Unless you are interested in a casino, the reservations are not tourist destinations. There are several shops for turquoise in Old Town Scottsdale and Cave Creek. There are very occasionally pop-up trucks with items but my experience is that most of the souvenirs are mass produced and made in China or somewhere other than the US - a simple check of the branding will reveal this. In the summer these off the road stands would be quite rare.

I would suggest taking a day trip to Sedona while you are in the area. The spas have fantastic deals (at least compared to "in season") during the summer.

For shopping right next door is the Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter. Also in downtown Is Scottsdale Fashion Square. For a very different vibe for antique and resale shops and cowboy bars head up to town of Cave Creek

Take a day trip up to Sedona, look at the Pink Jeep Tour and Tlaquepaque.

Museum recommendations would include Museum of the West, Musical Instrument Museum, The Heard and Taliesin West.

The MIM is a must do if you in anyway like music. Can be a full day event. Lots to do and see.

Old Town Scottsdale, I live here, I've been all over the world and the party scene is incredible if you are here to have some drinks, if you want it a little milder, take an uber to Arcadia, or stay on the west side of Scottsdale road. Ditto on all the other posts, i'll add you can do brush bar classes at night drink wine and paint, indoor sky diving, or outdoor if you road trip to Eloi, hike camelback, bike old town or the greenbelt, there's a lot to do really, did you just want to stay in Scottsdale?
