NYC is open 24 hours a day. Miami closes at around 2AM (generally). It's night and day.

Miami (FL) doesn't close. When I lived there not long ago, there was a period where I was between jobs where I came home after sunrise every day of the week. If you're trying to stay out past 2am in Miami and not able to, you're not trying... at all. Bars/clubs usually close at 5am, but I believe are only required to close for 1 hour a day, so there are afterhours spots. Source: Native Miamian.

> NYC is open 24 hours a day. The Vegas strip is open 24h. NYC isn't.

  Vegas is a con. Went there and probably will never return. Smoking, gambling and open liquor is about the extent of Vegas. It gets boring after a weekend there. Obviously if someone is dependent on any of the three it is the best place ever. If you're like me who doesn't smoke, hate the smell, gambling is just $100 for entertainment value and drink beer while eating dinner it isn't the place to be at. This is generally what I hear fellow millennials once they visit.

    I don't disagree but that isn't what was being discussed.

    I've spent a lot of time in Vegas and while it does get old it takes a lot longer than a weekend. There's clubbing, lots of high end dining, shows galore, Red Rocks for hiking and climbing, each casino on the strip is a spectacle, old Vegas, shooting ranges, etc. Most of those things costs a fair bit of money but are well worth doing.

Yeah, Boston wants you to be going home at 12AM, when the last trains are leaving their stations, and they force bars/clubs/restaurants/etc to be closed by 2AM, period. It makes me miss the random industrial city in another country I lived in for my MSc. Admittedly, that's one of my favorite cities period, but it had night-owl bus lines, including BRT. You could go out at 20:30, stay out until 04:30, and get home at 5:45.

    Because most people don't know where that is, and aren't stalking my LinkedIn to see where I got the MSc.

      Hard to call that "stalking" when you made it so blatantly out there for people to visit.

        This is a tech-industry news site. Half of the people here are on real names and/or provide links for networking. Yeah, I make my professional self "out there" for people to get in touch with on here.

        It is the use of the derogatory term “stalking” towards a person who’ve visited the links you put there yourself that I find peculiar, rather than the links.

DC used to close at 6 pm. It was amazing.

NYC is open 24/7 on paper. In reality, I was surprised to find the nightlife at night very poor. Except few bars/restaurants and McDonald's, there are few people. But maybe I was spoiled from Bangkok, Tokyo and the other Asian cities who are hardcore at staying late.

  Tokyo stays up late because of their train schedule. The last trains are mostly around 1AM which is too early for a night out, so most people just end up extending their night outs to 5AM first train back home. Taxis are too expensive.
