A surprising SWFL city is named Top Ten Party City. Surprising to many because of its more sleepy reputation. Also surprising at the some of the cities it beats out. We often have a perception that the biggest cities in the United States are the BEST cities to party. But when you look at some college towns, that theory gets blown out of the water. Then again, many Americans aren't looking for the frat party vibe when they plan a celebratory getaway.
About the top ten party city list
The study was conducted by BonusFinder.com, an online gambling comparison site. The top ten list has a few surprises on it for sure. In addition, numerous cities that are known for an abundance of gambling make this list.
The number of casinos and gambling options was indeed one of the criteria when coming up with the rankings. Other things considered were what you might expect, such as the number of bars for the size of the population as well as how expensive those drinks are. In addition were the number of nightclubs, music events and hotels. And finally, the availability of affordable hotels. Why do you want to spend a fortune on a room when you are in town to be out on the town?
