Las Vegas and Miami as a tie as a place to visit

Orlando as a place to live

- Housing Miami, has old and new. A lot nice then the two others.
- Downtown Miami, its a real downtown. Its a world financial hub.
- Skyline Miami
- Parks None really, but Miami (two national parks)
- Schools Miami
- Recreational activities Close but Miami cuz it has the beaches over Vegas
- Shopping Miami
- Attractions Orlando
- Restaurants Miami
- Scenery Depends. Vegas more deserts some mountains, Miami has Beaches.
- Food/Dining scene Miami
- Safety: Vegas
- Public Transit: Sadly Miami
- Sports Miami by a LONG shot

Vegas and Orlando are more of tourist cities then Miami is. Miami has trouist but not the amount that Vegas and Orlando do. Miami is a true international city and global hub unlike the other two cities. Miami beats both cities in just about anything and everything. But Orlando and Vegas are decent too. Just should not really be compared with Miami.

Las Vegas skyline - looks way better in pictures than it does in reality. I don't think I've seen that much of a disconnect with any other city.

Public transit well Ive been to both cities Miami and Vegas Vegas was the easy city to navigate there monorail was easy to use. Metro rail didnt get to use .SHOPPING no contest Vegas is one of the shopping mecas have you walked up and down the strip ,have you seen the Beligio and fashion place. Compare to shopping in Miami or orlando and Theres much more High Profile restaurants in Vegas. Thats all

As much as Miami's public transit sucks. Miami has a monorail system Downtown, and a Metro that goes 15 miles south of Downtown, And into areas West and North of Downtown and directly to the Airport. Miami Bus service is very good for what I hear and that is a tri-county rail service serving the whole metro area.

Shopping Miami will have EVERY shop Vegas has in two locations.

Restaurants it depends, of course Vegas has the big names with their hotels. Miami has some big name places too. But you cant find authentic Colombian, Cuban, Haitian, Jamiacan etc.. in Las Vegas. Miami food will be much better.
