Mr Fraser admitted nicknames connected residents to their city. 'If you look at the city now, it has some of the best nightlife in the country and we currently have four of the top bars in Australia.' Brisvegas draws mixed response 'We are an open and friendly city that's easy to get around and easy to do business ,' he told ABC Radio Brisbane's Craig Zonca. Mr Fraser said Brisbane had outgrown its former big country town image. 'It's a city that is an agile, midsized, affordable city with a good lifestyle.'
