SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (April 24, 2024) – In the words of a 2002 Grammy Award-winning hit, “it's getting hot in here.” While some may shy away from the impending triple-digit heat, in Scottsdale, the sizzling temperatures are celebrated, knowing that as the mercury rises, resort prices drop. Translation: more poolside cocktails, more sumptuous spa treatments, and more culinary adventures – at a fraction of peak season prices. With resort rates starting at $119 per night and ItsThatHot.com to guide travelers, it's time to book a summer getaway to Scottsdale.
