If you had to rank the “best big cities” in America, what would your list look like?

I’m doing this research b/c I’m thinking of moving and I want to live in an area that offers big city living. I think the ideal “big city” not only has a large, dense population with a sprawling metro area, but also great nightlife/culture and restaurants, a bustling job market, big time sports, a “global city” reputation w/ lots of diversity, good public transportation and is also a tourist destination. With these parameters in mind, I created a five-tiered list of my own that classifies U.S. cities in terms of their urban appeal. Any feedback or arguments? Which cities should have made my list but didn’t?

Tier 1
-New York
-Los Angeles
-Chicago

Tier 2
-Boston
-San Francisco
-Washington, DC
-Miami
-Dallas

Tier 3
-Houston
-Philadelphia
-Atlanta
-Seattle
-San Diego

Tier 4
-Denver
-Phoenix
-Minneapolis
-Baltimore
-Las Vegas
-Detroit

Tier 5
-Pittsburgh
-Cleveland
-Austin
-St Louis
-Portland, OR
-Charlotte
-Nashville
-Milwaukee
-New Orleans

A Cities Nightlife is its Heartbeat

You will find many different bars, nightclubs, lounges, and pubs across the country; you will also find just as much competition among owners and managers to make their club the most sought after entertainment experience.The nightlife of a city is its driving force. Not only are the clubs vastly different from city to city but there is also a huge sense of competitions among the various types of clubs within these cities.
If you have specific interests or nightlife desired there are many nightclubs that will meet those needs amazingly well, for this reason it is a good idea to do a little research before hitting any of the many LA nightclubs so that you know what to expect once you walk inside. Just remember that there are all kinds of night clubs in California that will meet a wide variety of needs such as laughter in comedy clubs if you know where to find them. For this reason you should take the time to find out what various Orange County night clubs are about before you stumble inside.

The sooner you understand that what is good entertainment for others may not necessarily be good or entertaining for you-this is why it is important to learn a little about Hollywood nightclubs before visiting. From upscale New York nightclubs to the down and dirty Detroit nightclubs and countless others in between there is a great race for dominance on the club circuit. Keep your city attractive to the young and those who still believe themselves to be young by providing an active nightlife to keep them happy and coming back for more. This means that it is very important for owners of nightclubs and managers to do whatever is in their power to do in order to get their nightclub’s name in lights. The only way to bring big business to your nightclub is to make it to the top of the “A” list of nightclubs on a local and national level.

Nightclubs are often easily identified according to region: while New York nightclubs often have a cultured aloofness; Miami nightclubs are anything but and Hollywood nightclubs are somewhere in the middle. Do not for one second think that ownership of nightclubs doesn’t have the potential to be profitable-the money is there or the competition wouldn’t be nearly as fierce, which is why you must make your nightclub’s name stand out.

Pay attention to the differences between Chicago nightclubs and San Francisco nightclubs or Las Vegas nightclubs, those differences are often the differences between success and failure in a new venue. When you own nightclubs it is important that you watch the competition as closely as you monitor your own business affairs. If you are honestly interested in having plenty of business night after night the best way by far is to have your name recognized as the place to be when it comes to nightclubs. For this reason you need to get the name of your Los Angeles nightclubs recognized by those who are currently visiting Philadelphia nightclubs, DC nightclubs, and various other nightclubs across the county. Name recognition has for many decades been the only advertisement for gay nightclubs and many of these are wildly successful and profitable. If you haven’t checked out their strategies for gaining exposure there is no better time than the present.

Pave the way for the successful futures of your nightclubs by insuring that their names are recognized across the country from Miami nightclubs to Dallas nightclubs. Get your club listed at RateClubs.com and watch local business and tourists alike pour into your nightclubs and the money pour into your till-if that doesn’t bring a smile to your lips perhaps nothing will.

Survey: Las Vegas ranks No. 11 on ‘drunkest’ cities list

Survey: Las Vegas ranks No. 11 on ‘drunkest’ cities list
Seeing someone in Las Vegas with a tall alcoholic beverage in hand is rarely surprising — at least on the Strip — but that doesn’t mean Las Vegas made the top 10 in a new ranking of America’s “drunkest” cities. However, it wasn’t far behind.
