Tips for Surviving and Thriving at EDC Las Vegas: A Guide for Older Ravers

Are you a seasoned raver looking to make the most out of your experience at EDC Las Vegas this year? Look no further! A 40-year-old raver with over a decade of experience in the scene has some valuable tips to share to ensure you rave to the grave.

First and foremost, pack smart. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is vast, so be prepared to walk plenty of miles each night. Pack only the essentials such as your phone, ID, credit/debit card, electrolytes, gum, chapstick, earplugs, hand sanitizer, an empty water bottle, a chilly towel, and a small long-sleeve shirt for the temperature drop. Travel light and consider renting a locker to go hands-free.

Treat your body with kindness and avoid burnout. Take breaks when needed, hydrate with electrolytes, and make sure to eat a solid meal to keep your energy up. Remember, the music will always be there, so listen to your body and rest when necessary.

Consider raving sober to avoid the dreaded festival hangover. Skip the alcohol and enjoy the natural high of the music and atmosphere. Comfort is key on the dancefloor, so find a spot that allows you to dance freely and enjoy the incredible views of the lights and lasers.

Link up with fellow elder ravers to build a rave family that matches your speed. Share experiences, learn from each other, and enjoy the sense of community that comes with the EDM scene. If you’re not camping, consider leaving before the last set to avoid long commutes back to the Strip.

And most importantly, don’t let anyone steal your shine! Remember that all are welcome at EDC Las Vegas, regardless of age. Embrace the PLUR mentality (peace, love, unity, and respect) and lead by example on the dancefloor.

So go ahead, live your best life under The Electric Sky at EDC Las Vegas and make unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
