It's not a clean slate, because you've got the infrastructure underground and the streets. Plus, people own all this. You've got rights of way, you've got people's property.

That's a real question mark. If there's a long hiatus where there won't be any tourism, it will be difficult to crank it all up again. It's not like getting those refineries working again, which will definitely happen.

The lesson of disasters, natural and manmade, is that we generally rebuild more or less what was there. The reasons for this are probably mainly pragmatic (existing property ownership, buried infrastructure) but also perhaps sentimental: the urge to recreate what had been destroyed, to rebuild the world we knew.
