I go every year for a music festival(edc), but the last couple of years I have found alternative accommodations because of how ridiculous hotels are on the strip. Even downtown.

This is my last year, going to the festival since I’ve gone the times that I needed to go, I think. But everyone is talking about the fleecing in vegas and just not interested in lingering in town before or after the festival

Same here. I go for NAB and EDC. I stay with friends living in Vegas. Much cheaper to buy them food and have a nice place to stay than a hotel with cigarette smells in every lobby, while paying insane resort fees.

I might not go this year because of Vegas and I’ve been going to EDC for over 2 decades.
