Sunday

4th Annual Big Band Concert and Dance

This event is the one that means the most to me. Since my father loves jazz music, I am sure that he would love this event at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort on Sunday from 3 p.m.-7p.m. The former front man for Count Basie, Dennis Rowland will front the Extreme Decibel Big Band and play familiar tunes from Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. Tickets for this fundraiser to promote jazz education are $30 in advance and $35 at the door or spoil him with a room for only $129 a night which comes with $100 credit to be used for food, beverages or spa services. That’s a grand-daddy of a deal if I ever heard one. www.scottsdaleplaza.com

Arrowhead Grill Free Steak 

For those looking for a great cut of meat at an even greater price – FREE; I would make reservations now for Arrowhead Grill in Glendale. Executive Chef, Charles Schwerd, is giving away 25 free steaks for lunch and 25 for dinner for dad with the purchase of an entree. But wait, there’s more…this is a $28 Delmonico steak; he uses the century old recipe from the posh Park Avenue Delmonico Hotel in Manhattan. www.arrowheadgrill.com

Rockin’ R Ranch Dinner & Show 

If your father has more of a hankerin’ for the Old West, saddle up to this deal in Mesa. Guests will receive a chuck wagon style dinner and a show from the local Western music and comedy act, “Rockin’ R Wranglers.” The party also includes an old-fashioned gunfight near the OK Corral. www.rockinr.net

Free Prime Rib Dinner 

If dad prefers a prime rib to the aforementioned steak, Rawhide at Wild Horse Pass is offering a free eight-ounce prime rib with all the fixins’ for all dads. No minimum purchase required, just show up and ask for your Father’s Day Prime Rib – you’ve earned it. www.rawhide.com
