With beaches located within the city limits, nearby national parks and major amusement parks in close proximity, Los Angeles<\/span> trounced the competition with an Attraction Score of 8, while comfortable temperatures, low humidity and virtually no rainfall in the summer months allowed LA to ace the Weather Score with a perfect 10. Only above average hotel prices kept LA from taking first place across all of Travelocity’s categories.<\/p>\n

#2 San Diego<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

San Diego<\/span> came in just behind LA with a slightly lower Attraction Score owing to less choice in nearby amusement parks and fewer local historical landmarks. But for travelers looking for a smaller city with slightly warmer weather, San Diego<\/span> might be just the ticket for a perfect summer vacation.<\/p>\n

#3 Las Vegas<\/span> \/ Phoenix<\/span> (Tie)<\/b><\/p>\n
