You've stayed in the financial district of big cities? Most people don't, because they suck.
I stayed with a friend for a week in New York City. He lived right by the financial district. It was totally dead at night.
Tourists never hang out in those areas, because there is nothing to do.
I would also argue that our downtown isn't really that "dead" besides Eau Claire, which was a huge failure. I was on Stephen Avenue at 2am during Stampede, and there were people everywhere. Last time I was down on a non-Stampede night, it wasn't as packed, but still people all over the streets.
