Budget
Roughly equal

🎡 Orlando — top reasons to pick it

  • Walt Disney World (4 parks)
  • Universal Studios + Islands of Adventure
  • EPCOT food + drink festival
  • SeaWorld
💡 Local food tip

Eat OFF-property. Try Pho 88 (Vietnamese) or Hawkers Asian Street Food in Mills 50.

🎰 Las Vegas — top reasons to pick it

  • Strip walk at night — Bellagio fountains
  • Cirque du Soleil show
  • Day trip to Grand Canyon West
  • Red Rock Canyon hike
💡 Local food tip

Skip casino buffets — most are mediocre now. Real food is off-Strip in Chinatown (Spring Mountain Rd).

The honest verdict

If we had to pick just one without context: Orlando rewards a longer stay (~6 days vs ~3), while Orlando is the smarter choice if budget is the priority.

Honestly though — if you can swing it, do both. A 10–14 day trip combining Orlando and Las Vegas is the best of both worlds. Our AI planner can build a multi-city itinerary for you in 30 seconds.
