Visit the Canyon
There are many ways to view the Grand Canyon, including flying over the top which is an impressive way to truly appreciate the vastness of this desert landscape. However to stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring experience.
2. Catch a Vegas show
No matter what time of year you descend upon the bright lights of Vegas, this neon oasis delivers. Its live entertainment scene is as big a drawcard as the poker tables, attracting top-shelf singing stars, comedians, theatrical troupes, hypnotists, magicians, tribute acts and more. Top class entertainment.
3. Raft the Colorado River
Rich in scenic splendour, native American history and untold adventure, the magnificent Colorado River affords its rafters access to dramatic canyons and gorges that are inaccessible via any other means.
4. Be a star
Immerse yourself in America's favourite pastime - TV! Live tapings of hit shows are becoming more populated than gyms in this popular, culture-rich nation. Choose from game shows, tonight shows, Oprah, Dr Phil, pilot sitcoms and many, many more.
5. Dine with Disney
An unforgettable family treat! Share breakfast, lunch or dinner with your favourite Disney star. Halve a muffin with Mickey or split a doughnut with Donald. Character dining is available at a host of great restaurants throughout Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and also at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
6. Find a bargain
Authentic outlet stores are prolific throughout the United States, but the Empire State turns bargain hunting into an experience. First check out Woodbury Common in New York's Central Valley, then head to Adirondack, Waterloo and New England.

7. Travel up the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is a 102-storey Art Deco skyscraper in New York City. The impressive building stood as the world's tallest for more than 40 years and offers impressive 360-degree views of the city from the 86th floor observation deck.
8. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge stretches 2737 metres across San Francisco Bay and reaches a height of 227 metres. It was the largest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1937 and has become an internationally recognised symbol of San Francisco and the United States.
9. Catch a baseball game
It's the national sport and an atmosphere you truly have to feel to appreciate. All the big cities have a team and a stadium, so take your pick - from the New York Yankees to the Chicago Cubs to the San Francisco Giants. Go on, take yourself out to the ball game!
10. Cruise the Boulevard
Possibly the most interesting 35 kilometres you'll ever canvass, Sunset Boulevard passes through or near LA's Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverley Hills, Bel-Air, Pacific Palisades and other suburbs of fame and notoriety. It's windy, treacherous and fascinating ... a lot like many of its inhabitants.
