An Enchanted Setting

The magic of the desert pervades as the sun drops behind Camelback Mountain. The sky has just the right amount of clouds to capture the lingering rays of the sun, creating a pink, purple, orange, red hue against a deep blue sky. Suddenly the resort is transformed into an enchanted setting for an elegant evening under the stars.

A short twenty minute drive from Sky Harbor International Airport leads you to Millennium Resort, within three miles of downtown Scottsdale. It’s tempting to start exploring right away, but the song of serenity that surrounds the resort has a stronger draw. There will be plenty of time to go shopping during the daylight hours.

Activities

Savor the sunset while sipping a Prickly Pear Margarita poolside at the Cool Coyote Cabana Bar. This is a good time to start thinking about tomorrow’s activities. Maybe it will be golf at one of the two 18-hole championship golf courses, or perhaps some tennis or volleyball. The pool and Jacuzzi will be calling before the end of the day.

Paddle boats, canoes, kayaks and fishing are all available on Camelback Lake. The concierge can also arrange special outings that include river rafting to desert jeep tours.

Rooms

The choice of rooms can be daunting. The 125 guest rooms and suites, as well as 50 two-and-three bedroom villas all offer private patios or balconies with incredible views. All of the villas have a fireplace, spacious living areas, and a fully stocked kitchen.

Restaurants

But who wants to cook when the Piñon Grill is ready to serve. The fire-roasted chilies capture the spirit of the Southwest, subtly twisting a barbecued steak into a contemporary culinary experience. Relax and enjoy the captivating views of Camelback Lake and the McDowell Mountains while comfortably dining inside, or outdoors on the lakeside terrace.

For a more casual evening, the Diamondbacks Bar and Grill affords a lovely setting to enjoy a lighter fare for lunch or dinner.

Shopping

Scottsdale is full of specialty shops, art galleries, museums, European boutiques, and internationally known stores. The Old Town is an old-fashioned western town. Visit the Pink Pony or the Rusty Spur for an authentic experience in the Wild West. A free Downtown Scottsdale Trolley circles Old Town, stopping at the many stops every 10 minutes from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau is conveniently located and a perfect first stop.

Experience a Prickly Pear Margarita where the Prickly Pears are grown. The Millennium Resort Scottsdale McCormick Ranch is an oasis in the desert.
