I went to the Flea Market today for the first time in years and was pleasantly surprised at just how much cool stuff there was. If you've ever been to Asia and done the outdoor night market's then this is the closest you're gonna get...especially in Phoenix. There was the usual selection of flea-market junk, but also a large selection of tools, new and used car stereo's and speakers, bootleg DVDs, knock off Coach bags and sunglasses and inexpensive clothes and shoes. There were a lot of booths selling a variation of the same thing and I would have given the market a better rating if there was more variety. Going to the flea-market is as much of a cultural experience as it is a shopping trip so be prepared! There is great Mexican food, Hispanic medicinal herb booths, Tejano music blaring, and ethnic dried foods that you might not recognize. Did I mention you can get $3.00 beers? Drunk shopping is one of my favourite ways to do outdoor markets and on a cool Phoenix night this would be a great way to spend the evening. read more

Okay, this was my first time at Phoenix Greyhound Park and my first time watching dog races (unless I can count watching All Dogs Go to Heaven - because I have seen that countless times). Any ways, I would definitely go again and I would totally recommend Phoenix Greyhound Park. Like I said, I have never done this before - so I had no clue how to bet or what to bet on. There was this VERY helpful man named Chuck who broke down the beats to me and my friend and really helped us get started. I won 5 times, but still walked away $6 short from when I started...it takes real skill to be that good... :o) At first, since I didn't really know what I was doing, the races were a little confusing to me, but after 4 hours and a few wins later, I was yelling my dismay and excitement with the rest of the crowd! At about 10pm (when my friend and I assumed the old folks home buses came and packed up their clientele) The atmosphere was still lively and it was still fun! Though, I would say that's because 99% of the people who were there were probably also pure blood Hockey and Nascar fans...so they know how to have fun (in their own way! :)) To say the least I had a blast with the betting, dog races and family friendly environment - the reason for my mid-rating has more to do with the quality of food service. I think we saw our waitress about 4 times the whole 5 hours we were there...when the food finally came it was really good (don't waste your money on the desserts), but I was thirsty pretty much the whole time. I'm giving them a little bit of a break because I think for the whole room (200 tables) they only had 2 waitresses, so they were spread thin and we were up and down making our bets any ways. Oh, and by the way, when you go, be a big spender and pay the $3 bucks a person and go up stairs, that's where all the fun is (and you get to ride the escalator)! read more

The person before me reviewed Phoenix Greyhound Park as a Flea Market. I....will be reviewing the Greyhound Park in Dog Race form. We came here during 4th of July night, after many drinks and BBQ-ing and swimming at my relatives home. Prior to leaving to come here, it sounded like a good idea - I was comparing the dog races to the Del Mar horse races in San Diego in my head. But, during the drive, I started feeling wary. This is Arizona, and they're racing dogs in 110 degree heat? What is the constant tugging at my heartstrings? This guilt isn't working for me. The track is outdoor, while the patrons betting on these beautiful animals sit indoor in stadium seating, behind huge glass windows, watching giddily while drinking beer and eating snack bar-type foods. Admission is free. They do keep the dogs indoor before racing them. I decided I'd relent and bet on a race, then immediately felt like an asshole when they brought the dogs around for the camera and I saw them dressed in numbered garb and muzzles. I lost, but I didn't bet for the rest of the races we stayed for, it just didn't feel right. Everyone else had a good time, though, especially the winners. How can I get so excited about the horse races but not the dog races? I'm a walking contradiction. read more

I'm sad that there is no longer live racing anywhere in Arizona. People have their opinions and that is mine, I loved this place, as did my children and father. It was a palatial venue that hosted the Sport of Queens. read more

Recently I visited the Phoenix Greyhound Park for the first time. I have never been to such an event before as was looking forward to something new. Unlike a restaurant, it is a bit of a challenge to put a star rating on the location as an overall experience. I went with a friend on a Saturday night and being a high-roller, paid the $3 admission into the club area. We were immediately seated by the hostess and soon a waitress arrived with menus. I wasn't really focused on the waitress and really didn't even look at her when she left the menu. I didn't remember her name and when 30 minutes passed and she didn't return, I went to the bar to look for her. They asked who my waitress was - I don't know. What did she look like? - I don't know. Did she have short hair or long hair? - I don't know, I didn't even look at her. Then the bartender asked was it that girl? Like I said, I didn't look at her - just find out who covers that table and send someone down. Is it really that difficult? Finally, she showed up apologizing. We both order and it is another long wait. Drinks were empty, the food wasn't out and she was nowhere to be found. Eventually the food arrived and actually was pretty good. My friend had the French dip sandwich and I the grilled chicken (which I thought was a grilled chicken sandwich, but was just a piece of grilled chicken on a plate). But it was good and the fries were excellent. She did stop by to pick up my friend's plate, but left mine as it still had fries. But even after it was empty, the plate sat...and sat....and sat....drinks were empty...my friend was parched of thirst and finally the waitress showed up to fill up the glass and take the plate. When I say take the plate, I mean it was moved from our table to the empty table across from us - where it said for another hour with other plates filled with half eaten food. Nice that it was right there next to us. Another long wait and the waitress showed up asking about dessert. She did come back a few times before we decided to split the apple crisp, which was good, but not as good as it could be. She brought the bill, which was $22 and change. I put in $25, expecting change to be brought and I would leave the appropriate tip. That was the last time we saw her. Good thing I didn't need change. Thinking about the betting window, the experience was good. Neither of us had been to a track before and they took time to explain how it worked. They explained each type of bet, how to pick the dogs and what to look for. It was very helpful - although out of 18 races I only won once. My friend was more successful that I and racked up 5 wins. I did find one of the people at the betting window to be very friendly and helpful. The other two were all business and didn't talk. Overall, when considering the entire experience, I would give it a 3. The company I was with was a definite 5, the betting experience (even though I didn't win) probably a 4-4.25 (due to the lack of communication from the other representatives) and while I understand food is not the primary attraction, it is listed as a feature of the club, so one would expect it to be a focus of the operation. The Food quality was a 3, but the food service was a definite 0. Go for the betting experience, the sweet view of Camelback Mountain as the track's backdrop, but don't expect much from the food... read more

Phoenix Greyhound Park - Entrance to the Park - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

There has never been horse racing at the GREYHOUND park. They haven't had dog races there for years either. What a travesty! The place was fun. Now it's a swap meet. read more

OMG....I am reviewing....gasp, my Scottsdale friends, gasp, yes, a FLEA MARKET. And no, this is not where momma fleas buy milk for their young. The flea market or swap meet here in downtown Phoenix was a new experience for me. And let me tell you, it is pretty damn fun. Now, I can only take it for so long. Like fabric shopping with Rickie. Or hearing about my parents' neighbors goiter. It is huge. I'm pretty sure we were the only two mo's perusing the neon lamps, Frauda sunglasses and mattresses. Yes, they do sell mattresses. Please. Step away from the mattresses. Oh, and probably not the best place to get that tattoo. But, if you're looking for a new sunglasses, like my Foui Vouitton's ($8) and I've had them over a year and receive numerous compliments, you should hit up this place. After paying a buck or two to get in, you walk past lots of weird candy (it ain't Snickers and such) like sugary, lemony, chile spiced fried things. Not as bad as it sounds. I found the COOLEST Eiffel Tower statue that when you pull on it, A SWORD comes out!!!! Yes, you heard me. Just what every nightstand needs. And shoes. Yes, I bought a pair of $25 shoes and no kidding, get more compliments than my $240 Johnston & Murphy's. The best part is tucked away in the corner and it's truly the hidden gem. A store totally dedicated to Hello Kitty, Brady Bunch, Betty Boop, Charlie's Angels and all things pop culture. I could spend all day in this part. If you're up for something different and before it gets too hot, skee daddle on down to Washington Ave. Oh and they also have deodorant, make up, those pictures that you plug in and they have Jesus and a waterfall, with moving Jesus and water, all lit up, and an entire Kimono booth, incense, cookware and a man who makes guacamole, stuffed animals and while you're at the flea market you can even have your car windows tinted or a mural put on the side of your van! read more

I arrived a 3:20a on 5/20. I bought a ticket for the 3:45a bus. It was not ready to leave until 4:25a and it was overbooked. I had to wait for the next bus going my way which was 8:25a. I still had to pay full price- eat the terrible overpriced food and use the facilities that smelled like they hadn't been cleaned in months in the meantime. I would never use greyhound again. read more
