LA a desert city?? Not quite.

Las Vegas and Palm Springs are about as desert as you can get.

Albuquerque is boring when compared to Phoenix or Las Vegas.

It's more beautiful than both

I like both Phoenix and Las Vegas, but I think Albuquerque is far better looking than both those cities. I like the climate of ABQ too.

Yeah, but still boring. I still don't understand all the Albuquerque hype. Of course, I still don't understand all of the Austin hype either as I used to live in Austin when it wasn't so watered down and THAT is when people should've been moving there. Of course people love trends...

Everyone has their own opinions. I don't like ABQ because "it's a trend", I like it because it's beautiful. Mountains, snow, beautiful designs. I just like it better.

Either Vegas or Phoenix. I voted Vegas, but either 1 of those 2. Phoenix is the biggest, but Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world

Man, lol... wow, seriously?
Vegas is ALOT like a one-night-stand.
It's only attractive at first sight, after that it is really ugly.. and fake.
Tucson sucks, half the city is out of business.
Phoenix has the desert locked down in so many different ways.

Nightlife (2nd to Vegas)
Sports (All 5)
Population (no competition)
Skyscrapers (lol)
Beauty (city is highly decorated)

Vegas doesnt seem like a city to me, more like a giant mobile home.
Hardly anybody there are native residents, alot of junkies and strung out prostitutes.
Besides those awesome clubs those casinos offer, Vegas sucks.
BTW - Forgot to put Reno and El Paso in there
