Not really in the Sahara, but in Apple Valley CA.
Heres some Pics of my modest set up. I do strive to someday scale it down and upgrade my lights and move to smaller speakers and a sub maybe, but for now, it is what it is, as long I can get the crowd rocking and the clients happy, thats all that matters. I usually have 4 Par 38's on top, but last minute the client calls me and asks about uplighting the cake. Good thing she called early. I dont have any uplights at the moment but I do remember seeing someone use stainless steel bowls for bases , so off to WalMart I go and get some cake pans and drill holes and make some last minute stands, which actually turned out well. She only needed 2 but it would have looked stupid if I only had 2 Pars on the light stand so I just put the Colorstrip for backup. When the client asked me over the Phone "How Much Extra" , I told her we'll talk about it later. At the end of the night she, she handed me a check( I already received final payment the week before BTW) and asked if this was OK for the uplight hassles. I looked at it and it was more than enough plus a nice Tip guess,. I just smiled and said yes. It just reaffirmed my belief that if you go the extra mile and give it your all, everything works out somehow.

Never thought of it that way. I have always had it facing me when its stationary so I can read it. But I do have it on Rotation during the couples first dance. Its pretty cool as it moves almost at the same speed as the mirror ball.
