    Took the shuttles last year and it sucked. We had to sit through traffic too (unlike Coachella shuttles) but don't really see a better option. Hope they hire more shuttles this year for the ride back.

      Sorry cannot send PMs yet due to 5 post minimum. Do you know where you are staying yet and what nights you would officially be going to EDC?

      Ive heard the way home has more traffic than the way there...either way heavy traffic makes the limo a much better and worth it option.
      I'm staying at Cosmo but I'll most likely end up going to all three days unless better things come up
      Ok, I will be up North at Venetian/Palazzo. I will be calling this weekend and hopefully receiving some quotes for nights or packages and will weigh various options....

      Anyone else interested?

        My BF & I are going for a week and we're probably going to be renting a car anyway. Will it be any better/worse if we drove ourselves to EDC? Obviously traffic will be an issue with any form of transportation. He doesn't really drink so that's not an issue. He'll have like 1 drink max all night.
        Upcoming trips:
        2014: February 17-20, EDC/June 18-23, September
        2013: April 26-30, MDW May, EDC/June 21-25, Birthday trip/July 19-22, Halloween Oct 25-29
        2012: St.Pattys day/March 2012, EDC/June 2102, Labor Day/Sept 2012
        2011: May 11-15, July 9th-13th, Sept 14th-18th, Halloween 10/28-11/1, Dec 9th-13th
        2010: June 25-29, August 6-10, December 10-14
        2009: December 9 - 14

            my experience last year was that getting there via the shuttle was a piece of cake... basically no wait to get on the busses and we left within 5-10 minutes. returning took a lot longer on friday than saturday as they added more buses for the weekend. We got a ride on Sunday but it basically wasn't any quicker than the shuttle as everyone is in the same traffic.

            if you are okay with leaving say at 5am instead of at the 6am close, i'm sure you'll get back a lot quicker...

                I have no idea how crazy it is for EDC or how hard it is to get around, but I read an article where the city approved the use of a more fleets of vehicles that taxi companies can use for the expected demand. Like I said, I do not have any idea of the craziness so I have no idea if that will even put a dent into it helping.

                    leaving at 3-4 is most def better leaving at 5-close.

                    If i was going this year. Id most def leave at about 430-445 at the absolute latest.

                      i drove friday and saturday last year. and actually it was pretty ez when driving in. The city knows how to do traffic with moving large amounts of ppl because of Nascar.

                      But try to enter EDC in from the main entrance. I remember entering on the side entrances friday and saturday and on sunday, i entered via the main entrance and i can honestly say it was an amazing experience, hands down.

                      I actually got goose bumps thinking about it just now.

                        Right now we are going EDC weekend but planning on just hitting up clubs, not the actual Carnival. Once we get to Vegas do you think it will be possible to scalp tickets to EDC if we change our minds?

                          I heard something about them having a lane just for shuttles this year at EDC.

                            if you are 100% sure you are not going i'd sell your tix now via Stubhub.

                            you can sell them at the venue i'd guess with no problem... probably next best location would be the shuttle pickup locations.
