Scottsdale in May: long pool days and value rates.

May is when Scottsdale tips from spring into summer. Mornings are still pleasant, afternoons are hot, and the pool becomes the place to be. It is also when prices start to come down from the spring peak, which makes it a good month for a group on a budget.
