most overrated "popular" major travel city?

[magiciansampras]

I'm talking about the biggies here. London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, etc. The major cities and capitals of the world.

What is your most overrated?

Hong Kong....China lite

Not sure I would have Buenos Aires on my "major cities and capitals of the world" list either

Milan

Without a doubt Las Vegas.

NYC

Dirty, crowded, expensive, and miserable... I can't wait for my next transfer.

[Crazyhotelguy]

MIAMI.

...for a world capital very dissappointing.
The museums and galleries are fine, but the povery is unbelievable, the hotels are only so so, and the food is mediocre at best (one would think with all the different ethnicities living there at least the ethnic food would be good---hardly)
The traffic is appalling and no real night life.

Little room for doubt that it's Vegas. Visitors are bombarded with thousands of billboards and lights and unfortunately most of the city is a waste.

Las Vegas by a mile with Miami a distant second.

Seriously? Everyone is entitled to their opinon but 90% of NYC is not crowded or dirty. You just aren't going to the right places in the city. I would agree on Miami though...

[magiciansampras]

Vegas is taking a beating!

Not surprised to see Miami on the list.

Without a doubt.

But I really like Vegas, although I don't gamble much.

For the US, I say Los Angeles.
For South America, I say Sao Paolo.
For Europe, I say Milan.
For Asia, I say Delhi.
For Africa, I saw Cairo.
For Australia/New Zealand, I've never been to a disappointing city there.

+1...I'd add that the people are fairly unfriendly, and the cabbies are the absolute worst.
