The United States is a land of varied experiences. Whether you want a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life or a quick spin at the roulette table on the weekends, you can get it all. Across the fifty states, thousands of experiences await you. The type of vacation you choose will depend on your interests, your budget and your time.

We've compiled a list of ten must-do activities you can't miss on your vacation to the land of the free and the land of the brave.

Treat yourself to a very Vegas vacation

Las Vegas is home to some of the largest casinos. From replicas of the Taj Mahal to glitzy nights on the Strip, you'll find plenty to enjoy and remember. It's the "city of sin," thanks to its many bars, casinos, pubs and upscale hotels.
Take on a real challenge

Throughout the United States, you'll find plenty of Guinness Book-worthy burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs. Eating massive amounts of food has always been the most popular way to achieve world records. Plus, there's no better way to beat a Vegas hangover than a huge bowl of ice cream (The Kitchen Sink Challenge) at California's San Francisco Creamery Co.

Revisit your childhood

Walt Disney World and the many theme parks in Florida appeal to every adult's lost childhood. These are the perfect places if you have children with you. Florida is a must-visit state if you are traveling with your family.
Let the jazzy tunes lull you to sleep

If you want to experience America from the soul, you have to visit the French Quarter in New Orleans. In addition to the music and culture, you'll be able to feast on the mix of cuisine unique to this place. If you arrive in time for the Mardi Gras parade, don't forget to book your hotel in advance.

Pick up the pace with thoroughbred racing

After the jazz, it's time for a thrill. Head to Churchill Downs, Kentucky, to watch the greatest competition in horse racing history. Soak up the excitement, feel the joy in the air and stand next to the winners at the end of the biggest race in the Triple Crown. It's nothing compared to the usual TVG experiences.
Grove and jive at music festivals

Newport, Rhode Island, is the land of year-round music festivals. Folk music, jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, metal, hard rock and every other genre of music flourishes right here on the music scene.

Bringing down the snow

Christmas carols have always been close to our hearts, and there's no better way to do it than with Santa. Take a trip down Colorado's snow-covered mountains. Book adventure sports like snowboarding, sledding, skiing and paragliding for the much-needed adrenaline rush.

Surf the white waves

Don't like the mountains? No problem! The United States has enough emerald waters and white beaches for you. Head to Hawaii for some surf and turf. It's never a bad time to grab a board and paddle out into the blue.
The calm of city life

Maybe you want a break from partying and nature walks. Then it's time for you to give Chicago a shot. It's the second largest city, but it has the most beautiful skyline in the world. Watch the sun set from the Space Needle, stroll the pier and explore the city on your own for an unforgettable experience.

Take a bite out of the Big Apple

No tour of the United States is complete without a visit to New York City. Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art and Michelin-starred restaurants make NYC a must-see for any American traveler.

Choosing just ten things to do in the United States will never be easy, but we hope this list will help you prioritize your next vacation.
