Logistics
Getting there and getting home
The ride home is the part people improvise, and it is the part that goes wrong. Decide it before you leave.
01
Decide your exit before you arrive
Sunrise is when tens of thousands of people leave at once. Rideshare surges, shuttle lines stretch, and phone service is at its worst. Agree how your group gets home while you are still sober and have signal.
02
Transport is booked separately
Festival transport passes are sold apart from admission and are limited. If you want one, sort it early rather than the week of.
03
Pickup zones move
Rideshare and drop-off points get redrawn year to year, sometimes night to night. Check the official map the day you go rather than trusting last year or a friend’s screenshot.
04
Never drive impaired
There is no version of this where driving high or drunk at 5am is the reasonable option. Budget for the ride, or budget for a room. Both are cheaper than the alternative.
Preparation
Before you go
The festival sets its own rules and revises them most years. Use this as a checklist, then confirm specifics at the source.
Check this year’s rules yourself
Bag size, permitted items, age policy, and re-entry are set by the promoter. Las VeGays links the official page rather than reprinting rules that may already be out of date.
Official rules and FAQDress for two climates
The desert runs hot in the evening and genuinely cold before dawn. Bring a layer you are willing to carry, and shoes you can stand in for eight hours. Fashion that fails at 4am is not fashion.
Power, and a paper plan
Bring a charged battery pack. Screenshot tickets and ride details. Then agree a physical meeting spot and a time, because that is the plan that still works when the network does not.
Bring ID
Carry government ID. If it does not match your name or presentation, you are still entitled to be treated with respect. Ask for a supervisor if you are not, and tell us afterwards so it gets logged.
Harm reduction
Staying safe
Better to say this plainly than pretend nobody uses anything. Read it once so you are not deciding in the dark.
Water, before you feel it
Free refill stations are part of the venue. Drink steadily through the night rather than catching up at the end. Heat exhaustion arrives as confusion, cramps, headache, or a sudden stop in sweating.
Nobody uses alone
If you take anything, someone sober enough to notice should know what and when. Counterfeit pills and powders are contaminated with fentanyl often enough that it is a realistic risk. Test strips and naloxone save lives, and carrying naloxone is legal in Nevada.
Get medical help early
Medical and ground-control tents exist for exactly this, and staff are there to treat you. If a friend is overheating, unresponsive, or frightened, walk them to help and stay with them. Do not leave anyone alone to sleep it off.
Consent, and the exit from a bad situation
Unwanted contact is not the cost of being visibly queer in a crowd. Move toward staff, light, and your group. Tell someone. To put it on record with Las VeGays afterwards, use the contact page.
In an emergency, call 911. Do not wait for a post here. Flag the nearest staff member or medical tent and get help moving.

Questions
FAQ
Is this an official EDC page?
No. Las VeGays is an independent community platform, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for the festival or its promoter. Where an official source is being relayed, it is linked so you can check it yourself.
How often does this page update?
Whenever there is something confirmable to say. During festival week that can be several times a day; the rest of the year it is quiet. Every entry is timestamped, and RSS beats checking back.
Something here is wrong or out of date.
Say so and it gets corrected. Being corrected fast beats being confidently wrong on a page people use to make decisions.
Send a correctionWhere do the official rules live?
With the promoter. Ticketing, entry policy, permitted items, and refunds are theirs, and theirs is the version that counts.
