I was down there in 2005. Flew into Phoenix and spent the first evening in Scottsdale before heading down to Tuscon. Of course, pretty much anywhere is going to suck compared to Scottsdale, but Tuscon seemed kind of dirty and run down. The weather was great - I was there in March.
One night we went to a large club - everybody was wearing cowboy clothes but listening to shitty hip hop dance music. It was awful, but also kind of surreal.
The coolest things we saw were Saguaro National Park and the airplane graveyard at Davis Monthan Air Force Base. I don't know if or how the airplane graveyard is accessible to civilians; I was the guest of the head of base security, so I didn't have any issues.
