Which cities would be best as holiday destinations? New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas? I was thinking Los Angeles because of Hollywood and stuff, but I’ve also always wanted to go to New York and Vegas. Where else is good? Also - and forgive my horrible geography - but how far away are these cities from each other? How long does it take to travel between these 3 cities, and how can I travel to and from (like train, etc.)? I really want to visit all 3 cities in the one trip, hopefully without racking up a huge debt…any way you can travel cheaply?

Vegas and LA are close. You can rent a car and drive to Vegas from LA in about 3 hours. New York is on the other coast and is about 3 thousand miles away. I would suggest flying into LA, enjoy the sites there, then rent a car and drive to Vegas to finish your holiday. You can fly home from there. Save New York for the next time, as you will need plenty of time to spend there anyway. There are way too many things to see in NYC to only be there a few days.
i would go to orlando, florida because of all the theme parks you can go to!
The other answers are correct and Los Angeles Las Vegas are fairly close (about 275 miles apart by road), but New York is 2700 miles from LA.
You don’t say where you live, but there are non-stop flights from several cities in Europe to LAX. You could buy a ticket to Las Vegas with the connection at LAX, and do the Los Angeles portion of your trip as a stopover, either going or returning. Stopovers are normal and many fares allow one (1) at no extra charge - you just have to ask when you make the reservation.
If you decide to visit both coasts during one trip, consider getting an open jaw ticket that would allow you to fly to LA and home from NY (or the reverse). You then take other transportation between the two cities, possibly on an airline like Southwest or JetBlue (which don’t penalize for one-way tickets).
Apart from renting a car, you can take trains or buses in the USA but remember the long distances:
There are many, many interesting destinations in the USA and it depends on what you like want. There are lots of travel guides for the USA (books + online) and you should do some research. Also, every state and almost every city has a tourism website.
Examples from CA/NV:

Consider joining SERVAS, which is a global network of travelers and hosts who have passed a background check:
Good luck!
