Hot. In Palm Springs, it's not just the temperature. It's the reputation - well deserved - that makes this place a playground for the rich, famous and anyone who's interested in a glamorous good time.

The city proper and its surrounding communities, affectionately known as "the Springs," are host to more than 90 golf courses, hundreds of tennis courts, thousands of swimming pools and even more millionaires and movie stars looking to relax and have a few moments in the desert sun. The resorts are plentiful.
