Las Vegas Strip
Whilst it may seem strange for a town nicknamed ‘America’s playground’ to be listed as the most stressful place in America, it's worth considering the working lives of many of Nevada’s residents. These are the people that clean rooms, drive taxis, serve drinks and make sure that everyone who visits has the time of their lives. Well, it would appear that for those who work in Las Vegas, otherwise known as ‘America’s playground’, life in Vegas is anything but fun. Sin City was listed by Forbes magazine as the most stressful city and was closely followed by Los Angeles and Houston.
Unemployment, commute times, work hours, health care, physical health and amount of exercise were all considered to assist in the rating of the cities and Las Vegas was found to be the worst of all. The main reason for the stressful lifestyle of the town is thought to be the 24-hour day that's associated with a city that's known for all-night gambling and fun.
So next time you’re in Sin City, spare a thought for the overworked work force that make Las Vegas such an enjoyable place to visit.
