Tipping advice Tipping is more or less expected in the United States. It is customary to tip restaurant staff, taxi drivers and hairdressers between 10 and 20 percent. Porters and bellboys are generally tipped by one or two US dollars per piece of luggage. It is not necessary to tip in fast-food restaurants or cinemas. The people of Scottsdale pride themselves on their Western informality and consequently dress very casually.
Visitors are welcome to dress up or stay casual when dining at most restaurants.
However, more formal attire is worn at business meetings. The city's horse shows and parades draw visitors from throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Those wanting to test their own horsemanship might take advantage of the opportunity to ride through the mountains or across the Sonoran Desert.
