Arizona, the only state where all the four deserts of the United States meet-up, has been called the "Miami of the West", due to its high-end properties, fancy country clubs and even luxurious spas, which can be viewed along with the beautiful landscape of the Sonoran Desert.
The Sonoran Desert, according to Asbury Park Press, is hot and dry during the early parts of summer from May to June, experiences a wet summer from July to mid-September, and later on experiences a wet winter, all in total of two rainy seasons. This causes the desert to have rich, lush vegetation and overall beautiful scenery.
One of the awesome places that vacationers can go to during the holidays in Arizona would be 'Boulders Resort and Spa'. Not only is it a good place to play golf with its two championship courses that extends 1,300 acres across the desert, this five-star resort also entices its visitors with its truly high class clubhouse facilities, incredible sights to see like magnificent rock formations and witness beautiful sunsets, and also, a unique and wonderful spa experience, which was based on Native American traditional treatments, according to City A.M.
For a place that serves great food, a restaurant in Scottsdale named 'The Mission', is a good place to dine, with its romantic gothic-themed design and hospitable staff. It is also a good place to go out with friends and have cocktails. Looking for a place where you can relive your cowboy dreams? The Buffalo Chip Saloon is a place in Scottsdale where guests can wear their cowboy/cowgirl outfits complete with hats, boots and cowboy neckwear, before going for a genuine rodeo or dance along with the rest of the people during the evening.
As for dinner, a night-out barbecue at 'Bryan's Black Mountain BBQ', which is located along the road from Buffalo Chip, would be a treat, especially if you try their seasonal specials such as frog legs and bison ribs.
