Getting to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas
The easiest way to get to the Electric Daisy Carnival is to use the Las Vegas Monorail and the dedicated EDC shuttles. EDC shuttles do require a pre-paid ticket to board and ride. Standard and VIP shuttle options are available. Thursday, 5/14, the Las Vegas festival grounds will be hosting the World Party Parade. This will be closing down the Las Vegas Strip from Sahara to Genting Blvd. This will make taking the Las Vegas Monorail the most convenient way to get to the parade and festival.
The Las Vegas Monorail has seven stations conveniently located on the Vegas Strip:
Monorail trains begin operating at 7:00 a.m. daily and run until:
- Mondays: Midnight
- Tuesdays – Thursdays: 2:00 a.m.
- Fridays – Sundays: 3:00 a.m.
Travel times between stations average between two and four minutes. Trains arrive regularly every four to eight minutes.
To get to EDC using the Monorail and the EDC Shuttles, you have two options. You can board any northbound train at any station and ride it to the SAHARA Las Vegas Station. Exit the station and walk to The STRAT and catch the shuttle there. Option two is to ride the Monorail to the Horseshoe/Paris Station and catch the shuttle near the station.
If you are not using the EDC Shuttles, you can ride the Monorail to the SAHARA Las Vegas Station and catch a rideshare or taxi from the SAHARA Las Vegas Resort.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is approximately 15 miles from the SAHARA and The STRAT.
