Featuring daily live performances by emerging country artists, the Desert 5 House Band, line dancing and two stepping classes, with weekend DJ’s playing country hits all night long, Desert 5 Spot welcomes one and all to leave their tensions and pretensions at the door, put on their boots and let the good times roll.
