It’s festival season in Las Vegas! There’s an endless amount of music, food fairs and family friendly events headed our way in the next few months. Since the arrival of 2011’s, Electric Daisy Festival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, our city had put its focus on tapping more into the mega music festival market. The success of EDC in 2013 and it’s 400,000 attendees had pumped $278 million dollars into the Las Vegas economy. The benefits of a major concert scene not only makes our city money, but it strengthens our role as entertainment capital of the world and puts us on the map. We’ve listed the top 3 not to miss Las Vegas music festivals to check out this year!

The 3 day event goes from dusk till dawn and draws in 4 times the amount of Coachella concert goers. This one’s for the nightowls, non stop DJ sets and fireworks included.
