Life is Beautiful Survival Tips
1. Don’t count on reliable cell reception, you’re sharing a space with nearly 100,000 others
2. General Admission guests get three exit and re-entries per day. Choose wisely.
3. Stay away from the open-toed shoes and forget the heels (you’ll thank us for this later)
4. You are allowed to bring a 1-Liter, sealed bottle of water- bring one
5. Lather on the sunscreen – the Las Vegas sun is no joke!
6. Explore the festival grounds – there is so much more to see than just the bands!
