Las Vegas was listed as No. 1 in the Top 1o Fun Cities, according to WalletHub.

Who knew you could quantify fun? Apparently, WalletHub’s research team did.

They took a look at the nation’s 150 biggest cities and rated them on an awesomeness scale, weighing 58 factors that ranged from brewery hours and coffeehouses per capita to theaters, hiking trails, bicycle rentals and weather.

New York, for example, dominated the restaurant category, but it also had the highest beer prices. San Francisco and Honolulu tied for “most festivals per capita.”

When all was said and tallied, Las Vegas stood triumphant atop the “most fun” list. Read more and check out all 150 city rankings here.
