Hey there, u/catsdogsguineapigs this submission has been removed because:
Negative topics don’t lend themselves to casual conversation.
We are a place where everyone can forget about their every day or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting and complaining don't fit the atmosphere we try to foster.

Atlantic City hasn't been "rated" in decades, everyone thinks it's a hole. Not sure how it's possible to be overrated lol

Hollywood, walk of fame. No glitz and glamour like people think, it’s a shithole.

For me it was Las Vegas, I'm sure if you're a multi-millionaire it's a lot more fun, I'm also sure in the 80s when there wasn't casinos every 5 feet(I live in Massachusetts I have about 10 within a 2 hour drive)
Otherwise I found it dull and repetitive.

Reno. Oh my goodness. Reno. The best four minutes I spent there were with a prostitute who couldn’t find a john and a raccoon who couldn’t find a dumpster. No joke. The three of us just stared at the water contemplating our lives before going our separate ways.

The last time I went to Atlantic City I saw a dude openly masturbating outside of Peanut World at like 12 in the afternoon, then no less than 3 people tried to sell me their mixtape on my way back to my hotel. I just wanted saltwater taffy 🥺

Las Vegas casinos are depressing, and you have to walk through a casino to get to the hotel. People smoke, a lot, in casinos.

Went to Atlantic City for the first time last year for a work conference and was absolutely gobsmacked. Would never recommend. We were on the beach at one point and some locals told us to get off because there were needles all over the sand. It was really a pretty depressing place.

Orlando. Other than Disney and Universal, it is a strip mall paradise.

Vegas is a shadow of its former self.
It's really not much fun anymore.

I had a great time in Atlantic City even though I don't gamble. I stayed in the nicest luxury hotel and the boardwalk was clean, lively and safe. Maybe you stayed on a bad end?
I can't think of any destination that is overrated but I am not a fan of cruising as a vacation. I think cruises are overrated because you spend most of the time on the ship and don't get much time to explore the destinations.

South Beach and Miami in general. It's beautiful, but the people absolutely ruin it.

Walt Disney World, and I say this as a die hard Disney parks fan.
It used to be so much fun and easy to get around and do 90% of what you wanted to do in a day. It was expensive but not prohibitively so.
Now everything has to be scheduled through a shitty app, they added pay per ride options, everything is an upcharged premium, and included perks from staying on property are gone. I love the place, but I don't know if I'll ever go back. What was once a fun vacation is now an overpriced baffling ordeal.
Edit: just noticed my old flair, ha! Ironic.

Had a summer house there (Ventnor 3 blocks away)mid 50's thru late 70's, view of the ocean, before casinos. Best time. I guess your timing was off a bit.

Nashville. I hated every second. We thankfully were only there for 1 day. Never ever again. Rude humans.
Yuck.

Cabo San Lucas.
I got off of the plane and fought my way through a mass of salesmen at the airport who were trying to sell me a timeshare.
I got to Hertz and the car rental agent tried to sell me a timeshare.
I got to the hotel and before I'm allowed to check in, they spend 30 minutes trying to sell me a timeshare.
Finally I escape the hotel, but as I'm walking around town there are salesmen everywhere yelling at me trying to sell me timeshares.
I even saw tourism businesses around town who distinguished themselves by advertising "No timeshare."
Maybe I just look like a good mark, but for me it was a hellhole of timeshare salesmen.
The rest of Baja California Sur was beautiful, including the nearby but distinct San Jose Del Cabo, and especially La Paz and Los Santos. Cabo San Lucas was terrible though. Even if you escape the timeshare salesmen it's just a bunch of rundown resorts and tourist traps.

Saturn. It's bloody freezing, takes ages to get there on the bus, beaches covered in litter, the sea is a roiling cauldron of caustic methane and it's full of aggressive people with bad tattoos taking advantage of the cheap booze.

if you went to AC expecting class, that was your first mistake.
