I love Providence, personally. I also think Newport ought to be on the list, given its a bit of a tourist attraction.

Who the hell suggested Foxwoods and Moheagan Sun for Connecticut, though?! Granted, Atlantic City is listed in NJ, so I'll give 'em that. But really. A casino? A must-see site? I mean, really? Mystic Seaport and Aquarium I can see. How about the architecture and history in the region? The arts? Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam. The Mark Twain House in Hartford. If you're a fan of the classic cult soap opera "Dark Shadows", the Evans Cottage, the Griswold/Collinsport Inn, the Old House, and the monastary on St. Eustice Island are all here. Or if you want some R&R, stop by the Thomas Hooker Brewery in Bloomfield, where you can enjoy $10 bottomless glasses of beer and $2 slices of pizza.

Speaking of beer, I just noticed MA isn't on the list either!
Holy Cherry Wheat, Batman!
That's right. Take a tour of the famous Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston. Visit the legendary town of Salem and learn of the true historical witch trials. The Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield.

Wow.

For PA: the United #93 memorial. Saw it when it was pretty primitive -- but still very impressive. Now it's being improved...so that there can be more visitors, and more interpretative areas, etc. I found it very moving.

How about listing Mammouth Cave, Kentucky.

Mammoth Cave near Cave City, Kentucky, is the world's longest cave. More than 367 miles (591 km) of passages have been mapped. To get an idea of how long Mammoth Cave is, you should consider that the second longest cave in the world, Optimisticeskay Cave, in the Ukrainskaya region of the C.I.S. (former Soviet Union), is only 143 miles (230 km) long. Mammoth Cave is three times longer than its nearest competitor. Not only is the cave the longest in the world, but cave mappers believe the cave system will eventually prove to be 560 miles (900 km) long!

Here is a couple of links:

The only thing there really is to see here in Vegas are Casinos and Hooker.

I'd rather have fun at the Casinos then with the Hookers. :p:p:p

Another suggestion for PA? The Strip District in Pittsburgh. It's this amazing little cultural area downtown (Smallman Street). They have some of the best Mom & Pop shops and fantastic food. The locals love it just as much as the tourists. It's my favorite place in the city.
