People tell me that Tucson is similar to Albuquerque in some ways
but I've never been there (Yet). Maybe a hotter, Sonoran desert version?
El Paso...maybe in third place? or second? Was there once briefly so can't really judge
...seems like it fades into Ciudad Juarez, the bigger neighbor.

Las Vegas and Phoenix...nope, neither one
I drove through ABQ, I live in Tucson. They definitely LOOK similar but I can't say they are the same. Skylines are identical, tall snowy mountains out east... But I was staying in Santa Fe and while I loved it, that part of New Mexico did remind me of home in a lot of ways with a few minor differences.
I voted Tucson on here only in spite of Phoenix winning the thread at the time which infuriated me.
.
One of Tucson's biggest economic drives is the tourism from Mexico; as many come in from Sonora to go shopping. So Tucson sees a lot more Mexican influence, probably the most of any city in our state.
Interesting. I was in Tucson in March. One surprise there for me was the lack of Mexican influence at the street level considering how close Tucson is to the border.

I think of Albuquerque, Phoenix, Tucson when I heard Southwest, in that general order.
