Not quite.

NYC & Chicago trump it.

If it weren't for the mountains & city lights from above LA would be pretty mediocre. Dallas hands down beats LA at night when comparing individual buildings. Its not really a contest. Dallas turns into a toned down Vegas at night.

Las Vegas, because of all the neon.

The rest are basically interchangeable.

"If it weren't for" arguments make absolutely no sense. Do you think those mountains and city lights are going to magically disappear any time soon?

"Toned down Vegas" may be a compliment to you but not everyone is into tacky neon lit buildings.

I can't believe Seattle is winning this poll. It's nighttime skyline is nothing spectacular.
