5. Las Vegas
Maxim's
2006 #1 Party City falls victim to this year's metrics; we've done a
better job of including home-based partying. Still, almost nothing's
off-limits in Sin City 'cept dancing. And 14.9 percent of Vegasettes
are divorced and feeling kind of lucky.
4. New York
Yes,
there are 1.06 women for every guy. Indeed, there are 88 modeling
agencies. It is a 4 A.M. town. And, yes, 66 strip clubs hide across the
five boroughs. But what's the point if the law says ladies can't smoke
or shake their butts in bars?
3. Atlanta
Atlantans
don't get enough sleep 9.74 days a month, which helps explains why
there are 91 24-hour restaurants. The secret to this top-three placing
is Atlanta's 56,006 college undergrads (Vegas' downfall) and
party-compliant ordinances (N.Y.C.'s downfall).
2. Los Angeles
While
L.A. has one pitiful bar for every 6,284 people, it does have teaming
hordes of hot coeds and professional women. Raise a Jamba Juice to the
ladies of the city's 60 modeling agencies and 38 strip clubs. And to
the Greyhound buses they rode in on.
1. Miami
Drinks
on you, Miami, a city with 49 modeling agencies and a 13.2 percent
divorcée rate. Most of all, we like your market-driven nightlife: Bars
close whenever, dancing and smoking are accepted, and happy hour is a
lifestyle. Plus, Shaq's the only cop in town!
