The Art of EDC Las Vegas: El Pulpo Mecanico

“This 25-foot tall, fire-shooting mechanical octopus is made from recycled pieces of metal found on the roadside in Mexico.”

Some considerd El Pulpo the “biggest asshole of EDC,” much to our amusement, but it’s true—you never know when he’ll sneak up behind you and shoot strings of fire into the air. You can’t help but love him, though; flame-throwing octopi are so misunderstood these days.
