It is a renown arts and tourist center and has a wide variety of restaurants and night clubs as well as world-class shopping. You should visit.
it still sucks. You have no idea how tired I am of tourists asking me "whats there to do in scottsdale." I always reply with "well it's a suburb so there is a bit, but not as much as Phoenix." and when I tell them Kierland Commons is in Phoenix, they go from cant wait to be there to not wanting to go in a matter of seconds.
