Paris for me. Went there and other than the landmarks and museums, it's a dump.

The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior’s college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it’s like checkin’ into an airport. And if you order room service, you’re lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it’s all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids? Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing? And that’s that.

It all depends on how much cash you have

I HATE big cities but actually loved NYC

They forgot #1, Austin Texas.

I can't help but think the only reason LV is #1 is all due to Hollywood. I know movies and such perpetuate the reputations of all those cities, but I can't imagine how many people go to Vegas thinking they'll have a glimpse of an adventure of what they see on TV and in movies, and when that doesn't happen.. they're disappointed.

Does Las Vegas really have anything going for it outside of the glitz and the glamour? Take away the casinos and the strip clubs and the only thing left is a big desert.

Orlando has to be up there as well.
