Vegas is fun...for like 3 days, and then it just makes you wanna go home. Regardless, I've been to Vegas 3 straight years and will be there again this coming March. We have a blast for a few days and then head off to one of the nearby national parks. Zion and Grand Canyon are only a few hours away, and both are worth a vacation on their own. The fast times of Vegas are balanced out by the slow times of the parks.
New Orleans is cool. I was there this summer for work for a couple of days. It seemed like I might get tired of it after those couple of days though. The food, culture, music, and architecture are all great, but the city still seems like a novelty that would get old quick. You can find some solid beaches within a couple hours' distance though, so if you diversify your vacation, you'll probably have a great time.
I've been to Norleans at least 20 times. Is cool the first two or three times after that it's a dump and FULL of gang thugs.
Being a resident of Florida many of us vacation near Mexico Beach and Scenic HWY 30A where I live and have worked for the past 25 years is one of the top vacation spots in the world! Look it up.
Crab Island in Destin is gorgeous when the water is right. You may as well google some pictures of that while your confirming what I said about the top vacation spots. Grayton Beach was named the #1 beach in the country just a couple of years ago. Go ahead and look up Seaside and Rosemary Beach while you're at it.
The only complaint that locals have with the panhandle is over development, hence the reason why we like to go to the Mexico Beach area during the crowded tourist season. It's not over developed, yet!
In the off season it is beautiful here.
Just laughable really, "the butt hole of Florida"!
