheduled time

[@makailaaxx1497]

Do you mean like schedule the Uber ahead of time before the night starts ?

[@darkman35]

[@NurseKortney]

Hope to see you there!!

[@BananaPrint510]

I been waiting for a while for a review like this

[@tonynautajr]

I bought premier parking passes for the past couple years and I have to admit, it does save time on driving by at least an hour. The exit for premiere is after the GA exit, so you get to see the carnage that is GA parking as you blow by going like 80 mph lol. Definitely worth the price!

[@KaiEVette]

Thank you for this video boo! I'm so excited for my first EDC!!!! I Was smiling through this whole video!!!! AAAGGHHH!!!! I have so much time to prepare!! its going to be amazing!!! Can't wait to hopefully meet everyone!

[@danielsacoto8759]

First time going can’t freaking wait!!!

[@DRMZBeatz]

EDC TODAY!!!

[@Blackkn96]

Thank you so much for this information, this is going to be my first time going.. can’t wait!!

[@LMN22]

How do you find out about meet ups?

[@lorena.e]

If you can get a spot in camp, DO IT. It is 1000% worth it. There are showers, you can get earplugs and a face mask and you will sleep comfortably. I slept like a baby last year because I went prepared and it is cheaper to camp than get a hotel if you are in a group of at least 5

[@Dionnerivera]

Lorena Estrella We meet again! Lol

[@lorena.e]

Dionne Renae LOL yes!! Hey girl 😂

[@franciscogamboa6475]

What extra preparations, if any, did you make for Camp EDC? I've never done it and would hopefully like to experience it in the future

[@lorena.e]

Francisco Gamboa I 100% recommend Mack’s earplugs (the brown ones) you can get a pack of 10 at Walmart, they are AMAZING. You just need to make sure you put them in correctly because it’s easy to put them in incorrectly. Get those and get a basic eye mask from the dollar store if you want complete darkness. I personally recommend an RV since that’s what I’ve done, and it’s actually pretty cheap when split between 8 people. You also have a fridge and microwave if you get an rv so you can take your own food and save quite a bit on that and can take frozen food as well. Also, go to at least one after party if you can! And lastly, make sure you schedule your day outside of the festival and by that I mean, make sure you’re not getting ready for the festival too late in the day so that you have the maximum amount of time in the festival. It might seem like you have all day beforehand to chill and explore, but at least make sure you are keeping track and if you’re planning on going in at a specific time, that you are ready. It is really easy to go in later than what you originally planned because you were sidetracked. Oh one more actually, try to take a shower as early as possible (after waking up is fine)

[@franciscogamboa6475]

@@lorena.e for sure, what about if you wanted to get to the strip or somewhere outside of Camp EDC? Are you allowed to leave after you've checked in for the weekend?

[@AuraLifewithAsh]

Best advice I believe I got from you and the EDC groups...workout months before not just so you can feel good about how you look but also so you have the stamina to last the night!! 😂😂

[@kortnicloud7165]

Thank you so much for this! EDC is gonna be my first EDM festival and I’m so excited :)

[@miketrejo1072]

Thank you for the info I am so excited to attend EDC 2022. This really got me very EXCITED for my first time attending.

[@amandawaggoner5971]

Thanks so much for this video, Emma. I watched your videos to prepare for 2019; fingers crossed that either next year or 2022 it happens! Can't wait and so excited!

[@silviamv21]

Last year I took Premier shuttles and they were awesome... 45 min tops to and from the strip

[@chelsear2819]

Thank you Emma! This is so helpful. I cannot wait to order that long sleeve btw. 😍

[@rockodonnie]

@Emma Kapotes F^#% Yes !!!! Great job on your video !!!!

[@moplaz1]

It's so far away from now but I'm excited like it's next month 😂🤟♥️

[@jaysityisking]

I am so late to the party but ayyyyyeeee I’m here 💃🏽🕺🏽💃🏽🕺🏽

[@Wiseguy610]

Great video. Super helpful for a first timer.

[@PhDFl0pp]

EDC Vegas 2021 will be my first EDC! Going with a group of friends and we’re getting an AirBnB, thanks for the tips!

[@darienwise6255]

Book your Airbnb as far in advance as possible!

[@Bieber31941256]

Love your videos, this will be my first time ! So excited I’ve been dreaming of going for so long and it’s finally happening ! Thanks for the info 💕

[@ACLUNACRJ]

I'm so excited for this year at camp 💜

[@kaylamartinez1111]

First festival next year ❤️🥺✨ I’m so ready

[@TheTaylor612]

this was the most helpful thing ever. going to my first one ever will be saving this video hehehe

[@EmmaKapotes]

yay happy to help!

[@marioredboy78]

Thank you so much for this info. You answered all of my questions.

[@ccayco]

I have my tickets and camp pass for 2021, and it's almost like this is all I have to look forward to haha. Splitting a tent among three 6ft snoring monsters, hype.

[@Vasilj22]

Love the tips Emma! I've gone to EDC twice now and hoping to go a third. Would you ever consider making a "pro-tip" video for experienced ravers? I feel like there is a lot you can share for those of us that have gone a few times. Keep up the great content!

[@pdv3526]

Great info. Going to edc 22 and I have to agree it is a marathon not a sprint. Walk around and try to enjoy everything being offered

[@Anaizzz]

If camping in shiftpods are you able to park somewhere and leave your car for the rest of the event?

[@eeleek5697]

Early! Nice vid even tho I didn’t finish it yet lol. Stay safe and wear a mask!

[@seanmicheals9463]

I've been to edc solo almost every year since 2007. Yes I choose it cus i have way more freedom. For transportation I personally would not recommend shuttles, ive heard horror stories from close friends that it takes forever to & from the festival. I would get a hotel right off the strip its much cheaper, after all your going to be sleeping mostly when not at the festival. Driving is the best option or take the helicopter(pretty awesome experience). Don't stay till the very end each night its a major hassle getting out. Never plan your night, let the music take you on a journey.

[@Mggggssss]

Who’s ready!?

[@yungsaya]

dead ass the night goes by so fast LOL, my friend said, "yo turn around the sun is out" i was confused because it was only 4-5am and i was like OH SHIT

[@Dionnerivera]

We stayed at the Venetian last year, please please guys do not waste your money we had the worst experience. So many hidden fees , yes it is a very nice hotel but TBH I didn't think the suite was worth what we paid. And it took for ever to get in and out of the hotel.Also keep in mind hotels are a little pricier than usual because it is a peak week & all you really are going to be doing there is sleeping💙

[@DarkPrincessOfLight]

Thanks for the insight!!

[@th-bb4bk]

I know this comment was from last year, but I’m going in May & I’m not sure if i should camp or not? I’ve never camped and i need a good shower, mirror and sleep

[@Free.F1ower.chi1d]

So excited for edc 2021! Thank you for this content

[@peacelovemb1993]

Your rave culture cast long sleeve tho 😍

[@sportzboy895]

biitch im sooo excited

[@anjuna_mtz]

I only get GA+ bc of the bathrooms, I refuse to use porta potties. Plus the short lines to get in is convenient.

[@EmmaKapotes]

Totally fair!

[@andrehebert4115]

Me and my girlfriend just got back from our first edc and it was the BEST TIME EVER! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I can’t tell you how many times I said “that girl on KZbin said we should (insert activity/advice here)”. It definitely helped us survive to the end!

[@wcasey10]

Shuttle outside hotel vs shuttle at hotel. Try to stay at hotel where shuttle is leaving. Shuttled two years away from hotel and tried staying at the hotel where shuttle was at .. such a game changer! Cuts time down to eat or go to sleep

[@NopeJustMe]

Doing EDC Orlando 2021. My first EDC and then this video came up in my feed. So hopefully it will be just as awesome here in Florida! I got VIP access for the bathroom!

[@lucianozenzo]

Hi Emma. I’m from brazil and i wil be in Las Vegas the EDC weekend. I cant go in 3 days. Do you know if there is a ticket for just one day? Thanks

[@afordiam]

How would you say this advice differs for EDC Orlando?

[@EmmaKapotes]

It's pretty different! I haven't done VIP at EDCO, but it's a much smaller experience than Vegas. Orlando has 4 stages, Vegas has 8. The VIP area at kinetic field in Vegas is massive and has a ton of cool stuff in there. Either way it's a more elevated experience and it's a nice option if you don't mind paying more, but Vegas definitely offers way more.

[@aokeefe31098]

You mentioned EDC week, is that the week before like the Monday before the Friday or after the Sunday?

[@EmmaKapotes]

Andrew James it usually starts Tuesday/Wednesday before the festival and goes until the Monday after the festival!

[@aokeefe31098]

Emma Kapotes awesome! Thanks!!

[@DnyAln]

Mabye it’s just my old ass but how is their time for anything else like clubbing pools meet ups ect..when you’re partying till 7am!!?? I ain’t wakiing up till 5pm and back to the festival.

[@harleysandninasmysteryshow7837]

Do you have to have the earplugs sealed or can we have them on already

[@xavipanneton]

Im at artist at EDC and after my last two EDC's staying in hotels, i'd much rather just camp and stay on site. So much easier than having to do a whole driving and parking mission after dancing all night... Might just camp next year

[@faiththomas1749]

Thinking bout going to my first one ( my sister who is younger is a EDC vet since 2011)

[@ksquallfangirl]

Omg yes PLAN BREAKS! You don't want to be in the middle of your favorite headliner in the crowd and you can't enjoy it because your feet are killing you...or else retreat to the back to sit. I may have learned that the hard way 😒

[@toshay10480]

NO....not booking.com. They suck. They are a 3rd party company that really don't save you money. The 4queens and Hotel Apache has no resort fees. For camping VS staying at hotels, you can camp for free off of lake mead Blvd at this place called government wash. Especially if you arrive at the pay post before or after they arrive 8am-430pm. It's also near the freeway to get to EDC. Also there's a road that can get you to EDC from the opposite end from the the strip. So instead of heading northeast you'll be heading southwest on the freeway. They can shower at the gyms and can most likely get a free week pass at LVAC or 24hr. GA vs ga+ & VIP, ga with shuttle is the best way to get in and out of EDC..... PERIOD! 😁👍 New shoes that's meant for running or jogging is a definite MUST! And even though weed is legal in Nevada. I would advise that then doing anything else including drinking. Edibles is the best. BUT DO NOT BUY DRUGS AT THE EVENT OR BRING IT CAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!

[@PeachiiWubs]

Going 2022 with 15 people haha I'm gonna die.

[@ecor150]

Are the lines to the rides long? I don't think I ever seen a vlog of people riding the rides? Are there even alot?

[@EmmaKapotes]

EcoR1 yes they can be depending on the ride! Ferris wheel lines can get long sometimes - vip has a fast pass lane to the front of the line.

[@tonynautajr]

My friends rode the ferris wheel a couple years ago and they said they stood in line for about 45 min to an hour. Best to plan it between you planned sets so you don't end up missing a dj you want to see. ✌️

[@jesigarcia3330]

Thank you for your input Emma! Just to spread some knowledge Ive heard some horror stories of airbnb hosts canceling reservations before EDC to increase their prices and make more money. I hope that doesn't happen to anyone 🥺

[@EmmaKapotes]

Ugh I’ve heard that too! I would def go with a super host if that options available 👌🏼

[@XxHOLLISTERLVRxX]

15:28 Rave Dora cameo

[@InterstellarFae]

Thank you so much for the tips Emma! Just got my AirBNB today and have GA+ with the parking pass. It's my first time going so my only question is How do I get tickets to the pool parties on the strip?

[@TheUnderPowerful]

Do you recommend the mgm app for booking? Gets a 15% on some rooms!

[@SithxRaverxLuis]

To those who want a ticket no worries if I can’t get a camping pass I’ll sell my ticket 🎫

[@chrisaburto95]

will it be hot in October? im Canadian so no idea what it's like

[@EmmaKapotes]

It should be really nice out during the day, but cooler at night. I know in Vegas they usually end their pool season in mid-late October. I'm expecting low 80s during the day and potentially 60s even 50s ( i hope not) at night!

[@davone_ward]

Good video might be going solo or meeting up with friends not sure yet🤣also how much is the helicopter ride🤔

[@EmmaKapotes]

davone ward I think it’s like $800 a person round trip, something like that

[@davone_ward]

Emma Kapotes not bad! Once in a lifetime thing🤷🏾‍♂️lol thank you!

[@rickylopez1899]

Im doing camp edc solo :) 3rd EDC 1st camp EDC

[@nothisispatrick9778]

I can’t wait to go. I got my vip pass on lock and it’s my first time going. I’ve wanted to go since I was in middle school! I already got kandi ideas lol

[@Commonleverage]

As someone who is spending Labor Day Weekend here in Vegas I can easily say that Vegas is about 80 - 85% back to normal. Crowded casinos and sidewalks, nightclubs are open (tables must be reserved), restaurants all indoor dining, about 60% mask usage, but honestly no one really cares here. Another couple months and Vegas will be back at 100% full swing maybe even more so, because many are so eager to return.

[@chelsear2819]

Do the shuttles have a bathroom??

[@EmmaKapotes]

Chelsea Redmond in the past they did!

[@otiliaperez9086]

I remember last year on one of the days. The shuttle I was on did not have a bathroom but the bus driver was cool and he made a stop in case anyone needed to go 😊

[@Dionnerivera]

Chelsea Redmond some of them do, mine did every time except once.the bigger ones that look I guess "tour busses" do. If yours dose definitely go to the bathroom right before pulling up even if you don't feel like you need to force it they are WAY clainer than porta potty

[@cerdanr8093]

Going solo this year !! Mission: get lost in the sauce

[@roycebarraza9936]

Anyone going solo this year?!

[@uforex911]

I’m !!! Keen to group!!

[@fatfitnessvang299]

My group bailed on me i might just camp at edc

[@kahmarstathum2051]

Does it take long to get off the waitlist

[@jazhillxo1668]

PRO TIP: be prepared to hear it’s not going to happen next year either better to be SAFE then SORRY

[@king_1o5]

That last question made me imagine how different it’ll be to trade kandi while social distancing haha go through the motions in the air and toss over the piece of kandi and then hit it with a few drops of hand sanitizer lol

[@codyreedy940]

I really hopw that isn't the case. Or after the kandi hugs and stuff

[@SteveVi0lence]

If edc Vegas isn't canceled to Corona or pneumonia bubonic plague

[@claudialeigh7306]

are you going? may be a silly question! lol

[@Melissa-kq4ss]

I’m so excited for my first EDC!! It’s been on my bucket list for so long!!! 😍🥳💃🏻🍑

[@707AandA]

[@quintonlefrancois24]

Y'all crazy if you think EDC is still going to happen 😂

[@EmmaKapotes]

Quinton Lefrancois I say in the beginning I’m skeptical it’ll happen in May, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make a video preparing people for when it does occur whether in 2021 or 2022. It’s not disappearing forever 🤦🏻‍♀️
