4) Las Vegas Strip (29,467,000)
The Las Vegas Strip is everything you expect it to be and much more. Many of the largest casinos hotels are located on this strip, making it the place to see and be seen. The movie, Hangover, saved this Sin City by going down due to recession. There’s so much to do here from shopping, gambling and sight-seeing. Even if you’re not someone who likes to be a part of the action, people-watching will also be hugely entertaining here.
5) Niagara Falls, New York and Ontario (22,500,000)
The Niagara Falls is actually a collective name for 3 different falls: the Horseshoe falls, the American Falls and the comparatively smaller Bridal Veil Falls. They form the border between U.S and Canada. Niagara Falls has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world with about six million cubic feet of water falling from a height of more than 165 feet every minute. What makes this fall so appealing is its pure force and accessibility.
6) Grand Central Terminal, New York City (21,600,000)
Commonly known as the “Grand Central Station”, the historic Grand Central Terminal is a famous New York City landmark in midtown Manhattan. Grand Central is one of the busiest train stations in the world and serves nearly 200,000 commuters every day. It is also a major tourist destination due to its beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture, its glittering ceiling painted with a map of the constellations from the night sky and of course, the shops and restaurants which are among the best in the city.
7) Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston (18,000,000)
Built in 1742, Faneuil hall has served as a marketplace and a meeting hall ever since. It is sometimes referred as the Cradle of Liberty. Inspirational speeches by Samuel Adams and George Washington and other patriots were given here once upon a time. Today, it is shopping at its best with more than 100 of the finest shops and the largest food hall in New England. It is a pedestrian-only, cobblestone area that is packed with tourists and street performers.
8) Disney’s World Magic Kingdom, Orlando (16,972,000)
This is without a doubt the most magical place on Earth. Watch fairy tales come alive at this 107 acres theme park with exciting entertainment, classic attractions, backstage tours and beloved Disney characters. It is the most-visited theme park in the world. Its major attraction is of course, Cinderella’s castle which is complete with a moat and built at special angles to appear even bigger than its actual height of 189 feet. The park is designed like a wheel with the hub in front of the Castle. Pathways branch out to the classic rides such as Dumbo and the newer ones like The Pirates of the Carbbean.
9) Disneyland Park, Anaheim, ca (15,980,000)
A visit to southern California would not be complete without a visit to the original Disney Park. Occupying about 85 acres of land, this park has everything to make it the second most-visited theme park on the world. From incredible shows to a spectacular nighttime attraction, the magic never ends!
