This is my first review in a while and it pains me that I have to give my first 1-star review to…read moreThe Nest. First off, I love scary things. Scary movies, haunted houses, ghost stories, you name it, I'm all over it. I actively seek out a good scare and don't mind paying for it. Last year me and some friends took advantage of the Sunday deal and went to the Nest when it was in Avondale. It was REALLY good, and I might say that it was the best haunted house I'd been to up until then. Since it was outdoors on a huge lot, it was a lot different than most of the inside/maze houses you're used to. Tonight we drove down and I was kinda feeling the new local. The Nest is nestled in the back of Rawhide so you have to walk a little ways, but there were some photo ops/concession stands/games set up along the way. We saw the building and I was pretty excited to see what they would do with it this year. *Sidenote: there's no need to "dress up" or wear high heels to a haunted house, I promise. There were tons of girls who looked like they just came from da club* Not to ruin anything for anyone, but rather than telling the story of Jacob Kell throughout the whole thing, there were 3 "different" sections. After going through the first two, I thought "oh that was just a warm-up, they're really gonna do it big at the end". Nope. I feel that it had a lot of potential but that the actors were few and far between, there wasn't as many "cool special effects" as last year, and there wasn't really a "wow" factor. and ******SPOILER ALERT****** no chainsaw?! what haunted house doesn't have a chainsaw....c'mon Anyways, we walked out and our collective thought was "that's it?" If you're looking for a really good scare, I'd suggest looking elsewhere

I love scary things so I led the way in my group and must say I got scared a few times! I loved the costumes, the rooms, the special effects! Some of the rooms get really hot so prepare yourself for that! We went late (11:30p) so there wasn't much of a line. Well worth the $25, wonderful job on this! :-D

Oh what a way to spend Valentine's Day! Lots of laughs were had both times but Jimmy O Yang just tickles my funny bone a little more, haha! The Showroom is a great theater space inside Wild Horse Pass. There's a nice bar right outside so if you're planning to drink during the show, it's a more reasonably priced way to grab a drink. They have a bar inside The Showroom as well but get ready for the price mark-up. Bathrooms are on both levels and they both have speakers playing whatever feature is on so you don't have to worry about missing the show. No bad seats in the place so rest assured that you'll be able to find a good seat. Two thumbs up!

Staid at Gila River Resorts while in town for a conference being held at their resort. We had a…read moreroom on the top floor. The rooms were nice and clean and well maintained. The bathroom lights above the shower did not work, they would flicker then go off. The tissue box was empty at check in besides the tissue rose made on top. There were issues with the "mini bar" sensor at check in and someone had to come check on it later in the week. We didn't get service on some days of stay even with the "Service Please" Sign on the room door. The pool is open until 10pm, however the pool bar closes at 6pm and they had people exit their cabana rentals at 7pm. The drinks at the bar were severely over priced and mediocre at best. We paid $43 for 2 margaritas at the pool bar that tasted like blended water with a splash of margarita mix. The umbrellas at the pool had to be closed most of the time due to the winds, which also blew all types of debris and trash into the pools causing a bad look. One of our party was double charged at the pool bar, and they expressed that they could not reverse the charge and if they did it would take 7-10 days to return to the card, but refused to give us the extra drink because they couldn't serve more than 2 drinks within 30 minutes to the same person...even though there was 6 of us in the party and she was charged for 3 drinks, twice. Which could have been one per person in our party. The mobile bars within our evening reception drinks were higher priced in there than on the casino floor, so we all left our reception, to get drinks and come back. Drinks were on average $4-8 more than at the bar at the casino. One of the girls in our group personal cards was charged not only for the deposit amount for the stay but then the remainder of the balance for the first night and then again for the rest of her stay, causing her bank account to be nearly cleared out. In which the front desk staff told her there was nothing they could do, and that it would go back to her card Friday at the earliest (this was Tuesday). As we were there on business the rooms were prepaid with CC authorizations on file for the cost of the room rate + resort fees, so she was left with no money to pay for food or anything else for the rest of the week, and they could not provide any help and did not have any managers on property. We were able to track down a manager in a different department who was at least able to get her a food comp to pay for her meal thankfully. We were really excited to stay at Gila River, we had heard many great things about this property and were were unimpressed with the level of guest service.

So we had 200 paint balls. We did run out a bit quicker but if you don't shoot a lot your good with 200. 100 went by the first half, some went even quicker. So you get on the truck and they drive you around and you shoot zombies. They will let you know when your at your half way point and when it's the last scene to shoot zombies so you can use all your paintballs. I suggest you wear like gym shoes cause it's a rocky area. Also it's pretty dark where you walk and park. Happy there's no parking fee. There is a sign for parking.

Zombie WarZ makes sure that innocent civilians are prepped to rise to such an occasion! What a better way to keep the zombies at bay by shooting them?! Well at least, safely, with paintball guns! Often the biggest question I'm asked is: "Do you also get shot at?" Luckily, no you do not. Zombies do not shoot paintball guns so you are safe from getting hit! Instead, you ride military like vessels driving around to zombie infested areas with mounted paintball guns ready for action! Zombie WarZ is very family friendly! Our group of 30+ people had a couple kiddos and they just had a blast! Like I mentioned earlier, the paintball guns are mounted so they are safe from kids, and adults..., from shooting themselves or any humans. You can still point the guns up and down and side to side so targeting is still feasible! The front end of the truck holds 9 civilians, and the double decker trailer had the rest of our crew. Each part of the truck had a soldier helping us with ammo if needed and adjusting our guns if needed (especially if a novice like I accidentally switches the safety on and can't shoot anything).. Becky (or Becca?) our soldier was amazing! She was animated and so much fun! There were also rock tunes playing to get us in the zombie shooting mood! We definitely all enjoyed our experience immensely!

The person who scanned our tickets was friendly and she greeted us as we walked in. Once inside, we explored it all. It was a pretty busy night but we were able to see it all. The train ride was the highlight of the night and they did a great job on each theme. The ligth show was also pretty cool and unique. The snow show was a fail at 7:30pm but when we went back to a later time, it finally worked. The miniature houses were super cute and we were able to take pics with Mrs. Claus. We bought three hot chocolates and they were good. The parade was small but cute!

I made an error when purchasing tickets and reached out through their "contact us" email... and…read morereceived zero response. No customer service whatsoever. We bought VIP tickets at $80 each, and honestly, it felt like a holiday heist. Several areas were closed off with "private event" signs, including the cookie-decorating section we were looking forward to. The so-called VIP lounge is an absolute joke -- they should be embarrassed to label it as a perk. The only alcoholic option was a bizarre mix of rum, margarita mix, grenadine, and Sprite. It tasted awful, and I watched multiple people toss theirs in the trash. The only other "specialty" drink was hot chocolate spiked with peppermint schnapps. Everything else was basic and absolutely not worth the price. I've been to plenty of holiday light events for a fraction of the cost that blew this one out of the water. The only highlight of the entire experience was the Cowboy Christmas show -- a short 15-minute performance with genuinely talented, improvisational actors. Overall, I do not recommend this event. It felt like a mediocre money grab. The Pratt Brothers really lived up to their name.

The farm was easy to find and had clear signage to follow for parking. I walked around the grounds a bit and enjoyed the flowers. The salvia especially stood out as looking so healthy! And of course, the lavender - a plant I always struggle with! I stopped in the shop and picked up some lavender goodies including a blueberry lavender drink and a lavender sugar cookie. The drink is light and subtle. I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. Its also not carbonated. They had other flavors as well. The cookie is SO GOOD. Next time I'm getting 2! The shop is cute and has a lot to look at, and the woman working was friendly and helpful. There are water features and lots of seating areas around. I took my drink and cookie to a seating area and just enjoyed the scenery. I asked one of the staff members -- all really friendly and welcoming! - and yes you could bring a sandwich and enjoy it here. Make a whole meal and get a cookie! They do tours of the mansion, which looks quite impressive and I look forward to learning about its history. There are also soap and candle classes and various seasonal events. I'll definitely keep a watch on the calendar!

And they're connected to Drogba and that makes them even more appealing. This is an amazing field where the Phoenix Rising play and it's an amazing atmosphere especially in the supporters section. One of the best atmospheres in the US for soccer outside MLS and this team needs to be in MLS as soon as possible. One of my favourite things is that all the supporters in the supporters section have a strong left-wing passion and they even have a banner sign that says immigrants welcome or refugees welcome or something. Really wonderful work from all of them. And lots of hot people come here to watch games. So Phoenix isn't the only thing Rising if you know what I mean. They lost points for the recent racism scandal, though.

There are plenty of car shows that are free and include more of the type of cars that I like. Tickets for this event were close to $50 each! Luckily, I had a code for $10 off per ticket that I got from their tent where they were promoting Fuel Fest at another car show. We arrived later than I wanted to so it got dark out pretty fast. Our Uber also dropped us off at the wrong area so we had to walk around a bit to the entrance. For the people who drove and parked there, it looked like they were walking pretty far to get to their cars. Besides the car show, there was a car competition, and drifting going on when we arrived. I believe they also had drag racing, drift ride alongs, Lucha Libre wrestling and special guest appearances before that. Later on, they had a laser show by Made in Vietnam! That was cool to see! They were on for about an hour. We watched the majority of it and walked around to see the rest of the cars real quick before leaving. It was getting really cold out! The event had food trucks and drink stands. Didn't try anything but the food smelled good. The only thing needed out there that night were heaters! My hands were freezing towards the end. We left around 7ish Tip: screenshot your tickets/QR code or add to your mobile wallet ahead of time. There was little service there.
