The Entertainment Capital of the World
The Entertainment Capital of the World is a nickname that has been applied to several cities:
- Las Vegas,[1][2] because of its "broad scope of entertainment options including nightlife, shows, exhibits, museums, theme parks, pool parties, and so on."[3]
- Los Angeles[4][5] (or, more specifically, Hollywood[6][7]), due to the area's radio, television, music, and filmmaking, as well as the abundance of tourist and amusement attractions in the region.
- New York City[8][9] (or, more specifically, Broadway[10])
In a variation on the phrase, Branson, Missouri is known as the "Live Entertainment Capital of the World", owing to its array of approximately 50 theaters.[11][12]
