From living in the desert to entertainment in the desert.

Black Rock City is a town that exists for only one week each year, during Burning Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRbC3GPW1HI 

Darwin is a documentary feature about an isolated community at the end of a weathered road in Death Valley, California. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvR2Ktfr8JI

While there are some urban desert places such as, Coober_PedyAlice_SpringsAlbuquerqueLas_Vegas and Phoenix,_Arizona, some people really like being out in the middle of the open desert.

This bizarre, lawless land in the California desert is inhabited by drug addicts, eccentrics, army vets, hippies and just plain old weirdos. Slab City is referred to by its residents as "the last free place in America." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vVCSUafFVI
