When I think 24 hour cities I don't think Miami.

NYC & Vegas are the only true 24 hour cities in America.

What does it really mean to be a true 24 hour city though? Especially if you include Las Vegas, I say if you include LV than Miami should be included as well. Where else really besides the strip is bustling at 4 am?

This really comes down to Las Vegas VS New York City. (Both are 24 hour cities/but in different regards)

Miami is 3rd but it's no where close to the other two.

You'd be surprised, there are areas of Brooklyn and even some areas of Manhattan besides Times Square where things are pretty lively well through the night. In Las Vegas everything is pretty concentrated on the strip. You can even say most of the late night action in Miami is on Miami Beach (SoBe). I was arguing the fact that I don't know how you don't think of Miami as a 24-hour city but Las Vegas is though?

I'm just having trouble seeing how Miami can't compete with Las Vegas here. People in Miami party until the sun rises, whats different between that and LV?

Ohhh when I answered it was just speaking for restaurant and shopping in that regard.

Lol, I could careless about the nightlife in these three cities because I already know all of them are practically all night.

But food comes first. I am not familiar enough with Miami's system to know what they've got going on there food wise 24/7 way. So I'll leave that to Clean_Polo to explain.

NYC is probably best... DC was alright, but it mostly went to bed after 10 or 11 it seemed.. Philly Center City seemed to be lively pretty late. Most neighborhoods around major college campuses tend to be somewhat busy 24 hours a day as well.
