Tisdale and friends kicked off the weekend Friday night with a private dinner at Social House at Crystals inside CityCenter, known for its frequent A-list visitors. The all-girl group dined on Rock Shrimp Tempura, Mini Kobe Burgers and a delicious assortment of sushi and sashimi,while sipping on signature cocktails.

Following dinner, Tisdale arrived at PURE Nightclub in style wearing a sexy lace dress paired with Christian Louboutin booties. While on the red carpet, the Hollywood beauty posed for pictures as she showed off her gorgeous new back-to-blonde locks. Also on the carpet, she addressed questions regarding the photos of her and close friend Zac Efron, saying “He’s like my brother, and we’ve always had the same relationship.” She continued, “We’ve always been this way and he’s one of my best friends and family, so is Vanessa.”

When told she would make a good couple with Efron, she replied with, “Oh well, that’s nice but I’m best friends with Vanessa, so that’s a little weird and plus he’s like my brother.”

She was then escorted inside alongwith her entourage to their VIP table located on the club’s iconic main stage. As soon as they arrived at their table, the girls set their purses down andstarted dancing and celebrating her big night. Later in the evening, Tisdale was presented with an adorable pink birthday cake while the packed club cheered her on. Smiling from ear-to-ear, the actress blew out her candles as friends wished her a “Happy Birthday.” After the cake presentation, Tisdale lead a champagne toast dedicated to her girls and thanked them for coming out for the weekend. She spent the rest of the evening dancing and partying into the early hours of the morning.

On Saturday (July 16), the girls kept the celebration going by opting for a more low key fête as they spent the day relaxing and lounging poolside at Venus Pool Club. Taking advantage of the hot summer day, Tisdale and her girls set up shop in one of the venue’s luxe cabanas where they immediately got into their teeny bikinis and began soaking up some rays. As the temperatures rose, the girls kept cool by sipping on frozen libations and taking advantage of the air-conditioned cabana.

Instead of indulging in another birthday cake, the petite hottie decided to munch on afresh fruit plate of watermelon and pineapple while lounging in her chair. Fighting the desert heat the celebutant tested out the Olympic-sized pool and joined sun-kissed partygoers as she dipped her toes in the cool water. Tisdale and her girlfriends made sure to perfect their tans as they stayed there until the late afternoon.

“I am grateful for how welcoming the city of Las Vegas has been, and excited by how much both the fans and the organizations we worked with loved the event,” said Pasquale Rotella, CEO and founder of Insomniac. “We could not have asked for a better team, from Insomniac’s staff to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Clark County Fire Department, Dr. Dale Carrison, Medic West, American Medical Response, and UMC. I want to thank everyone involved for believing in us.”

Attendees experienced a smooth entrance each day including a state-of-the-art identification screening process, verifying all attendees were 18 or over, along with a multi-stage search process to ensure only approved items were allowed into the festival.

The partnerships with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County Fire Department, University Medical Center, Medic West, CSC, Staff Pro, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and many others kept security and safety concerns to a minimum.

“The event was an overwhelming success for Las Vegas and fans of the event,” commented Captain David O’Leary of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. “Over the course of my long career, I have never witnessed a more respectful and overwhelmingly grateful group of fans and organizers.”

“This was a great crowd – polite, cooperative, and appreciative,” said Dr. Dale Carrison, UMC Chief of Staff. “Insomniac provided every resource we requested so we went into the event feeling adequately prepared. Considering the number of people who were out here, the number of incidents we treated was minimal, and certainly no more than any event of this size would produce.”

Insomniac regularly updated fans via the Electric Daisy Carnival Web site on the importance and practice of staying hydrated before, during and after the festival. With free Water Refill Stations, attendees were able to fill any beverage container or Insomniac branded water canteen in order to stay hydrated throughout the event.

Creating a true carnival atmosphere, the festival featured more than 200 performers, including dancers, fire twirlers, aerialists, and stilt walkers, plus numerous full size carnival rides and attractions. The 1,000-acre complex was transformed into a fully immersive audiovisual experience as 13 large-scale art installations created their own interactive environments amidst the six stages, along with state-of-the-art lighting and sound production. Attendees also experienced the most impressive pyrotechnics display in Insomniac’s history, featuring a 15-minute fireworks display each night and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics on every stage.

The VIP offerings were elevated to a new level at this year’s event with posh table reservation areas providing multilevel views overlooking the festival, intimate seating adjacent to the main stage, and extravagant amenities. The partnership with elite nightclub operators Marquee and XS brought experienced staff and exceptional service to the venue.

“It was a fantastic debut for Insomniac in the Las Vegas market, and we felt an overwhelming welcome from the beginning,” said Rotella. “I can’t wait to start working on what we can do bigger and better for the next event.”
