Why wait? Buy your tickets, pack a picnic, and get goin.' When it's hot in Vegas, the grassy lawn at Spring Mountain will cool you down. We meet up with several couples a few hours before plays begin to watch the sun go down behind Red Rock. Each couple brings a course and we share dinner together. I like the sunset, wine and conversation the most.
I usually fall asleep shortly after dinner, not because the plays are uninteresting, but who wouldn't fall asleep after drinking wine then laying down under the stars? I plan to buy a short chair for next summer. Sitting upright should help.
In my view the actors and musicians are talented. Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory was fun. My favorite play was The Buddy Holly Story in the summer of '09. The music was amazing.
For a few hours on Saturday nights in the summer I feel grounded and connected--thankful for my friends and the gorgeous landscape that surrounds us.
