The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit erupted with frustration as attendees experienced massive shuttle delays at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2025. Reports streamed in of waits reaching four hours beginning as early as 7 PM at the Mid Strip shuttle stop — yet no shuttles were lined up. Traffic congestion snarled access to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway venue, with shuttles repeatedly detained at checkpoints due to ambiguous or shifting permit requirements, grinding progress to a near halt.
Commenters described this year’s shuttle service as notably worse than previous editions, lamenting the lack of designated VIP lanes and shuttles running under capacity. Many pinned blame on event management and base policies, highlighting inconsistent and poor communication from both sides. Road construction and incomplete shuttle loading compounded the sluggish flow.
Sentiment ran overwhelmingly negative, with widespread anger and disappointment voiced around disrupted access and disorganized logistics. Visuals posted showed dense, restless crowds waiting deep into the night, spotlighting the severity of the bottleneck.
This latest debacle echoes past years’ transportation headaches: as far back as 2015, NDOT warned drivers of potential jams around EDC (lasvegassun.com), and 2021 attendees similarly reported shuttle frustrations, sometimes opting for taxis or rideshares amid the delays (8newsnow.com).
With fan dissatisfaction mounting, these ongoing transport challenges underscore a critical area demanding urgent improvement to preserve and elevate the EDC experience moving forward.
