A rise in trashy stature from the No. 5 spot to fourth place this year had some Myrtle Beach, S. C., city officials tut-tutting about the dubious distinction.

"I am at a loss to explain why someone would put Myrtle Beach on that list," Myrtle Beach spokesman Mark Kruea told the Charlotte Observer. "That wouldn't be our perception."

The complete rankings:

1. Las Vegas

2. South Padre Island, Texas

3. Daytona Beach, Fla.

4. Myrtle Beach, S.C.

5. Orlando

6. Lake Havasu, Ariz.

7. Miami

8. Panama City Beach, Fla.

9. Key West

10. Fort Myers, Fla.

11. Tampa

12. Virginia Beach

13. Scottsdale, Ariz.

14. New Orleans

15. San Diego

I haven't been to Myrtle Beach since around 2001. Has it gone downhill?

I honestly don't know many native SCers who actually visit Myrtle Beach. Is it overrun by Canadians and Yankees?
