Even as a city I don't really see the culture in LV. To the contrary, it seems like one giant fake, one of the least cultured big cities in the US.

I hate the words "more cultured"

Lets not be a bunch of snobs, everywhere has culture and no culture is better than the other...

Yes Orlando, Las Vegas, Dubai are cultured and places like Timbuktu, Athens, Jerusalem aren't any more or less better than them.

I totally disagree. And not because I was a snob, I have equally little to do with any of those places.

Some things are simply superior to others, which is logical when things are different.

That's because it is.

This is the type of response that reminds me of the child who came in last place but got a trophy just for participating. While I agree that everywhere has culture, in the real world, some are better than others. Life isn't always fair and politically correct.

it's interesting how America's culture is mostly black or latino in persuasion!

when Americans tell you how awesome the food back in their hometown is (then they start telling u about good mexican tacos, burritos, fajitas) or amazing (soul food or cajun = black people)

they talk to you about architecture, and it's all art deco from belgium and france, or pueblos in new mexico from native americans

if they mentioned american music then they'll talk about (jazz, soul, rock, funk) all black urban beats

what is anglo american culture? besides suburbias, shopping malls, working 70 hours a week, SUV's, jesus christ, let me go to college and get 100thousand dollars in debt?

I am not being bigoted but if you take the latino and black element outside of America the US would be an awful homogeneous, depressing, sterile place to be!!!!
without blacks or latinos the US would be as exciting as a small town in the middle of Iowa!

What about literature, country music and cinema, Irene?
Massachussets, because of the universities
