I always imagined that if I ever found myself sitting in the middle of an empty field, under the blazing sun, outside of Las Vegas, that something had gone horribly wrong and I was going to be the next occupant of one of the many talked-about but rarely found “holes in the desert.”
Instead, I was pleasantly surprised at this particular occasion, because I was at the 2019 Las Vegas Lights Fest. (It’s actually in Littlefield, Arizona, which is right outside Mesquite, Nevada, which itself, is an hour north of Las Vegas.)
There is plenty to love about this event and a few improvements that desperately need to happen if it’s going to be held in the same place any time in the future.
