Not surprisingly, nightlife in Phoenix tends toward cowboy dance halls and Top 40 discos in the big hotels. For a rundown of what's on musically, pick up the free weekly New Times in local record-or bookstores, or check out the bars and clubs we've listed below. Both the Phoenix Symphony Hall, 225 E Adams St (tel 602-495-1117), and the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, 7380 E Second St (tel 602-994-2787), put on classical music, theater and ballet. The Arizona Diamondbacks have been playing major league baseball beneath the retractable roof of the Bank One Ballpark since 1998 (tel 602-514-8500), while the Phoenix Suns play NBA basketball at the America West Arena, 201 E Jefferson St (tel 602-379-2000), and football's Arizona Cardinals are based at the university's Sun Devil Stadium (tel 602-379-0102).
