This post is dedicated to sharing my ill-contained excitement for my next upcoming festival, Electric Daisy Carnival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas on June 17, 18 and 19.
My 17 Reasons to be COMPLETELY ecstatic for EDC Las Vegas this year include:
1) THIS IS MY FIRST EDC LV.
2) AND ITS THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF EDC LV EVER!!!!!
3) I had a blast at EDC NY last year.
4) I’m ready for the next level carnival EDC LV has to offer.
5) I can’t wait to feel the love at EDC.
Insomniac offers FREE legal unions (including same-sex marriage, which is now legal in Nevada), as well as commitment ceremonies and vow renewals by a themed minister of your choice. Ceremonies are available June 17–19 from 8:00 pm–3:30 am, but they are on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, email weddings@insomniac.com.
For legal weddings, you are responsible for obtaining a marriage license prior to arrival. Licenses can be obtained from the Clark County Marriage Bureau, located at 201 Clark Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89155. There is no waiting period. The Bureau is open 24 hours on weekends and from 8am-midnight on weekdays. At off-peak times, the process takes only 15-30 minutes; you may experience delays on Saturdays and holidays. Bring $60 (cash only), plus a valid photo ID for each person. Learn more HERE. Vow renewals and non-legal commitment ceremonies do not require marriage licenses.
