The quiz was created by OLBG after a poll of 2,000 adults saw Las Vegas voted the most popular entertainment hotspot, with New York and London coming second and third respectively. Advertisement Advertisement Iconic landmarks (46 per cent), historical sites (40 per cent) and live shows (37 per cent) are what those polled look for in an entertainment hotspot. A spokesperson for OLBG, which commissioned the research, said: "We all love to be entertained, and going on holiday is no different.
“As a travel trend, people are much less likely to be satisfied with a week on the beach now, and are looking for more out-there experiences. “This is partly driven by the desire for hot social media content, but it’s also about maximising the difference between your day-to-day life and your getaway.” Advertisement Advertisement The study found one in four adults have been to Las Vegas, while 41 per cent of those who haven’t would like to.
Two-thirds believe visiting a casino in ‘Sin City’ would be more interesting and entertaining than going to one in the UK. Other things those polled believe make a destination truly memorable include waterfronts and beaches (36 per cent). Around three in 10 (31 per cent) believe a strong tradition of music and festivals helps, while 26 per cent opted for amusement parks.

And 42 per cent have travelled somewhere specifically to attend a particular event like a festival or a sports event, in the past. In positive news for the travel industry, 80 per cent of Brits describe themselves as ‘easily entertained’, according to the OnePoll figures.
But six in 10 reckon it’s much easier to be entertained in an exotic country, than in the humdrum surrounds of the UK.

It transforms a simple trip into an unforgettable adventure, filled with memorable moments and activities.".
