With so much to see and do in Scottsdale, turn to a local for where to find the hottest nightlife, best restaurants and coolest hotels.

There’s no way to skirt around it — it’s hot in the summer, but that just means unbeatable deals and never-ending pool days.

The margaritas and green chile are reason enough to visit, but there’s more to Santa Fe than meets the tongue.

Think crystal skulls, gothic chandeliers, black wood and a cool “oh, so you know about this place too” feel.
