1.Stay close to Downtown for best value
Submitted by:an AOL User
November 18, 2009
downtown pluses: light rail, buses, walkable to just about anything you want to do in safety. Downside: cabs to anywhere else end up costing a minimum of $16.00. Three day stay made me regret not renting a car: over $150 in taxis, and I rode the bus 3 days for $10.50! Stayed in an AOL-recommended hotel in Glendale, and the bus drivers told us not to ride the bus--too many gangbangers and their ilk (McDowell, just one block north of I-10). Doesn't make you comfortable walking around. Pizza B... More

Doesn't make you comfortable walking around. Pizza Bianco is cool, but hardly worth the 2-1/2Hour wait for dinner. Good ambiance, food, people, a little crowded.

Well as being a US Airways(Formerly America West) I am very fond of Phoenix. I have been in and out of that city allmost twice a month. I have worked at the airport...wich is the cleanest. and nicest airport I have seen about 3 months in a row.
The best thing about Phoenix is the nightlife Mill Ave. Is the place to go if your a college guy or girl lookin to have some fun for the night. They have the Fat Tuesday bar My Big Fat Greek Resturant and numerous other brew pubs and resturants.
