Users are invited to record and submit their ultimate trick shot by Sunday, April 6, for a chance to win $500 worth of Uber credit. Check out the video above, starring Mavs basketball star Shawn "The Matrix" Marion, for inspiration.

UberSPRINTER
For a weekend this big, you had to know Uber would bring in some special wheels. From Friday-Sunday, get around celebrity-style with the UberSPRINTER Mercedes Benz, which seats up to 12.

UberCHOPPER
Speaking of celebrity style, on April 6, Uber is offering Dallasites and visitors the chance to see all the city hot spots UberCHOPPER. All users have to do is pop open the app, toggle over to UberCHOPPER, set their pick-up location and get ready for a great ride.

For $400 the requester and one friend can experience a 25- to 30-minute helicopter tour of Dallas complete with a round-trip pick-up/drop-off with UberBLACK — and, of course, Uber swag. This offer, provided by Sky Helicopters, is weather permitting.

SWALUV
Uber is also partnering with Southwest Airlines to bring the same "Luv" in the sky to the streets. You can read more about this partnership, but basically it boils down to a ride-four-times-get-one-ride-free deal.

Dallas just wants to have fun, according to WalletHub's new ranking of the most fun cities in America in 2024.

The annual report ranked Dallas No. 31 out of 182 U.S. cities.

WalletHub's experts compared each city using 65 metrics to determine their level of "fun." Metrics were split among three main categories: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and cost.

According to the study's findings, Dallas was 24th nationally in the category for nightlife and parties, and ranked No. 39 in the "entertainment and recreation" category. That may be especially alluring for anyone who wants to explore the city's vast entertainment opportunities (especially during the holiday season), family-friendly recreational activities, top dining destinations, and more. Plus, Dallas is home to entertainment juggernauts like the State Fair of Texas and TopGolf.

Dallas performed poorly in the overall cost category, earning No. 114 out of all 182 cities. However, this category mostly compares flat costs rather than affordability based on local cost of living.

Potential new Dallasites should do their research before deciding to move here, rather than basing their decision on short trips and vacations alone. But we won't blame them for wanting to live in one of the best cities in the world.

"The top cities offer affordable options for year-round fun for their residents, which is good for residents’ wallets and their mental health," said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo in the report.

Austin (No. 6) and Houston (No. 9) were the only Texas cities to earn a spot in the top 10 most fun U.S. cities list. Austin moved up one spot from last year, while Houston made a 10-place jump.

Other fun-filled Texas cities that made it in the top 100 are El Paso (No. 53), Fort Worth (No. 55), Plano (No. 78), Arlington (No. 79), and Corpus Christi (No. 99).

The top 10 most fun U.S. cities are:

No. 1 – Las Vegas, Nevada
No. 2 – Orlando, Florida
No. 3 – Miami, Florida
No. 4 – Atlanta, Georgia
No. 5 – New Orleans, Louisiana
No. 6 – Austin, Texas
No. 7 – San Francisco, California
No. 8 – Chicago, Illinois
No. 9 – Houston, Texas
No. 10 – New York City, New York

Cities were evaluated based on the number of attractions per capita, nightlife activities per capita, the average prices for eating at a restaurant or buying a movie ticket, and more. Data was sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau, The Trust for Public Land, and the Council for Community and Economic Research, among others.
