Attractions Shopping
Like everything in Arizona, the shopping is exquisite, and Joan takes advantage of as much as she can (possibly too much ????). The Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall is home to retailers such as Cartier, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, Prada, Neiman Marcus and Tesla. It is currently undergoing a massive renovation to its luxury wing that will elevate its shopping experience further. Scottsdale Quarter, Biltmore Fashion Park, Kierland Commons, and numerous small shops add to the shopping experience of the Phoenix metro area.
