Thats nice, none of those spots come close to The Strip though. Not even the manufactured Times Square, which blows anyways.

This is pretty simple: any city where the bars are open late, is a big tourist draw and it has solid nightlife offerings. So NYC, Miami Beach and Vegas would probably take this.

Miami Beach has the nice weather, a ton of tourists and bars that are open late.

Haha. I heard that there's like, heavy mid-desert traffic late into the night, on the route between LA and Las Vegas. I think it's I-15? Yeah, I heard it's gridlocked sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, late into the night on I-15 from the number of Californians going to and from LV.

New Yorkers themselves always complain about how manufactured Time Square is.

Well, the OP didn't ask for one single city. The OP asked for multiple cities.

No to the bolded ones. While Chicago is vibrant, the Loop is primarily a 9-5 business district.

Downtown Dallas and Houston are the same, just office buildings. No nightlife.

Ironically, Philadelphia has numerous bars open late. At least several dozen bars open until 3 or 4am in Center City alone. In Philadelphia they're called "after hours" bars. Philadelphia's nightlife just doesn't seem to be as "glamorized" by the media like the "mainstream" nightlife spots in Vegas, NYC and Miami Beach... which is why I think not many people know about it.

Downtown Dallas/Houston are barely alive during the day. This is a laughable post.
