However, we know as Vegas locals, there are a few necessities when it comes to attending a festival in our city. Scroll down for things you MUST know about this year’s festival.
Bring Subblock!
September heat is still no joke. The UV index is still pretty high in the dessert despite the fall weather creeping up. Be sure to bring sun protection and drink plenty of water. If you’re an out-of-towner coming to the festival for the weekend then be sure to take breaks throughout the shows. It’s easy to feel perfectly fine one minute and then be unsuspectedly hit with a dehydration headache due to the covert nature of dry heat. So stay hydrated!
Bring A Refillable Water Bottle!
Let us iterate this again, bring a refillable water bottle to avoid dehydration! Standing for hours, listening to loud music in a crowd of people and walking to different stages can work up a sweat!

Service Can Get Dodgy
Since so many people will be crammed throughout downtown, service can get pretty poor due to the influx of people clogging network bandwidth. With this being said, always have a plan with your group. Have a certain meetup times and meetup spots, so no one gets completely lost or separated.
