Travel
We did not reserve any blocks, however, we did a quick search and there are many resorts, hotels, really nice air bnbs for cheap this time of year. The venue is near downtown Mesa, and most activities will be near East Mesa, but Phoenix is very well connected with it's highways, so anywhere will do. Gilbert has great options for air bnbs. Here are a few of our favorites for resorts/hotels.
Hotel
Arizona Grand Resort & Spa
8000 South Arizona Grand E, Phoenix, AZ 85044
We love the lazy river! This resort is also near the 60 which is a straight shot to East Mesa.

Lower cost option in East Mesa
For all the days along the way
