Phoenix is hot.
Literally and figuratively. Phoenix has been one America’s fastest growing cities over the years, and it seemingly hosts every major sporting event possible (BCS bowl games, Super Bowl, Final Four, etc) because of its world class stadiums and ample hotel facilities. No doubt it’s in part by having the tony suburb of Scottsdale and college towns of Tempe and Glendale nearby adding to its metropolitan area mix.
The capital of Arizona, Phoenix is your perfect desert getaway for a weekend, that’s why so many snowbirds head south to Phoenix, especially in the winter. And for the rest of us: there’s spas, shopping, golf and fabulous chain restaurants. Jk there’s obviously great local stuff including a rich art and cultural scene (so many murals!).
