EDC Vegas ProTip #8 Weather Forecast Says to Bring Sunscreen

The 10 day weather forecast predicts that it’s going to be hot in Las Vegas and get hotter every day. The festival is at night but you’ll see plenty of sun hanging out in Las Vegas during the days leading up to the festival, at any pool parties or just hanging out at your hotel pool. You’ll also be subjected to the burning death rays from above if you get to the festival when the gates open at 7:00PM waiting in line.

Sunburn is not fun and the last thing you want to happen is to be burnt like a lobster and barely able to move. It’ll ruin your vacation more than the worst hangover of your life. If you’re like me and you always forget to put sunscreen on make sure to ask a friend to remind you.

The great news of this weather forecast is that there are no winds in the forecast! This weather will be a shock for anyone traveling from the Northeast where it has felt more like the middle of October instead of the middle of June.

 Don’t forget the sunscreen and turn into a lobster!

About the ProTips: I’ve been counting down the days until Electric Daisy Carnival with a tip a day until the day of the festival. There’ll be more to come after this one and you can view ALL of them here.
