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).

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.
