Navy pier Chicago
Miami - the whole city
Los Angeles (I love living here, but not sure why anyone would want to vacation here)
Times Square NYC- I guess you gotta go once, but it's the worst part of our greatest city
Grand Canyon- I love natural beauty, but it just didn't do anything for me
I disagree that Vegas is overrated. It's the Mecca of gambling, alcohol, women and partying. If you're into that stuff, there's no way it's overrated. If you're not into that stuff, don't go.

Yes, add LA to the list. Vastly overrated. Nice surrounding beaches and the Griffith Observatory is cool but been twice and both times was really underwhelmed. NYC is 100 times better.

Depends on what you do for vacation. Living in BR where we aren't much of an urban city, I tend to plan trips where I can just eat and drink my heart out and pretend I don't live in a shite hole. I travel to L.A. more than any other city for work, so I would never plan a vacation there purely because of that, but I look forward to visiting every time it gets scheduled.
You have the city/urban aspect, you have beaches nearby, you have mountains/hills, you have "touristy" spots, you have some light hiking, etc.
Like I said, though.. My vacation is basically doing the same things I do on the weekends, just in a much nicer place with much better options. There aren't many "vacationy" things I'm interested in.
I agree with whoever said Nashville. It is a nice place, but it is sprawled out and not all *that* different from being at home. It helps that I don't like country music, so Broadway St. does nothing for me.

Navy pier is def overrated as a tourist attraction but --if this makes sense-- its a cool place to go and people watch if you live there.

WTF? The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. If you are finding GC overrated....you are doing it wrong. How is this overrated??

really? I might be a little short sided because I was lucky enough to be able to raft the upper half and hike out to the south rim from Phantom Ranch, but that trip was borderline life altering

I've been twice and been to both the South and North Rim. The north rim is way less crowded and offers some unique views that the South rim doesn't, but it's harder to get to.
I prefer Sedona to the Grand Canyon and enjoyed the hiking and sights there a great deal.
