My son's school district here in Phoenix is out this week, but from what I can tell nobody else near us is.
As far as the hotel prices go, yeah, they seem to be dropping, and next week at any rate it isn't hard to get rooms anywhere near the property. HoJo dropped their rates for next week a bit too. We're staying at the DLH since they dropped their rates to $176 a night. We are only going to be there two nights/3 days, tomorrow through Wednesday. Hope the crowds don't start till we leave!
