DJ Hardwell at Tao

Las Vegas loves throwing parties to commemorate future parties, such as halfway to Halloween parties or Christmas in July. Tao Group and Insomniac Events are marking another midpoint milestone with Halfway to Electric Daisy Carnival parties all weekend. Sure it may seem a bit in advance to talk about, but if you’re like us, you’ve already busted out the hot glue gun and sewing machine to start painstakingly handcrafting three night’s worth of unique outfits. Get a taste of the EDC spirit at Tao with a special set from Dutch DJ/producer Hardwell. (In the Venetian, 10 p.m., TaoLasVegas.com.)
