It's been discussed. I love the location and I guarantee I had the coldest tent in the land.
My tips:
For the past 2 years I've seen people try it to shade their tent by putting standard blue tarps on them. While this does provide some shade the issue tends to be that the tarp makes contact with the tent. This does not allow for air flow and actually insulates the tent to be hotter. If you attach your tarp and then with some strings pull the corners out and away from the tent, this will allow a for greater airflow and thus a cooler tent to.
This year I purchased one of these and it was the best idea ever.

Using the same trick of pulling the corners out in allowing air flow this hands down kept our tent at least 5 to 10ﾟ cooler in direct sunlight with out the ac.
As far as the air conditioners they used last year. I saw many people having common issues like water in their tent or the airconditioner not actually being cold. The 1st reason for having water in your tent would be not draining your air conditioning they did not include hoses so this was something that needed to be done daily. Doing so also improves the efficiency of the airconditioner. 2nd, you must take all of the filters out I believe last year's air conditioners had 5 of them. This will greatly improve the air flow into the unit and out of the unit l. 3rd I saw several people take their exhaust hose and push it up to the screen vent in the bottom of the tent to. What should have been done is the hose needed to be placed outside the tent and the air conditioner as close to the door as possible. The reason for this is that the screen at the bottom of the tent inhibits the air flow from getting out and actually pumps more hot air into the tent. Lastly have the air conditioner as close to the door as you can. it definitely helps to keep one side of the tent flap door open, you really do want air circulation coming in from outside as the air will generally be cooler as the tent starts to cool down. Once you reach and nice temperature you can close up the tent still leaving the hose hanging outside.
One more thing a small pop up canopy over the front door as a bonus shade to have the air cool before it gets inside.
I really do hope this helps anyone dealing with the heat next year.
