The Las Vegas Strip looks inviting, but apparently travelers are turned off by the Vegas vibe. The city was selected as one of the most unfriendly by Travel + Leisure magazine readers.

As unfriendliness goes, Moscow is the top city for giving travelers the cold shoulder, according to a new survey. Atlantic City, N.J., comes in second, followed by St. Petersburg, Russia; Marseilles, France; and Los Angeles.

Yes, sunny L.A. takes fifth place with a rudeness rating higher than New York City.

Travel + Leisure readers are the ones who weighed in and put 15 U.S. cities, including the nation's capital, on the snarky sites list.

1. Moscow

T + L says: "We suspect the city’s notoriously bad traffic and general “aloofness” of the people contributed to its low ranking, as well as its culinary scene, which was also ranked dead last in this year’s poll."

2. Atlantic City, N.J.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - AUGUST 28: The Trump Taj Mahal casino sits along the boardwalk on August 28, 2015 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. New casinos in neighboring states have drawn much of Atlantic City's visitors away, and in 2014 some 8,000 people were layed-off when four of the city's major casinos closed. The closures brought Atlantic City's unemployment rate to more than 11 percent, double the national average. The mass unemployment has produced the highest foreclosure rate of any metropolitan U.S. area, with 1 out of 113 homes now in foreclosure in Atlantic County.

Economically embattled Atlantic City got a punch from the travelers who commented: “It’s fun—if you like to gamble and don’t mind rude, fast-paced people.”

3. St. Petersburg, Russia

The Russian Orthodox Church on Friday, July 31, 2015 defended its controversial bid to fully take over St. Petersburg's landmark St. Isaac's Cathedral, saying it's in line with the law and wouldn't hamper tourist access.

The architecture is stunning but apparently the demeanor of the city's residents is not.

4. Marseilles, France

"Unkempt and gritty" is how T+L described France's second-largest city.

5. Los Angeles

Pretty people but too pretentious is what the travel magazine's readers say. “Rude, unhelpful people trying to scam you for everything” one commenter elaborated. Ouch.

And then there's this insult to Miami, which ranked No. 12: "It’s as if someone took the worst part of Los Angeles and slathered coconut oil all over it."
