Everyone wants to claim their city has plenty of fun things to do. But we’ll let WalletHub be the judge of whether your city is a real rager or a total snooze fest.

The free credit score site just ranked the 182 most fun cities in the U.S. based on 65 key metrics. These include per capita arcades, breweries, ice cream shops, lounges, bowling alleys and more. Things like weather and movie ticket prices were also taken into account.

The No.1 spot went to Las Vegas, Nevada, which probably isn’t all that surprising. It received a score of 70.37 out of 100 possible points. Rounding out the top 5 were Orlando, New York, Atlanta, and Miami.

Three California towns made the top 20. San Francisco, which has the most fitness centers and dance clubs per capita, came in at No. 8. San Diego ranked No. 10 and Los Angeles No. 13.

Oh, and someone please tell Stephen Colbert that Sacramento is No. 24!
