It’s full-tilt summertime here in Arizona, and everyone and everything – flora, fauna, and us poor mind-cooked inhabitants – are wilting… wilting. Like, envision the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz, except instead of a house crushing her, she’s crushed under the weight of the relentless summer sun. Melodramatic, perhaps, but oh so accurate.

Accurate as 116 degrees, baby. Which, coincidentally, is what tomorrow’s high is supposed to be.

But we’re coping, we’re coping. And the hotel and resort industry in Scottsdale is helping us to cope, by kindly offering some excellent summertime deals.
