The mimicry of the forms of the city cannot, however, obscure the singularity of the growth models prevailing on both sides of the Pacific, nor their competitive dimension. This article, which provides a careful decryption of the sources of growth in the two cities, highlights the existence of individualized urban capitalisms and invites a nuanced and updated reading of the effects of globalization.

Iconic gaming cities, Las Vegas and Macao, have known for the past fifteen years a converging destiny resulting from the internationalization of casino operators and seeming to have resulted in the creation of a “generic” model of city-casinos. The mimicry of the forms of the city cannot, however, obscure the singularity of the growth models prevailing on both sides of the Pacific, nor their competitive dimension. This article, which provides a careful decryption of the sources of growth in the two cities, highlights the existence of individualized urban capitalisms and invites a nuanced and updated reading of the effects of globalization.
