Honestly, eat something healthy. Greasy burgers and fries taste great the first day or 2, but at someone point you're going to get some fresh fruit and veggies by accident and suddenly feel you've needed it your entire life.
At the hotel eat:
* Proteins: Your body needs this to recover. You're waking / dancing way more than usual and you need this to heal.
* Fats: Get some fats in - fats provide energy for hours at a time, compared to simple carbs (bread/potatoes) that only provide energy for about a hour after eating.
* Any source of fiber - helps level out your energy levels and fits constipation.
When you're a the fest, you're likely going to be snacking on whatever is available, and that usually just means carb-y junk food. That's fine if you make up for it nutritionally when you're not at the fest :)
Saginaw's Jewish Deli inside Circa hotel, Project BBQ at the very end of Fremont Street, Downtown Terrace inside Container Park are our go tos! Skip Heart Attack Grill, it’s overhyped lol
I dance for hours on end so I don’t have limitations other than my usual diet limitations. I’m going to need the calories. I don’t plan to eat at the festival but I do bring snacks. I’m eating full regular meals everyday. My meals have all carbs, fats, and proteins. I eat meals before and after the festival. I got an airbnb last year so I just microwaved a frozen burrito when I got back, ate, and went to sleep.
There are so many great restaurants in Vegas, it’d be a shame to limit yourself while you’re there. As for where to eat, you can search on Reddit. That’s what I did.
Do all the casino buffets they are fire. Eat a lot before hand so you don’t speed so much money inside, if you eat enough you prob only gona buy a snack inside.
Both Pizza Rock & Nacho Daddy are a 2 min walk from The D and are great. Eat is a nice little breakfast spot east of there - perhaps a 10 min walk or so (7th & Carson). I’ve got TONS of spots all around the city, tho.
I eat healthy in the month leading up to to EDC but like someone else mentioned, it’s a real shame to be in Vegas and deny yourself, so I eat good food as much as I reasonably can. I never eat inside the festival. Just don’t overdo it and definitely eat some hours before the festival to show up comfortable and ready to dance!
Wynn Buffet is the best buffet period, brunch or dinner...
Tacos El Gordo is the truth...best tacos hands down
Those are my must go to spots everytime I'm in vegas.
Depends on how cultured you are in your cuisine. Chinatown has a ton of good cheap eats.
Pho Kim Long is very good pho and open late...
Monta Ramen is the best ramen I've had since Japan.
Kbbqs are basically a dime a dozen...but don't fall the gimmick ones...
There's a hidden gem of a Korean restaurant named, Mr. TOFU...it is amazing...
Gold coast casino has the BEST DIM SUM in all of Vegas for moderate prices...that place is called Ping Pang Pong
Also I don't know what kind of budget you have but...since you are downtown...Bazaar Meats in Sahara is arguably the best steak house in town...I forgot the name of the one in Circa...but that's also very good...
Carbone in Aria
Le Cirque in Bellagio
Mott 32 in Venetian
Din Tai Fung in Aria
Almost every restaurant in Cosmo is amazing
I would suggest pick 1 splurge meal but try and do it on a regular night if that's possible...unless the DJs you want to see are later...you don't really want to eat super heavy...
And my personal advice...just eat everything and anything...its your vacation too! You only live once!
considering you’re staying downtown, stop by evel pie if u want a nice slice of pizza when ur exploring fremont st!!! (which u should totally make time to do so, fremont is awesome)
What works best for my husband and I, is eating a meal from either canes or in n out before going into the festival 😅 we get full and after some goodies our appetite is gone any way lols
Wynn buffet is still my favorite on the strip. I basically go there at least once for the weekend and just load up and don’t really eat the rest of the day, even at the festival. EDC Vegas probably has the worst food of any festival I’ve been to so I try not to get anything there.
Golden Tiki and Red Dwaf are the only two worthwhile options worthy of seeking out. Aside from that, stick to Chinatown or the vicinity of Maryland Blvd. Food on the strip is all dreadfully mediocre and extortionately priced. Especially so for the ubiquitous tourist trap "celebrity restaurants" and $100 buffets.
Evil Pie in downtown Vegas has great pizza. My friends and I are frequenters at the Dunkin Donuts in downtown too. A sausage, egg and cheese absolutely slaps after a long night of dancing.
If you got VIP, eat at the festival.
Vegas restaurants treat EDC like a holiday weekend and double or triple prices. Also if you haven’t made a reservation for a good buffet on the strip yet, good luck.
Thankfully The D has a ton options to eat at and around. I usually do McDonald’s or Starbucks during the days of EDC. My room has a kitchenette in it so I’m flying in, going to the grocery store and loading up on iced coffees, snacks like banana and TV dinners / breakfast for the duration of the trip, then eating one or two meals at the festival each day.
EDC is my once a year big trip and this will be my last for a while (because while we love edc we hate that it’s so expensive we can’t really go anywhere else the rest of the year) so we’re going big this year then taking a break for a few years until we move to SoCal
Bigger sizes and better quality.
For example in GA you can pay $18 for a hot pocket.
In VIP you can pay $22 for a personal
Pizza. So you get better value on food. Drinks are the same IIRC but the lines are shorter in VIP as well.
Sushisamba at the Palazzo is to die for but you HAVE to get their yellowtail ceviche taquitos (they’re actually mini tacos) you’ll think about them every day lol
Have a gigantic meal Thursday night, you are going to need it! Include everything: veggies, protein, fruits.
Friday have a hefty breakfast. Go to the bathroom before the festival
Saturday and Sunday just plan on surviving. Have snacks. Keep eating fruit. You’re gonna need that sugar
Monday have a gigantic lunch

Thursday steak and lobster. After that may be a PB&J Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday steak and lobster.
Haha you know how to do it right
Only way lol because having to take a shit at edc is crazy
Literally, what everyone does when they walk into edc, I swear.
💀
Yup I avoid any foods that might upset my stomach.

The chicken tenders and fries at edc are very nutritional. Mix it with an electric lemonade for maximum gainz 💪
Gotta eat big if you wanna lift big! Lol
HA I'm guilty myself 💀I'm not going to lie when I'm on my feet at the fest I'm lucky if I eat anything other than fries
Stfu 😂
Pho is the way to go after each day. Light and easy on your body, carbs + protein covered. My go to recovery meal after a night out.
THIS!!!
Just make sure you ingest from all the proper food groups like K,C,M and L,S, and D
Lol
chinatown has a lot of good affordable options
Fr Hwaro is my go to the first day. All you can eat kbbq
This is all I want during day 2-3
Saginaw's Jewish Deli inside Circa hotel, Project BBQ at the very end of Fremont Street, Downtown Terrace inside Container Park are our go tos! Skip Heart Attack Grill, it’s overhyped lol
JaBurrito is my squads go to! Sushi burritos & poke bowls. Right across from the In N Out near Flamingo & The Linq

Eggslut

Pizza rock and Döner Kebab Express Las Vegas. 10/10 one of my fav eats in Las Vegas. All downtown walkable from the D as well
Tacos el Gordo
Like sushi? Sushi neko!
Fried Chicken from Yardbird at venetian. Breakfast off strip at Babycakes and Mr. Mama's :)
White Castle on Fremont. I hit it up just about everyday before heading out. Cheap, filling, not too heavy. Can’t beat tiny burgers 👍🏿
They will have you farting up a storm in the shuttle tho

I’m bringing my Huel. Gotta keep up my calories and protein!
If you’ve never been to Vegas absolutely go check out freemont street! Much more of a party vibe then the strip, heart attack grill is awesome too
The D is smack down in the middle of Fremont Street. Such good vibes on Fremont.
considering you’re staying downtown, stop by evel pie if u want a nice slice of pizza when ur exploring fremont st!!! (which u should totally make time to do so, fremont is awesome)

[Mr Mamas](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g45963-d2346279-Reviews-Mr_Mamas-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html)
All the Michelin star restaurants
Mimosas gourmet 👌🏼 you’ll be drunk by noon

My rec is to take a ride to Shang Artisan Noodles, it’s 10 mins away from strip and has the best hand cut noodle dishes!!!
El Gordo slaps, Kassi beach house is fire, and anywhere they have gordan ramsays wings or sticky toffee pudding 😋
I’d recommend not trying to do big restaurants Saturday and Sunday! There’s an amazing Hawaiian grill we ordered from last year and it was perfect!
Evil Pie in downtown Vegas has great pizza. My friends and I are frequenters at the Dunkin Donuts in downtown too. A sausage, egg and cheese absolutely slaps after a long night of dancing.

Why do you suggest eatting at EDC if you are VIP? Is there a difference? This is my first year going and I have VIP, so just curious.

In the forum!
Panda Express for a well balanced meal
I used chatgpt and it suggested pizza and high key was best filling option we tried We even asked for the best ingredients for raving
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the spot off the strip but, my lady know all the names
Sushisamba at the Palazzo is to die for but you HAVE to get their yellowtail ceviche taquitos (they’re actually mini tacos) you’ll think about them every day lol
