I live down in Tucson and there is much more culture and a few less degrees down here than in Phoenix. Phoenix does have a better nightlife (Martini Ranch, Rula Bula, Anderson's 5th Estate, etc). I'd steer clear of Old Town Scottsdale myself. Real touristy and drab. Scottsdale Fashion Square is a monstrosity of a mall and you could find everything you wanted there in nice, cold A/C.The summer does suck in the Arizona desert, but I usually just stay inside during the day and have fun at night.
Also, if you want to see some history, you could always head down to the State Capitol building at 1700 W Washington in Phoenix. There's a museum there and they will give you a tour of the legislature, etc. I work for the House of Rep., so I have to mention it.
Glad to hear you are visiting out fine state and hope you have fun.
