Why would times square be busy after 1am? Night life is not there. How about going to the Meat Packing district sure you will see plenty of people at 4am.

Well first your more likely to get into a club that is empty then one that is busy. Also different clubs are popular on different days so your probably just went to the wrong ones for certain nights. And of course thursday-Saturday is the busiest. Also the summer months are not as busy mostly locals. And when its mostly locals the certain days for each club are even more important.

Agree if people are going to times square for nightlife, or most anything for that matter they are likely tourists

I went with a local, stayed from thurs. am to sun. am. and it was in mid January. maybe the girl had no clue what she was doing,because these bars were literally dead. one of the bars we went to is always shown on that show jersey shore ('bed') and its PACKED, yet when we went there were probably 12 people in there. however, what it lacked in the 'club scene' (in my experience) it made up for with other nightlife options; for example, people were literally just walking the streets passing out tickets to a concert at the bud light hotel--we went and ended up having a blast.

I haven't been to any of the other cities other than NYC (which isn't all that its cracked up to be)

Keep in mind that New Orleans is primarily a bar town (less clubs so that is a minus...but you can drink here 24/7/365)

NYC has a better balance of nightlife. From trashy to super exclusve /trendsetting/hip to high society. New York is all about sophistication while there is no taste in Las Vegas.

No city is as buzzing as New York.

Answer: New York.
very true unlike one strip in vegas all of Manhattan is pretty bumping at night with nightlife.
