Hi!
I'm from Milan but I visited Rome.
Great differences between Milan and Rome are: language (Milan is a multicultural city and speaks a standard Italian, Rome has a typical dialectal accent), life (Milan is the centre of Italian Economy and Work, while Rome is more linked to Tourism).
Milan is a very big city, it is a "little" New York.
Milan has inserted its Cultural Heritages in its new life. And you will see Duomo, Teatro Alla Scala, Castello Sforzesco, Santa Maria delle Grazie exc...near all the newest buildings.
Milan has many shops and boutiques. Footbridges are many but...is difficult entering if you have no invites ;o(
People here, buy media at Ricordi Mediastore, Messaggerie Musicali, Mediaworld, Saturn, and Cloths at Miss Sixty, Footlocker, Levi's, Nadine, Zara, exc...You will find the boutiques linked to the cloths showed in the footbridges by Armani, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Biagiotti exc...in Via della Spiga or Via Montenapoleone near Duomo and Teatro alla Scala, but they are very very expensive! (For example an hat...1000 euros...).
as for pubs...Milan is fantastic!
We have great discos: Alcatraz, Rolling Stone, Hollywood, de Sade, ...Pubs: Cowboys Guest Ranch, Milwaukee'd Diner, Angelo Nero, exc...and many beautiful places with beaches and tropical swimming pools, like Acquatica, The Beach ad Idroscalo Punta dell'Est, or very fashion places like Cheval Cafe (At Ippodromo near the Leonardo's Statue), Just Cavalli Cafe (The local of Cavalli, a stylist), exc...I send you a link in which yu will find all the most famous discos, pubs, hotels exc.. of Milan even if it is written in Italian: http://www.milanonotte.it/discoteche_milano_estive.htm
Have a nice journey!!!
P.s. I've never been to Los Angeles and Miami but...I visited US two times.
I loved US!
Italy has beautiful ancient places I think the beauty of Italy is Its past: castles, ancient churches, exc...and...food!
We have many wines, cheeses, exc...
US is a great country full of beautiful landscapes and cities.
In the south of Italy you will find more traditions and ancient past: Pompei for example is a city which was covered by the, I don't know the term, we say "lava", fire...of the Vulcan thousands years ago and you still can see the corpses today covered by stone.Then Ercolano, Capri, Agrigento and its temples. The centre of Rome...was the one which made great the Romans during the Imperial age. In the south you will find different type of cousine which uses much more oil, poverty and dialectal language. In the north..lives commerce, economy, so Milan is much more near the rest of Europe as fashion and traditions.The city I have found more similar to Milan is Paris.

i live in milan but i also went to rome... the only differences i saw are the cities theirselvs.
people have the same ideals, problems and lives!
milan as well as rome is a big city with a fun night life, fashion fever (maybe milan a little more), love for the art and beauty etc...
and why everybody thinks that milan is full of models??? the socalled fashion week lasts only a week, after than that models GO AWAY! of course there are many models all around the year, but it's not that you see them anywhere you go!
csi taught me that in las vegas and in miami there's more criminality :p

the hottest spots for night life in milan are without doubs arco della pace area, corso como, brera area...
high heeled shoes are a must for girls!

Well, in order to balance your previous answers here I am, proud citizen of the Eternal City! I don't know Milan well, but Rome is definitely worth a visit. As far as nightlife is concerned, you should spend some time in Trastevere and Testaccio, 2 famous areas for clubs, pubs and restaurants; Testaccio is also full of clubs in which you can dance and meet very interesting people. If you need other infos contact me.
Enjoy your trip!
