21. Las Vegas
Tourism—the #1 economic driver for Southern Nevada—has long paid for Las Vegas’ roads, parks, school construction and teachers’ salaries. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, more than 41% of Southern Nevadans are employed directly or indirectly because of tourism. But this single reliance on the visitor economy also means that the COVID-19 outbreak decimated Las Vegas like few other American cities.
But this is Vegas, baby, home of the seventh-best weather in the world and its Top 5 Attractions, and America—and the world—is returning. What they’ll find are new casinos and restaurants (of course)—Resorts World Las Vegas, which opened in late June 2021, is ginormous, comprising three hotels, an old-school “hawker-style” food court and a new theater hosting Carrie Underwood’s residency. But the buzziest of all? The Elon Musk-developed 1.7-mile tunnel system—built by Musk’s Boring Co.—opened in June 2021 to transport visitors around the city’s sprawling Convention Center in Teslas. Add two newish professional sports teams (the NFL’s Raiders and NHL’s Golden Knights) and you have a town poised for a massive return to business.
