Photos: What Those Kids Got Up To At Electric Daisy Carnival
EDC Las Vegas 2014 runs through to tonight, which means all of those 20somethings at your office are gonna call in "sick" or be reallllllly tired tomorrow morning.
So in case you were wondering what they got up to over the weekend, we've got photographic documentation. In the Web 2.0 era, whatever happens in Vegas definitely doesn't stay in Vegas.
Performers at this weekend's edition of the rave are a veritable who's who of artists from the EDM world, including Armin van Buuren, Diplo, Tiësto, Kaskade, Paul Oakenfold, Calvin Harris, and Paul van Dyke.
As usual, EDC crowds delivered with outlandish costumes and props. Apparently beaded surgical masks are all the rage this year. The festival, despite being an L.A. original before getting run out of town, seems to feel right at home in the Sin City with the neon-colored costumes and skimpy outfits.
Unfortunately, it sounds like this weekend's events did not go off without a hitch, as KPCC reports a Bay Area man died yesterday morning.
