My friend and I will pay ~$50 to anyone here who has 2 open seats in however theyre getting there.
I might rent a Van or SUV today and offer rides back and forth to EDC.

When I went back around 4 am to pick up my GF's bro and his GF I saw A LOT of kids that were pissed off cause they had paid some shady ****s for a ride there and back and of course the guy never will be coming back to pick them up.

There were these 2 kids going to Riviera that were trying to get a ride, I asked them how they got there and they said they met some guy with a van at Riviera, they paid him $150 each for a ride to EDC and back each day. Obviously he wasn't coming back and they basically paid $150 each for just a ride there. They said the cab ride leaving was the biggest line they have ever seen.

Re: EDC - Electric Daisy Carnival

Sounds like easy money. What's the best route to take?

Re: EDC - Electric Daisy Carnival

I have a minivan and might do this too because the pits hit me hard last night, lol. My friends are going early, but I'm not going out until after the Pacquiao - Bradley fight is done (9:30 to 10:30pm). I'll be leaving from the MGM Grand, and I'll do it for $20 a person each way, probably will have 7 empty seats.

Also, King, I might have a Sunday ticket available. I'll text you to let you know.

PM me for my number if y'all want to do this.

I took Las Vegas Blvd straight through NLV the whole way there. I-15 was a parking lot on the way back at around 8 PM last night.

I just rented a 15 passenger van, PM me if anyone wants a ride. $20 a head.

LOL @ Kim following my lead. KMX i'm disowning you son

Re: EDC - Electric Daisy Carnival

Hey pops, you didn't drop five hundy in the pit last night losing your first 8 hands in a row of that damn Hold'em Bonus game, lol. So I think I'm going to be shuttling tonight. Text me / let me know if you want to combine forces and split up rides. I'm supposed to be making some long term sports bets for friends before I leave town, and um, yeah, I've spent a lot of that money.

Hahaha, I've dropped probably triple that this week. You obviously got outplayed by the Texas Holdem Bonus game Kim. I probably have room on the first trip for 5-7 more people, plan on leaving around 5:30, then coming back and filling the van up.

If all goes well I'm probably gonna make 3 trips from EDC/LVMS to the strip starting at midnight.

PM me your number, I think I have it in my phone but not 100% positive.

If anyone wants a ride to EDC PM me and i'll give you my number.

The parking lot is about 40+ minute walk not to mention the fact that you may forget where you parked and it is a huuuuge ***** place.
Is anyone able to expand on this from experience this year? I am in a position where I might absolutely need to drive. I'm wondering how people faired last night.

Thanks!

Interested in this as well and wondering if any1 else drove there this year.
but Meh, go for it, shouldn't be THAT bad
You can checkout other tourists and hotties on the way and meet other groups while taking the walk. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out if you decide to drive there.
From reading this thread and seeing that people are having trouble with shuttles and limos, go for it, ya can probably pick up some people on the way back as well and make some cake

Re: EDC - Electric Daisy Carnival

If anyone ever wanted to know what it felt like to lose $10mill in one day...Being at EDC today/yesterday was a perfect example. Shut down cause of wind? lo ****in l, welcome chargebacks and refunds.

Oh well, it's good everyone gets money back and saves their ears from awful music.

Wow that is a sick beat
Real props to them for shutting it down though
The winds weren't that heavy but I guess the big shots didn't wanna take any gambles at all.

Well if 5 people hadn't died at the Indiana State Fair last year because of wind they wouldn't have shut it down. I understand the abundance of caution/avoidance of liability and massive lawsuits. Insurance might cover lost revenue anyway.
