I never thought I would give a 5-up for a mall, but I miss this fashion mall, I really do.

First, I parked in this swanky underground parking area, which took me directly to the part of the mall with the Barney's and (when I came) the soon-to-be H&M.  Damn I wish I didn't miss that H&M, cos i really did not feel like spending $300 for a shirt at Barney's.  

Anyway, lots of restaurants and the swankier shops, this is the place to check out some top-tottie as well.  Big spender me, I had an espresso at the Nordstom's coffee shop.  Still, I had a good time at this mall and Christmas shopping just ain't the same at some junky old lame-ass mall, this is one you can really have a bash in.  I also liked walking around the 'canal' area nearby, and frankly the whole area has a 'ritzy' feel to it, which was quite unexpected after visiting some other shopping fiascos in the Phoenix area.

Scottsdale Fashion Square is the king of shopping centers in Arizona. It's unrivaled and it maintains it's crown through constant improvements, expansions, and new stores. Empty stores are rare. Try that on for size, PV mall.

The food court is decent, but a wide variety of restaurants surround the mall, providing the shopper with an endless amount of stores, and a great selection of places to eat. Scottsdale Fashion Square aims to please the most critical, and goes above and beyond all expectations.

Oh my WOW!

My friend and I dropped by to check out the new wing at the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall yesterday, and lemme tell ya, its a big 10 in my book. It is beautifully! I thought for sure security was going to kick me out for looking a bit less than perfect, as everything and everyone else looked amazing.

There are three new restaurants that have opened. Modern Steak (Sam Fox ) and Mercella's(sp) and Fred's (inside Barney New York). I have yet to dine in any of them, but I will be sure to review accordingly when I do.

As for the shopping part, Forever 21 is huge, we needed one on this side of town for sure! There is also a True Religion, H&M, and a Christian Audiere there by Barney's. The outside of the mall looks spectacular as well. I guess Scottsdale is movin on up in the world, with a Barney's New York no doubt. Valet anywhere you need it, self parking is easy as well. A true mecca of shopping! :-) Now all I need is an abundance of money and all will be well.

You must check it out.

HUGE! There seems to be a lot of traffic. The only thing is that it smells terrible right outside near the starbucks and trolley stop. This place has tons of stores and 3 floors! There are lots of food choices in the food court. It is definitely on the higher end for pricing.

This one is okay, I guess. The restaurants are decent (in addition to the food court) and the store selection is one of the best.
There are a lot of stores here ranging from above-average (Everything but Water) to high-end (Gucci) but this is by no means the best mall I've ever been to and I don't see why everyone raves about it so much. The place is full of female shoppers - find me a ladies' room. Oh, you can't seem to find one? Over 200 places to swipe your worn-down credit cards while spending your (spouse's) hard-earned cash and the only bathroom I could find was tucked waaaay back in the corner in Nordstrom. I have heard there are more places to loo, but... where?

This mall is the best one in Phoenix. There are lots and lots of people here on the weekend. And trying to find parking took about half an hour because we got "lucky". I say lucky in quotes because we were going to give up and was already heading out of the lot.

You will definitely be able to find anything you want in this mall. The layout can be a bit confusing because of the half levels or whatever they are called. Also, if you are not interested in the food court for a meal, there's so many eateries around the mall.

I remember this mall in the 70's when it was 2 separate OUTDOOR malls anchored by "Diamonds" & "Goldwaters"...and I think "Saks 5th Avenue" at Camelview Plaza...whoa! That was like 30 years ago...

Fast forward now to this MEGA-UPSCALE shopping metropolis! It's kinda refreshing to see shoppers all dressed up for shopping...go to any other mall and people are dressed in t-shirts/shorts and flip-flops...not here!

This mall has all the upscale chain stores you can think of...if you are on the hunt for bargains, you won't find too many here. If you are seeking name brands or designer duds, then you've come to the right place!

I like the kid's play area (near Nordstrom's).  It's so nice, I actually thought there was a fee to go in..(there isn't...it's just that nice!) They have actual playhouses-Pirate Ship, Cottage, Castle with slide, and a Tree House. There are clean restrooms available towards the back too.

Be sure to visit Urban Outfitters or Borders at the Scottsdale Waterfront....just exit from Nordstrom's and cross Market street. More places to visit!

So much to see here at Scottsdale Fashion Square, be sure to wear comfy shoes (leave the Jimmy Choos at home)...

Fashion Square is fun for so many different reasons.  Its a huge, well kept mall with tons and tons and tons of shopping!  Plus, the people watching here is one of a kind!  I am normally not a mall person, but this place is a must see and a full exception to my anti mall atttitude.

This mall is very high end.  Tiffanys, future home of Barneys, and everything else under the sun.  I know several people who consider this a destination spot when they come out to visit because of the draw that it has.  They even have Valet!  woohoo.

Anyways, great place to bring your parents, out of town guests, dates, friends and anything in between.  The mall has several amazing resturants inside and out, and a great place to get drinks as well.  This place is bomb diggty!  You cant go wrong with this!  Fail free zone!

Phoenix is the answer for people who want Southern California quality of life but without all that water.  The entire metro is designed to replicate all  of Southern California's sprawly spirit.  Scottsdale is its Beverly Hills.  After being in this mall, I started to feel pity at the platinum set that they can only spend their hard-earned Calpers pension here on this Westfield West Covina-East mall.

Oh sure, they have the now-requisite jumble of high end retailers that you can find in the Cabazon outlets.  But that's all boring now.  Louis Vuitton is soooo 2004.  Once it strikes you that there are no interesting retailers here, you are left to do nothing but look straight up and marvel at the incredibly stupid enormous glass skylight that cover the mall.  

That's right, in eleventy!11 billion degree weather, the mall is covered entirely in skylight.  I gawked for 5 minutes just looking up and wondering at the stupidity of it all.  How SoCal they think it must be to tear of the roof in bask in natural desert sunlight in August.  Lest you think this is a good idea because it saves on electricity.  You could freeze Iceman to death at the strength of the air conditioning here.

After hearing from a friend that they were having their 70 percent off sale I took a break from my job in the mall to do a little shopping... I ended up in the men's shoes department where I was greated promptly and was happy to find a nice shoe selection.
Much better than the other department stores in the mall. Dillards is the men's department store.
After spending more than my 10min break i left with 5 new pairs of shoes for less than $150. brands like puma, Calvin Klein, and Ed hardy. i gave one of the associates my business card so he can let me know when the next mark down of shoes hits the sales floor.

* this sale is still going on and fashion square has a bigger selection so it is worth the drive. I know us guys like to save some money too so i will do by best to keep you all posted on a good sale*

Reading the awesome Lisa C.'s reviews from her recent trip to AZ has inspired me to review what I think might be the country's most hedonistically comprehensive shopping mall, Fashion Square in Scottsdale.*

This mall is floor after floor of retail therapy just waiting to drain your wallet and sense of social responsibility.  With everything from Abercrombie to Williams-Sonoma, both the lower-end as well as ultra-spendy-designers are represented at FS Scottsdale.

Jimmy Choo, countered by Wet Seal
Gucci, countered by Hot Topic
Louis Vuitton, countered by Limited
Carolina Herrera, countered by Charlotte Russe
Cartier, countered by Sunglass Hut
Kate Spade, countered by Claire's

Fashion Square also boasts five, yes FIVE department stores:
Nordstrom
Macy's
Dillard's
Neiman Marcus
Barney's (opening Summer/Fall 2009)

My personal favorites:
Everything But Water.
Hands-down the most fabulous swimwear store I have had the pleasure of feeling physically inadequate in.  Everything from the fashion-only to the practical tankini.

Electric Ladyland.
This is where the Rock of Love set shops.  Everything rhinestones and glitter, skull-and-bones and rocker-cutesiness, utilizing the bare minimum of actual fabric.  I love coming here and endlessly fingerfucking the insanely marked-up merchandise.

For Love 21.
The accessories branch of the "Forever 21" chain.  You can find some pretty good fashion jewelry here.  Cheap.  Really cheap.  So when you lose your earring on the floor of some stranger's soundproofed, shag-carpeted van after partying it up in Old Town...you'll still have money leftover to fill your antibiotic prescription.

BONUS!
Best Game to Play at Fashion Square Scottsdale:  "Which one is the mom?"  Think carefully before you decide.  The amount of sun, regional interpretations of age-appropriate fashion, and disproportionate amount of plastic surgery can make this trickier than you think.

--------------
*This does not extend to their strangely incongruous food court.  Sbarro and Panda Express?  Shame on you, Fashion Square!

This mall epitomizes what's right and wrong about Scottsdale.
Want high end boutiques? They've got them. Want enough shoe stores to put shoes on those people you see on TV commercials for people in Africa who can't afford shoes without even putting a dent in their stock? No problem.  Want enough bling to accessorize the entire NBA  and a few rappers? Ha! easy!

But it's not about the stores.  That may sound odd - it is a mall afterall. It's about the experience.  This is the best people watching spot in all of Scottsdale.  This is where the beautiful people shop.  This is where the hottie that you saw in a Scottsdale club last Saturday night comes to shop. You'll be amazed at how people avoid eye contact and spend an inordinate amount of time staring at their cell phone as they walk, maybe hoping you'll text them?

The only thing I don't understand about this mall is the food court.  Given the clientele wouldn't you think they can do better than Johnny Rockets?

For the directionally challenged this mall is your worst nightmare.  It has floors and half floors that go this way and that way.  If I ever go here alone I'll have to leave bread crumbs to find my way out to the parking garage.  By the way, I think you need to show up here about an hour before the mall opens to actually find a parking spot in the garage.  And the people that do find a spot never leave.

I made the mistake of leaving this mall and going to Paradise Valley Mall. What a contrast. While Scottsdale Fashion Square has the beautiful people wearing the latest in daytime warm weather garb, Paradise Valley Mall has people wearing denim and tshirts and *gasp* they have children!  By the way, the rumors that the town of Paradise Valley wants this mall renamed to Phoenix Mall aren't true -are they?

But I digress, you must go to to Scottsdale Fashion Square.  It's big, it's bright, it's crowded, it's air conditioned and you'll see the latest fashions in the store and on the backs and feet of the shoppers.

Just don't wear denim and a tshirt.

If you cant find it at Fashion Square it probably doesn't exists! After traveling to new york so many people asked if we went to time square and our answer was " why would we? everything there is at fashion square a minute from where we live" The fact that so many people travel to time square for the shopping and pretty much all of it is located in fashion square says alot.!!

Even if you cant afford the 18000 purse at Burberry( ueah $18000)  or the $6000 stunning floral dress at Gucci, or the awesome bag at Louie Vuitton, they still have all the standard stores any mall would like wet seal , finish line holliter and pac sun.

The only complaint is that it is very big and weird levels can make it sometimes difficult to find you way around.

The only thing that I could truly say bad is The Grand Lux cafe is something that should have not been put in there. Blah food.

I had heard about the beauty of this mall even before I moved to Phoenix- I was speaking w/ a manager at one of the stores in Illinois' Schaumburg mall (which is quite pretty and spacious, filled w/ plush furniture) when I mentioned I was moving to the valley (back in '03).  She told me that I had to visit Scottsdale Fashion Square (she had just arrived back from training there), and that I was in for a treat!  

I do like walking through the mall- so many unique shops!  I sometimes catch advanced screenings at Harkins Fashion 7 (located next to the food court).  I especially love the water fountain staircase (see photo above).  I recently discovered that the Nordstorm Cafe here is different from that in Chandler Fashion Center- it serves pizza, sandwiches, and pastas, as well!  The heady aromas perfuming the air drove me crazy w/ hunger... I'm definitely going to have to dine here soon!

I used to work in the business suites in this center, so let me start by giving a very honest review:

The food court leaves much to be desired.

The stores are marked up for the location.

And it's hell to find parking in this place.

Yes you can find your fancy heels, and all the name brand whatever label you have to tag yourself with, but it's not for the average every day joe.

On the weekends you will find tons of kids running around this place trying to be cool and trendy. If you want Old Town Scottsdale, stick to Scottsdale Rd. The mall is *meh* if you ask me.

Fashion square is a decent mall... good location, great atmosphere, and a good variety of stores...

however, as at any other mall, there is an influx of 'mallspawns' which tend to make the experience a bit less enjoyable...

On the brighter side, we've developed a fun little game of 'Real or Not' for fishing out the fake boobs compared to the real ones... makes for an interesting afternoon...

Another plus for Fashion Square is that it's where they filmed the movie 'Bad Santa', so that bumps it up to its third star

This is a really nice mall.  They have all the high end stores like Gucci, LV, Tiffany and they are even opening a Barney's NY in about 10 months.  Just walking into the mall it seems like this was a destination mall.  With 5 large restaurants with open seating, there were tons of people enjoying their libations and the weather.  Although we didn't have time to walk through out the whole mall, you can tell this was THE mall in the area.

I would have given this place 5 stars however there were A LOT of middle school kids running around everywhere screaming and being obnoxious!

Fashion Square is one of the few good malls in the greater Phoenix area. It has a full range of stores to accomodate any wallet-- from Wet Seal to Gucci, Dillards to Neiman Marcus they have it all here. Parking can be a pain and the food court sucks, but really.. who comes to a mall to eat when there are purses to adore at Louis Vuitton? Don't forget about Urban Outfitters across the street!

Oh yeah, and Barney's NY is coming later this year! *squeal!*

Once again, for my San Jose friends reading this, the Scottsdale Fashion Square is the equivalent of Valley Fair in Santa Clara.  It is a really nice mall with lots of high end stores just like Valley Fair......All the big anchor stores, Macy's, Nordstroms, and Dillard's are here.  They have MAC, Sephora, Aveda, and The Disney Store.  Then they have Louis Vittoun, Coach, Betsy Johnson, and Jimmy Choo.  But when I walk through Valley Fair I don't feel like I'm being looked down on....when I walk through Scottsdale Fashion Square, wow.....where did these people come from?  They are all skinny and blond and stuck up.  Now, I did not get that feeling in the shops I was in.....Sephora was about to close but I was not rushed at all and treated very nicely.  I made my purchase and chatted with the sales person for a few minutes before we left.  I guess it's just the clientle......and that would explain why there is no Lane Bryant store here.  I guess there are no big, beautiful women in Scottsdale.  HA!  

This won't stop me from going to this mall.  It's a nice mall that reminds me of home.  They are doing some remodeling too.  The food court is not that great for such an upscale mall though.  I don't know if the food court is in the remodel plan or not but it might be a good idea.  There are also some nice theaters attached to the mall so that's a plus in the HOT summer here.  A movie and the mall....what more could you ask for on a HOT day?

This is a great mall. To me, it is metro Phoenix's version of South Coast Plaza in Orange County, CA., or Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, HI. It is a sprawling mall - and one section (area) was a 1/2 flight down which was sorta odd to me, but Juicy Couture & Marciano beckoned.

Having been to SFS only a handful of times when visiting Scottsdale, it can get confusing if you're not paying attention to the layout. But then again, the variety of retail establishments doesn't disappoint even if you're on vacation. The parking situation can get quite snarled like the 405 Fwy. in So. California (esp. during the holidays), but otherwise, the "parking fairy" is always at the parking structure at the Nordstorm end - we always find a spot. Or there is valet parking.

As other reviewers have mentioned, SFS brings out a good cross section of the Phoenix metro population (from spoiled teenagers, fashionistas, the Cindy McCain-esque ladies-who-lunch crowd, the average Joe, etc.) and it is fun to notice. In a way, it's no different from South Coast Plaza. I like the proximity of the mall to the Waterfront and the restaurants there - my friends & I usually have a bite to eat/ have drinks before shopping or vice versa. After all, we're on vacation.

I cannot stand this mall. They have some really awesome stores but the people who work in them are obnoxious. Most of the people walking around are snooty as can be, and everything is overpriced.

The food court has some good selection, but is always super crowded and you can rarely find anywhere to sit.

Parking is awful.

The one thing I miss about living in AZ is this mall and Peter Harden, the Roving Concierge, he is the man. He walks with all of the famous celebs, know everything about the mall and can help you. I use to work at this mall and one year I dressed up as Peter for Halloween. Those were the days.

This mall has many high end stores such as Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Hugo Boss, Neiman Marcus just to name a few.

The food court has eateries such as Paradise Bakery, Johnny Rockets, Great Steak Escape, La Madeline, Marble Slap Cremery etc.

This mall has valet outside of the outdoors Starbucks .

Other departments stores include, Dillards, Macys, and Robinsons-May...

The mall is huge so have fun

Fashion Square is quite the success story. I don't actually know the entire story, but I know it's a success. It has done an amazing job of growing up with the surrounding area - eating up nearby shopping plazas and parking lots and expanding into the Mall of America of the South West.

It's really difficult to shit on this mall. It has everything a mall can offer and then some. There's not much to dislike. It manages to strike a balance between posh and down to earth that isn't terribly off-putting for the working class, but rest assured it's definitely heading towards being too high-end and exclusive. To top it off, this place isn't overrun by children. You know you're doing something right when you're a tourist destination. Considering the humble beginnings, this is quite an accomplishment.

My personal favorite part about this mall is that it's close to me. I also like the layout - even though it's massive, it's easy to navigate. The parking is pretty accommodating considering how much it has grown over the years. I've only had trouble on Black Friday or special events. Speaking of which, even though this place is a shopper's paradise, I seldom find anything to buy when searching for gifts. Maybe I'm cheap.

The restaurants here are great and even the inside food court has some choice spots. Much more interesting than the typical Taco Bell and McDonalds unhealthy choices offered at most malls. Nearby, the full restaurants offer great near-fine dining at mid-scale pricing. Z Tejas being a personal favorite (to the dismay of my waistline).

This mall attracts a deep pocket high-society crowd as well as pretenders. Some might find it irritating while others may appreciate the people-watching factor. Fashion Square continues to expand and deliver one of the best shopping experiences available. Its ability to stay relevant and modern over the years should keep it around for another 50 years. At this rate, by 2020, all of downtown Scottsdale should be part of the mall. Another 10 years after that and my house will be a Hollister.

Lovely mall. Clean layout, huge bottom level devoted to food court and theatre. Wasn't packed on Saturday morning.

No H&M though. Not yet anyway, I hear it's pickin up. People are more approachable here (employees & consumers) rather than South Coast Plaza in CA.

Great place to spend a HOT HOT Phoenix day...

And as always, such a scene...

This is a gigantic place with absolutely beautiful stores.  We went on a 113 degree Sunday so we knew it would be busy but since it is so big, the people have lots of room to roam.  Great people watching and window shopping for those of us without that 6th or 7th figure in the income.  When I win the lotto, this will be one of my first stops and until then, I will keep drooling over those Betsy Johnson pumps.

Happy shopping!

One of the better shopping malls in the valley, though parking can be frustrating at times.  There are far more of the atypical shops here than in other malls, especially higher end jewerly (watches), department stores, and home essentials.  Decent restaurant selection is here as well.

Okay, so I'm a mall person.  I come from a family of born shoppers, and all of my frineds are shoppers too.  My boyfriend...he is not a shopper, which is nice, b/c one of has to save.

Scottsdale Fashion Square is pretty close to retail heaven, in AZ.  I love upsacle malls, and have been to South Coast Plaza (Santa Ana, CA), Cherry Creek Mall (Denver, CO), and The Galleria (Dallas, TX).

At Fashion Sqaure, one can find all the luxuary essentails: Burberry, Chanel (via Neiman Marcus), Cartier, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera, Tiffany, Jimmy Choo, and more.  there are also department stores like Nordstom, Neiman Marcus, Dillard's and Macy's.

Comming soon: Barney's New York!  Can I get a Wahoo?

Aside from luxury and botique stores, Fashion Square has all the regulars we all love, like Express, Gap, Aldo, Abercrombie and Fitch, etc.

So, when you're in the Phoenix area and need to shop, get yourself down to Fashion Square in Scottsdale.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to lie to you about Fashion Square, in my opinion  it could be extremely better if they'd lose some of these so-so stores and brought in a few more classier ones to replace them, and I'm not even a snob.

I've never been so confused in my life, this mall could use a great deal of rearrangement, who puts a Gucci next to a J.Jill anyway?! And the restaurants within the mall that are less than appetizing (alcohol consumption may alter your opinion), you're better off eating at the food court, you'll save money and get something a lot better!

Yeah this place does make a for a great heat shield during the summer months, but it can get very crowded and most of the stores are still abysmal. But I'm guessing its one of the few places that houses some of the fancy stores in Arizona and should at least be given credit for that.

High end for high maintenance. If you're looking to make a serious crack in your credit card I'd suggest taking it here. The decor is very nice, the people not so much. If you don't look like you belong, i.e. having white straw bleached fake blond hair and a faux tan then you'll probably get snubbed by at least one of the other shoppers or a store clerk. Not really my style, but 3 stars for the nice building and fixtures.

I killed some time here last night.  It's a typical mall, but it does have some higher end stores like Louis Vuitton and it's clean, open, and light.  My favorite store,Tourneau the watch store; love watches!

There are many! places to eat outside of the mall and most looked newer and fun with plenty of outdoor seating.  Also Sprinkles cupcakes is only one block away :)  Of course I had to stop there.  There is a Starbucks but it's kind of hidden outside near the valet area (better ask where it is).

I like this mall only for the FEW shops that aren't anywhere else in Arizona. But I hate the mall for the snobby people that fill it up. Get over yourself you are at a damn mall !!!!

Oh my.....after not having been to a mall for two years, this was an orgiastic feast of consumer gluttony.  Started at the Nordstroms for the post-Xmas mens sale, shoulder to shoulder with the most glamorous men in all of AZ.  Next, sauntered the halls with the teens and tweens packed 10 deep to check out the more affordable chains (Banana, Structure) and spent 15 minutes waiting in line to check out just to pay for the privilege.  Exhausted after covering every store in this multilayered sugarfest, but exhilerated after seeing so many beautiful 50 year old women looking like the 60 year old version of Cindy McCain (which I think was how she looked at 80, right?  kinda 30ish).  Finally, waiting 30 minutes to get out of parking after stuffing my 30 lbs of semi-fine threads in the trunk.   Oh if only I lived in the land of endless suburbs....

OK, so I am a small town girl, and everytime I come to Phoenix I always HAVE to come to this mall. I am originally from Phoenix and wow is this place GREAT. Very high-end shopping but there are afforable stores here as well. You could spend an entire day in here and not have shopped everywhere. Not that I could afford it though- bring your credit cards or sugar daddy because you will need it in this tempting place. What can I say, the place is fab. The people are hotties, the stores are amazing, and the atmosphere is exhilarating. GO HERE!!

I love you, I hate you...

Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall pretty much embodies everything that is wrong with the world. It's a flashy, pretentious, over-priced suburban hell hole that encourages vapid shallow  people to waste their hard earned money on useless crap they don't need.  Ugly clothes created for unimaginative people hang like uniforms in store windows. Gucci and Louis Vuitton encourage 30k millionaires to max out thier credit cards, ironically, on a wallet. The food court is overflowing with spoiled 12 year old girls in slutty Victoria Secret "Pink" shorts, $1,000 handbags and way too much eyeliner.

So... I pretty much love this place. In all seriousness I will probably be there tomorrow, so meet me by the Louboutins on the first floor of Neiman's. Bring your Amex.... but only if it's black!

Oh my goodness.  I think I drool everytime I go into this mall.  I'm not a mall girl by any means, I much prefer independent boutiques for my shopping.  My hometown is home to the biggest mall east of the Mississippi (Palisades Center in NY) and I lived down the street from the Copley Mall in Boston for 6 years.  The Scottsdale Fashion Square blows them both away.

If you can't find what you're looking for there it probably doesn't exist.  It has everything you could want from your standard mall like the Gap to luxury flagship stores like Louis Vuitton to wonderful department stores like Nordstrom.  Its big, its clean, and it never feels crowded.  There are a ton of restaurant options which is nice because the food court is rather meager.  

There is a ton of free parking which is fantastic; I'm used to paying $8 to park at Copley.  The layout of the mall is a bit odd and we definitely had to wander around a bit to find where we parked our car.  I have to say that I didn't feel that I needed to dress up there at all, but even if you do feel the need its on par with other huge shopping centers elsewhere.  (South Coast Plaza in the OC, Copley or Newbury in Boston...)  

This very well may be the first mall I start to frequent regularly.

wow I wish this mall was in CA.  they have so many of my favorite stores plus the great department stores: Nordstroms, Macys, Dillards.  Although it can be a little confusing, this being my second time visiting scottsdale I felt less lost while wandering all the different levels and wings of the mall.  it is a pretty upscale feeling mall even has a tiffany's.  I think my fiance wished they had more seating areas since he was waiting for me a lot at all the different stores :)

This would typically be a 3 star review, but it gets another star for the following:

* Great air conditioning
* Arizona's only Neiman Marcus
* Hilarious people watching
* Great happy hour haunts in the basement
* Everyone here has a better tan than I do  

Scottsdale Fashion Square is large and in charge and is definitely a sprawling spectacle to see at least once.   There's no denying that it's a local institution -- even if the store mix is a bit too pricey and exclusive for some.
