Depends on whether you want to see spectacular desert/mountain scenery or drink in history. If the former, then Phoenix; if the latter, Philadelphia hands down. However, there's also this: Philadelphia is far more accessible for a day trip than Phoenix is for a larger percentage of the American population thanks to its location in the nation's biggest megalopolis. And all of those people could also drive or take other ground transport to Philadelphia for the weekend, while most of those Americans interested in weekending in Phoenix would have to fly there.
Where should gamblers who want to spend some time on the beach go: Atlantic City, N.J., or Bay St. Louis, Miss.?
I get this weird and funny feeling, that there are more casinos right around Atlantic City than there would be in Bay Saint Louis. So if one was a hard core gambler, I'd probably pick AC. Although I'm sure south Mississippi would have some good casinos, too.
And never mind that to me as far as cities/towns go, the thought of visiting Bay Saint Louis sounds more appealing vs. AC. Since when I street viewed AC in the past, I get the sense this city has declined a lot vs. decades ago. Especially on the north end of its boardwalk, and along all its casinos not far from its waterfront. Maybe not quite declined to the degree of Camden, NJ, East Saint Louis, IL, Flint, MI, etc, but it still has declined A LOT.
For hiking and other national/state parks not too far away(and if it's designated as a national monument, that also counts too, same with county and city/town park systems), which would you pick? This includes national/state parks/national monuments/etc, a short drive away. Las Cruces, NM, or Pueblo, CO?

I would pick Pueblo just because it's in the front range of the Rockies.
Same question but Flagstaff, AZ or St. George, UT?
Tacoma WA. Tacoma has a nice seafood scene with fresh quality.
Which city is better for attending medical school?
St. Louis, MO or Nashville, TN?
Oooo. This is a hard one for me. It's a toss up between St. Louis University and Washington University vs Vanderbilt and Meharry (soon to add Belmont) both my Dentist and Primary doctor are excellent and graduated from Meharry. Numerous Black physicians in St. Louis graduated from Meharry. I know nothing about Vanderbilt other than the stats online. Quite a few of my neighbors attend Washington University school of medicine and love it!
I would have to say Nashville because I have closer personal ties to Meharry. I know it's biased but... Nashville.

Live theater
Cleveland or St. Louis.
Another close call. I would give the edge to Cleveland only due to notariety, despite St. Louis having nicer, grander feeling venues.
I'll lean towards Boston here, but barely, since there tends to be a higher array of fine dining/upscale options in addition to casual dining, which seems to dominate Baltimore more.
As for the live music comparison, Pollstar currently has 311 events listed for Austin, while Nashville has 474. I not the biggest country buff, but Nashville has the better symphony orchestra as well. Non-country options still abound from Salif Keita, Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, The Killers, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Daughtry, Spyro Gyra, Twenty One Pilots, Crowded House, Herb Alpert, Bear's Den, Taj Mahal, and Florence + The Machine are all performing over the next several weeks from a wide array of venues. Austin doesn't have anything like a Bridgestone or Nissan Stadium for the mega-acts.
Which city is better for Italian cuisine, Oklahoma City or Salt Lake City?
