#bigeasy is puny, no one in this generation calls it that. It sounds straight out of the movie a streetcar named desire.

#LA 32 Million
#LosAngeles 12 Million

Philly has over 7 Million tags for Philly/Philadelphia. There are not many other names for cities like Boston, Seattle, San Diego.

I wonder if you added #Hollywood what the numbers would look like? (not an Instagram member so I can't do it -- I know, I'm old. )

Keep in mind Vegas probably has a lot between Vegas and LasVegas
There is also a massive gap between the amount of people living in the Vegas valley (two million) and the amount of annual visitors (41 million). I highly doubt there's another city out there with a ratio like that.
Example: LA metro is 18 million residents with 44 million visitors.

And when I left Chicago and went to Miami, I hashtagged Miami because it felt like I just entered a third world mini-Cuba/Haiti ghetto.

#Hollywood has 8.8 Million, but some people are probably using it as an adjective.

It's so cute you were so hurt what I said about Phoenix ages ago, now you follow me around like a puppy. Trying to bash Miami.

Too bad Miami is more popular than the entire Arizona several times over. You can take #phoenx, #phx, #grandcanyon and whatever you have in that state of yours.

#Atlanta still has over 6 million posts, more than any tag Philly has...Atlanta is the bigger city in pop culture these days, especially over Philly.

And as I said, I just used each cities most popular tag...I didn't want to calculate different tags for cities. I think it's an accurate list.
