This one starts just before dark and finishes under the stars. The route runs through Red Rock Canyon, on the west edge of Las Vegas, and the timing is the whole point: the sun drops while you are out there, Joshua trees disappear into shadow, and the city lights glow on the horizon behind you. It is a genuine desert night run, not a themed one.
