BCJ...love ya dude, but how anybody would have Las Vegas at #2 on a list of the WORLD'S greatest cities is absolutely beyond me.

The only platform on which Vegas can compete with, is nightlife/entertainment. That's literally Vegas' ONLY asset.

Here are just a few things that make a city "great":

-Business climate
-Culture
-History
-Great architecture

Las Vegas has *NONE* of the above!

I'll add Buenos Aires. Though I've never been there, everything I've read or heard about it has been amazing.

By my travels, I'd say this is a good list. But I'd condense it to

Paris
London
Tokyo
Barcelona
Hong Kong
New York

Out of those if I had to pick...it would be New York or Tokyo for a dead tie. I love Tokyo and always have.

NYC, London, Tokyo, Paris. In that order. Global centers. Creme of the crop. LA is a giant suburb, and not much of a center outside of film and media.
