As tens of thousands of visitors descend on Las Vegas for the 2026 Electric Daisy Carnival from May 15-17 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in North Las Vegas, three entertainment destinations are giving festivalgoers the ultimate places to pre-game, recharge and keep the energy going beyond LVMS.

AREA15

Las Vegas’ immersive arts and entertainment district west of the Las Vegas Strip continues to evolve as a must-visit attraction with new experiences, including Interstellar Arc, Oddyssey Manor and Game Depot now open. During EDC week, guests can also enjoy live entertainment in The Wall and The Portal, plus a 25% off festival fashion sale at Wild Muse through May 17.

F1 Arcade Las Vegas 

The new F1 Arcade in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip delivers high-energy racing simulators, elevated cocktails and social gaming in a sleek, nightlife-driven atmosphere – making it an ideal destination for groups looking to keep the adrenaline going.

Play Playground Las Vegas

For travelers seeking interactive fun before heading to the festival grounds, Play Playground at The Luxor offers larger-than-life social games, nostalgic challenges, specialty cocktails and high-energy group experiences designed for friend groups, couples and visitors looking for shareable Las Vegas moments. For EDC 2026 weekend, “Play and Rave” is being offered from May 13-17 and includes Bounce House and “Kandi” bracelet making.

EDC-goers may own the night, but these destinations are helping define the full Las Vegas experience before and after the festival.
