Gonna have a couple days to spare. What is there other than the obvious? Restaraunts? Bar scene? Grand Canyon too far away?

If you like fountains, there is a 500foot one in fountains hills with a frosted golf course around it, you will be amazed what they can do with a frosted.

There is a cool meteor crater about 2 hours due east of Flagstaff, but I wouldn't make the trip from Scottsdale, a little too far for me. Winslow Arizona (from the Eagles song) is another hour east of the crater, it is a total dump and would avoid.

Be tough to make a day trip out of Grand Canyon.

You can probably get to south rim in 5 hours. Have a few hours to look around and then have to head back unless you could find somewhere to stay in Flagstaff. That would be a long day.
Scottsdale is sort of the "rich cowboy" part of Phoenix. Old town Scottsdale is interesting, tries to appear "old west". Good night life (Arizona State coeds, yowza!).
Just a big, old dry desert though.

Actually, if traffic is OK you can get to South Rim in 3.5.

The Grand Canyon is not too far away, but getting there and back and seeing the canyon will be a long full day. I would suggest Sadona. A lot closer and nice. Tour on the pink jeep. If you like golf (I do), Scottsdale is a golf mecca.

I haven't been there in a while, but Scottsdale was a very nice place, but I lived in Glendale....

Grand Canyon is an easy overnight trip and you can make it down to Tombstone (which is a lot of fun!) and get back in one day if you leave early.
