they're called Expos now. Dubai is having one in 2020. Milan in 2015.
They've always been called Expos officially. "World's Fair" was more of a casual term. There hasn't been one in the US since the Louisiana Exposition in 1984. It's the only expo to ever declare bankruptcy. But the ones prior to NOLA didn't perform much better. The biggest problem was that they gave NOLA an expo just after having one in Knoxville, TN in 1982. Not much of a gap.
Plus, the United States allowed its membership in the International Exhibitions Bureau to lapse years ago. I believe there are some cities in the US trying to get an expo in the future though.
