I think Las Vegas has a great urban landscape especially at night. Like the modern buildings and the lack of congestion.

In terms of historical cities, I would say Charleston SC and Savannah.

This city easily has the prettiest and most elegant architecture of the cities on this list.
I suppose...but Boston's skyline is very disappointing. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Yeah I like how Philadelphia blends old school historic with a modern and contemporary skyline with nice standout buildings (Liberty Place is stunning). Boston's skyline seems so...well..uniform. It has distinctive looking towers, but they're not very pretty. I think its the International Place buildings in the forefront when viewed from the harbor, I never liked those buildings. I do love the John Hancock tower though (wide and skinny blue glass one in the Back Bay). The Pru is hideous (except at night).

So you are presenting opinion as being factual? Sorry, but I'm quite sure of myself when I say that I think Chicago is more visually attractive.
