Electric Daisy Carnival Sold Out for 2021

May 21st - 23rd of 2021 are the new dates and it's already Sold Out.  A waiting list for tickets has been established. 

The venue as it always has been is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  EDC is celebrating their 25th Anniversary "Under The Electric Sky."  It's been in Vegas since 2011.

While attendance has steadily increased over the years, 2019 saw 465,000 attendees in Vegas.  EDC is the largest Electronic Music Dance Festival in North America.

Even while EDC isn't being held this year, all the promotion and marketing was already in place.  Our featured video is something you may not have seen.  It's the Official trailer for 2020.

No Mask or No Dice in Nevada

While Arizona, California, Florida and Texas have another round of closing business due to the Corona Virus (hopefully they will open soon), Nevada remains open with a new directive.

Governor Steve Sisolak has signed Directive 024 with guidance, that wearing a mask in Nevada is mandatory. 

Quoting the Governor: “This directive is our opportunity to limit our risk for exposure and infection, and to keep our businesses open and our economy moving.  For Nevada to stay safe and stay open, we must make face coverings a routine part of our daily life."

The Governor is also extending Phase Two until the end of July to evaluate the new Mask Policy.

David Lee Roth Coming to The House of Blues!

The latest high powered residency to hit Las Vegas is David Lee Roth from Van Halen!

Roth is bringing the Van Halen catalog with him for 9 shows during January and March of 2020.

According to a press release, David Lee Roth: ROCKS VEGAS will feature “26 instantly recognizable songs, including ‘Jump,’ ‘Panama,’ and ‘California Girls.’” It goes on to label the music “the sound of a generational prison break.”

The longtime and current Van Halen singer has announced the residency at Mandalay Bay in the House of Blues, with shows scheduled for January 8th, 10th and 11th - March 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 27th and 28th.

A press release promises that Roth will play all the expected big hits and "delight fans with an explosive two-guitar sound," but makes no mention of who will make up the singer's band

The SAHARA Las Vegas is Back!

In 1947, a gentleman by the name of Milton Prell opened a casino called Club Bingo on the North End of the Las Vegas Strip. 5 years later, Club Bingo would become a luxury hotel and casino to stand the test of time.

At a cost of $5 million dollars, the Hotel Sahara was opened on October 7, 1952. It would remain as the Sahara until May 16, 2011 during a 58 year run. SBE Entertainment was the owner at the time, and the property stay closed until a full renovation was completed. That refit (costing $415 Million) opened the property as the SLS on August 23, 2014.

SBE sold the SLS in April of 2018 after it struggled to find its identity to the Meruelo Group from Reno. That's where the history took a wonderful turn this week. SLS has been rebranded as the Sahara Las Vegas!

As reported here, the announcement was made back in June. It's taken since then to fully implement the Sahara brand throughout. The Sahara has been a staple on the North End of the Strip for so many years, we thought it would be cool for you to know the history.
