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

How Does Hooters Hotel Las Vegas Rank as a Favorite Holiday Hangout?
Everyone dreams of and plans for a perfect vacation. How much you enjoy depends on the kind of hotel you stay in at your destination. So, you need to plan, by finding out what hotels are there, and how they compare with one another.
If you are planning a trip to Las Vegas, take a look at Hooters Hotel. It’s very close to the Strip, just a few minutes walk away. The rooms are nice and have the latest amenities. The best part is the room rent, which ranges from $50 per night. If you want a glimpse of the Strip book a tower room. There are poolside bungalows, too.
An additional charge of $15 is payable per person. There’s no charge for children below 11, accompanied by their parents. In keeping with the Hotter Theme of fun, rooms have a casual look to them. King beds as well as double beds with bedding and linens are standard.
Higher end rooms have a fridge and a ‘Hooter’ table with bar stools and an oversized ice bucket for your beverage. Apart from this an optional internet access is also offered, in the room. Bathrooms come equipped with towels and hair dryers.
Hooters has a young image, and this is borne out by the young crowd the hotel attracts, many of them in the early 30s.
If you want to buy a gift for someone, the Bait Shoppe which is open 24/7 is the perfect place to get it from. And if you want Hooters Casino Hotel logo merchandise, you can get it at “Splurge”.
The Nachos at the Dam Restaurant is worth trying,; there’s plenty for the $8.95 you pay.
The casino is small and personal. If the high table limit of $10 doesn’t suit you, settle for the cocktails; you get very quick service here. Though, if you prefer beer, you’ll find the Tropicana next door is cheaper.
The crystal clear pool is a nice hangout place, irrespective of the time of day.
Entertainment shows by stand-up comics and magicians, such as Bobby Slaton and mentalist Gerry McCambridge, are major attraction. Reserve tickets while making your room bookings so you don’t miss these.
All in all, its a nice place to stay, and doesn’t cost a fortune.
