Yup, we are pretty young compared to Detriot or Boston.

No.

Las Vegas is younger. LV was founded in 1905 and incorporated in 1911.

Las Vegas 2012 population - 596,424
Miami 2012 population - 413,864

The Las Vegas metro area also cracked 2 million. So yes, LV is considered a big city and it's a younger one too.

Miami metropolitan area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tampa MSA is still big. Is it as big as the entire Miami-Dade/Broward/PBC MSA? No. But it's still pretty big. The same applies to Las Vegas.

Either way, the City of Las Vegas is bigger than the City of Miami and it's also newer. Las Vegas also counts as a big city in America.

Exactly. A medium-sized city like Las Vegas is newer than a medium-sized city like Miami.
