Los Arcos Mall is a defunct shopping mall which was located on the southeast corner of Scottsdale and McDowell Roads in Scottsdale, Arizona. Almost all of it was demolished in the early 2000s. The site is now the home of SkySong, Arizona State University's Scottsdale Center for New Technology and Innovation.
Los Arcos Mall opened in 1969 and was developed by Phoenix-based Westcor Partners. The cross-shaped enclosed mall was anchored by Broadway Southwest on the east end, Sears on the south end, an entrance and a food court on the north end, and another entrance and a lower-level movie theatre on the west end. The mall was one of the largest and most modern in the Phoenix metropolitan area for its first decade or so. However, as newer and larger centers were built nearby, Los Arcos' drawing power began to fade.

“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
