David Wilkening, Travel Mole, 10/23/2007
Chicago came out on top when Travel & Leisure/CNN Headline News poll ranked the top 25 cities for a business/meeting trip that's also fun.
New Orleans was second.
Perhaps surprisingly, Las Vegas came in eighth. Why?
Low scores in culture, museums and overall intelligence were some of the reasons, according to respondents.
Chicago won for its skyline, ease of transportation and neighborhoods.
