It's not a built-in feature of LabeledListPlot, so you'll have to do it 
manually.

gr=LabeledListPlot[listcities, Axes -> None, Frame -> True,
   GridLines -> Automatic, PlotRange -> All,
   DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]

You can add graphics directives to the points and text with a replacement rule.

Show[gr/.x_Point|x_Text->{RGBColor[1,0,0],x}]

First, let me say that noone should ever use Goto. You should always use a 
loop or some other process instead. With that said . . .

When you type semicolon separated input into the frontend, each command is 
treated as a separate input (as if they were in separate input cells). So 
the Labels and the Gotos are evaluated separately and there's no way to 
jump from one to the other. Instead, the commands need to be within the 
same expression. This can be done by wrapping the command in a 
CompoundExpression

(
   q = 2;
   Label[start];
   q  = 3;
   Label[begin];
   Print[q];
   q += 1; If[q < 6, Goto[begin], Goto[start]]
)

Or some other expression, like a Module.
