Escape the ordinary. Soar like an eagle across Southern Nevada. This "Music Scenic DVD" transports you into a world of spectacular vistas of extraordinary beauty. Feel the adrenaline rush of helicopter flight over LAS VEGAS at night. Fly over and drive across RED ROCK CANYON and the VALLEY OF FIRE. See HOOVER DAM and LAKE MEAD from the air and from the ground. Experience a virtual automobile ride along the Las Vegas Strip. Music and visual movement come together in their purest form, creating a visual symphony of musical themes and perpetual motion.

When you take a Music Scenic ride, you choose the music that suits your mood. This DVD offers two Music Selections in Dolby Digital Surround Sound:

NEW AGE MELODIC and MOVIE SCORE ORCHESTRAL.

The music selections are two complete movies, each 25 minutes long, offering the viewer two distinct visual interpretations of two very different music styles. The New Age music is contemporary instrumental with ethereal vocals. The Movie Score Orchestral soundtrack features a full orchestra with suspenseful, dramatic, sweeping and celebratory as well as playful and warm themes. Filmed in High Definition in 2004, this widescreen presentation was exclusively produced for DVD. Not region encoded, this DVD will play on most players in the world. All menus are DVD Motion Menus. Bonus Features include two Vegas clips "Tribute to the Chairman" and a "Map Movie", juxtaposing animated maps with clips from the presentation. The viewer can trace the journey of the filmmakers and see where every sequence was filmed. Also included is an extensive slideshow about the history of places visited. "Dreaming Nevada" is the follow up to "American Journey Vol. 1 – Dreaming Arizona"

A smooth and beautiful glide through Southern Nevada. I've only been to Nevada to gamble, but this rich visual journey takes in all the picturesque sights that I've only seen on postcards. It's a very relaxing DVD that takes you through the natural landscapes of The Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon to the fantasies of the Las Vegas Strip.

I expected another come-on travelogue, and was I surprised to discover Nevada through the eyes of an artist and poet. To me this DVD is a tone poem wrapped around high-impact visuals. I have played the soundtrack sans the visuals a number of times and, amazingly, it stands on its own like a CD I bought at Tower Records. The next time I go to Vegas I plan to play the soundtrack on my car stereo while I drive to Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire. Sweeping across Nevada on the wings of this DVD makes it l'aventure extrordinaire. I can't recommend it highly enough and I can't wait to "sweep" across other states in Mr. Zahn's fabulous phaeton!!!

Finally a DVD which celebrates the beauty of Nevada's nature (stunning landscapes) as well as the artificial beauty of Vegas. It reminds me of the Tom Wolfe book in which he elevated Las Vegas architecture of neon kitsch to a genuine art form of the American century. The surround sound music is awesome and the widescreen aerial shots of Vegas at night absolutely gorgeous. Besides the night time sections (the DVD also features daytime drive shots of the Strip), my favorite parts are Valley of Fire which truly looks like Mars, and Red Rock Canyon. The Map Movie shows you how close everything is to Vegas. Next time I'm there, I'll take day trips to those places. Also, the bonus materials include "Tribute to the Chairman" with two great songs and a singer who sounds just like Frank. Don't expect a "travelogue" / casino infomercial like almost all of the Vegas videos out there (mostly compiled of casino promotional footage). Expect a unique experience, especially for widescreen buffs like me who expect great picture quality.
