If the world is going to end, there's no point in worrying about credit-card debt, and the most-delightful way to max out is on very fine dining experiences at The Grill at Hacienda del Sol. Tucked discreetly in an idyllic setting with expansive views of Tucson, The Grill specializes in exquisitely prepared meals with an emphasis on local meats and vegetables, enhanced by herbs from the kitchen's own garden. For dinner, consider filet mignon, the rack of lamb, a veal loin, infused pappardelle or seasonal fish. A worthy, less-expensive option is to enjoy breakfast (try the Hacienda buffalo Benedict, with buffalo chorizo); after all, you are blessed with the same great views.
