    For me, it's Vegas. Been a couple times - don't really care for it.

    I like the idea of Vegas every time but then I just come back poor, tired, hungry, dehydrated, hungover and dirty feeling. It's the exact opposite of what a vacation really should be.

    Went to Vegas once. Never again. Tourist trap for club goers or money wasters for the ultrarich.

    New Orleans for me. Blah.

    Vegas & Cancun. Don't care to ever return.

    I go to Dubai regularly on business. Only thing I like about the city is restaurants. If you want to try Indian, Sri Lankan, Iranian, Lebanese, etc, the place is unbeatable.

    Dubai is unattainable for most and far off thought.... Really? Most people in here will never travel nor decide to travel to the Middle East.. Especially one of the rarest richest people on Earth only destinations. Why bring it up?

    I've known a few "non-rich" people that have been to Dubai.

    Although it probably is more enjoyable if you are rich. I thought it was pretty cool myself, but I was limited by funds.

    Galveston. It's a huge international destination, but I just don't get the pull.

    From what I've learned, even moderate millionaires could barely afford that place. I guess things have changed. I hear about South Asian people working in the hospitality business over there but never heard of anybody with less than 100s of millions to billions actually enjoying themselves besides government funded operatives. I dunno...

    Good calls on Vegas and Cancun.

    I'll add Bangkok and Tokyo. Great to go there, not sure I need to go back, there's so many other amazing places in that region.

    Both these places. I've been to Cancun twice, and I have zero desire to ever visit again.

    Gonna have to agree and go with the consensus about vegas and cancun.

    New Orleans > Vegas. NO is way cheaper. I always found it funny that some people think they're balling by going to Vegas to throw around a couple of thousand dollars and think they should be treated like ballers by hotel/club staff.

    Cancun is just an extension of an American beach town. Just go to Florida, you wont be saving any money by converting/spending your money into pesos in Cancun.
