Mystified

Sanctuary gets an extreme makeover

Ongoing
Those seeking Sanctuary in Scottsdale's nightlife are most certainly a saddened bunch these days, now that the 3-year-old nightclub is no more. But Diane Corieri, co-owner of the former glitter hot spot, promises that its reincarnation, Myst -- which recently staged its grand opening -- will dry those crocodile tears right up. "We wanted something new and exciting in that location," says Corieri. "A club always needs change." So out with the Greek pillars and hedonistic motif, and in with lime-green couches, flat screens, and a stable of VIP "skyboxes" overlooking the dance floor.

Hats off: Party while helping to raise funds for the United Phoenix Firefighters Association.
