My point is Lavo is tiny and he's moved on to bigger and better. No wonder he ram packed that little place, how many does it even hold?

And I have no doubt he could pack the Light both Thursday and Saturday nights but not in the cards this year its seems.


See ya Thurs night.

Originally posted by DJ RANN Not really about "jacking rates up" for weekends, that's part of any hotel anywhere - it's about occupancy and that's why I think it's a mistake; I'm staying at the Palazzo and they told me they're sold out Fri through Monday. Tues through Thurs I can take my pick of rooms. They don't expect to be full unless they discount. Same deal with Wynn/Encore. I was speaking the concierge and as per every year since EDC started in Vegas, they run at about 50 occupancy that week until Friday when it jumps to 80% then oversold on Sat/Sun. Everyone that has a job aint gonna be there until Friday. School being out already deosn't really matter as everything apart from speedway is 21+. It probably will be busy at light as he's a legend and there's really nothing else of that caliber on Thursday. I don't really know where you're getthing the info about Lavo or previous years. Drais still had a 1hr line at 9am when I left the club. My buddy said it was still packed at 10;30am. Lavo was Rammed start to finish. I don't even like Lavo but they pulled off a great night with Cox last year. He's played a Sat after hours everytime he's played EDC so far so it's dumb they got him locked down on a Thursday night just because of a residency. Fuck, why doesn't light do a Sat night as well if they don't want him going elsewhere.

Armin is the same night and already almost sold out of presales so that already discredits your theory about not enough people being in town that night.

Not sure why you are so worried about it. Light does great each Wed on normal weeks. They were very happy with the turnout for his Memorial Day set as well. Even if just 10% of the people going to EDC are in town on thursday, that's 15,000 people looking to go out hence the big clubs will be packed that night.

Last year the parties Wends/Thurs were RAMMED!! I'm not just talking about the cheesy clubs, I'm taking like LAVO, Artisan and Drais? had more underground acts and had no dance floor room.

Shit even the Monday after EDC everything was decently packed.

XS on Monday night last year was stupid packed past that outside bar.

So like. is there EVER any good music in vegas? I dont even care if it's off strip. My burner friends in vegas can't even help me out here. It seems like everything is just garbage.

Im going to be in vegas this weekend (thursday afternoon until monday morning) and like. there's nothing. it's all trash.

I want non-top 40 (trance/electro) and not dubstep. if it was like UK dubstep that would be cool but they dont even play UK dubstep in SF. i'd be happy with normal (non top-40) house or techno, not even a big name guy just a normal DJ but they don't even seem to have that anywhere.

am i up shit creek? anyone know of anything this weekend?

well Deep Dish did just play last weekend... and After re-launches in 2 weeks. though i'd say getting annoyed at the the lack of good music in Vegas is like getting mad McDonald's doesn't have filet mignon on the menu
it is what it is

Vegas music acts just a couple years ago were pretty stellar, and have been a straight downhill since what... 12-18 months ago?

riiiiiiiiight, because Armin and Cox are the same demographic

Armin nights are amateur hour. He could go to any city in the on a Monday night and probably sell out 15k tickets, let alone Vegas.

And anyway, you're inferring the wrong thing from my posts: I have no doubt that any Cox night in Vegas will be rammed. I'm saying it's dumb from a booking management point of view. When you're a big name (which I'm happy for Carl - I used to see him back in the mid 90's when although highly respected, he'd be playing a Tuesday night to 500 people in a basement) you're bookings aren't just about whether you can sell a venue out, it's whether the right people are coming and there's a night to remember which 99% is about the crowd.

Case in point: Cox last year in LA at the exchange. ON his forums tons of people were begging him to come to LA, and he just ended up tacking on the exchange the weekend after EDC.

Mistake and everyone including him knew it. The crowd was full of randoms as the real EDM fans were all spent following EDC, and by 2am the crowd was thinning out and he was trying his hardest to whip them up (and if he can't no one can) but by 3pm it just fizzled out. I've never seen that at a cox event in 20 years.

Lol, not worried about it at all, just think it's dumb booking like that when he's one of the biggest stars right now and there's nothing outside of EDC on the weekend with him (yet?).

oh well, looks like it's Pryda for me

That's why I'm banging on about Cox. No cheese, no crap big room house pop remixes, just dirty deep house, tech and techno for 8+hours. The best part about it was all the muppets were at EDC speedway so the smaller clubs let the music lovers get down.

I guess i'm confused. you are annoyed he's booked for thursday instead of the weekend? if its full who cares if its thursday or saturday? or are you just not there thursday so bummed you'll miss it and that's why its a bad booking? since everyone going to that party is basically going to EDC i'm sure they will be there late as there is nothing to get up early for friday.

Lights has Axwell and Ingrosso that Sat night which I think you'd agree in Vegas you put on Sat over Carl... if i end up out there i'll prob skip EDC on Sat night and go to Luciano anyway.

also you'd see many more Cox fans %-wise there thursday night than Fri-Sun... as Fri-Sun the people that know of him more likely will be at EDC. the weekend crowd will have a much larger % of people that just want to go clubbing and don't know of him, versus thursday people since those going that night are only going as they know him (they club isn't open on thursday normally).
