“When we think about how to describe this event, we’re flooded with the feedback we receive each year. From major music fans, the biggest celebrities, and performing artists themselves, the feedback is always the same – ‘There’s nothing like it,’ ‘it’s mind blowing,’ ‘I’ve never seen an event like this in such a luxurious space.’ For over 8 years, that feedback has been the same. At CMG, we are fortunate to be able to produce a lot of one of a kind experiences that push the boundaries. Out of everything we do, the culture and experience that we’ve curated with Desert Nights is the coolest thing we do.” – David Corso, Founder & CEO, Corso Millner Group
