Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2018, now held in the middle of May will have tent camping and RV sites with optional hookups for the first time ever, and they are not playing cutesy with the heat. All provided tents have adjustable A/C and all RVs are required to have working A/C through a generator or shore power.

I've put A/C & power requirements in bold, in the excerpts from the Camp EDC info webpage. https://lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com/camping/ I hope I satified the link description rules.

Welcome to Camp EDC! We at Insomniac have always dreamed of bringing camping to Vegas, and with the new festival dates in the cooler month of May, we can now share that dream with all of our Headliners. Still concerned about the heat? We’ve got you covered with air-conditioned tents, showers, the Mesa pool, misting stations, and more to keep you cool.

Camp EDC offers a whole new way to experience the festival. Whether you select the comfort of our luxury ShiftPod2 tents or choose to drive your own RV, a wide range of amenities and activities awaits you. Stay on-site, avoid the traffic, and enjoy four nights of magic within walking distance of the festival gates. Campers will have exclusive in/out privileges to and from the festival (during festival hours) and a dedicated campers-only festival entrance.

At the heart of Camp EDC lies the Mesa, a bustling hub of entertainment, activities, and amenities that campers can enjoy and take part in all weekend long. From daytime pool parties and go-kart racing, to a curated guest speaker series and group classes that exercise your mind, body, and spirit, campers can experience a completely new side of EDC.

Only campers will have access to an exclusive Thursday night kickoff party on the Mesa, featuring surprise DJ sets and live entertainment on the Parliament Art Car. When you camp Under the Electric Sky, the EDC experience never ends.

ARRIVAL
Your festival wristband will be scanned upon entry, along with your vehicle decal and tent tokens. Each group member will then also be given a camping wristband — up to 4 people for Moon Glow Camping or 2 people for Desert Rose Camping. For Moon Glow group members arriving at different times, a second vehicle decal will be needed; each passenger will be given a camping wristband (up to 4 total for both vehicles).

ARRIVAL
Your festival wristband will be scanned upon entry, along with your RV decal or hangtag. Each group member will then also be given a camping wristband — up to the vehicle’s specified sleeping capacity, with a maximum of 8 people per RV site.
...
INSPECTION
Your RV will then receive a thorough search and an assigned parking space. All RVs will be checked to ensure they:

   do not exceed the total permitted length of 45 feet, including tow vehicle if applicable
   have a working air conditioner powered by a non-engine-driven generator
   have 50–75 feet of cable with the proper connector (if you have opted to purchase power)
...
RV CAMPSITES

   Due to the layout of the power grid, the RV campground will be divided into areas based on power type: dry camping (no power option), 30-amp, or 50-amp.
   Staking anything into the ground is not permitted, so please plan accordingly.

CAMPSITE POLICIES
TENT CAMPING

   Upon check-in, one person from each EDC tent camping group must present a credit card with a matching valid photo ID. A temporary $250 hold will be placed on the credit card until the tent and equipment are inspected upon checkout. You are responsible for any and all damages to the tent and equipment while in your possession and any repair costs and/or excessive cleaning costs incurred as a result of your use of the tent and equipment.
   Each campsite will feature a 4-port USB strip in which to plug their electronic devices. For any additional accessories that need to be plugged in to a standard electrical outlet, charging stations will be provided in the Mesa, as well as near the shower compounds.
   Each tent will be provided with enough power to sustain operation for the air-conditioning unit and USB strip. Unplugging either the air conditioner or the USB power plug and connecting an external item runs the risk of overloading the circuit, posing a safety hazard to the rest of the campground.
   If a guest unplugs the air conditioner or USB strip, camping personnel reserve the right to unplug the tent from the power grid for the remainder of the festival. This is for the safety and comfort of all guests of Camp EDC.

RV CAMPING

   Each camper must have a valid festival ticket and camping pass and must arrive ready in their RV.
   RVs may not be dropped off or picked up by a third party.
   You may not exceed the total permitted length of 45 feet, including tow vehicle if applicable. If you are bringing a separate vehicle or non-motorized trailer that can’t fit in the provided RV camping space, you must purchase a vehicle add-on.
   All RVs must have a working air conditioner powered by an on-board generator — the vehicle engine may NOT be left running.
   All RV guests must arrive to the campground with a full tank of fuel to prevent issues with air conditioning.
   No personal generator refueling will be permitted. (debit.servus note: the genset will need to be tapped to the conventional RV's main fuel tank or a giant legal looking fuel container, if  portable generators are allowed)
   If you have opted to purchase power, you must bring a 50–75-foot cable with the proper connector.
   If you are connected to a 30A or 50A power supply, and your RV overloads the power source, tripping the fuse, the breaker will be reset and you will be issued a one-time warning. If it occurs a second time, your RV will be disconnected from the power grid, without a refund, for the remainder of the festival.
   Once parked, RVs may not be moved until 9am on Monday, May 21, unless leaving the festival and not returning. If you would like to leave the campsite before the end of the weekend, please reach out to a Camp EDC staff member for an escort.

When the electronic music festival in North America doesn't play cutesy with the heat, after being moved to the middle of May...

Watching the official announcement for Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2018 and saw they moved the 3 day electronic music festival to The weekend of May 20th, 2018. I can see no other reason for the shift than move to cooler weather. Previous years EDC LV was held in the third weekend of June.

When the largest electronic music festival in North America is moved to a less inhospitable part of the year that's is a sure sign that extreme heat isn't just uncomfortable, it's dangerous.  
...

That is my sign not to play cutesy with hot weather.
