Weather and Attire
November temperatures in Scottsdale typically range from 78°F during the day to the low 50s in the evenings.
The attire for all daytime events is resort casual.
Get ready to dust off your cowboy boots and favorite denim for the Boots and Roots Hoedown! This outdoor event takes place at the Mummy Mountain Western Town. As the temperature will drop a few degrees after sunset, be sure to pack a jacket. Although the Western Town is on the JW Marriot property, it’s about a 10-minute walk from the hotel lobby. For your convenience, golf cart service is available – just call the bell desk to request a ride.
The attire for the Award of Honor Dinner is evening cocktail, with sports coats optional and no ties required.
