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 its central role in the film, television, and music industries. New York City (or, more specifically, Broadway), due to the city's theater and television 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.
