If I had a buddy with a condo in South Beach, and another in Las Vegas I would visit the one in South Beach. Figure this, the casinos in Las Vegas are more tourist oriented anyway. Do you really think after living in Las Vegas for a year that you would still hit up the strip every weekend? I assume most residents of Las Vegas haven't been to the strip in months. I'd assume the beach scene is less likely to get old since there are so many restuarants, night-life, shopping, and people-watching within a short walk of the ocean. Las Vegas, is more like an insular island surrounded by miles of nothing. Living on Miami Beach you could easily drive to the keys, Ft. Lauderdale, W. Palm Beach, and of course Miami proper.
I've actually seen this whole documentary. I've even been through Liberty City. Place is rough.
yeah I went through Liberty City, Overtown, Little Haiti, and Little Havana last summer. Overtown was probably the most shocking because of its proximity to Heat Stadium and downtown.

If we are comparing just Miami Beach alone this is not even a contest. Vegas blows it out of the park easily. If you include metros however it's a different matter. And I can see myself getting tired of beaches a lot quicker than I can of casinos.
Don't go there. This is just bait for him to say how that would actually be a downgrade and how the Bay Area and Oakland is so much better than NYC. His responses are so obvious that's it's not even funny anymore.
I think I would prefer Miami over Vegas. Probably might rent/own a vacation home down there in Downtown Miami or SoBe one day.
