You may or may not know that I currently live in a small town in Northern Az where I'm finishing up my schooling. I'll finish this spring and I need to move so that I can open my photography studio and get to work making a living. I do commercial and product photography, not weddings or families so I need to be near a big city with plenty of large companies to hire me. Where ever I move, I'll probably stay there for a number of years and buy a home and all of that fun stuff. Basically, I'm torn on where I should move. I've been thinking about this for quite some time and asked friends and family for help but they're biased so I'm looking for your opinions.

My requirements:
-Big city with many large businesses
-Nearby tracks for road racing (read: motorcycles)
-Night life and other ways for me to enjoy myself when not working

Current Options:
-Phoenix (I graduated from high school there, most of my friends are still around and I already have a client base there....but it's nothing new)
-Denver (I have lots of family there, love the city and the environment but also nothing new)
-New York (expensive, but I miss the east coast)
-Miami
-Las Vegas (very similar to Phoenix but different also)
-Germany (just for a change of pace)

I know this is a decision I ultimately have to make for myself, but any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I'm open to other cities that are not on the list.
