The modern economy of Nevada is oriented towards tourists, who are offered a wide range of entertainment, primarily gambling.
Nevada has the largest number of hotel rooms per capita in the United States (one hotel room per 14 residents of the state, with an average for the United States of America of one hotel room per 67 residents). More than two hundred and fifty casinos with an annual income of over a million dollars (and hundreds of smaller establishments) offer their services to tourists.
Along with gambling itself, all large hotels and casinos also attract visitors with a variety of shows, celebrity concerts, sports matches and other equally interesting events.
The largest, most luxurious, most famous hotels and casinos of Nevada are located, of course, in the “entertainment capital of the world”, in the famous “sin city” – Las Vegas.
More than two-thirds of the population of Nevada live in the metropolis of Greater Las Vegas. Here, on Fremont Street in the city center and on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip in its suburb of Paradise, are concentrated the largest casinos, attracting millions of tourists. The Las Vegas Strip is the second (after Times Square in New York) most popular tourist attraction in the United States.
