I love stinking hot weather. It brings back horrible memories of growing up in NJ amidst 99 degree weather with 95% humidity. I want my kids to experience that kind of suffering just like I did. We go to Palm Desert twice a Summer also. As long as you have a great pool its fine. We swim after breakfast, have lunch by the pool and then head in for a nap in the a/c. Back out for a couple hours, have a BBQ dinner, go out for ice creme and then back for a night swim. We all love it. The Westin in Scottsdale has waterslides and a lazy river. Throw in cold Sauvignon Blanc, for me, slushy drinks for the kids and its heaven meets hell onEarth for us.
