Just judging by the cities I've spent significant time in, I'm going with Honolulu.

I think Vegas is pretty dang fun if you go with a group of friends. Went for a weekend trip to Los Angeles and on the morning of the last day we decided, "what the hell, let's go to Vegas". Sidetracked to the Bellagio, we all lost money, ate and drank a bit, headed south and got back to Phoenix. One of the most random, but fun trips I've ever had. If we had had no money, yes it's definitely an overrated city.

Las Vegas is probably the worst place in the world, except that Reno exists. After that, based on "omg so amazing u has to go thar", the most overrated cities are:

Tokyo: It's so fricking busy and weird that you essentially have to plan every step of the trip. Any trip that requires meticulous planning and a strict schedule isn't just not fun, it's abysmal.

Jerusalem: What a kitchy, touristy, self-exploitative place. Jerusalem is basically religious Disney World, if Disney World had nothing fun and only dreary shite.

Every other important city in the world has something worth doing. Israel has managed to make the entire country a tourist trap, and everywhere that anyone goes in Japan expecting something interesting is basically shite. These are toilets.

I have lived in two of those cities and would agree.

I can see Las Vegas and Paris being ranked....but not New York or London.

I guess this list must be for overrated cities that are economically or culturally significant. That would explain why a third world shite hole like New Orleans isn't on there.

NOLA. Fun place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Miami blows.

New money douche bags driving around in leased neon sports cars with melanoma causing tans.

I really can't stand that place.

I actually think the heavy Cuban areas are the only saving grace. Great food and music. The heavy douche-American areas like South Beach though are insufferable.

Vegas is terrible. I haven't been to many of the others.

All of the Vegas hate in this thread must come from poors and/or baptists.

I expected Memphis to be great. It wasn't.

Basically a giant Texarkana with more bums.

Austin tx.


Vegas and NYC are both awesome.

London was just too expensive. For the history aspect it's pretty cool but I probably won't go back again.

I will definitely return to Paris.

How is Vegas overrated? It is exactly what it claims to be. And pretty good at it at that.
