For a July 7:00 PM show at Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic, the sun sits 14° up in the west at the start, so shade means getting under the grandstand roof or the deck above you. Sunset is 8:24 PM local, so an evening show gets real shade as the sun drops. By 7:05 PM the sun is only 13° up in the west, 80 minutes from setting.

Sun & sunset check for Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic · Satellite shadow view
Mountain sun is honest sun, at Lake Tahoe's elevation there is less atmosphere between you and it, so even a mild-feeling evening can burn. That is worth knowing before an open-air show at the Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic, where the July sun does not set until 8:24 PM.
At 7 PM in high summer the sun hangs about 14 degrees above the horizon, bearing west-northwest, and it keeps sliding down that bearing until it disappears at 8:24. Fourteen degrees is low, the kind of sun that ducks under brims and hits you at eye level rather than overhead. The good news is the window is short: a 7 PM start deals with under an hour and a half of direct sun, and the back half of any evening event here happens after sunset, when Tahoe cools off quickly.
We have not verified which way this venue faces, so we cannot say which side of the audience catches that low western light and which side is spared. Rather than guess, we will give you the reliable version: open venue means open sky, the sun's approach is from the west-northwest all evening, and a seat with that direction behind it is the comfortable one. Sunglasses matter more than sunscreen by 7 PM, though at this altitude you want both.
The satellite shadow view is the tool that closes the gap. It renders actual shadows from the surrounding structures and terrain at Lake Tahoe for whatever date and hour you choose. Pull it up for your show date, look at where shade already exists at 7 PM, and position yourself accordingly. Once the sun drops behind the mountains, bring a layer; the evening chill arrives fast.
