Ahhh two of my favorite places to go in America. LA (all of southern California rock! Sure it is kinda dirty, traffic sucks, people are crazt, and the smog, but there is a ton to do. Disnery, of course is a must, but all of the OC is actually pretty cool. As I have never seen the show, I still like the beach there. Pasadena is a wicked cool plac esp. up around the Ritz. The restaurants are good, but not like in Northern California. Have fun, check out Melrose and Hollywood, it is really fun.
Vegas is fun as I have a bunch of friends there, so there is always a million things to do. The shows are funa nd getting better. Check out Pantom at the Venitan, a nice show, that is not too long. Also the New Beatles tribute thing is also cool. If you and your fam want to got o a great restaurant, Picsso is one of the best meals I have ever had, top 10 (that includes all the 3-star paces in Frnace I have been to. Also there are some cool musems and things. The Venitian usually has some great shows. The stuff in Belliago is fun to. Just go into all the big resorts and check them out. There is so much art and great things to see, it really is like no other place in the world.
