Most overrated city: Las Vegas
This one should not come as a surprise to anyone, especially since we are talking about overrated cities. And when it comes to retirees, it is even more important to make sure that you do not fall into touristy gimmicks, which is what Las Vegas has turned into in the last few years. Of course, we cannot deny its vast history, the world-class casinos, or the number of celebrities that chose to reside here, but we also cannot ignore the number of drunken nights, bad decisions, and gambling addictions that have been formed in the same exact city.
The town has ended up being known as a money-making machine, with everything from casinos to hotels and restaurants being extremely expensive for those who visit, along with tons of crowded areas and massive crowds. If you have been there before, there is no need to go through the hassle of visiting again, even if you just want to have some fun at the slot machines.
There is another city that will give you the same thrill of an occasional gambling getaway without actually making a huge dent in your retirement savings and still providing the same amount of fun. Make sure to put New Jersey, also known as Atlantic City, on your map for such a getaway destination!
There are numerous famous casinos here where you will be able to bet safely, like Tropicana, Hard Rock, and the most well-known, Caesars Palace. And while the Strip in Vegas is popular, it is also rated a bit too high in our opinion, as the wide broadwalk in Atlantic City rivals it in its beauty, especially since it overlooks the beach!
Believe me, you will want to choose New Jersey over the hot Las Vegas when it comes to weather and affordability, and you also have the perk of being able to cool your feet after a hard day of fun if you choose to visit this city!
