What an beautiful night it turned out to be. I'm not going to lie I originally heard about Rise and was disappointed in their prices and The Light Fest popped up on one of my news feeds. I looked into it, and for the price (Reasonable) I booked it over Rise! I could not of had a better time! And will for-sure go next year! (Maybe even to another state they have beside Nevada/Arizona)! The drive from Vegas was pretty easy.. Parking was quick, we arrived about 5:30 (doors open @3:30). Small little line to get your lanterns and we were right in. They didn't really check to see if you purchased tickets though. (Received 1 lantern (can purchase more, which you should!!! A black pen, light and sticker) A down fall of the event is that it wasn't as large as I had imagined, so when we got there it was pretty packed and most people had kinda surrounded each tiki torch as their own that was stationed all over the dirt field. So tip: Get there 3:30 so you get better spacing. (TIP: Arizona time is an hour ahead of VEGAS, so fact that hour in to arriving!) However we did enjoy meeting people next to use and all taking pictures of each other. Lots of food trucks (some lines were alittle longer than I had patience for), some good merchandise, and I think the blow up sitting chairs for sale were a hit (if you brought your own they blew them up for free). Recommendations are for The Light Fest to some how make the lantern release last longer. Between taking photos and taking turns with neighbors lighting each lantern I wanted MORE and MORE. I'm a photo freak and remember to also enjoy your time instead of all the photos. Another thing I wish they did a better job of was managing the parking lot exits. It was a free for all leaving with no one giving directions, soo either sit and hangout until everyone clears the lot or leave as soon as the lanterns are released.

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!!!! My boyfriend and I went to the one in San Diego back in April and had a blast. We got there right as the gates opened and enjoyed a relaxing day of hanging out, listening to music, and eventually witnessing one of the most magical things ever. Although the event was cancelled on the scheduled day of Saturday, we understood that there were strict conditions and decided to spend the day in SD and drove down to Imperial on Sunday. The experience is life changing. It makes you feel things. It was just amazing.

I had gone to the lights festival in Northern California and it was pure magical. If I could relive it again and again, I would without a doubt!. It's something everyone has to experience once in their life, as for myself, it was such an emotional experience, bc on my lantern, I wrote to my sister who had passed 3 years ago from cancer and when I let it go into the sky, it just felt so relieving in a way, like she was there with me. I loved it, and would absolutely 100 percent recommend to people and go myself again!! Tips:(what to expect and what to bring) -bring lawn chairs or a mat to sit on the ground -blankets, get cold at night depending what season it is -an empty stomach bc they have yummy food trucks -your own colorful markers to write on the lanterns with(something that I told myself to do but totally forgot) -camera to capture the breathtaking experience! -someone special(I almost didn't have anyone to take wit for this experience and thought about bringing just a random friend, and didn't realize how much an almost romantic feel it has to it) -this would honestly be a perfect date idea(hint:marriage purposal) -come early if you want good seats up front near the stage. -and the wait to get out is just crazy, everyone leaving at the same time that's why(not a tip, just letting you know) TIPS:(actual lighting the lantern part) -if you can have two people holding the lantern while you light it on fire would be a bit easier. -when the lantern is lit, WAIT FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS that way the air can be capture into the lantern and fly up(I've seen people who lit it on fire and let go immediately resulting the lantern to fall back and almost catching on fire) -please be patient as everyone is waiting their turn to light their lantern and waiting to let it go -also respect people when doing so and not getting into their shot as they're trying to capture the moment(too many people getting into our videos/pictures) -last but not least, enjoy and have the best time of your life!

We had the pleasure of doing wines and mines through a corporate event. Our tour guide Angela was…read morethe best, we couldn't believe it was her first day. She made the experience even better than we expected.

Although Kirsten was a very kind, cheerful and knowledgeable woman with an amazing personality,…read morethis tour was unfortunately not even close to worth the $3000 we had paid like we hoped it would be. We spent most of the time in the van and when we did stop at the locations, we weren't able to go inside to tour any of them or even use a bathroom at them, we just stood in the driveways to learn about them. I admire her passion for teaching, but we cannot for the life of us figure out how our $3000 was spent. The wine was limited to an ounce every time, and whenever we asked for a second "glass" the lady pouring would say "well we want to make sure everyone gets some!" - the "snacks" were two tiny pieces of cheese inside of a ziplock baggie and there is no place to use any restroom throughout the course of the entire tour... mainly because the tour takes place only in a van and standing in driveways. For $3000, a nice suggestion would've been a charcuterie spread INSIDE of one of the locations with some tastings and every person at that price should at the very least have been able to go home with a bottle of wine from the tour. I give her credit for starting up a creative business in an extremely competitive tourist city, but I can't in good faith allow anyone else to pay so much money to go into this expecting a luxury experience, and end up getting yelled at by a bus driver and having to sneak around an old hospital just to pee. I really liked her as a person and hope she can take this advice and use it to work on creating a better experience for all.

WORST experience I have ever had with a business. Christina Lloyd the owner is rude and…read moreunprofessional. I complained about the class my son was in because the teacher was always late so we weren't getting our full class time and when I sat in on a class to observe she didn't even know half the kids names (Even though they had been in her class for 4 months at this point) and she was teaching them dangerous moves that she herself could not perform. Some of the kids couldn't do the move and were in tears feeling inadequate. I pulled my son out and let Christina know through e-mail what was happening. She wouldn't respond... I was asking for a refund of the recital fees (for the recital 6 months away) and the costume fees. it took NUMEROUS unanswered e-mails before she would respond and tell me she wouldn't refund them even though it was their bad service that was making me leave, and she even admitted she hadn't started shopping for the costume. I would understand keeping the money if she'd already bought the costume but she hadn't. She then became SOOO RUDE and told me that the reason we were unhappy was because my child was SLOW and unable to pick up the choreography!!! HE WAS 5 YEARS OLD!!! She said the teacher and her had discussed him before I'd pulled him out. BUT THIS WAS A TOTAL LIE! THE TEACHER DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY SONS NAME! She kept calling him the wrong name in the class I watched. DO NOT GO HERE! THERE ARE LOTS OF GREAT PLACES TO GO TO- SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILD THE HEARTACHE!
