    I thought it was a place in a song from ages ago and carried forward in
    other tunes, and a term for when you are suddenly successful, you can
    live large. (gambling term?)?

    Randy mentioned New Orleans. Maybe if Fat City and Fat Tuesday are
    somehow related, that would make sense?

    I dunno,

    New Orleans. But when Hunter S. Thompson ran for sheriff of Pitkin
    County, his platform in part called for renaming Aspen Fat City. He
    lost by only a handful of votes.

    I doubt the term "Fat City" originated in New Orleans, but in New
    Orleans Fat City refers to a section of a New Orleans suburb called
    Metairie. At one point Fat City was apparently a hot spot for night
    life. Fat City was considered a sort of Bourbon Street of the suburbs.
    There isn't much going on in Fat City these days, though one of the
    better restaurants in the greater New Orleans area (Dragos) is in Fat
    City.
