This would typically be a 3 star review, but it gets another star for the following:
* Great air conditioning
* Arizona's only Neiman Marcus
* Hilarious people watching
* Great happy hour haunts in the basement
* Everyone here has a better tan than I do
Scottsdale Fashion Square is large and in charge and is definitely a sprawling spectacle to see at least once. There's no denying that it's a local institution -- even if the store mix is a bit too pricey and exclusive for some.
