Not every mall can be a South Coast Plaza, and that doesn't mean that other 5-star malls don't exist.
This mall has all the stores that you could want or need, including the luxury market. Sad that the Barney's closed, could use a Bloomingdale's to fit into the market between Macy's and Nieman.
Food court and options have improved (though the loss of Modern Steak was a shame.) Parking is mostly covered and all of it is convenient to the mall itself. The new theater is pretty nice and a welcome upgrade over the old one.
Best mall in Arizona by a mile, one of the best malls I've been to in the country.
