North Scottsdale residents may not have to drive down to Old Town’s over-rated nightclubs anymore. The Scottsdale Fairmont Princess Resort has just opened its newest up and coming addition - Stone Rose Lounge. Created by nightclub entrepreneur Rande Gerber, this new hot spot had its very Grande Opening with a Maxim celebrity party over Super Bowl weekend. From the looks of the photos, this party seemed to bring in every hot star and a-list socialite that was in town for the sports weekend.

Stone Rose Lounge is said to be a sleek and modern nightly dwelling, with a spacious interior, heavenly white curtains, dark black couches with a square wood bar in the center. Not only is this lounge fashionable and glamorous, the cocktails are diverse and tasty. Looks like the FBR might not be the only thing on the Fairmont’s menu…

Well if you (and your bod) don’t feel ready to break out the sexy lingerie, impress him with the next best thing - the most delicious sweets in Phoenix.

If you haven’t already heard, the 14-time All-Star basketball legend, Shaquille O’Neal, is set to join our coveted Phoenix Suns and grace our city. So if you see a seven-foot-one, 325 lb man walking around town, believe it or not, it might just be the one-and-only Shaq! The Miami Heat traded Shaq in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks and signed a $200 million contract. Seems like quite a good deal for Shaq… going from one of the worst teams in the NBA to one of the best on the West Coast - all for $200 million. I don’t know about you, but I will definitely buy Suns tickets just to see Shaq slam dunk!
