I traveled from NY to Las Vegas to attend VMS, and below I\u2019ve listed some financial aspects I needed to consider:<\/p>\n
Airfare: About $300 roundtrip<\/span>Hotel: VMS has a partnership with a 5 star hotel called the Downtown Grand. The discount rate $50 per night, which can be split between up to 4 people. #bless<\/span>Entertainment: The Ubers\/Lyfts, foods\/drinks\u00a0\u2013 they really add up! I recommend to have about $100 readily available, and DEFINITELY more if you plan to gamble and buy souvenirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nImpact<\/div>\n
You will learn about the music industry! Like a lot about it!\n
My favorite panels focused on how to run a music festival and how to kick butt with playlist marketing. Additionally, you get to learn about A&R, management, distribution, and you also get to experience an artist showcase.<\/p>\n
2. Networking be real tho<\/p>\n
When I was at VMS, I met the management mind behind Linkin Park, as well as students from several other colleges. I even met Las Vegas locals of the industry- all of whom were so friendly and welcoming to me and my peers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
