Nevada

Nevada is the home of US gambling with Las Vegas the most famous and romantic city in the world for casinos, entertainment and what would previously have been considered as vices.

Now though, there are casinos across America and both sports and casino apps available to residents of states such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia so Vegas has perhaps lost some of its appeal.

It will never be surpassed for entertainment but the fact that Vegas has felt the need recently to add both NHL and NFL franchises suggests that simply gambling in casinos may not be enough to sustain its patrons. The big casinos have understandably resisted online betting, which has caused it to slip down the Wedge Index a little, but it would be a shock if there weren’t moves afoot for a rebirth of Nevada as America’s gambling capital for the 21st Century.
