Las Vegas Ranks Among Top US Cities According To TikTok

Ah, TikTok, you don't stop. When you are looking to follow what's going on in the world around you, the app doesn't lie. So when Portland Real Estate ran the numbers they found that Las Vegas is quite popular on the platform!

The study searched the platform for the most number of views for each major American city on TikTok. Las Vegas ranked number 4 on the list with 26 billion views. It goes without saying that the city has a lot going for it. Nightclubs, shows, concerts and more are sure to make visitors whip out their phone and capture the moment.

Las Vegas often finds its way at the top of "best destination" lists, but when it falls short we wonder who could top us!

So if the Entertainment Capital Of The World™ isn't on top of the list, who is?

In third place, Chicago with 34.4 billion views. The world-class city is bustling this time of year with The Loop, the Chicago River and visitors from around the world. That said, half of the posts are probably from people freezing in their apartments during the winter. High winds and snow make us raise our eyebrow at Chi-town topping Las Vegas.

Second place goes to the Los Angeles area with 39 billion views. The epicenter of media, influencers and beautiful beaches, this comes as no surprise.

Chicago is America's 3rd largest media market. Los Angeles is the 2nd. So Las Vegas is batting way above its ranking. Of course that must mean New York, America's largest media market, would take the cake. You'd be wrong! New York ranked 6th behind Houston.

Miami took the top spot by a mile with over 52 billion views. The amazing beaches, the fashion, the weather... Miami has so much going for it. Plus whenever a hurricane comes to shore you know the cameras are coming out in force. Tough to compete with that.

In order to feel better about ourselves, let's look at another list we ranked high on...

Well, it's shaping up to be a pretty big year in Las Vegas for visitors from outside of the state. People are coming to our neighborhood for all kinds of reasons. Brand new gaming venues are opening. Music festivals are happening throughout the year. Sporting events are becoming more and more plentiful. And now there's another reason for tourists to put Sin City on their list of places to see. Many travel websites, like Kayak, just released a list of the cheapest places to travel to in 2023. And Las Vegas is on it.

Kayak made the list based on a variety of factors. First was who had the cheapest flights. We know specials are offered all the time on flights to Vegas. Especially these smaller airlines like Frontier, Allegiant and Spirit. I've flown from Vegas to California, Washington, Utah and Montana for very low fares.

The second factor Kayak considered was the price of hotels. Again, we have specials all the time in Las Vegas. And with rewards programs at our casinos, there's a lot of money to be saved on lodging here. Add in our time shares and AirBnbs and you've got a lot of the cheapest options for visitors coming here.

The final considerations Kayak included in their list are which destinations on the web get the most searches. Also travel restrictions and security concerns in each area searched. 

So where does Las Vegas land on the list of cheapest places to travel to? We took only the cities in the United States to put on our list. And, thanks to Travel and Leisure, we've gathered the average cost of flight and hotel it takes to travel to each place. Check out where Las Vegas falls on this list of top 13 cheapest places in the United States to travel to in 2023. – Wendy Rush
