I don't know Kentucky well and I am an Northerner so I'm obviously biased but if you're coming to a few weeks, take a bus/train/flight up to New York City. It really is the most energetic exciting truly excellent place I've ever been...which is why I've made it my home. ^_^
There is *a lot* to do in this country, and I'm sure you'll be getting tons of suggestions. Just keep in mind, this is a BIG place, and it works best if you figure out where things are in relation to each other, and make a plan accordingly. It's *days* of driving to get from one coast to the other. We drove from Seattle to Los Angeles recently, and it took more than two solid days of driving. That's literally all we did - drive and take the odd lunch/bathroom break.What you can see will depend on how long you're here, and how you want to travel. Driving around the USA has some serious benefits - this country is pretty much built around the concept of a "road trip", and you'll get to see a lot of things that you'd never get to see otherwise. There are a *ton* of "roadside attractions" big and small all over this country in addition to the all the world famous stuff you probably already know about. However, the distances can be considerable, and if you want to hit a lot of the big cities/attractions(Disney World, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, etc), you'll probably have to fly between them unless you're here for a good month. Flying takes less time(technically - it's not fun to fly here anymore and every time you get on a plane expect to waste a full day no matter how short the flight), but you'll be missing out on the small things, and possibly some of the large ones if there's no airport nearby. You can do a combination of flying and driving around. Every airport I've been to has had a car rental attached to it somewhere. Public transportation outside of planes is terrible here, so renting a car is not a bad idea. Except in New York. Don't drive in New York. Ever. EVER. Driving in Los Angeles is no picnic either, but you don't have much of a choice:/If you want to do the National Parks, many of the nearby large cities have tours you can book to get you there and back again without a car. Las Vegas is one of the main places you can pick up a tour of the Grand Canyon, and several other parks as well. If you want to check out the rain forests in Washington State, Seattle has a lot of tours that'll get you there. Los Angeles has some tours to Yosemite and even the Grand Canyon. You'll need to do some research, but if you're not comfortable driving around, tours are probably the way to go. If you're interested in some of the smaller, wacky attractions the USA has to offer, check out this site:https://www.roadsideamerica.com/They also have an app for you smart phone that you can buy. It's totally worth it if you like weird little museums and just plain weird and wonderful stuff! My advice is to map out what you want to do, and figure out the distances involved as best you can. Unless you have unlimited time to spend here, you'll probably have to cross some things off the list just due to the travel involved. If you can find a cluster of things you'd like to see within a small area, that's a really good place to start your trip planning!Good luck!
Lion King is still on Broadway, I watched it this May. They also have Aladdin, which is supposed to be magical. If you are timing this around Michael Jackson's birthday, you should head over to Mandalay Bay, Vegas to catch the MJ ONE show. There's a museum there and his estate is planning something special for the birthday.
