Being a local of Atlantic City, I feel like it is only appropriate that I help out everyone with Electric Adventure and leading up to the festival. With this, I’ll be continuing my plan for putting out a series of posts to help you completely get prepared for this festival. Let us be your liaison for this amazing festival and we’ll get you through smoothly for the most enjoyment. Before we start, if you don’t have tickets, buy them here. If you’re looking for hard tickets, contact our friends, @bashconcepts.
Now that you found a place to stay and you have your food / drink plans taken care of, the next thing you’re probably worrying about is food and drinks. This is the hardest choice because there are so many great options. That said, no matter where you end up, you’re going to have one hell of a good time. So without further ado, here’s our tips and such.
1. After Parties are 21+ ONLY
I can’t stress this enough. These events are 21+ only because this is Atlantic City. All of the venues are in the casinos and the only things that you can be in the casino under 21 years old is the restaurants and the hotel. I HIGHLY suggest not trying to use a fake or doing a passback or whatever scheme you have. These places have great security and they will escort you not only out of the club, but off the premises and cops are waiting for these situations to happen.
2. If you’re VIP, you get in FREE
If you paid for a VIP ticket to Electric Adventure, all of the official after parties are free to you. This is great because these events start to add up very quickly. You get the benefits of VIP at the festival and you can walk right into the event. This doesn’t mean you’re VIP at the after party, but free is free which is good for you and me.
3. Bottle Service is the way to go
I am a firm believer that if you go to a club anymore, you need to do bottle service especially for this weekend. They are very pricey as this is how the clubs make a majority of their revenue, but the pros outweigh the cost. Get about 8 people, dress up, and throw together the money you saved. Here is why:
- You’ll get guaranteed booze without waiting in the crowd.
- You pay per bottle so you can have multiple drinks and types of drinks. Vodka goes well with a lot.
- A place to sit. After being at the festival all day, you have a secluded area that you can sit for a bit while enjoying the festivities
- Less crowded. No one is allowed at your table UNLESS YOU SAY SO. Security will help.
- You feel super freaking awesome.
Here are the official after parties that we’re currently aware of:
Bingo Players at Haven Nightclub – August 1st
My favorite nightclub in Atlantic City is holding Bingo Players as an after party. This is going to be a huge event. Haven always goes incredibly hard and you’re going to be partying so hard all night that you’ll walk out tired, but with a huge smile! Buy tickets here. Reserve a table here.
A-Trak at Providence – August 1st
Seeing A-Trak in his element is going to be a magical event. Providence Nightclub is perfect for this event as they tend to hold all of the Jersey Club events as well as the open-format DJ’s. You’re going to get one hell of a performance from A-Trak that will definitely not disappoint! Click here to buy tickets. Reserve a table here.
Dillon Francis at Mixx – August 2nd
This is perhaps the biggest after party of them all. Mr. Donut himself is going to be taking over Mixx at the Borgata and you’re going to be partying so hard that Monday is going to be super hard for you. Doesn’t matter. Still partied with Dillon Francis. Click here to buy tickets. Reserve a table here.

Welp. There goes Haven. I know that Yellow Claw is going to destroy the club with the set that they’re going to play. This is going to be one wild event with this trio. Easily a great way to end your amazing weekend. Click here to buy tickets. Reserve a table here.
