Things to Look Out For
Tipping is the wage, not a bonus
In the US, restaurant and bar staff are paid below a living wage on the assumption you'll tip. 18 to 20 percent on the pre-tax total is the floor, not generosity, and stiffing it is genuinely rude. The same goes for taxis, hotel housekeeping (a few dollars a night) and the bellhop. Menu and shelf prices also exclude sales tax, which is added at the till, so the number you see isn't the number you pay.
The country is bigger than it looks
First-timers routinely under-plan distances. New York to Las Vegas is a five-hour flight, not a drive, and the West Coast cities are hours apart by car. Internal flights, not road trips, link the headline cities on a short tour. Where you do drive, the Interstates are fast and easy, but the Grand Canyon or the national parks are a serious day's outing from Vegas, not a quick hop.
West Rim vs South Rim of the Canyon
From Las Vegas the day trips go to the Grand Canyon's West Rim. Closer, on Hualapai tribal land, and home to the glass Skywalk that juts out over the drop. It's the more commercial, more accessible edge. The South Rim, the classic postcard view, is far deeper and grander but a much longer haul from Vegas. Know which one your day trip books before you set the alarm.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
The United States spans a continent, so the right month depends entirely on where you're headed. As a broad rule, spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) travel best across the headline cities. Mild in New York, comfortable on the West Coast, bearable in the desert. The Southwest. Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, the Mojave. Turns dangerously hot from June to August, well over 40°C; the Northeast is cold and can snow from December to February. For a desert-and-Vegas run like this one, aim for the spring or autumn shoulders and avoid high summer.
