PA is one of my favorite states and my wife is from Pittsburgh. Don't care for the desert feel of Vegas. It feels like an empty, hollow city full of bright lights but lacking substance.
In this comparison, Pittsburgh is the winner as it is a more well-rounded, established city. However, I get tired of people calling the western desert a barren wasteland, because there really is quite a bit of beauty in it.

I quite like Pittsburgh as well.
But, with Las Vegas...amazing scenery all around.
Red Rock Canyon, Mt. Charleston, Valley of Fire...all VERY close to Las Vegas city...than further out you have Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, etc.
I mean, to just dismiss all of that beauty...as many have been doing on this thread....I mean, wow.

So true - the desert is beautiful in its own way, and really quite unique.

I choose Pittsburgh for many of the same reasons listed, but I have hope for Vegas. I want it to become a parody of the rest of the world with high kitsch running everywhere. No more of these bland "cosmopolitan, upscale, etc." themed crap. It's got to be specific themes taken to their extremes lining the strip everywhere. Even the low-rise off-strip shouldn't be immune. Every single neighborhood in Vegas needs to be a facade of somewhere else. It should all be mandatory.

I have hope for Vegas as well!
I like both cities equally as much.
I am surprised though the love Pittsburgh is getting on this thread, and the almost no love that Las Vegas is getting!
