Rock in Rio "City of Rock" Location

[ericl1e]

Can someone with information please confirm for me where they are building the "City of Rock" venue for Rock in Rio? I've heard across from SLS and I've also heard across from Circus Circus?

Reason asking is I'm looking for the best hotel for walking distance. At the moment I think it would be SLS, right?

Anyone think they're hoping to land EDC eventually there? Not sure if its big enough but wouldn't it make a lot of sense to make EDC in the center of Vegas vs a 45 min bus ride away?

While I love the idea of an EDC on the strip, looking at the pictures and the map I don't think the place is big enough. The site is 40 acres and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway infield is about 90 acres. Definitely don't think they could fit EDC into less than half the acreage.

will probably host other festivals
insomniac does a bunch of other festivals one of those might happen at the rock rio site

yeah EDC takes up too much room to be done here - and the noise it would generate all night it wouldn't happen. As Rock in Rio is owned by SFX, not sure they'd be happy with another Insomniac event being held at the same location so I think low odds of that happening. I think Pasquale did say before they might use another venue in Vegas for non-EDC shows so we'll see I guess.
