British flock to Las Vegas.

Here are the top 10 for all visitors (domestic and all international). NYC is number 1 for international. I would have to find stats for specifically European visitors.
10. San Diego, Calif.: 29,600,000 visitors
9. Philadelphia, Pa.: 30,320,000 visitors
8. Houston, Texas: 31,060,000 visitors
7. Atlanta, Ga.: 35,400,000 visitors
6. Las Vegas, Nev.: 36,351,469 visitors
5. Miami, Fla: 38,100,000 visitors
4. Anaheim/Orange County, Calif.: 42,700,000 visitors
3. Chicago, Ill.: 45,580,000 visitors
2. New York City: 47 million visitors
1. Orlando, Fla.: 48 million visitors

Maybe for Spanish people it will have to be Florida since most of the Latinos are there and many speak Espanol so it won't be a totally different place for them.

You sure about that? that's only South Florida. California and Texas have a huge amount of more Latinos.

Maybe there are more Latinos from Latin America in Texas and California but I heard from my sister who lives in Florida, there are many Spaniards who are in Florida and not just simple Spaniards but wealthy ones.

I've heard Europeans say they think Washington DC is most similar to Europe with its lack of skyscrapers, urban lifestyle, and the grand monumental buildings and its design since it was designed by a French planner. I've also heard Europeans say they like New York and Chicago. OF these, DC is still the most European feeling.

Of the non-European style cities in America, I've heard good things about Myrtle Beach, maybe because you can't find something like it in Europe. I met a couple Europeans in the truly all-American city of Amarillo, Texas and they didn't seem to like it too much.

If you only count Europeans:
Los Angeles and Miami both rank above Chicago,
San Francisco, Boston and Washington D.C. rank above San Diego, Philly, Houston and maybe even Atlanta.

My problem with DC is that it feels a bit too planned and artificial. Too many governmental buildings. The Beacon Hill area in Boston felt quite a bit European.
