We’re closer than we think to arriving in Las Vegas and before you know it the days will fly by and you’ll have missed out or forgot to do some things you had wanted to. The size of your group will make a big difference in terms of everyone wanting to stick together or just play it by ear. Some people need to have it all planned out and others just go with the flow.
You do not want to plan out every minute of your trip but you’ll want to figure out what the general plan is. Decide who’d like to get get dinner at a specific buffet, restaurant. You likely know people from other cities that’ll be in Las Vegas as well to meetup with while others will not have any interest.
Pool parties? Club nights? Check out the 2013 EDC Week events list.
Tourist destinations? Go back to ProTip #58 Be a tourist, check out some free Vegas attractions.
You may have a long flight with layovers and delays getting to Vegas and it could tire you out. Remember ProTip #64 don’t be afraid to sleep. Your adrenaline will be flowing and you’ll want to get the party started but don’t wipe yourself out from the moment you arrive.
Time will fly by once you’re there. The tone of this may sound like you need to plan everything but that’s not the intention at all, it’s just a simple discussion so that everyone is on the same page..
