Don't forget, we have some of the best skydiving, ultra light, and
ballooning conditions here and quite a few companies that offer tourist
packages for each. Not to mention the treasure hunting: gold, silver,
fossils, meteorites, fire agate, turquoise, etc. Oh and you got Lowell's
observatory (Discovered Pluto you know) meteor creator, the painted desert,
monument valley, the petrified forest, dinosaur tracks, all the Navajo,
Hopi, and Apache dances. The mission tours are really cool too....  And with
something like a dozen black runs, a dozen blue runs, and two dozen green
runs Sunrise offers some great skiing in the winter. As far as metro phoenix
goes, we have an outstanding zoo, an OK wild animal park, several
outstanding museums, and active music scene, several major
play/opera/symphony houses. You can see lots of imported culture, from Al
Capone mahogany bar to the London bridge here in town. And, if it is your
thing, we have several of the west costs best resort and spas. 
 
The question is, what are you into?
Art, music, history, cultural experiences, adventure, what? Do you like the
out doors? We have mountains, valleys, low desert, high plains, sun, snow,
rivers, lakes, some great star gazing, some great rock climbing, some decent
spelunking, nice fishing, a wide variety of hunting environments. 
 
Oh, and we have the best pizza place in the US is here in phoenix.
http://www.pizzeriabianco.com/  (Of course they use NY water, but that is a
different story)
 
Other then a better selection of upscale dinning, and a better selection of
low end amusement (why does roller derby suck so bad here?) we are not want
for much.
