As a North Scottsdale Native and Realtor…This video made me so happy! Nicely done. My office is at the Scottsdale Quarter. I feel spoiled there with all the restaurants, Westin and AC Hotel, + shops. Come back! There is even more to enjoy. 😊
Such a great video so far, the hotel looks amazing, and dadcations onion patty melt made my stomach growl. This video definitely makes me want to visit.
Went to Scottsdale for a work conference in April. DT Old Scottsdale is beautiful! Very upscale, lots of beautiful people. Enjoyed my time, I definitely want to go back!
Dang, we have avoided Scottsdale for YEARS because for us locals. It didn’t offer anything new. Your video showed me Scottsdale still has some things to see. Thank you 😊
Hi Jay, We live in Cave Creek, AZ (just 14 miles north of the AC Hotel) We have stayed there at the AC Hotel quite a few times. We enjoy staycations that are close to us. We have eaten at all of the restaurants you mentioned and have played golf at The Kierland golf course. So glad you got to visit our fine area. I enjoy your vlogs. Keep it up!!
@@Jaycation Melrose district is very nice for bar goers of the LGBT community, but they are friendly to all. Old Town Scottsdale is very nice for the same reason, and is extremely diverse with some pretty nice historic areas.
Wow, Scottsdale has changed so much. When I was a kid in the 70s we lived in the southern end closer to Paradise Valley. Back then the area was just lots of dirt and some homes. It's remarkable how the area looks now.
Great video. This is my first video of yours I’ve seen. 44 year resident of AZ IN the Phoenix area. If you chose to come back, I’d love to share with you so many other incredible restaurants and highlights!!
Very cool video Jaycation! I've lived here for 25 years and absolutely love it. I've seen this area when it was just nothing but desert. I live near Tom Thumb hiking and was surprised to see it in this video.. Loved the video!
Let’s be honest the only things you can do in AZ is golf and walk the trails. If you like doing that you’ll love it here. If you want to do something else or you enjoy the nightlife you will never find that here. The only noteworthy restaurant is culinary dropout and some steak places that have really steep prices. By steep I mean that even when I just go there to eat dessert and a drink I am spending almost $100. There’s nothing to do here and the only time you can come is between October - April. I do like to clarify because most people are mislead when they see videos like these.
A good calzone is something I haven’t had in awhile and I was reminded of it with those deep dish pizzas you ordered. The skirt steak salad of sorts you ordered look good too. This was an entertaining vlog of yours to watch. It’s enjoyable to see you go out to eat and see those dishes!
Old Town is definitely more trendy. More walkable, has all the shopping plus the more local shops, art, bars and clubs. Kierland/Scottsdale Quarter is where families would probably have a better chill time tho.
orange blossom beer is BOMB! But I havent found one as good as Oak Creek Canyon Brewery. and it smelled just like smelling a blossom off the tree and tasted just as grand. I miss it.
I live in Scottsdale and i would not recommend visiting during the summer. It gets pretty warm at 110+, The best time to visit Scottsdale is between Oct - April
First time watching your videos, loved it . Thank you for all the good info. I live in Scottsdale, but couple places you mentioned I had no idea they are there. I also subscribed. 😊
You're pretty much right in my backyard in this video. I only live 5 miles west of Kierland, in a neighborhood that is decidedly less trendy. LOL. Lou Malnatis is really good. For a place as nice and upscale as it is, the prices there are surprisingly reasonable.
I used to ride my bike all around that area before all that was built in the 90's. they did an excellent job. But if you really want trendy scottsdale check out DC ranch Silverleaf horseshoe canyon. Good luck getting in
My family from San Diego came over to visit us in Phoenix and we took them to Fashion Square mall and my 16 year old step sister said, "It looks just like the Plaza Bonita mall!" My dad straight up smacked her in the head LOL Such a blasphemous statement hahahaha!
Damn that hotel looks awesome. My wife keeps trying to get me to book a hotel here but I always feel it's a waste of money since we live here. One day maybe. Glad you had fun out here with dadcation =)
Ehhhh, you did it easy, and didnt really go out and dig deep for some of the real treasures. But it is good for people from other places to come visit and see and eat things that are concentrated in one area. Second time around will be better I hope..
I've said it once, i'll say it again: Scottsdale does hospitality as good as ANYONE.
Great city to visit for sure, lots of good eats and things to do!
hands down the best AC hotel commercial I've ever seen
Thanks for coming to visit our fabulous town, we hope you come back!!
Thanks Brandon! Had a great time
Oh wow the spinach appetizer looked good. 🤤
Ayyye Dadcation!!
dude waaay better than giordanos haha

Fun place, clean and warm, great stores and restaurants. Bring money.
I’m all about the seltzers! So many great spots there. Scottsdale is on my bucket list! -S
nice! another seltzer fan!
Nice Dadcation sighting. The views on this one are heading up ☝️ 👍👍👍😄
Dadcation cameo as well as Clark!
Love Arizona definitely worth a trip.
Love trips to AZ! Especially in the spring
Great work on these vids! I've lived here for 15 years and its grown and changed so much. Originally from Hawaii but this has become home!
Such a great video so far, the hotel looks amazing, and dadcations onion patty melt made my stomach growl. This video definitely makes me want to visit.
thanks man! yeah always fun to have dadcation on
Thanks for video Jaycation 👍
DeeAre my dude! whats up
Alot of people from Wisconsin live here too. All this food got me hungry as hell lol.
Great video Jay!

Absolutely love travelling through your vlog.
I appreciate that! Much love
Thanks Jay, I visited Scottsdale in 2018, and I really enjoyed it there.
oh nice Neil! youve been there!
@@Jaycation yeah, I visited Scottsdale in 2018.

Thank you for watching Sally! I'm glad to have featured North Scottsdale an area that isnt featured as much on other videos
Always great videos
Thanks! Means a lot
I like five minutes from Scottsdale. It can be expensive, but for the average goer, it is a good time and has lots to offer.
Nice! What areas do you enjoy where u live?

Nice! Thanks for watching. I really wanted to highlight a lot of what north scottsdale has to offer
Another really really great video. I have never been there but sure would love to get there someday. Thank you again and keep traveling.

Awesome places! My cousin is going to have her bachelorette party there. I’ll tell Judy!

Awesome job jay thumb upp my partern
Thanks partna!
No problem pattern.
Thanks for the video.I t looks like a fun place to visit for good food and drink and a little golf.
yeah nice spring destination!
Long time Scottsdale resident and it is nice however, still think Old Town maybe the trendiest area still.
Old Town is definitely more trendy. More walkable, has all the shopping plus the more local shops, art, bars and clubs. Kierland/Scottsdale Quarter is where families would probably have a better chill time tho.
@13:03 Remember Jay, never tee off with a Nine-Iron. LOL! Great video, BTW.
haha i just went with what i was told to use
I’ve eaten the Korean skirt steak dinner & it was delectable 🤌🏼
Just 10 miles south is where I live in Tempe! Yeah! Jaycations #1 fan>Cej!
thats awesome craig!
orange blossom beer is BOMB! But I havent found one as good as Oak Creek Canyon Brewery. and it smelled just like smelling a blossom off the tree and tasted just as grand. I miss it.
Orange Blossom beer was so tasty and loved the smell of the actual blossoms
I love this vlog! Scottsdale is on my places to visit this summer! I also love seltzers!
I live in Scottsdale and i would not recommend visiting during the summer. It gets pretty warm at 110+, The best time to visit Scottsdale is between Oct - April
Seltzers are fun!
First time watching your videos, loved it . Thank you for all the good info. I live in Scottsdale, but couple places you mentioned I had no idea they are there. I also subscribed. 😊
Thanks for the support Faith! Glad u discovered a few new spots!
I used to always get my car washed at that gas station, but never tried the BBQ, what a shame since it was tasty haha. Nice video!
wow u mustve lived close by!
I spend winters in Scottsdale. I have place in old town. Scottsdale is the best
Thats great! I really want to go back and film a video on Old Town.
You're pretty much right in my backyard in this video. I only live 5 miles west of Kierland, in a neighborhood that is decidedly less trendy. LOL. Lou Malnatis is really good. For a place as nice and upscale as it is, the prices there are surprisingly reasonable.
My first time watching u, in north Scottsdale u need to try True Food kitchen restaurant, u will love it! Thx!
I used to ride my bike all around that area before all that was built in the 90's. they did an excellent job. But if you really want trendy scottsdale check out DC ranch Silverleaf horseshoe canyon. Good luck getting in
Say hi to Norma for me !
Will do Marty!
I love Scottsdale
Same!
I live in North Scottsdale not far from the Quarters so I had to see what THIS was about.
If you like OSHO you would like State 48 it’s also a brewery
My family from San Diego came over to visit us in Phoenix and we took them to Fashion Square mall and my 16 year old step sister said, "It looks just like the Plaza Bonita mall!" My dad straight up smacked her in the head LOL Such a blasphemous statement hahahaha!
The AC hotel! If you can't afford to stay at Westin! Stay here!
Great places to stay!
Jay! Why! When I was in Vegas u were in AZ! Haha looking great 👍🏼 love ur videos!
haha nice! hope u had fun in vegas
I like the Mango White Claw!
White Claw FTW!
Damn that hotel looks awesome. My wife keeps trying to get me to book a hotel here but I always feel it's a waste of money since we live here. One day maybe. Glad you had fun out here with dadcation =)
thanks dude! Yeah that area is pricey. You're better off just parking at scottsdale quarter and dining there!
Oh I almost forgot, say hello to Dadcation for me.
Dadcation says hello back!
That golf course looked nice big golf fan i would have enjoyed a golf course stream
it was a nice course!
Great video. I’d love to see Gilbert AZ.
ohh one of these days. Thanks!
I thought we were going to see a wild DVW by the hydration station lol
haha he was hiding around the corner
I'm jealous 😍
Mini golf mod stream
oohh good idea
Ehhhh, you did it easy, and didnt really go out and dig deep for some of the real treasures. But it is good for people from other places to come visit and see and eat things that are concentrated in one area. Second time around will be better I hope..
What about the pending lack of water?
Lived in Arizona my whole life. Love it. Nice and hot 👍
i bet it gets super hot! thats why i only like to go in the spring haha
120 degrees is definitely "nice and hot"
Guess I was wrong the prices aren't bad at all. LOL
haha yeah some spots look pricey but others are affordable
Cooler in December
So you are in Scottsdale and you highlight a Chicago chain restaurant???? There are so many other local venues more worthy of our time. Dude.
Guy wearing the white jersey is a risky taker eating bbq like that.
WAIT A MINUTE ....THIS IS ALL ADVERTISING FOR AC HOTEL AND THE THUMB BBQ ....! THEN HE GET IT ALL FREEEEEE .......
bring that money for sure!
Hi Jaycation, but I think this place might be out of your price range. LOL
haha prices weren't that bad GOAT!
Must be nice ftr
Yeah the chi-town transplants...is not a good thing!!
No, please dont come to AZ, there's rattlesnakes and Californians, you wouldn't like it, trust me
Dont go to AZ
hello.its not dubai. overrated
Scottsdale is trashhhh 😂 I live here....
Dude goes to scottsdale and reports on a transplant pizza... weak
