thanks... i think i got it now. so gad picked central california, and i want to take hearst castle. it's smaller than a city, so i guess i'll just take whatever city sized region around hearst castle, but the castle is what i want
san simeon/hearst castle
san simeon is a pretty little town
but i'll be spending almost all my time in a non stop party at hearst castle
famous for it's debauchery, i'll fill the castle up with models and ballerinas(nod to the 60 year old billionaire former owner who paid the ballet company to give him his teenage ballerina wife) and pop stars and actresses and track and field athletes(the hot ones)

Seeing as how I literally could go to San Francisco pretty much anytime I want & never do, it seems silly to waste a pick on it while the place that me & my wife would have spent our honeymoon if we were baller rich is available.
Bora Bora, the place so nice they named it twice, is known for its picturesque scenery, stilted huts, mountains & aquatic life, including a "lagoonarium". The nightlife in Vaitape is supposed to be decent as well if I feel like dealing with actual people.

Pick #2: Big Island of Hawai'i
So much stuff to do.
How can you go wrong with Hawaii Volcanoes National Park?:
There's manta ray snorkeling:
I'll be getting in some culture at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park:
And some great nature hikes:
On my way out, I'll get some nice relaxing sunshine on Kua Bay:

Starting Point: LAS VEGAS 115.1398° W
Pick 1: ALASKA 149.4937° W
Pick 2: TUVALU 177.6493° E
Time to head to a tropical paradise in the middle of nowhere.
Here it is:
Can't see it? Let me zoom in:
What? You still can't see it? Let me go really close up:
There we go. Home for a week.
Why would I want to go here specifically?
Who wouldn't want to go to a tiny island nation? Who wouldn't love to wheel out the anecdote of the time when you were in Tuvalu? I know I would.
Who wouldn't want to see this sort of thing too?

eyebooger's pick:
After 2 amazing weeks on tropical paradises, it's time for a change of pace. I'm going to one of the biggest cities in the world.
Pick #3: Tokyo (139.7811)
Culture abounds here, and I'll be absorbing a lot of it.
I have the Imperial Palace:
The Meiji Shrine:
The Sensoji Temple:
....just to name a few.
Add in some views of Mount Fuji:
And a sushi breakfast at the Tsukiji Fish Market:
and I'll be a pretty happy tourist.
Most of all though, I'll be looking forward to getting lost in the sea of people a place like no other.
