Hotel EDC is changing rooms. The official hotel for EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) will now be Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. For the past two years, the experience was held at Resorts World.

This means that all official EDC parties, immersive installations, and pool performances from May 16-19 will move to Virgin, the off-Strip casino formerly known as the Hard Rock.
Casino.org emailed reps for both EDC organizer Insomniac and Hotel EDC producer Vibee, asking why Resorts World wasn’t chosen again. If replies are received from one or both organizations, this story will be updated.
Whatever the reason, it’s difficult not to perceive the change as being related to the bad publicity Resorts World has generated recently for allegedly allowing money laundering to occur on its premises in 2022 and 2023. The Genting Group casino resort, consisting of three Hilton hotels, fired its president, Scott Sibella, last September and was slapped by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) with a 12-count disciplinary complaint last month for the scandal.
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas also operates under the Hilton brand and is part of the hotel giant’s Curio Collection.
Hotel EDC 2025 packages will go on sale for those who stayed at previous Hotel EDC editions on Tuesday, September 11, at noon PT via the EDC website. A presale for those with EDCLV 2025 passes will kick off on Thursday, September 12, at noon PT.
All remaining packages will go on sale at noon PT Friday, September 13. As soon as prices are available, they will be published here.
According to a joint press release from Insomniac, Vibee, and Virgin, ravers who stay at Hotel EDC will receive a $30 daily food and beverage credit “for select locations” and “premium add-ons, such as premier shuttles and private car services, will be available for transport to the festival.”
Hotel EDC requires a minimum three-night stay for a maximum of four people over the age of 21,
EDC itself will take place from May 17-19 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This year’s lineup will feature Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Zedd, Alison Wonderland, Kaskade, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and dozens more.
While general admission passes are sold out, GA+ and VIP tickets, starting at $599 and $969, are still available.
