Ninety percent. That's the overall shade figure our engine computes for a typical 7 PM show at the Cactus Petes Resort Casino Outdoor Amphitheater in Jackpot, Nevada, one of the better results we've measured at an outdoor venue. Even from 6 PM onward the average holds at 79 percent. Two things drive it: a canopy over the seating, and a sun that's nearly done for the day by showtime, sitting just 11 degrees above the horizon before an 8:12 PM sunset.
The layout is verified, the stage faces south-southwest over the crowd, and the canopy does its job well enough that the engine finds a block of sections at a flat 100 percent shaded for a typical evening: 109, 110, and 111 on the lower level and 210, 211, and 212 above them. If you burn easily or you're bringing kids, those are the no-thought picks at Cactus Petes.
The sunnier end of the map is modest by any venue's standard: Lawn 7 at 79 percent, Lawn 6 at 73, Pit 2 at 71, and Lawn 5 at 63. Worst case, you're talking about a fraction of an hour of low, slanting desert light.
Northern Nevada's dry air makes the evening math different from a humid-climate venue. The sun feels sharp right up until it drops, and then the temperature falls off quickly. Bring sunscreen for the first hour and a jacket for the last one. Daytime events under this sky are a much bigger exposure question than any evening show. For your seat and your date, the interactive shade map will give you the exact minute the shade reaches you.
