I live in the Memphis area, so I won't count it.

Atlanta
D.C.
Chicago
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Dallas
San Antonio
Houston
Phoenix
San Diego
San Francisco
St. Louis
Miami
New Orleans
Orlando
Indianapolis
Las Vegas
Tucson
Kansas City
Tampa

My favorites have been Tucson, New Orleans, Nashville, and San Diego. Most of these have been for work conferences, so I never really get to see what they have to offer. Most conference hotels look the same.

Top 5 from a visiting perspective)

1. Los Angeles. The weather is just too awesome.
2. NYC. It's as urban as it gets and iconic, and the women are the loosest in the country.
3. New Orleans. Would be number one if it the women were prettier, but it has everything I want as a tourist.
4. Denver. Just a cool feel.
5. Miami. Not bad all around. Has an international feel.

Honorable mention: San Antonio/Austin. I'm a Texan, so I can't really claim touristness, but if I was, they'd be in the conversation.

Bottom 5.
1. D.C. Museums hold my attention for like 30 minutes, and the bar scene is just a bunch of Georgetown bros.
2. Baltimore. Dirty and crime ridden. Food is great though.
3. San Francisco. Haven't been as an adult but it's cold as shite.
4. Atlanta. Buckhead has some cool bars, but otherwise it's just a Houston clone. Zero personality and really humid.
5. Orlando. Worst strip clubs ever.

Of those you listed, only Atlanta, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, and Washington DC.

The only other ones I could think to add (if your aren't counting Birmingham) are San Antonio and maybe Anchorage, Cincinnati, and Orlando.

I don't really remember much about Cincy, Baltimore, and Orlando.

I hated San Antonio (and all of Texas) and Anchorage. Jacksonville, Memphis, and Atlanta are ok. I really liked parts of New Orleans. Loved Vegas, Nashville, and DC

New Orleans women are way prettier than New Yorks, and are just as loose

How the hell is Orlando not a major city? Their metro is larger than a lot of the cities you named.

Yeah Orlando certainly is. I think any city with a pro sports team besides Green Bay can be considered major.

Plus I think Orlando has the second most international tourists after NYC.

I suspect that you've never spent time in NYC. It's full of beautiful women from all over the world. Those women are also loaded.
