Do you think you live in the most fun city in Arizona? A new report proves that you don't have to travel too far for a good time — you don't even have to leave the state!

WalletHub compared nearly 200 cities around the country to determine the "most fun cities in America," and while many of the top spots are major tourist destinations like Las Vegas, Orlando and Chicago, plenty of less-visited but equally as interesting locales received a shoutout.

No. 58: Tempe
No. 108: Glendale

No. 118: Mesa
No. 149: Peoria

Coming in at No. 27 overall, Phoenix is not only the "most fun" city in the Grand Canyon State but it's one of the most entertaining in the entire country, earning high marks in the entertainment & recreation and nightlife & parties categories.
