We first went to Sedona, then grand canyon and hiked the s kibab trail till the ooh ah point then went to Bryce canyon and stopped briefly at zion as well on the way back. Then we stopped in Lake Powell. Bryce canyon is stunning and worth the 4.5 hour drive from the grand canyon (see pics in Utah thread) .

No personal experience.
The Phoenician is most expensive/prestigious..

When I looked into it I felt the Phonecian was the nicest by far. It's also a real experience as its a world renowned resort. The others you can find anywhere.

After spending $30k in a year, you get Gold for next year. Or it comes included with the Amex Platinum.

There are a bunch of minyanim in the Phoenix area, though I don't remember details. Are you referring to a regular weekday?
