Top Passive Leisure Spots in Phoenix

I think the buffet is worth it for dinner, but skip it for breakfast. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast selection for the price, but dinner was fantastic!

I suggest arriving around 3 PM to avoid the crowds. That way, you can enjoy more of the facilities without the noise and hustle of peak times.

If you're planning to play slots a lot, grab a Player's Club card. It gave me some nice perks and offers that really helped with costs during my visit.

I suggest heading up around sunrise or sunset for killer views. I went later in the morning and regretted not catching the golden hour—way better photo ops.

Bring plenty of water, especially if you’re hiking during midday. I thought I packed enough, but I ran out before getting back. Staying hydrated is super important!

Check the weather before you go. The day I visited it unexpectedly got windy and it was a bit chilly at the lookout. Dressing in layers saved me!

Make sure to wear good hiking shoes. I didn't and my feet were sore by the end. Having that grip makes a big difference on those rocky parts, trust me!

I suggest bringing cash for tips. Some places have a minimum for card transactions, and I run into that a couple of times. Don't get caught unprepared!

My advice is to check out their happy hour deals if you can. I saved a few bucks on drinks and it was a nice little surprise!

I think it's better to ask the staff for recommendations on cigars if you're unsure. They were super helpful and I ended up trying something fantastic.
