If you are a fan of open country, beautiful horses, and a pretty good nightlife, come to KY. Lexington is surrounded by beautiful country, horse parks, and good golfing, while the city offers a great nightlife. Louisville has some great history to it, while again offering a good nightlife. And Northern KY, near Cincinnati, Ohio, has a great nightlife while still offering the goodies of Cincinnati without the traffic. (good art museum, the underground railroad museum, EnterTRAINment Junction (the worlds largest indoor model train display,) Kings Island (large regional theme park,) History Museum, and this is a short list.) Newport, KY also offers a walking tour featuring hideouts from Al Capone and others!
Oh and if you do come to Northern KY, get in touch! I live in Northern KY, and can take ya on a tour or two!
