Despite the name, the location is just a short jaunt from Vegas and Phoenix. It's a good thing the folks at Del Webb built the community in the first place. The company has its share of mishaps, though. With that in mind, keeping your wits about you is best.

For starters, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor places to play. If your fancy is refined, consider looking into some of the surrounding cities. Among them, Scottsdale is only about 20 minutes away, and Mesa is a stone's throw from downtown Phoenix. So, whether you're a resident or a visitor, you'll always be close to a quality meal, an ounce of whiskey, and a nice warm shower.
