One of my favorite places because they host so many events that I enjoy.
Barrett Jackson Auto Auction
Arabian Horse Show
Parada Del Sol Rodeo
Good Guys Car Show
However, it's not an ideal place for large events. The parking is atrocious. Anybody who's made the trek to one of these events knows what I'm talking about. The lots are dusty, dirt lots and oftentimes there's no organization in the lots....you're left to fend for yourself where to park. Plus the walk to/from the parking lots is far.
Also, traffic flow is awful. You have to dodge cars between ropes with flags that delineate the lanes of traffic and pedestrian walkways....not really safe.
The bathroom situation here is really bad too. There are too few permanent restroom facilities. Certainly not enough to accommodate the huge events they host here. The restrooms are like the public park restrooms you see around town....small, concrete structures with a handful of stalls. Instead, you have to use port-a-potty's....which are nasty.
Overall, there are some great events here and in my opinion, the city should put some money into making this a top notch facility for attendees of these events. However, I just read an article in AZ Central that said Westworld will lose $3 mil in 2014, so I'm not sure any of this is possible.

Return Factor - 100% (because I enjoy the events that much)
