Which western U.S. city has the best night-time skyline?

BTW, I consider everything from Denver to its west as "Western U.S." territory.

Define Western? Pacific Coast, Mountain West, what is the boundary...

I'd have to say San Francisco...just beautiful if you include the suspension bridges. But I like them all for instance..Los Angeles looks nice from the Griffith Observatory. http://www.pdphoto.org/PictureDetail.php?mat=&pg=8368 http://www.flickr.com/photos/yi_peng/355078862/sizes/l/ (broken link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFOtCJKsLw4

Probably San Francisco, what with the bridges. Seattle's a close second with its tall buildings and the Space Needle. Las Vegas is impressive, but only the strip - that's not really a skyline. LA does indeed have a pretty view from Griffith, but is otherwise too spread out. Portland and San Diego are too small. Denver's skyline looks better during the day, with the mountains behind it, as does Phoenix's and Albuquerque. So I'd go with San Francisco.

Pacific Coast and Mountain West are BOTH western and since he said Western it could be either one so pick one of the handful of cities in the West, its not that big of a deal and no need to turn it into some bigger than what it is

West is West

Los Angeles for me but I think Seattle will win the poll. It just makes no sense to ask the same group of people similar questions again and again.

Seattle's buildings are not that tall, and Los Angeles skyline is not spread out. Los Angeles is spread out, but not its skyline.
