Those Las Vegas lights are shining bright on Pinterest Travel boards. Among international and national destinations, Las Vegas is trending at the top with most people searching for pins related to "Las Vegas vacations." Sin City offers more than just gambling, but also phenomenal shopping, a growing foodie scene, killer parties day and night, and entertaining shows.

With the Olympics half a year away, it makes total sense that Pinterest users have their eyes on Tokyo, Japan. As Japan's largest city, Tokyo offers a metropolitan lifestyle, best seen at Shibuya Crossing, with the right mix of cultural experiences like the grand Meiji Shinto Shrine. If you want to sample all that Tokyo has to offer like robot cafes, sushi bars, and open-air markets, plan your trip before the Olympics to beat the crowds.

Oahu is the second most-saved domestic destination on Pinterest with most travelers searching for the best things to do on the island. While you'll want to explore Honolulu's coolest spots like Chinatown, don't forget that Oahu offers outdoor adventures like Diamond Head and Hanauma Bay, as well as historical experiences such as the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.

Coming in behind Tokyo on the international Pinterest list is Oaxaca, Mexico. Places like the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and Mercado Benito Juarez are so picturesque, it's no wonder that Pinners have saved tons of articles and pictures of Oaxaca to their travel boards. With art galleries, museums, and archeological sites in Oaxaca, you'll have plenty of gorgeous spots to take pictures and add them to your board to inspire other Pinners.

The South's gorgeous cities and outdoor offerings have been garnering a lot of attention and it's perhaps that reason that Asheville is a top Pinterest travel destination. Framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is the perfect destination for those who love historic architecture and a Downtown Arts District with art galleries and museums. When city life gets overwhelming, take day trips from Asheville to the Biltmore Estate or to hike in the Pisgah National Forest.

It seems Pinterest users are turning their attention to diverse African travel experiences such as those offered in Seychelles. Comprised of 115 islands, Seychelles is sure to catch your eye if you love beaches and clear water for scuba diving. Resorts on the island offer a laid-back beach vacation, though travelers will find plenty of adventure in the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park.

Key West is well-known for their beaches, bars, and budget-friendly experiences, though Pinners seem interested in discovering the destination's hidden gems. Those undiscovered finds may be nudist-friendly bars like the Garden of Eden, a sanctuary for parrots at Nancy Forrester's Secret Garden, and even the city's cemeteries, home to tombstones with humorous sayings. With so many quirky things to do and see, it's clear that Key West will remain a top Pinterest destination.

Pinners clearly are interested in exploring under-the-radar destinations in Mexico like Chiapas. This state borders Gautemala and is characterized by a lot of historic Mayan sites and colonial towns with unique Spanish architecture. Some of the most iconic places to visit in Chiapas include the Agua Azul Waterfalls, Tonina, a jaw-dropping archeological site, and Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, a large reserve with forests and wildlife.

It seems that Friday Night Lights has stayed in the hearts of Pinners because they've got their eyes on Odessa, Texas, the same town highlighted in the book and TV show. In addition to a Stonehenge replica, there is the Odessa Meteor Crater, which has been around for 50,000 years, and a stellar mountain bike park. Of course, if you're going to make your way to Odessa, you might as well go full 'Friday Night Lights' and catch a Texas high school football game.

The fact that Himachal Pradesh is lighting up on Pinterest shows that Pinners have a good eye for discovering the world's next big destination. Himachal Pradesh is located in the Himalayas, and while it hasn't been highlighted a lot in the travel world, it truly offers a unique travel experience. Here you'll find charming mountain towns and resorts surrounded by breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventure like skiing and climbing. If you're interested in Buddhism, the area is well-known for its strong Tibetan presence through monasteries and temples.

Dallas, Texas, has slowly been gaining popularity behind Austin and San Antonio, and it looks like Pinners are recognizing the travel experiences it offers. Unlike its Fort Worth neighbor which has a cowboy and western culture scene, Dallas is metropolitan with a vibrant arts atmosphere in the Dallas Arts District, Deep Ellum, and Oak Cliff, a unique history in being home to JFK's assasination, and fun outdoor experiences at Klyde Warren Park and the The Dallas Arboretum. Plus, if you love food, you'll be happy to know that Dallas was chosen as Bon Apetit's Restaurant City of 2019.

If we had to guess why Poconos Mountains was of interest to Pinterest users, we'd say it was because of the experiences it offers in nature. The Delaware Water Gap in the Poconos is a natural wonder with over 100 trails for visitors to enjoy, while Hickory Run State Park has an Insta-worthy field of boulders that look like the surface of the moon. If all that wasn't enough, the Poconos is home to waterfalls, lakes, and charming towns with cute inns that offer relaxing stays.

Much of India was influenced by the British, but Goa, India, is unique in that it was a Portuguese colony and that history is easily visible in the area's 17th-century churches and spice plantations. A quick look on Pinterest shows that travelers have their eye on Goa's lovely beaches and the colorful beach shacks that line them. While it may not be the first place you think of when you think of surfing, Goas offers some astounding swells and attracts surfers from around the world.

El Paso has always been one of Texas' most unique cities. Set on the border of Texas and Mexico, the two cultures have blended to create something quite beautiful. Visit El Paso today, and you'll want to check out the city's historical missions, El Paso Museum of Art, and San Jacinto Plaza. Be sure to schedule some time to visit the Franklin Mountain State Park, take a scenic drive around the city, and cross the border to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, for a day.

Oslo is the 7th top international destination among Pinterest users. Perhaps it has something to do with Oslo's mild temperatures in the summer which make exploring the Viking Ship Museum, Royal Palace, and the waterfront quite wonderful. Don't overlook Oslo in the winter though, as it offers plenty to experience like Christmas markets and skiing. Whether you visit in the summer or winter, Oslo won't disappoint.

Pinners are quickly discovering that there is more to Seattle than Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the original Starbucks. Seattle offers travelers great times to be had at the Museum of Pop Culture, Pioneer Square, and Kerry Park. For those looking for a domestic destination with a laid-back atmosphere and great hidden finds like a gigantic troll under a bridge and tours in tunnels under the city, Seattle may be for you.

Get your two-step on in Nashville, Tennessee, home to country music's most iconic spots like the Grand Ole Opry House and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. If you can manage the costs, you'll want to stay at The Hermitage and explore the city's best spots like the Johnny Cash Museum and the bars, restaurants, and museums on Broadway Street.
