I cant stand either. LV and Miami/MB are all transient, criminal hide-outs with roads filled with terrible drivers, rude people, and road rage. Both suck really.
If i never lived in Orlando i probably would pick Las Vegas because no one really knows how it really is in Orlando without living here for a long period of time. Las Vegas just seems more appealing to the general public, from the outside. There both cool cities though. It doesnt really matter where you are raised, i can get the same knowlage anywhere in america. I'm 100% northern blooded, i go up there once or more a year. i know how it is up there and i would still pick orlando. I just like the laid back lifestyle better. I sure as hell wouldnt live in Gary IN, its nothing like Orlando so idk where that came from.
Please keep telling me more rediculous BS sterotypes about my city, they get funnier and funnier everytime.
When I went there, I almost cried in self pity, because I was living there at the time. You run the risk of dumbing down quickly when your in a cultural abyss, you begin to think a Burger King with a drive inn is a cultural experience, which brings me to another thought. IN-N OUT burger, better than any fastfood in Puertorlando!!
I thought they only had IN-N-OUT Burger in Cali, and the west.
Downtown might not have the best restaurants in town, but there are great restaurants here in the metro...just to name a few excellent, everyday places:
Thai - SEA Thai (colonialtown)
Indian - Tabla (universal area)
Tapas - Chiveche (downtown) and El Bodegon (winter park)
Gyros - New York Deli (downtown)
Pizza - Carmella's (longwood)
African - Jiko (and this place is top-notch dining, Disney or not...you could drop this place in NYC and it would be successful)
Italian - Il Paradiso (altamonte)
Mexican - Paco's (winter park)
Philly Cheesesteak- Kappy's (maitland) and Brianto's (east orlando)
Brunch - Dexter's
As for chains, sometimes they still offer some great food. I still have yet to find burgers and fries I like better than 5 Guys in any city, and I have had a lot of burgers.

Dailyjournal and History will probably tell you those restaurants have health code violations knowing those two guys.

Or they'll claim that they've eaten at all of them and they all suck. Its quite pathetic. Those listed are just a small fraction of many great places to eat in the orlando area. Even though its in a shopping center in the east suburbs of orlando Goodfellas is a GREAT Italian restaurant, if you disagree you must have bad taste. Everytime my family from Long Island comes down to visit, they have to eat there. http://www.goodfellasorlando.com/

There are so many good finds in strip malls in FL...these snobs dismiss them instantly for being located in such a place. Their loss. I have heard nothing but great things about that place.
