World's Fairs, Olympics, and Other Big Ticket Events

We often associate a particular city with a particular event - New York and their World's Fairs, Barcelona and the Summer Olympics, and Seattle and it's World Fair.

Yet it seems that recently a number of those cities have lost money on those types of world stage events. Is this a result of simply poor planning or staging, or is it a sign that these events have outlived their usefullness? Do these events still have something to offer the host city, and who would most likely benefit from them?>
