Miami
New Orleans
Las Vegas
D.C.

If you think about it New York City is probably the most important world city that's never hosted an Olympics ever... Paris, London, and now Tokyo will have held multiple Olympics. The logistics of having an Olympics in New York would be challenging, but all the same, you figure eventually they'll host a games there.

After that, Chicago and San Francisco would be good candidates. Of the ones listed I could see DC as a choice and Miami would be interesting; I wouldn't mind watching that Olympics...
