Dan,
The obvious solution is to head north of the Monsoon season. My picks would be:
1.Hinkey Summit north of Paradise Valley. pg. 21 in the NV Gazetteer @7869 feet it has the dry, way out of the way feel to it. It is dark at night with no glow of cities. We camped there in May of 2010, a heavy snow year:
These clouds were gone by sundown:
Another is up Angel Lake Road S.W. of Wells NV. just shy of 10K ft, clear air, far enough north. You are shielded from the faint lights of Wells on the horizon. pg. 32 on the NV Gazetteer. It's a very steep pitch to the top. We camped there in 2008.
I hope you have better luck this time than the last event you recommended.
regards, as always, jefe
