The Entertainment Capital of the World

The Entertainment Capital of the World is a nickname that has been applied to several American cities, including:


 * Las Vegas, because of its "broad scope of entertainment options including nightlife, shows, exhibits, museums, theme parks, pool parties, and so on."
 * Los Angeles (or, more specifically, Hollywood  ), due to the city's radio, television, music, and filmmaking, as well as the abundance of tourist and amusement attractions in the region.
 * New York City (or, more specifically, Broadway ), due to the city's theater productions.

In a variation on the phrase, Branson, Missouri, United States, is known as the "Live Entertainment Capital of the World", owing to its array of approximately 50 theaters.
