For the people who live in Scottsdale homes and real estate there is a wealth of fun things to do and see. For example, for an overview of Scottsdale’s history, art, architecture, city offerings and desert surroundings, visitors and residents can take any number of daytime tours. If art is your passion, there are companies that specialize in customized cultural tours including art, architecture, theater, contemporary Native American art and Scottsdale fashion tours. If you’d rather, you can visit the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art or take a self-guided ArtWalk tour of Scottsdale’s Art District along Main Street and Marshall Way.
For history buffs, four-wheel-drive tours bounce you along old settlers’ trails beyond Scottsdale’s borders to see abandoned gold mines and Native American ruins. You can also learn more about Scottsdale’s history at the Scottsdale Historical Museum, which showcases the prehistory, history and cultural heritage of Scottsdale and the Southwest. 
“Foodie” tours explore old saloons, fine dining venues and decades-old restaurants such as Reata Pass and Pinnacle Peak Patio, which are both replicas of 1880s western towns with steakhouse restaurants and live music. You could take in a show at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, the Scottsdale Desert Stage Theatre, a nearby casino or at a movie theater before heading to one of Scottsdale’s more than fifty wine bars, lounges and dance clubs. If you really like to dance, try Axis/Radius and Myst, or for a more quiet evening, check out the Kazimierz world wine bar, Trader Vic’s at Hotel Valley Ho or the Living Room at the W Scottsdale. For a rip-roarin’ good time, locals love the Rusty Spur Saloon and the Handlebar J Restaurant and Saloon for Old West-style live music.
If you’re looking for something a bit more sedate, try one of Scottsdale’s coffee houses or tea rooms for an afternoon break before preparing for your evening activities. Speaking of nights on the town, be sure to start with happy hour at any of Scottsdale’s classic and/or trendy bars and colorful taverns.
