Arizona's Central Region is the home of two of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the nation, including the Phoenix and Glendale area. As a result, the area boasts luxurious resorts, from turn-of-the-century to turn-of-the-moment; excellent golf courses designed by the world's most notable golf architects, five star dining, and entertainment ranging from colorful celebrations of Arizona heritage to ballet, theatre, and opera.

Outside of city life some unique Arizona activities exist: searching for gold at the Lost Dutchman Mine, visiting the animals at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum - one of the country's finest, or star gazing - at the Old Tucson movie location and Kitt Peak National Observatory.
