Going out tonight for my first night in Phoenix.   Where should I go for a good time?   Scottsdale or downtown Phoenix? Any other areas that are nice to have a good time,  please let me know.

Both downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. Both have great bars close together with in walking distance, however I prefer Scottsdale. Its nicer in my opinion. Can't go wrong in Old Town  

Something needs to be done about downtown Phoenix's parking meters they are charging until 10 p.m. and it discourages people to go there.  I think after 5 p.m. it should be free.
