What time of year?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to see?
LA and Vegas? So are you talking strictly a western visit?

Bondi, I've got some ideas, but it depends on what you like to do. If you like to see lots of history, like the deveopment of the United States, then you'd want the East Coast. If you want scenary, it depends if you want scenary that requires work, ie., hiking, etc. If you like architecture, there's big cities. if you like historical architecture there's old smaller cities.

One thing is for certain, if you like to eat good food, there's Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Ok to answer all questions it would more than likely be your summer, which unless I am mistaken is like June, July, August? More than likely July.

At this stage I am completely open as to where to go but LA and LV are places I will definitely be visiting, it just so happens they are close by. I'll also be tagging on a week to Mexico either at the start or the end of the trip.

To be brutally honest I don't care much for American history, I have seen it all before in documentaries and films. Architecture is nice but I prefer stuff built hundreds of years ago over buildings built in the past 200 years.

I like food, I like drinking, I like having a good time and mixing with the locals. I'd like to visit places that would be nothing like home. I don't mind working for scenery, I also like adventure. Rafting etc?

Also, I wanna year people say y'all! haha.

Bob where is Chicago on the map? I wouldn't mind seeing the Bulls in action

Rafting down the colorado RIver , drinking in Chicago , food Chicago and LV ,, be ware in Califonia were ya drink and eat , ya might walk into the limp wristed part of town , there are tons of rivers to raft in Missouri , one things for sure in any US city other then Vegas when your gambling drinking and eating is going to be $$$ , in Vegas if ya gamble ya drink for free .. Its the cheapest entertainment capital the USA has to offer ..

Denver is a nice place to visit , Niagra falls is a nice place if ya like big waterfalls , NAshville if ya like country music , Branson Missouri if ya like shows and diiner theater , , but if your looking for beaches and cheap drinks do the Mexico a extra few days its a hell of a lot cheaper then anywere in the USA . Good luck

Pint (or however you serve them) of local beer=
Steak (Like T-Bone, Scotch Fillet etc) dinner at a restaraunt=

I never realised how cheap steak is in Australia. In the UK you had to sell a kidney to get a steak and it's not that far off in the states. At a steakhouse if you pay Aus$25 for a steak you are getting a fucking good cut and a good size portion!

Beer sounds reasonable :thumbup: I will not drink light beer though, even if they do spell it LITE

Steak in Canada is pretty reasonable, similar to Australia it seems, but again, it all depends on where you go. You can get a good steak for 20 bucks and you can get lousy steak for 40 and vice versa.

But when you go to Vegas, go to the Ellis Island Casino. It's a couple blocks off the Strip. It's just a hole in the wall place. Restaurant/pub and a casino. But if you want a good cheap meal, this is your ticket. Order the steak special, it's not on the menu so you have to request it from your server. For $4.95 you get an awesome New York Strip steak, potato, salad and vegetable. It's not the absolute best steak I've ever had but it was pretty high up on the list. Not what you'd expect for 5 bucks. Our server said he ate there all the time cuz he couldn't even buy a steak at a gorocery store for that price.
My wife and I each got a steak dinner and a couple beers each and our bill was 15 bucks. Not bad.
