Top 10 Most Expensive Cities in America
If you can afford these cities, you’re seriously top 1%
From taxes that take more than half of your paycheck to utility prices 100% over the national average, these are the most expensive cities in the United States.
Las Vegas
Coming in at number 10, Las Vegas, Nevada is where people go to get rich through gambling. But when the tables turn (and…they always do), this city can leave you bankrupt in a heartbeat.
Experts say you should plan on spending around $300 a day on your trip to Vegas, not including a room which averages $270 a night. The typical Vegas vacation for two is approximately $3,500 at the cheapest. And don’t forget the 13.35% tax tacked onto literally everything you buy at the strip and downtown.
Miami
Miami doesn’t have the horrible tax rate that Las Vegas has, but with average expenses for one person being $2500, it’s no winner either.
The Magic City is one of the most treasured cities in the world — causing it to be a hotspot for vacationers and an attractive place to live as well. Located on the coast of southeastern Florida, Miami is smothered in sunshine and the nightlife is always bustling.
