That said. There are very very very very very very very VERY V.E.R.Y few cities in the US that can compare to Los Angeles at night. And I'm sorry, but Dallas isn't one of them. Los Angeles is ENDLESS. It is absolutely stunning to see LA from Griffith Park at night, it goes on forever. And the skyline? well, from Century City all the way east along Wilshire blvd to Downtown, Dallas can only dream of having what LA has.
Not to bash Dallas though, it's a great city. But not better at night than LA  |
Who said Dallas was bigger than L.A?...Notta one person...but Dallas lights up better...sorry  |

Last night I was heading dt on the 10 and as the dt LA skyline came into view it was truely spectacular. The Ritz Carlton & LA Live with its blue lights and huge spotlights beaming into the sky makes it extra special imo

Dallas has brighter lit individual buildings, LA has the bigger overall night time skyline because of all the taller skyscrapers & mid-low rise density surrounding it.
The last time I saw DT LA at night it looked pretty dark though...US Bank Tower's crown wasn't even lit! 
I'd say its a toss up. |

Are you serious? Cool, you guys got a freaking green building. But honestly this isn't a close comparison. Dallas looks like a carnival, LA looks like a city

Houston ain't in this poll & if it was it would be a far 2nd behind LA & Dallas.
It sucks that Houston just doesn't light up its skyline anymore like it used to & when it did it WAS comparable to Dallas & LA. 
Houston even had a building outlined in green neon (Wedge International) just like Dallas only it was 370' shorter than BOA & was clad in pink versus all silver glass. |
