I will be flying up there Wednesday evening and staying for a few days.

My wife will be in meetings until about 6pm that Thursday and Friday. Anything good for me to do to past the time until then?

Any suggestions for things to do together in the evening time or Saturday?

Any good restaurants or museums? Places to shop? Places to get some good liquid cialis? :lol"

Any advice would be appreciated.

I understand why lizards live in sunny Arizona. Why people do and they call it home I'll never understand

Eh, got excited for a second. Suns are playing Portland the day I get in town, but I miss half the game before we got there.

Oh, any advice on how to pack.

I hear it goes from cold to hot and back pretty randomly.

Shorts and t-shirt during the day, it will be in the 70s. At night wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt.....maybe bring along a sweatshirt but you won't need it unless you are out after 10-11pm.

You can walk to downtown from your hotel and there are 100s of museums, art galleries, restaurants, bars etc. I would just walk around and you will find something that interests you.

For shopping you can walk to Fashion Square, its one of the nicest malls in the country.

Take her around downtown and if you want a nice meal I would suggest the Second Story Liquor Bar or The Mission

There's a lot of cool hikes and sight seeing on the outskirts. Was there for work a while back and hiked up camel back mountain one afternoon. Heard there were better places a little further out.

It's a golfers dream as well if you have the time.

You could watch old people back out of parking spaces. May be good for a few chuckles.

If you are in moderate shape, hiking up Camelback mountain is a good time.

There are tons of hiking to do in the area. Camelback is one of the most popular hikes there. Another one is Squaw Peak. McDowell Mountain by Fountain Hills also has a lot of hiking as well. Basically....there are hiking trails all over the Phoenix Valley...just depends what area you are in and what you are in the mood for hiking wise.


OP....if you like hiking it's the perfect weather now to do some hiking during the day. Can just google "popular hikes in Phoenix/Scottsdale" and you will find one you want to do. If you like to golf, you've come to the perfect place. You could also check out the Top Golf here as well...it's not far from where you are staying. It's right by Talking Stick Resort and Casino...which is a really nice casino if you like to gamble. Look for the resort building at night...the whole thing lights up. Right now I think it will look like fireworks are going off on the building. For Christmas it was red and green, or it looked like snowflakes falling, Fourth of July it looked like a giant flag waving across the building. Just kind of a cool sight as you are driving on the 101 at night.


Old Town Scottsdale has a ton of cool bars and restaurants you can go to by just walking around. Some cool casual places as well. Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers is a favorite of ours....food not too pricey, nice patio, great for watching sports, food good and lots of different beers. DO NOT go to Union Barrelhouse. Place sucks service wise. Husband just had a horrible lunch experience there with coworkers. Enjoy your time in Scottsdale, you picked a great time of year to visit

His hotel is about 1000 feet from the backside trail of Camelback so I would suggest he just does that if he wants to hike.

Keep in mind Arizona is more than just Phoenix. I live in Arizona and have to deal with snow.

Ok OP....also be sure to check out Loco Patron next door. Food is good and cheap as well.



480...we just like that place. You been to Union Barrelhouse yet? B went with coworkers last week and one of them wrote a really bad yelp review on it. Basically they were there for almost 2 hours because their order was forgotten...then when they got their food it tasted horrible(fries burnt badly). It took forever to get drink refills. And not once during all that did any of the staff even apologize for the wait. Not the waitress, manager didn't come over and apologize or offer to comp anything, nothing.
