IMO, Las Cruces is the most nondescript American city with a population above 100K. It has almost no skyline to speak of and no building or structure that readily identifies it. I don't mean to put it down but about the only thing Las Cruces has going for it is NMSU.

I came here for NMSU for college. Omg I’m so glad to finally be leaving! Jesus, in the 2.5 years I’ve been here, had my key from stolen at a gym in broad daylight, my girlfriends gym bag stolen, uncles house robbed, fought crackheads being suspicious on our property late at night 3 times, at a ditch by our house, a crackhead overdosed and his friends took his drugs off his body and left him there dead all night, 2 times a drunk plowed through a concrete wall on our property, and CRACKHEADS EVERYWHERE! Screamed at me in my car countless times for no reason, and the icing on the cake (what made me decide to leave) was that a schizophrenic fentanyl addict killed a police officer in broad daylight with a kitchen knife! Permanently disturbed me, I’ll never be able to forget that tragedy. Prices here are ridiculous, and some jobs break federal law and actually pay below minimum wage. And the only way to be comfortable here is if you live in Sonoma ranch, the top 20% wealthiest population here. This place is turning into Albuquerque. I’m so relieved to finally be leaving this doomed city

what was the cost of the hotel?

[@hoosiertim]

I paid with points, so I don't know. You can find out on Hilton's web site. Thanks for watching. 😎

I've lived in Las Cruces my whole life. It's an uneventful, uninspired, no ambition city. People are pretentious. People have a big city mentality in a small city. Very boring.

And yet, you still live there! It must be love!
