As far as cityscape, Las Vegas is pretty ugly. Now, some of the suburbs look nice with the pretty xeriscaping and rugged mountain backdrop.
Valley of Fire, Lake Mead, and Red Rock Canyon are absolutely amazing though. I'd say the landscapes of greater Vegas are more special, captivating, and beautiful than a log of U.S. cities. Sorry, but forests with rolling hills is boring and unspecial.
What Las Vegas might lack compared to San Diego it makes up for with the scenery with the nightlife there.
San Diego is good in some ways because it basically the incredible scenery is the only thing it has going for it.
One of the most incredibly lacking, boring and soulless cities of it's size anywhere on the planet but the scenery basically makes up for it.
Even places like Escondido, El Cajon and Vista which are among the less scenic areas would be some of the best scenery in many states.
Las Vegas has much more beautiful men and women compared to San Diego.
San Diego men and women in general are about beautiful as a Yugo, while Las Vegas is like Bentley. The exceptions are touristy areas like Coronado and La Jolla.
The scenery though San Diego is the best I have seen anywhere in America: hundreds of types of flowers, trees, beaches and unlimited hiking.
Las Vegas Westside is scenic because Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon and more trees and grass.
Las Vegas Eastside parts of it though close to being on Mars.
Well, only if you like really tacky decor, boob jobs, and neon. Otherwise, it's complete a horror show of a place. As Hunter S. Thompson put it, "What America would be like if the Nazis had won the Second World War."
Soulless? I don't know how to tell you this, but if LV has a soul (Which is subject to serious debate) it's nothing more than pure id, the non-stop compulsive quest of the next high. You know that creepy uncle who shows up at family reunions? The guy who tries too hard, drinks too much, doesn't understand boundaries, and is only tolerated because, hey, he's family? The scummy uncle people tell their children to stay away from? The guy who wears wife beaters and roars into the driveway in his Firebird with the t-top? If that guy were a city, he would be Las Vegas.
Behind the facades of the gimcrack buildings, the faux everything, and the endless hucksterism is one one the most shallow and corrupt places on the planet. Slapping gold paint on it doesn't fool the discerning eye.
Everything else you wrote is just, well, no.

Agree here. Due to the consistent density and contiguity of the “suburbs” (tiny plots) I considered all of them Las Vegas. I don’t find Las Vegas outside of the older central areas and downtown to be very different than the burbs. Indistinguishable.

San Diego soulless? If that's the case what is Vegas? And mind you I love visiting Vegas. It's definitely America's playground but I don't really think of Vegas having soul.
I think SD is actually very underrated and overlooked because of it's sisters up North. I just think SD skyline looks pretty dull.
Uhhhhhh. Miami and Tampa, like so much of Florida, stops being beautiful about twelve feet after you walk off the beach. What beauty exists is not in the landscape, but in the buildings they erect.
Meanwhile, San Diego has this amazing natural setting with its perfect harbor and surrounding hills. No comparison between SD and Miami and Tampa.

12 feet, huh? I guess Old Tampa Bay/Tampa Bay don't make for beautiful landscape to you?
Tampa has quite a few gorgeous areas, and the city is set in a gorgeous area. Tampa is not not particularly near the beach either.

There's not a single area in Florida I have not been multiple times, Tampa among them. Pretty along the shoreline, sure. But once you get off the shoreline? No. And it is absurd to say that the area rivals San Diego.
Vegas, as expected, is getting pummeled in this comparison.
Vegas is pretty in some neighborhoods of the city, and the strip is very cool at night. But Vegas is generally never regarded as a "beautiful city."
San Diego is so much better on almost all levels.
