A Great Photo Opportunity at Montezuma’s Castle There are many travelers that ride past the Montezuma’s Castle exit. It is a pity they miss this monument, as it is spectacular. Located just five minutes from I-17, you could view the entire monument in about thirty minutes. We actually came twice: one during a rain, and once during the sunshine.…
Patio Ambiance in the Forum Shops Located at a cul-de-sac in The Forum Shops at Caesars there lies one of the busiest Cheesecakes (Waikiki may actually be busier) in their chain.

Well Worth the Short Journey Located a short ways from I-17, the Montezuma’s Well National Monument is historic to the region. A limestone sink hole spring was a valuable asset to the Sinagua Indians. The paved hike to the well is extremely short. You might have more trouble finding a parking space.

A Few Tips about Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas Located across from the Wynn Resort, walking to this mall is well worth the effort.
