XS SURRENDER EBC and TRYST DJs

[chrisbru]

The big clubs bring in the same mainstream electronic acts and recycle them over and over again. There are so many good DJ's that have never played the Vegas clubs, you have to be a top 40 trance/progressive DJ to get booked in Vegas. Why would I pay so much extra and deal with crazy crowds to listen to Tiesto or Avicii? These guys are the backstreet boys of EDM and so played out. I would rather go a regular night, listen to a local and have a kick ass time with my friends and save a few bucks. Back home I can see good DJ's for a fraction of the price. Going to a Vegas club for the music is silly to me.

I agree - to a point. But a lot of people want to see these acts anyway, and it actually ends up being cheaper to see 2 or 3 big name DJs in a weekend than traveling to see all three of them separately. If you couple that with the fact that most people already plan on spending a ton of money at the clubs in Vegas, it's really not that much of an "extra investment" to see a big name DJ over a local DJ. I'd guess it ends up being $100/person more than you'd already spend (unless you're going for a great table location with a small group - Then it is probably quite a bit more), which would be way less than ticket+travel+hotel for a DJ you make a special trip to see.
