To the veteran players, which would be the one city you believe is best for a player lifestyle?
LA? NYC? Miami? Chicago? Las Vegas?

Unless you live in rural parts of morman country or something, all parts of America are sexually liberated with plenty of women up for casual sex. That's not even an issue. The issue is where are the best looking women combined with the best logistics and where you could have a great lifestyle?
NYC I think is the winner. Huge population, lots of high end girls and easy to walk back to your place or quick cab ride. LA has lots of high end women as well, but logistics are horrible overall because the city is like a giant suburb and everything closes early. Miami probably has the hottest girls, but unless you live in Miami Beach, it's as spread out as LA. All three of these places offer a great overall lifestyle but I think New York is the most balanced blend..
Of course any city could work for you if you have found your niche.

Since we are talking about US cities, not enough cash to leave, the answer pretty much ends with NYC.
NYC = can get a decent job, people get hammered, logistics are easy.
Are you guys putting Miami at number 2? If so what jobs pay decent down there ($100K+, cost of living is easier), from what I saw (short trips), it looks like dudes generally make 60-70 and buy shit on credit unless they are older/retired.

I just read that comment, so realistically, NYC still trumps by a long-shot, bc if you are liquid + cash rich... You can already leave the usa, no?

I guess what I'm asking is wtf do those guys do for work? Seems like successful business or random gig "getting by" making it a rough relocation option for the majority.

Finally, why would they stay in Miami with that much cash? Just go international so no reason to stay in the USA or am I missing something here.

NYC, Miami Beach, Montreal are tops.
LA is too spread out, competition is the highest, scene is too skewed, the police state, the draconian smoking laws, taxes, and early last call.
Plus, the West Coast sucks for International travel.
These make LA the loser in the "Best US city for player lifestyle" sweepstakes.
It does have The Wildcard Gym though, which is my favorite boxing gym in the world.

Yeah I have been to Miami and have no clue what those guys do for work. What I gathered is it is just 60-70K a year doing some weird line of work that doesn't give you much long-term leverage. They also seem to spend stupid amounts of money on cars + clothes (relative to their income)
While I agree the quality of girls are better, it seems like you either run your own biz or are already liquid and don't worry about it so girls are higher on the priority list.
I'd rather be in a spot that is higher on the money accumulation side. If money didn't matter any more I'd be ex-pat already (all these comments are relative of course).
So overall, if you're looking to move up in biz terms it makes more sense to be in NYC, if you're already cash rich then It doesn't matter what city you are in. This sounds to be the base of the discrepancy.
I'd even live in a city in Texas - Austin, get a oil based job than live in Miami at this point, unless there was some sort of lucrative job market in Miami that I was unaware of. There is certainly a reason why housing prices are bust down there in Florida... Majority is broke.

From what I hear, Miami real estate is heating up again. I think it is one of the hottest right now. (I am not an expert on such matters).
Brazilians are buying up places (it is now cheaper for them than Brazil, as it wasn't the case back in the "Up Economy").
Miami holds a lot of allure for people. I personally think it is sick. It is a "City of The Future" for sure. Although it might not be the best place to "make" your fortune. But I could be wrong here as well. There certainly is a lot of money floating around, you just have to find a way to get your hands on it. I am sure someone as smart as you can figure that out.
