EDC Vegas Prices Are Insane, Primm’s Last Hope, Wild Vegas Shower & Pedestrian Bridge MYTH!

May 22, 2026

Episode Description

EDC Las Vegas is expanding to two weekends, and the money around the festival keeps getting harder to believe. Shawn and Mark talk about the $4,400 official EDC hotel package at Virgin, the roughly $215K Saturday-night spend one guest posted online, and why Vegas only needs a few whales to change the math for everyone else.

They also cover Primm’s upcoming July 4 closure, the Primm family’s attempt to find a path forward, the sad housing situation for workers, and the only half-joking idea that EDC should just buy Primm. Other topics include Golden Tiki’s new food and drink menu, Circa’s Father’s Day package, the Colorado Belle’s uncertain future, Four Queens’ aggressive shower, and the myth that Strip pedestrian bridges were built to funnel tourists into casinos.
