Shocking, isn't it? I've been relegated to flying out of PHX a few times and it's quite the bad airport. I've flown NW, CO, AA, and US out of there and the NW area in particular has nothing airside and, like you said, everything closes at around 7 PM. The US area isn't AS bad but still, given the fact that Phoenix is (if I recall correctly) now the 4th most populous city in the USA, one would expect a better airport.
Tucson is a relatively crappy city compared to Phoenix but there are two main reasons that I'm glad I live here instead: it's cooler in the summer and the airport is better (and prices are usually cheaper than PHX).
