I have to concur with Macfanken regarding Vegas .It's ok for about 48 hours and then I feel this urgent need to make it to the airport.Really it's more an amusement park for adults than a city though and when you leave the strip it looks like characterless suburban sprawl.

I have a completely different perspective of Vegas. I have a fantastic time when I'm there, and I take in as much as I can without getting too loaded so I can enjoy the experience more. Alot of people I know tend to go full throttle when they go to Vegas and need to return quickly, understandibly. I love the constant stimulation of the city...that and the option of having dinner at 3 in the morning.

Don't forget RISD.

I agree with 2 and 3. I have never been to 4 so I don't know. 1 is only OK in certain areas.

Favorite City in the US....I don't know really. I love my hometown because it's laid-back and cool (Fort Worth, Texas).

The cities I've been to that I love are:

Estes Park, Colorado
Telluride, Colorado
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Galveston, Texas
Asheville, North Carolina
Eureka Springs, Arkansas (the ONLY city in AR I can tolerate)
Tuscon, Arizona
Albuquerque, New Mexico

Heat like that is for baby spiders, Christy -- not people.

I probably should have said Phoenix. We went to see the fountain in Fountain Hills and then went down through Tuscon too. My family went through Arizona back in 1998 on the way to Vegas and California. Saw the Grand Canyon and the seguaros. I LOVE Arizona and want to go back. Our trip was in October, so the weather was pleasant really.

Oh my, that place is so ridiculously expensive. I applied and you should have seen the aid package they wanted to give me. My family would still be paying it off after I die.
