In the Coastal South, tourism adds to its economy via a mega theme park. One of the most well known theme parks, Disney World, is in the Coastal South of Orlando, Florida. Walt Disney created a park in an area where he could control access to, from, and around the park. To keep his business afloat, Disney employed over 55,000 people. Furthermore, the Orlando area has more than 100,000 hotel rooms in the area and Las Vegas is the only place that has more.
The largest employer in the Las Vegas area is the MGM Resorts International. Jim Murren is the chairman and CEO of this hotel-casino operation with 54,250 employees. These hotels are all owned by MGM Resorts: Aria, Bellagio, Vdara, MGM Grand, The Signature at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur or Circus Circus. A large amount of resorts and hotel rooms are owned by the same company on the Las Vegas Strip. If you look at the map below, you can see that much of the Las Vegas Strip is controlled by MGM Resorts and those on The Strip have a likely chance of walking into these casinos. Although Murren cannot control the whole Las Vegas Strip, he controls a great amount of the area.
