I was in both Vegas and NO for work in May, and personally Vegas is my vote, hands down. I did not have a good experience in NO (mostly my own stupid fault, but basically got roofied and had my wallet stolen), but loved Vegas. There also was a shooting on one of the main drags in NO in broad daylight right at the time I was there (1pm).

For how much money I was out in both places, the value I got from Vegas was far, far better.

Im sure many folks can have a great time in NO, but for me I walked away really thinking it was a shithole.

Going with New Orleans. Vegas has gotten too touristy, IMO. I realize that the whole concept of Las Vegas was as a tourist spot, but it's just too much nowadays. It's a completely corporate vibe, unless you know some locals.

True, but Fremont St is still a good alternative option vs The Strip. I hit that up twice when I was out there and was glad I did.
