7 Types of People That Go to EDC Vegas—Which One Are You?

Every year, the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, gets transformed into a neon wonderland of flashing lights, pounding bass, and a vibrant sea of eclectic festival-goers. It’s the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), welcome everybody! If you’ve ever attended, you know that the crowd is just as entertaining as the performances, and that their outfits and hairstyles are always a spectacle worth seeing! Here are seven types of people you’re guaranteed to see at EDC Vegas! Do you relate to any of them?

1. The First-Timer

Eyes wide with amazement, this poor soul is both overwhelmed and overstimulated, like a little kid in a Disney ride! You’ll see them staring in awe at the fireworks, accidentally wandering into the bass stage, and trying to figure out where their friends went (spoiler: they’re gone forever). When other people see them, they feel the urge to help these poor fellows: Phone dead, no signal, and entirely reliant on the universe to reunite them with their squad. This person has been wandering since sunset and is likely asking strangers, “Have you seen someone wearing a light-up mushroom hat?” First-timers are also likely to spend too much money on overpriced drinks or miss out on their favorite artists because they got confused at the gate…

If this is your first time in EDC and you want to blend in, don’t forget to get a great braiding hairstyle, such as bubble braids: Fun, easy to do, and perfect for someone still learning the rave ropes. And, by all means, you don’t need to spend so much time, money, and energy figuring out your way around the festival or moving back and forth from a distant, inconvenient hotel. Live How You Want offers plenty of packages so you can focus on the music, the party atmosphere, and making great memories!
After booking one of our packages, we’ll guarantee this EDC experience will be the first one of many more.

2. The Glitter Bomb

This person is covered in so much body glitter and rhinestones that they could be taken as a human disco ball. Every hug they give you leaves you sparkling for days, and their suitcase is probably 90% body shimmer, 10% actual clothes. They spent their last 6 months—and nearly half of their lifetime savings—preparing the perfect outfit for this occasion, so of course, they want to be noticed everywhere they go.

There’s no need to mention they want their hair to be up to the task: You’ll see them shine in their goddess braids with glitter—Thick, elegant braids with shimmering strands woven in. They need their hairstyles to last all through the Festival, so if this sounds like you and you are worried about getting the perfect festival braids, you should go to the girls of Sunny Braids! They’re going to be busy this year, so you may want to consider booking your appointment in advance!

3. The Festival Mom/Dad

This legend carries all the essentials: gum, sunscreen, snacks, and maybe even a first-aid kit. They make sure everyone gets home safe and doesn’t lose their minds (or their phones). They are also hydration heroes: Armed with a hydration backpack and an almost concerning obsession with electrolytes, these people are on a mission to keep everyone alive. They’re constantly yelling, “Drink water!” at random strangers and have an unbreakable bond with the free water refill stations. Their outfits are cool and comfortable at the same time. As for their festival braids, they’ll probably opt for a traditional protective style like cornrows: Secure, no-fuss, and ready for high-energy dancing and hydration missions.

We salute you, responsible raver! You probably want to make sure all your group remains together and don’t miss the EDC shuttle. You’ll be glad to know that Live How You Want offers On Site Pickup & Dropoff so you can keep track of all your festival kids—or lost and confused friends.

4. The Influencer in the Wild

For this person, living such an experience at the EDC is important, but sharing it with the rest of the world (aka their followers) is a MUST! They know real life splits into the analogic and the digital world. You’ll see plenty of them in Las Vegas: Constantly adjusting their LED outfit for the perfect selfie, this person is here to serve lewks. They’ll do an entire mini-photoshoot mid-festival, complete with dramatic poses, a ring light, and a poor friend acting as their unpaid photographer.

They always look spotless, no matter if they spent the night dancing and the rest of their group is sweaty and messed up. Their outfit is always intricate, trendy, and made for perfect festival photos. That’s why they’ll probably adore our beauty bar on site! 

By the way, if you are already a famous influence and up to an exclusive experience to share with your tribe of online friends, you may want to consider hiring our private rides! For convenient pricing, you will get a private party bus or luxe limo roundtrip. Time and location will be at your choice: You get to customize your days and select the vehicle size, depending on whether you’re bringing along 15 or even 40 friends.

5. The Spirit Animal

You may spot them in the crowd and every single group photo of the dancefloor. Oh, without them, the EDC would definitely lack something! Decked out in a full-body animal onesie or elaborate fur coat (despite the desert heat), this person fully embodies their festival persona. Whether they’re a majestic unicorn, a cosmic panda, or an intergalactic space tiger, you can count on them for epic dance moves and top-tier vibes. 

Just like it happens in comic conventions, don’t you dare to tell them they’re wearing a costume! They don’t just dress up; they become the creature. They’ll remain in character no matter what. Expect random howls, purrs, and an uncanny ability to appear out of nowhere just when you need a morale boost. Check out the EDC Las Vegas Official Site for more festival info.
Spirit Animals thrive on good energy, will probably offer you a piece of gum or a light-up totem to follow, and are known for disappearing into the night only to resurface at sunrise—completely unfazed.

6. The Rave Veteran

They are ancient as time… or more likely, people in their forties! You’ll spot them in the distance by their perfectly broken-in kandi bracelets, practical hydration packs, and an almost mystical ability to navigate the festival like a human GPS. They can recite the lineup by heart months in advance and are able to tell you where they saw each performer for the first time. They’ve been attending the EDC since the early 2000s and love telling you about “how different it was back in the day.”

These people are experts for finding good accommodation because they have seen it all: They want an old-school, reliable hotel—which they surely booked in advance. If you are like them, you probably know your way around the EDC and may even drive your own party bus! If not, that’s okay! In Live How You Want we’ve got you covered: You can always enhance your EDC experience by hiring our Hotel & Shuttle packages.

7. The Wildcard

Fueled by an endless supply of overpriced drinks and boundless energy, this person treats EDC like a three-day open bar. You’ll find them double-fisting drinks, shouting “Wooooo!” at random intervals, and somehow still going strong at 5 AM. They are extremely popular! You’ll see them making best friends with everyone in the crowd and insisting on doing celebratory shots. Okay, so they may or may not wake up in a completely different hotel than where they started. In any case, their stamina is both impressive and slightly concerning.

For these party animals, the EDC shuttle isn’t just transportation, but must be part of the whole festival experience! That’s why we offer the best atmosphere and unlimited alcohol and beverages onboard! Drink responsibly and leave the driving to us. And don’t worry about getting to the right hotel—we’ll take you there in time!

No matter which type of EDC Las Vegas attendant you are, we’ve got the right package to enhance your experience and make sure you have everything you need to make your experience unforgettable: You want accommodation and shuttles to be seamless and avoid queuing and wasting precious festival time coming back and forth from your room because you need to retouch your outfit or simply want to get some rest between seeing your favorite performers.

Let’s be honest: Even if you are an EDC veteran, you want to avoid unreliable transportation or hotels located too far because everything else is booked.
