What Items Can I Bring to EDC Las Vegas?

EDC has a long list of prohibited items, as well as a long list of allowed items. Before filling your party pack, make sure the item you’re bringing is allowed, or else you may have to toss it when going in! Please note that your mileage may vary depending on who’s checking your bag. You don’t want to get stopped at the gate especially if you’ve got VIP bottle service. You may occasionally be able to slip some items through depending on how thorough the search is. But we wouldn’t recommend bringing anything on the prohibited items list unless you’re willing to throw it away.
