I'm sure it's fun and I know I would have a good time anywhere but being on a budget limits how much I can spend on accommodations. The southwest is nice from the end of Sept to the first of April. It all gets a little warm for me June, July, August.
I just like how reasonable the cost of living is in Havasu. I paid 64 cents of avocados last week, 78 cents for grapefruit, chicken breast for $1.79/lb, tritip for $4.49/lb, Fruit and vegetables are bad ass and super cheap. Lunch specials every single day of the week for around $5/person or less. my $200/day goes a long way down here.
