I was trying to think of counter-examples, and Vegas never came to mind for me, but it's probably the best one out there. Is it more of a world-class city? It's certainly far more famous, and it a tourism hub. But it's not particularly developed in terms of infrastructure, and I don't think there are a lot of corporations or financial institutions that have centers there. There are not diverse ethnic communities there. Really, I don't know that it has much going in regards to world-classness beyond tourism, and I don't think tourism alone is enough to make a city world-class.
