Top 10 things to do

MSN City Guide editors ranked these as the top 10 things to do in the US before you die. How many have you done?(or would you want to do?)

Wrigley Field- Chicago, Ill. Sip an Old Style and cheer on the Cubbies from the lively bleacher seats of this historic stadium.

Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco, Calif. Walk across the bridge at sunrise; just don't forget your comfortable shoes for the two-mile trek.

Mardi Gras - New Orleans, La. Witness the revelry: Ride a Mardi Gras float on Fat Tuesday.

Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic - Austin, Texas Celebrate the U.S. of A. singing along to "Whiskey River" with Willie and 30,000 of his closest friends.

Tournament of Roses Rose Parade - Pasadena, Calif. Camp out on Colorado Boulevard on New Year's Eve and wake up to the sounds of a marching band.

Empire State Building - New York, NY Meet the love of your life at midnight atop New York's most romantic skyscraper, a la "An Affair to Remember" and "Sleepless in Seattle."

Pat's King of Steaks - Philadelphia, Pa. On a Saturday night at 2am, wait in line for a cheese steak at the birthplace of Philly's signature sandwich.

Pike Place Market - Seattle, Wash. Grab a latte at the flagship Starbucks and watch the beloved public market open for the day.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Indianapolis, Ind. Walk 16th Street the night before the Indianapolis 500--it's Mardi Gras, a bachelor party and an insane asylum rolled into one.

Wayne Newton - Las Vegas, Nev. After a 12-hour gambling binge at the Stardust, join a cult-like crowd of fans to hear the croonings of Mr. Las Vegas.
