What exactly is a "quickie" vacation?

Hotwire put together this list: "America's Best Cities for a Quickie." Their quickie vacation categories included:

Driveability: How easy is it to arrive at this particular destination?
Value: Where does your dollar go furthest?
Leisure: How much fun stuff is there to do?
Population

They categorized the winners by size. Las Vegas was the big winner for big cities.

Tampa and Orlando came in second and third, respectively, on the mid-size cities list.

Living in Tampa, we know it offers plenty of value, great weather and fun activities, like visits to Busch Gardens and other big attractions. Plus there are great dining options and amazing beaches nearby.
