The weekend started on Friday night.
First Stop- Ferry @ Spin for the last leg of the tour. Both Ferry and Cowboy Mike Played Great sets.
Saturday off To Vegas
After we checked in and got settled we walked down to MGM to get a Fat Tuesday's drink with the extra shot. (we got in after 3 so we missed wet) Walked threw the casino's and shops back and back to our hotel... we tempted to get ready but passed out. Woke up around 4 thinking we could make it to see Jordan play at his after hours.. but passed out again! Guess we where tired from the night before
Sunday:
After a cheep Breakfast at Denny's we got ready and headed to The Plams pool party.
No issues getting in. The drinks where expensive and very weak. Do not think I even got a buzz.
A good mix of people.. Some hot bodies and some well... not so hot. At least the place was not full of juiced up meat heads.
Jorden played the best set imo. It was Sexy and fun perfect for a pool party. Steve Aokie was up next and sucked major balls! He was playing this weird mix of raver like house tracks. He was all over the place.
Egal was on. Cool that he is still doing his thing at his age... but his set sucked too.. I had no idea he was on till we walked over there.
Ran into and met some really cool people though.
Left around 5pm. Over all the pool party was pretty fun. Music could have been better imo.
After a yummy dinner we went to Rain. Checked out Cox for a bit since I have not seen him for awhile.. Was expecting some techno... but played some wired house stuff. blah
Went inside to go see PVD. First Track was For and Angle.. so I thought he was going to be good. So much for thinking...
PVD SUCKED!!! He was all over the place mashing up different tracks from here and there only giving us a taste of each song. Hardly any trance at all.. more house and electro... he really needs to stick what he does best. Do not think I will be seeing PVD again. Have not been impressed with him.
He was done at 4. We where going to leave at 5 to get an hour of robbie... but he played these deep dark dirty dirty tracks that actually had flow. When the sun came up he changed it up a bit playing perfect tracks!!!! I have a new respect for Robbie. He Killed it!!!
Came back to our hotel around 7ish or so to get some sleep. We where going to get up early to check out and go to wet... but slept threw our alarm and woke up at 4. The hotel was calling and even came to our door with security! Opps..
So we walked back down to the strip ate some lunch got a fat Tuesdays and just hung out till it was time to go home.
Over all I had a blast in Vegas.. then you would have to have a large stick in your ass not to have fun there!

Never thought I would say this but Oakenfold destroyed Rain and PVD did not. I heard a few errors during his set but he had an amazing setlist. And Rain is an amazing place. Hated Eddie's set actually and was hoping he would be the highlight of that night. NOPE. Morillo was amazing, Reza was great, and Robbie was great as well.

Michelle pretty much summed it up but:
Jordon Stevens - Perfect pool party music! He nailed it.
DJ Aoki - Awful. Honestly think I would have rather heard hip hop.
Swedish Egil - Almost as bad but probably because he followed Aoki. Have to give it to him for still rocking out!
Carl Cox - Started out meh so we went into Rain. Came back later and it was way to deep. Not what I was expecting from him but then again I haven't seen him in years.
PVD - Wtf? Last 4 times I have seen him have been rubbish. I'm done with him.
Robbie Rivera - Was definitely a surprise for me. Was just going to stick around for a little bit but he grabbed us and we stayed until the end. Not a huge househead but he was playing the dirtiest, sickest music! Then when the sunrise began to come thru the windows at Rain, he switched it up perfectly.
Regardless, I had an great time hanging out with my girl and amazing old and new friends. Found the vibe to be very positive which surprised me a bit. Wish we could have made Oakenfold which I heard was pretty good.
And a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us out!!!
fri night - karma in rio - with jordan stevens, jes, george acosta - fun party - chill mixed crowd - great to meet jordan!
sat night - woke up late and didnt make it out to any edm events- ended up at red rock hotel, drunk, gambled, enuf said.
sun day - love fest pool party - didnt get there till about 4.30ish, only saw mark farina, he was pumpin some fun toones, the place was packed tho (side note, i like the pool party at tao beach better, i like places with)
sun night - woke up late again - went to lovefest at rain - got to party around 3 or 4am - missed carl cox - but pvd was on. the place was really packed but pvd's set was horrible. i mean, he would place a track, then put on another track, no mixing, tracks were all over the place (sealed the deal: his sets has become progressivly worse past couple of times i have seen him, no need to see him ever again) - robbie was great, fun toons.
overall, i am really glad to see vegas puttin on a fun edm weekend. Also, with the success of oakenfold's weekly party at rain, i hope to see more and more edm events in vegas.
jordan stevens is a great guy and was fun to meet him! mucho props!
Damn so much PVD hate was he really that bad......?
Did anybody notice the sound was kinda off at Rain during PVD? It was severely lacking in bass as though the bassbins were disconnected. Even with proper sound i don't think i would have enjoyed pvd's set. He played a few good tracks but didn't have any flow and was too focused on his laptop. I did have great time with Carl Cox by the pool. wish i stayed there the whole time.

yes, pvd's set was that bad.
its not that he didnt play a trance set, or whatever genre set...its the flow of the set that matters. there was no flow. no mixing, or at least, it didnt sound like he was trying to mix.
regardless, i had fun and am happy whenever i get to be in a large edm club, so i had a good time.
