Best Time to Visit United States
The best time to undertake this luxury transcontinental route is during the Spring (April to June) or Autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather in New York and D.C. is mild and pleasant, Las Vegas avoids the extreme summer heat, and Northern California’s wine country is at its most beautiful during the bloom or the harvest.
Currency & Money
The United States uses the US Dollar (USD). Credit cards are universally accepted, even for small transactions, and are the preferred method of payment at all luxury establishments. Tipping is a standard practice in the US; 18-22% is expected for good service in restaurants, while $2-$5 per bag is customary for hotel porters and $5-$10 per night for housekeeping.
Getting Around United States
For a luxury itinerary, the best way to travel between East Coast cities like NYC and D.C. is via Amtrak’s Acela First Class. For transcontinental legs (D.C. to Las Vegas or Vegas to San Francisco), domestic first-class flights on major carriers like United, Delta, or American Airlines are essential. Within cities, private car services (Uber Black or pre-booked limousines) provide the most reliable and comfortable transport.
