    RE: Anyone on here been to Phoenix, Arizona? i bin theear..

    </p>

    Stayed in the north side Scottsdale. Late eighties. I had a good old time with a yank mate and his family. Went out to a bar in the desert... dirt street, rails to hitch your horse, a real saloon... The cactus. that's a surprise, when you first see them big cactussuseses all over the place.</p>

    Big City though and hot. It is flat and brown and hazy.... It is unique, like. I had a great time.</p>

    After a few days my mate and me drove up to Las Vegas which is only a few hours through the desert and accross the Hoover Dam. In fact if you ever go to Vegas, go to Phoenix and drive.</p>

    worth a look, I reckon..</p>

    Yes

    Wenta week in 1995. Didn't rate the city much, I was staying in the AYH which was run by a bloke from Leeds, and prior to being an AYH was a crack house where some murders had been committed. The area around where I stayed was no go at night, and I heard gunfire on two ocasions, and saw one mega police chase down the street where the hostel was, about 10 cars one after another.</p>

    The centre consisted of one long road with shops down either side, which were OK and clothes were very cheap,but there didn't seem to be much to do there. I was told that Laughlin (sp?) was a nicer place. I basically used Phoenix as a base from which to go on lots of days out, but I don't think I'd be bothered about going back.</p>
