Suburbs on steroids

Which former suburban communities have put themselves in positions of promenence due to their aggressive self promotion (or maybe sheer luck)? I'm talking about suburbs on steroids, that have within their boundaries significant attractions that makes the name of their communities known far beyond their own region?

I'm talking about places like:

Anaheim: Disneyland, Angels
Arlington: 6 Flags, Rangers
Bloomington, MN: Mall of America
Pasadena: Rose Bowl, Cal Tech
Clayton, MO: high rise commercial district that competes with StL

What others transcend their own metro areas and reach national promience?>
