Is this a joke? Las Vegas is a real city, albeit tourist oriented. It wins by miles and miles and miles in all the criteria. OKC is little more than an excuse to stop for gas and a bathroom break when driving through on I-40, the absolute, far and away worst place its size in the country. The closest comparison to OKC in that region is Bakersfield, CA.

Las Vegas is world class in the highlighted criteria. It can compete with just about anyone.

Las Vegas is superficial, plastic, and outside of The Strip, it's just a big suburb in the desert.

That being said, I will take Vegas over OKC ANY day...

Las Vegas, outside the strip, reminds me a lot of Phoenix. Suburban but not terrible if you prefer that way of living.

Oklahoma City on the other hand is a big (ugly) suburb on the Great Plains that feels like its been lost in time.

No offense to the O.P., but I think we should have some kind of cap or system to compare cities. Because this is going to be extremely one-sided.

It really is one-sided. Not fair to OKC.
