Something that is missed for consideration are outdoor activities. Las Vegas has Red Rock Canyon N.C.A. , Lake Mead N.P and Mt. Charleston/Spring Mts in its immediate area.
Only a bit away are Valley of Fire S.P. Death Valley, Grand Canyon and Zion NP's. Because of that, LV has been rated #1 for outdoor activities.
What does NYC have? Central Park? A beach or two?

Okay, so some of these like Zion are 3 hours away from Vegas. So lets consider angthing natural within 3 hours from NYC.
-The Palisades of NY and NJ. Stunning Cliffs
-Hudson Highlands
-The Catskills
-Asbury Park, Long Branch, LBI, Avalon and the whole Jersey Shore
-Fire Island and Jones Beach LI
-Newport RI
-Berkshires
-Poconos
Actually, in one respect, New York and Las Vegas are the two most similar cities in the entire country. And that is, they are both overwhelming to the senses. New York overwhelms the visitor with huge buildings, bustling streets, culture both high and low, a vast diversity of sights and smells, and so on. But Las Vegas overwhelms the visitor with its garish illumination and over-the-top casinos and vast range of buffets and shows, wrapped up with the sheer audacity of plopping all of this out in the middle of the desert. Two of the most thrilling manmade sights I've ever seen is the Manhattan skyline from the Empire State Building, and approaching Las Vegas at night, both by air and on the ground.
Without looking at what other responders said, I'll say NYC has way more to offer tourists, and it's not even close. Besides Hoover Dam, the Liberace Museum and theme-park style casinos, Las Vegas doesn't have a whole lot to offer to tourists.
