re: Truly amazing how much of a shite hole nyc has become

That may be true, but if I'm going to a "city", I'd rather go to Vegas. That being said, give me majestic mountains or a beautiful beach.

To each their own, but Vegas, to me, is just manufactured “fun”. It’s more theme park than historic big city. Everything just feels fake.

I guess it also could be that I grew up close enough to New Orleans. So drinking, gambling, good restaurants, and general sleaze (albeit much dirtier and far less opulent than Vegas) was not really a novelty.

I have to go to Vegas this week and I can’t wait to leave before I even get there. Food is about the only thing there for me

Haha. So the weather in Vegas is nice? Vegas isn’t overpriced? This is the problem with people these days. Can’t understand a different perspective. Maybe people are different. Maybe someone likes to gamble. Maybe someone like Broadway plays. Who knows?

That’s why Nola is better than ny and Vegas.

Truth be told, I hope AOC starts an only fans as soon as her term ends.

wtf are you talking about? I never said there weren’t fun things to do anymore but that it’s become a shithole

Never was a huge fan but it used to be halfway decent to visit and do a few fun things.

The first sentence in this thread is you claiming there USED to be a few fun things

I couldn’t live and work there but this is an understatement of cosmic proportions. It’s the greatest city I’ve ever visited and absolutely loved it back in 2009.

Again, I never, EVER want to live like that, but visiting was an absolute blast.

People talk a lot of ish on here about NOLA, but to me , ive always thought that Vegas and NOLA were polar opposites.. both are known as ‘party towns’, but in Vegas it’s all about dressing to the nines, ‘seeing and being seen’, paying an $80 cover charge to get into a bar, rubbing shoulders with high rollers, hitting up the trendiest clubs et al… whereas in NOLA, no one cares (for the most part) who you are, you can go out in shorts and a muscle shirt if you want, most bars dont have a cover, in many cases you can get s***faced drunk (if that’s ur thing) for under $30, and instead of ‘trendy’ bars, you can party and drink in establishments that in many cases have bene around since the 1800s…. New Orleans ftw any day of the week .

I stand by my assessment that Vegas offers everything NYC does, and more.

Please tell me this is sarcasm. My meter may be broken this AM.

All the scum from South and Central America was shipped to the US border. Some countries were smart enough to empty their prisons.

Some of that is contributing but when i see the shitstains in our cities it is american citizens.

These are people who have rarely left their home state sans the cruise ship trip every five years. I’m in NYC a few times a year. It’s always been one of the greatest cities in the world. It’s my personal favorite, and I’ve always felt safer there than in many parts of Baton Rouge or NOLA.
