Seriously, you’re talking about people being less traveled than you and you’re still arguing Vegas over New Orleans in terms of dining?

Chicago and San Francisco I do agree are ahead of New Orleans (bring the downvotes), but Vegas?

I’m asking in earnest: State your case for Vegas over New Orleans.

That’s me too. And when the Saints are doing good is the only time I follow any kind of sports at all.

Over priced casino restaurants aren't great places in general but Vegas has some good ones.
Vegas is not close to Nola though.
Maybe for the buffet crowd it might be close. LOL

I never said Vegas had no good restaurants.

I said New Orleans was miles ahead in culinary terms.

And then I asked the guy to make his case for why Vegas is better.

The ones who have never been outside of the state that calls counties parishes are the ones overly impressed with NO's dining. NYC is the obvious answer. Vegas is by far better. Hell, San Francisco and Chicago are on the same level as NO.

LV doesn't belong with NYC, SF, LA, or Chicago.

Didn’t necessarily think you were disagreeing, just thought I should clarify my position.

All good man.

OP, drive through the worst parts of N.O. Then drive through the worst parts of Chicago. Detroit. Just for a start. Not even close.

OP can eat a fricking dick. Nola doesn't want your stupid arse anywhere near them anyway. This city is way too good for losers like you.

I’m the opposite. Love New Orleans, but don’t care for the Saints.

Nope. It has always been that way. Almost 300 years of it.

To be clear, New Orleans isn’t “too good” for any citizen that pays taxes, has a job, and abides by the law.

I don’t know the OP personally, but I would bet he fits that description better than a large percentage of New Orleans residents do.

I always thought it was ironic that you are one of the biggest NOLA haters, yet your name says otherwise.

Please, show me where I've ever criticized the city before this post. I'll wait.

We've had this discussion before.
You picked the name, then moved.

I'm not searching for it.
I wouldn't know you otherwise.
