Scottsdale Nightlife: Trader Vic's has grown from a small saloon in 1934 Oakland to a nationwide chain specializing in fruity rum drinks and island-style cuisine. The Scottsdale version is found in Hotel Valley Ho, and offers dining inside, or out on their verdant patio.
Trader Vic's is heavy on the Polynesian theme, but each location avoids cookie-cutter status by incorporating unique décor from different islands all over the world. They also lay claim to the first-ever Mai Tai, so start your evening with the original.
