Major League Baseball’s All Star Game shining on Phoenix and the NFL finally returning reminds me of how great a sports town this is. Every major professional sport is represented here, from baseball’s Diamondbacks to the NBA’s Suns and NHL’s Coyotes. Not only can you catch a major sporting event year-round, the greater Phoenix area hosts world-class resorts and entertainment. It’s packed with some of the best venues for recreational sports for active folks and families. Here are just a few highly recommended resort, dining, and entertainment options to check out in one of the sunniest spots in America.

This is it, sports fans. The Big One.  The NFL is the most dominant force in entertainment and the Super Bowl is the single most watched event in the United States. If you’re a high-rolling Jetsetter actually headed to the game, congratulations, you’re in for a grand time.

At this time of the year most people are asking, “I need to start shopping for Christmas already?” Whereas, the sports fans among us are wondering, “Where has the football season gone?” Now that we’ve passed the halfway point for the NFL, you are beginning to run out of time to get to a stadium, tailgate like a pro and enjoy the insane fun of a live game.  There’s nothing quite like picking up and going to another city just to party and experience football.
