Phoenix Arizona Spa Vacation Getaways - 50% Discount

Fitness
If you’re looking to shape up, fitness services can be found all over—in health clubs, yoga studios, gyms and the like.

Hair Removal
Hair removal specialists are the wonderful professionals sympathetic to those frustrating excess hair concerns. Hair removal services include traditional waxing, Brazilian waxing, laser hair removal, electrolysis and threading.

Holistic Treatments
Holistic services are healing therapies that consider your body, mind and spirit at the same time. These therapies include, but are not limited to: acupuncture, aromatherapy, chakra-balancing, crystal therapy, color therapy and hypnotherapy.

Makeup Artistry
Makeup artistry is performed by talented individuals who know how to highlight our best features (yes, we all have at least a few) through the strategic use of makeup. In our directory, we only include professionally trained makeup artists—after all, well-intentioned sales associates offering free makeup demonstrations really deserve a category of their own.

Skincare
Skincare services focus on, you guessed it, your skin. You can ask for one or more of the following services: facials, wraps, laser therapy, plastic surgery and microdermabrasion.

Tanning
Tanning services are dedicated to, as we say in the West (well, some of us anyway), tannin’ yer hide.

Therapeutic Massage
Massage can be one of the most relaxing therapies known to, ahem, “spagirlkind.” Whether you’re preparing a nursery or nursing an injury, therapeutic massage is geared toward simultaneously restoring body and mind. Massage therapies come in a wide selection—many of which are described in the services section of the SpaGirl guide—and new ones are being invented daily.

Super Bowl XLII will be played in the Phoenix, Arizona area in 2008. Here are the answers to questions about the 2008 Super Bowl.

Q: Has there ever been a Super Bowl in the Phoenix area before?
A: Yes, Super Bowl XXX (Super Bowl 30) was played at A.S.U.’s Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ.

Q: When is Super Bowl 2008?
A: Super Bowl XLII will take place on February 3, 2008.

Q: Does Super Bowl XLII have a mascot?
A: Yes! Not only is he the mascot, but he is also the Team Captain of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. Here’s his picture.

Q: Where will the Super Bowl XLII be played?
A: A new stadium has been built in Glendale, Arizona, just west of Phoenix. It is the new home of the Arizona Cardinals, and it is a state-of-the-art facility.

Q: Where is the stadium?
A: It’s in Glendale, Arizona which is in the northwest part of the Valley of the Sun. Here’s a map and directions to University of Phoenix Stadium.

Q: How do I get tickets for Super Bowl in Phoenix?
A: Only a specific number of tickets will be allotted to Cardinals season ticket holders. During the 2007 season, the Cardinals will conduct a weighted lottery to determine which season ticket holders will be able to purchase Super Bowl XLII tickets. The lottery will be weighted based on the number of years an individual has held season tickets and the number of tickets in the account. It’s no surprise that season tickets for the first season in the new Cardinals Stadium sold out in early 2006. There is a waiting list for cancellations and accounts that aren’t paid. Remember–having season tickets still doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get Super Bowl tickets.
If you don’t have season tickets that are selected in the lottery, the only way to purchase Phoenix Super Bowl tickets will be through a ticket broker, like TicketsNow.com (Buy Direct), or from scalpers/ticket exchanges. Be careful!

If you are lucky enough to get tickets to the 2008 Super Bowl, here’s a seating chart for the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale so you can see where your seats are located.

Q: I’ll have tickets to the 2008 Super Bowl–where should I stay?

You will absolutely love the resort setting for a fraction of the cost of other resorts in the AZ area.

For more than 75 years, the Heard Museum has been a Phoenix landmark, a place where visitors from across the globe come to learn about Native cultures and art. With every exhibit, education plays a major role throughout the planning process. Unlike many museums that show “objects on a shelf,” the Heard strives to present voices and perceptions of the people who made the work on display, and Native American consultants play a vital role in the development of every exhibition.

The Heard Museum encompasses 130,000 square feet of galleries, classrooms and performance spaces. That’s more than eight times the size of the original structure built in 1929 to house the personal collections of Phoenix residents Dwight and Maie Heard.

Dwight Bancroft Heard moved to Chicago from Wayland, Mass., shortly after high school. He began working at Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett Company, one of the biggest wholesale hardware companies in the country and the precursor of True-Value Hardware Stores. While there, Dwight Heard was a protégé of Adolphus Bartlett and subsequently met Bartlett’s daughter, Maie Bartlett. In 1893, Dwight Heard and Maie Bartlett were married. One year later, the couple headed for a warmer, dryer climate andsettled in Phoenix in 1895.
