If you are willing to do a little driving (north of Reno) you can particpate in a unique experience called Burning Man. Having not attended it, I can not comment on it, though think it would be fun to check it out!

Beware: Don't just show up and think you will get a ticket at the event- they are currently listed on line as going $300+!
