If you’re looking for trouble, you can find it just about anywhere, but some places do make it easier than others. Some cities are known for their naughtiness and a new report reveals where they are.
WalletHub has just released their annual list of the Most Sinful Cities in America.

Scott's Thoughts:
- How is New Orleans not even in the top 10? It’s 18th on this list and definitely more sinful than Dallas!
- Not everybody who goes to Vegas is there to be "Sinful."
- I have never been to Vegas. Not sure I want to go.
