Given that Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year, it shouldn't come as any surprise that there were big parties taking place all around the Valley on Thursday, May 5. That includes such nightlife hubs as Mill Avenue in Tempe and Scottsdale's entertainment district, both of which offered major ragers at such spots as El Hefe, Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row, C.A.S.A. SunBa, and Bottled Blonde. Here's a look at some of the festivities.
