Las Vegas, once again showing it is truly an area where you can have any kind of entertainment and succeed. (with the exception of anything NBA All Star games) Los Angeles and Dallas are pikers compared to Las Vegas.
The media and some of the typical naysayers (which is again the media) have been shown that you can have a large music festival, like the Electric Daisy Carnival, for the younger adult crowd and it will succeed.
The reason why the older people, like those in the media, didn't think they could succeed is because their youth was a failure. From Woodstock to the Grateful Dead to Disco to Rap, those have been failures. Drugs, violent deaths or weirdness was the calling card for these groups.
But the younger crowd that has been coming out of the high schools and colleges recently have been pretty decent folk and they are not always into drugs and violence.
The biggest story was a couple of 30 year olds who were stupid enough to try and forge tickets or wristbands. Other than that, the media is still looking for a story. They are truly shocked that nothing has gone wrong.
But so far, there have been less than 25 people transported to the hospital. You get that many going to the hospital from Strip hotels a day. You also have a handful of arrests, nothing major and less than what happens in the Vegas Valley on a daily basis.
So congratulations for the people responsible for the concert and for the people who approved it in government. Good job and come back next year.
