Your friends always ask you “Where the party at” this weekend. Going out is something you soldier up for, and you are no noob. You’re practically a veteran with the no-sleep, no hangover thing. You keep to a strict regimen of Pedialyte, Tylenol, water and prayers. The security guards high five you or give you a hug when you arrive. From the Playa to the warehouse, you’re like a ninja at keeping a fresh look going all night. It’s our duty to tell you, and maybe you already knew, but: YOU MIGHT BE A PROFESSIONAL PARTIER.

Here’s a list of the classical traits of the Pro-Partier in their natural habitat. Can you think of some we missed?


If you and your crew have matching sets of onesies….

You might be a Professional Partier.

If you’re in a group chat dedicated solely to weekend plans….

You might be a Professional Partier.


If your weekend is spent in an enchanted forest, a hologram spaceship, an iron-and-fire dystopia, an under-the-sea wonderland or similar fantasy/sci-fi environments…

You might be a Professional Partier.

Last year’s West Coast Weekender under-the-sear party room, complete with lit-up jellyfish and aquatic light shows.

If you KNOW you’re supposed to bring earplugs so you can stand safely in front of the speakers…

You might be a Professional Partier.


If you’re always ready for a flawless event photo from the official  photographer...

Some Pros at last year’s West Coast Weekender 2018, including Deep End Resident DJ Arielle Z.

If you met your significant other at a show…

You might be a Professional Partier.

And if you DO meet some lucky stranger at our festival, you can get to know each other better at San Diego’s premier adult-only hotel. West Coast Weekender at Viejas Casino & Resort is conveniently located next to Willows Hotel and Spa, where only 21 years of age and older can stay at this collection of suites with all floor-to-ceiling windows, and get oh-so-cozy in the secluded Allure Pool.


If brunch is a non-negotiable after after-after-after party…

You might be a Professional Partier.

At Viejas Casino & Resort, there are a variety of eateries and bars throughout the entire grounds. And when it comes to a relaxing brunch, there are two great options on Sunday morning. Locale Kitchen & Lounge, which takes reservations, boasts a seasonal, regionally sourced menu and starts dining at 11 am, perfect timing after a long night of dancing. And for the biggest menu of options, The Viejas Buffet offers dishes from every continent, and specialty menu items on the weekends, including a Bloody Mary Bar and Omelette Bar. BRUNCH plans looking solid.


If you watch the sunrise and STILL make it to work on time…

You might be a Professional Partier.

Can’t nobody break your stride. After a blitzed night of shenanigans, you’re back at the office killing it. Conveniently, Viejas Resort & Spa is just a short 25 minutes from San Diego proper, so you will make it to work on time.


If you still have a stamp on from a party last week, and it’s Wednesday…

You might be a Professional Partier.

Our event is wristbanded, so you can hide the evidence the following Wednesday. As Pro-Partiers always do.


If you went to FYRE Fest…

You ain’t no Professional Partier, biatch.

You’d better get your booty to West Coast Weekender and do it right and gain some party cred!
