No, they have one just off the strip with a big In N' Out merchandise store next to it. I go there everytime I'm in Vegas. The reason they don't expand beyond Nevada and CA is that they drive all the meat from the plant. SOLID!!!!!

False. Just because it doesn't have a great art museum doesn't mean it doesn't offer anything. It still has an excellent scene for music and clubbing. Most cities that have better nightlife can't even offer the sheer variety of musical styles in a walkable area...40+ bars in downtown Orlando. There is one thing in Orlando that isn't spread out, and that is nightclubs. I have gone out in many, many cities in my life, and I find Orlando to be one of the most fun, even if the bars are smaller and not so posh. Vegas...sure it's more glamorous, and the bars are far prettier and swankier, yet you won't find more variety, and you will spend a LOT more money. Keep your swanky nightclub scene...for vacations that is nice, but unless you are a drug dealer you aren't going to sustain that lifestyle for long.

I've eaten there when i was in Cali. theyre pretty good for a fast food joint, but you can get just as good or even better bugers at many other places all over the country. There not that big of a deal.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said the West. I was including NV. When you mentioned In-N-Out Burger, I thought you were talking about where you lived, and your location says northeast.

Yeah, Vegas clubs are world class, you're gonna have to be a REAL big shot to go to those clubs for just one night. You're gonna have to have ALOT of money.

I know Winter Park is technically not in Orlando, but it is definitely in the Orlando greater metro area. I do not see where Las Vegas has any area of town that rivals the charm and beauty of Winter Park and shares the great museums, botanical gardens, and a liberal arts school campus like that of Rollins College. UNLV is like UCF in most ways so that is a wash. Both cities have small zoos but other animal attractions. Both cities face newer attractions taking attention away from the older downtown core. I think downtown Las Vegas, while historic, does not have as impressive a skyline or is as clean as downtown Orlando. Just a few more reasons I like both. I had a great time in Vegas April this year, but I think Orlando represents a more complete metropolitan area to reside in.

Orlando's ultra low-wages will do that.

There's nothing interesting (to me) in Orlando besides the amusement parks and Disney's wide world of sports. I've been around the entire city multiple times while seeing my Braves at spring training, and never found the shopping or restaurants anything to write home about.

The many lakes and the cleanliness of Orlando does it for me.

Yes, winter park is basically orlando. I have an orlando address but i live no where near the orlando city limits and it takes me a good 20 mins via high way to get to downtown orlando without traffic. Winterpark boarders orlando city limits and you can easily get to downtown from winterpark in about 10 mins without usuing any highways. If my area is considered orlando then winterpark has to be.


dailyj, there are many weathy areas in the orlando area so you can stop with the low wage stereotype
