Get 'ULTRA LOADED' During EDC Weekend

ULTRA LOAD party extravaganza transforms Alexis Park Resort into a "Gay Village"...

It's hedonism season. Warmer weather is upon us, the day clubs are hiring "Model Servers", and gyms are packed with those prepping for pool season. This year's Coachella Music Festival has already lured over 100,000 per day to Indio, California, and Sin City tourists are prepping for Electric Daisy Carnival.

This year, ULTRA LOAD 2025 will add an LGBTQ spin to annual EDC festivities. ULTRA LOAD is the latest event from DESERT DAYS. The organization launched last October with a series of parties that coincided with Las Vegas Pride.

VEGAS 411 prepared you for all the Desert Days excitement in this preview. We also attended the opening night's wild gala (below), which included popular deejays, go-go dancers, and drag queen boxing matches!

ULTRA LOAD EDC is set to explode at Alexis Park Resort beginning May 16th. For three days and nights, ULTRA LOAD will transform the resort's pool area, rooftop terrace, and a special "Jungle Room" into one huge party. It's being billed as the city's "First Gay Village and Gay Day Club Experience." That means hundreds of hot shirtless guys and their friends.

Over two thousand are expected to get Ultra-Loaded with hot dance music supplied by twelve sizzling deejays. They include Janky, Sam Gee, Hector Fonseca, Eric Vilar, OtterPop, Brad Lee, Nick Stracener, and Dawna Montell.

Speedos, thongs, and totally outrageous outfits are the recommended attire...inhibitions be damned!

"Turn up the heat! We celebrate freedom and expression—wear as little or as much as you like. Be bold, bright, and unapologetic. Clothes Check is Available."

"The Jungle Room is an indoor dance/rave cave space featuring unique activations from your favorite familiar parties and promoters. The Jungle Room will feature its very own artists and sounds separate from the main pool. Take a break from the heat and enjoy this curated experience. This activation is open from 2pm."

It's within walking distance of numerous gay clubs, including sponsors Piranha and Gipsy. Weekend passes to Ultra Load include free admission to both clubs. So once you check in, you won't need a taxi or Uber/Lyft. Unless, of course, you're headed to EDC.

Poolside events offer the option to rent umbrella chairs, loungers, VIP tables, and private cabanas. The property has three pools, a rooftop deck overlooking the party, Alexis Gardens Restaurant & Steakhouse, and Pegasus Bar & Grill. Two Modern Showrooms pump out a half-dozen musical productions, including tributes to Motown and the disco era.
