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.

“... when I finish reading People, I always feel that I have just spent four days in Los Angeles. Women’s Wear Daily at least makes me feel dirty; People makes me feel that I haven’t read or learned or seen anything at all.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
