    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.

    Seattle, to meet some online friends and go apartment hunting like I plan on doing anyway

    California is unaffordable. I have no future here.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        Not everybody knows this, but the H.H. method is all about the toe nails. Once they get long enough to make the transition from shoes and socks to tissue boxes you know you're set.

    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 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
