United States has a tourist tax in some cities, not nationwide. Extremely common across US cities, though the exact rate is set locally, not federally.
Most major cities (New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and many others) charge a hotel occupancy tax, typically 10-17% of the room rate plus sometimes a flat resort fee.
Usually included in your hotel bill at checkout, sometimes shown separately as taxes and fees during booking.
Almost never — tourist and accommodation taxes are typically excluded from the headline price shown by booking sites and added separately at check-in or check-out, so it's worth budgeting a small buffer.
Banks and airport kiosks quietly add 3–7% to every exchange through worse rates and fees. A Wise account converts your money at the real mid-market rate, holds 40+ currencies, and comes with a card that works at ATMs and terminals in United States like a local one — usually the cheapest way for travelers to spend abroad.
