Cities like NYC and DC happen to attract a lot of tourists, but the nation's financial industry and federal government would still employ millions of people without the museums and monuments.
Cities like Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and Orlando would never exist in their present-day forms if it were not for the tourist-traps like casinos and theme parks that bring visitors to their cities. Those places aren't real cities, they're playgrounds.
And playground cities are plain jane how? Shouldnt they be the least plain jane?
Just about EVERY city in the US has a twin (another city of similar size or importance). NYC is the only unique American city. PERIOD!!! Outside of NYC, America is a plain Jane country.

I really hope that was sarcasm. Otherwise you are a VERY narrowminded individual.

Travel the ENTIRE country like I have, and you WILL understand my post. Unlike most of the people on these forums, I have actually stepped foot in every major town in the lower 48 states more than twice. How you might ask? A long career as an over the road trucker. During my down times, I explored cities I had never seen via local mass transit (much cheaper than renting a car). As a matter of fact, I remember Austin as having one of the cheapest bus fares of almost any city I visited. I thought that was pretty cool!!! Any way, America as a whole tends to repeat itself in some form or fashion if you have seen enough of it. NYC is the only city that does not have a 'twin'. I am sorry if my statement hurts your civic pride, but it is the truth. Take it from a guy who has seen EVERY major city in person. I know New Yorkers tend to brag and brag and brag about their city, but they can back up their claims. NYC is by far America's most unique city. Even Vegas has 'twins' (Reno and Atlantic City just to name a few).
I travel quite a bit and couldn't disagree more. Reno and Atlantic City are absolutely nothing like vegas, other than the fact that they have gambling. There are cities that share similar characteristics but not many that have twins.
