I don't really consider it a desert if there's a town there with bars and such like.

To me a desert is the Sahara where there's no civilization for miles around.

You may as well just have a bunch of films set in Vegas seeing as that's in the desert.

Don't actually know Revenge at all.

I suppose the Mad Max films could qualify if they – like Mad Max: Fury Road – mostly take place in the desert.

Revenge is a French rape-revenge thriller/horror from 2017. It's highly rated by many people, myself included.
