One of my least favorite parts about Las Vegas is that is feels like you have to pay to exist basically anywhere. The whole place is like a giant mouse maze designed to suck out your money.
But if all expenses are paid it would probably be a solid week there's a good variety of stuff to do.
Alright yeah, this is my answer too. A week of pure hedonism in Vegas.
ALL expenses paid?
You know... I've always wanted to go adventuring in DC...
See a baseball game maybe.
Seattle, to meet some online friends and go apartment hunting like I plan on doing anyway
California is unaffordable. I have no future here.
And Seattle has the Lenin statue.
It's on the list
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. I will not say anything further
Chicago is a pretty good one, as long as you’re not talking about winter. Some good museums and downtown is nice to walk around. Depends on how long though, you might get bored after a few days. If you go to a baseball game, be sure to see the White Sox and not the Cubs.
I’ll plug San Francisco. Ignore what the chuds say about it. You can go any time of the year. And sure, it’s lib city but none of that should matter if you’re talking about just taking a trip. It’s the most beautiful big city in the US, bar none. Better Chinatown than Chicago. Great for walking around because they have good public transit. Marin County (other side of the Golden Gate Bridge) is achingly beautiful, as is the drive down the coast. And if ALL expenses are paid then Napa is great even if you don’t like wine, they have some of the best food anywhere in the country there.
Do not in any circumstances spend more than 24 hours in Las Vegas.
New Orleans
Might do Anchorage just to wander off into the wilderness for a bit. I found cheap tickets there once for a 3 day weekend, and wanted to go back to do more exploring of the surrounding nature.
If you ever come up, let me know! I might not be very outdoorsy, but I know some random neat nature spots around town that are neat to look at and a few more that are short drives away.
If it extends to a whole state, I would like to visit Albany to try an actual steamed ham. Yanks I've met keep telling me they're not real, but they're probably from Utica.
Then possibly go down to NYC to ask what the fuck the phrase "concrete jungle where dreams are made of" means. Is it just a quirk of US English? "Where dreams are made of"? If I could possibly meet Mr. Jay-Zed, I'd ask him personally, but I assume any pedestrian in NYC could answer me after informing me "[they're] walkin' here".
Finally, I'd like to chase a hoop with a stick from Times Square all the way to Coney Island, just as the founding fathers intended.
I would choose somewhere with vegan pizza delivery and then I'm just gunna' stay inside the motel/hotel room and not leave. Probably watch a bunch if anime on my laptop. Not getting fucked by COVID to see imperial core bullshit. Not spending my life being around Americans.
New York, check out a bunch of museums.
Same. Plus I want to go to the outer boroughs to see all the places my mother told me about in her stories.
Plus have some really good food
I mean.. I'd prefer to stay away from that whole continent if possible. But if I had to pick, I'd go to whatever town has that Casa Bonita restaurant
Austin, TX. I have a friend who lives there who I want to smash.
I simply wouldn't go.
Staying at home gang.
Honolulu. I just want to fuck around in the ocean.
i have some trans friends in some reservations in montana, and while theyre super remote, they are in a very beautiful area and have their own interesting culture to explore and learn about. id love to go there to vibe out with them sometime
Come to Chicago and meet the fabled corgi that has a laptop, of course!
go to Richmond VA and eat fudge rounds all day
Plus they have a lot of breweries
And a lot fewer confederate statues
I'm kinda curious about visiting either the Florida keys or the Hawaiian islands so i can wander through tropical nature. I also kinda wanna go back to D.C and bum around the city and fully indulge my antiquarian side by getting lost in all the museums, then waste a day or two looking at the art masterpieces of the American Romanticist period and whatever other paintings that catch my attention.
I went to the Keys once. It was a spur of the moment trip and we happened to arrive during its pride festival, which I later learned the city is famous for. We couldn't find a hotel room on such short notice so, we looked around for a few hours and left.
oh that sounds like a really nice coincidence!
New York, I've seen too many pizza videos on youtube
Juneau probably, it looks so pretty in x plane
Probably whatever fighting game major? Frostys just happened. Ceo/taku are both in florida and thus not happening. Vegas might be worth putting up with to go to evo.
The other 4 days would probably be spent exploring the city
There is a smaller city in New York (the state) where I've got an ex whose single, still interested and we only broke up because we didn't want to do the long distance thing. I'd love to visit. Would be bittersweet in the end, neither of us could ever make the move permanently, but I think it would be nice to relive for a week. Also the pictures of nature they send look beautiful.
San Juan
tbh I'd probably just sit on the beach
I'd have a tough time choosing between Chicago, so I can ride the L, and Minneapolis, for its cycling network.
Chicago is probably my pick too.
New York is the only city in the US the rest are a bunch of suburbs and sundown towns. I'd rather be paid not to go to Amerikkka
Oh wait I'm pretty sure I'm banned from entering the AmeriKKKa
Chicago is my favorite big city and the one I know the best so I would also go there.
Lots of good museums there (love the Art Institute and Museum of Science and Technology and the Shedd Aquarium), there is in fact all kinds of good food, even in a midwestern metropolis. I love the L and the metro in general. I've ridden that shit up and down and all around with a few good stories. In the past I've managed to miss good shows there, so I'd like to try and see one. Maybe the thing that carries Chicago over others most of all is the architecture; I'm particularly enamored with it.
Chicago does have greasy rain and too much concrete and noise and cars and grime etc, but it also stinks a lot less than Manhattan, probably because of the weather. I would prefer not to live somewhere with more than a couple hundred thousand people, but if I had to, Chicago would be first among my choices. Maybe it's just a lot of memories.
Virginia, been there and liked the nature. Or maybe Colorado, a friend said it was good.
Minnesoda! Specifically, Minneapolis...
San Juan or maybe San Francisco
NYC, i gotta go to the Met, got some things on my list in there. i'm sure there's other nice museums but at least 2 days i'd just be up in that Met
Pie Town, New Mexico. Eat pie.
Sam Francisco, to get a bunch of gender affirming surgery (assuming it's truly ALL expenses included, and surgery is an expense).
