Winter may be on its way, but things are starting to heat up in Arizona: The state is celebrating its centennial in 2012, and Joie de Vivre Hotels just opened its first property outside California, The Saguaro, in Scottsdale. In honor of the former, the latter will offer 100 rooms per week at the super low rate of $100/night for the next 100 days. At the 194-room Saguaro, set in vibrant Old Town Scottsdale, guests can indulge in a lively Mexican restaurant and whiskey bar, a spa specializing in indigenous treatments, and two outdoor pools. The sale starts at midnight tonight and runs through March 1.

THE VALUE: Standard rates start at $159-$189 during this time period, so you can save 37 to 47 percent!

THE CATCH: Blackout dates include December 31 and January 12-14.

THE DETAILS: Head to thesaguaro.com and use code PROPEN to book.
