Salvage City

Tucked inside EDC Las Vegas’ Nomads Land, Salvage City was a fully enclosed, 360° immersive supper club where guests dined in the ruins of a forgotten world. Over the course of five nightly seatings, audiences were pulled into a cinematic, post-apocalyptic universe brought to life through layered storytelling, original characters, multi-sensory design, and a five-course gourmet meal. Part dinner party, part fever dream, Salvage City turned fine dining into a full-blown narrative experience.

Design a premium, ticketed experience that would redefine what VIP could look like at EDC—offering guests an intimate, immersive escape within the heart of the festival. Salvage City needed to be more than just a meal; it was a place to reset and recharge, to step out of the chaos and into a fully realized world where food, character, environment, and performance worked in seamless harmony. The goal: create a transformative experience guests would still be talking about long after they rejoined the rest of the festival.

Festival Meets Fine Dining: Building a high-touch immersive show in the middle of a music festival required rigorous planning and flexibility. Every element, from pacing to seating to performer blocking, had to work within the realities of a quick-paced, high-volume environment.

World-Building in a Temporary Space: The environment had to feel permanent and lived-in, despite being built from the ground up. Scenic, lighting, and costume teams collaborated closely to create a unified visual world, down to the last rusted bolt and glowing neon.

Integrated Creative Development: From the very first concept sketch, food and beverage were part of the narrative. Each course, cocktail, and character reveal was timed to deepen the guest journey, not distract from it.

Salvage City exceeded expectations, selling out every seating and generating buzz both inside the festival and across social media. Guests called it one of the most unexpected highlights of EDC. For Insomniac and No Ceilings, it proved that even in the heart of a music festival, an immersive dinner show could deliver surprises, storytelling, seamless hospitality, and unforgettable theatricality, all in one wild, gritty, glittering package.
