Out of all the tourist destinations in the United States, which are the most overrated?|115643

Everyone always asks about the good spots, but I think the disappointments and not-so-worthwhile places are good to mention, as well.

Are there any that you feel weren_t as spectacular as the guidebooks claim?
Any sights that you thought were a complete waste of time?
Please say why it was disappointing.

Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. I_ll take Cocoa Beach and Orlando instead.

I guess if you are a huge partier and go to SoBe, it is alright. But, I am not. Besides sitting on the beach, there was nothing to do. We went to the Miami Seaquarium. I felt so bad for the animals in their tiny tanks.

Key West, FL beaches

They are small, man made beaches and have stinky seaweed washed up on the beach.

I agree Las Vegas is definetly over-rated
Thirty years ago _Vegas was more fun and it gave you a whole lot more bang for the buck than it does today

Mitchell Corn Palace in South Dakota Oh my gosh its so pointless basically all it is is a huge gift shop in a gymnasium with WAY overpriced stuff...dont go there,,,waste of time!

as i was reading your question i was thinking Key west just like the first poster did..it was dissapointing because the guidebooks made it sound like it was very tropical..BUT i sat in more traffic than i would driving home from work during rush hour, the water was not clear and warm at all (the snorkeling tours obviously sucked because of that), how tropical is it when there is a TGIF retaurant, walgreens, Rite-Aid, Poppa Johns pizza, etc on every corner, Duval st was pretty cool if i was with my friends partying but me and my girlfriend were looking for a tropical secluded getaway and Key west was far from it...

Las Vegas. The casinos are fine, but everything else they_ve tried to put in there just takes up space and doesn_t really provide anything else to do.

I_ve been to several places and i think Pensacola is highly overated.I used to book hotels when i traveled and what i did was i was booking with the wrong hotels!They were so pricey!So i said screw it,i got a tip from a friend and he told about a website at www.goodlifeworldplaza.com.I found the cheapest prices here!They also have a spot were you can play casino!I love this site!
