Closest Tempe Outdoor Mall Great Atmosphere
This is a nice close outdoor mall with several decent restaurants and shopping. Nicer than most but just under upscale. Try the Thirsty Lion for gastropub scene or nearby sushi or pizza or many more options while you browse the stores.

This is where all the Sports complexes, theatre and concert venues happen. If you have a specific event scheduled it may be here. Not good at night unless you know where you are going and use a safe well lighted parking garage. Daytime not an issue.

Outlet Stores next to this place! and the casino is the Best in the entire area. Its a bit more upscale than most casinos. Check the showroom for concerts and events when you are in town. Its not too far to drive if you have the time and looking for nightlife or shopping in the day. Talking Stick Casino in Scottsdale is closer a bit if looking for a casino upscale level $.
