Totally disagree, majority of my family live in Leicester, they much chose to come wine, dine, and enjoy in Notts.
I was in Leicester over Xmas, during the period it was relatively dead at night. So we all caught a train and went there instead. Notts has so many layers, it's got WB, Beeston, Ruddington, Sneinton all easily to get to by tram or walking etc
