A. 10000 Singapore Dollars is about US$6800, which should be enough for a good holiday. Best is to start by making contact with a real travel agency that is familiar with travel to the USA.
Singapore citizens can travel to the USA as a tourist for up to 90 days without a visa. You do need an e-Passport. You have to register online in advance, but it's free:

If you are not a Singapore citizen and need a visa there is a fee but it isn't significant:

When you travel and for how long matter a lot, but airfares should be US$1200 to US$1600. Airport tax is included in the ticket price. There is no departure tax leaving the USA.
Both LA and NY are expensive cities. Budget > at least < US$200 per day for hotels and US$100 per day for meals & incidental expenses. You may have to pay more for hotels.
Transport depends on what you do - taxis, rental car, whatever - and how much you move around.
Admission costs for attractions vary wildly so it depends on what you want to do. Both LA and NY are the subject of many travel guides (including online) that can give you an idea of costs for activities that interest you.
Hope you have a good trip!

how does the royal family travel around the world is it by private jet?
Q. They hardly fly on standard airlines do they
A. The Queen used to sometimes take public transit, but after 9-11 she is no longer permitted. She does not go overseas as much, but when she does a private jet is chartered. If it is a major state or commonwealth visit, then it is usually a full size jet chartered from British Airways. For short or domestic trips she is sometimes taken by VIP aircraft that belong to the Royal airforce. These planes are getting very old (over 25 years) and this mode of travel will be eliminated one of these years.
The only aircraft that is in long term charter (10 years at a time) is a Sikorsky 76C++ helicopter which can carry 12 uncomfortably, has been modified to carry 8 in some style. The helicopter is painted in the royal claret, and has the royal insignia. While the younger royals may fly the helicopter as far as Scotland, the Queen finds it uncomfortable and noisy to go that distance.
While the other royals also charter jets, a private jet big enough to have a bedroom and capable of crossing the ocean is very very expensive. The standard mode is to travel on a scheduled flight (first class) with a small party, and then if necessary to board a small private jet to traverse the few thousand miles at the local destination.
Royals pay roughly £1,800 per hour to charter a helicopter if the royal copter is unavailable
£1,138- £1,846 an hour for a military jet if available
£4,073 an hour for a small fixed wing jet
£13,832 for a large fixed wing jet capable of transcontinental flight
Prince Charles has spent the most on charters, once leasing two large jets for long trips to South
America and Asia in one year at a cost of over £630,000 for each trip.
The Duke of York as international trade ambassador had the following expenses for jet aircraft last year (international flights only) does not include meals and hotels
£41,997 Military jet - London to Middle East
£11,148 Charter flight
£54,869 Charter flight
£94,500 Charter flight
£28,767 Charter flight
£20,083 Charter flight
£62,092 Charter flight
£43,989 Charter flight
£23,586 Charter flight
£46,264 Charter flight
£21,153 Scheduled flight - New York
£22,644 Scheduled flight - Singapore- Delhi
£13,070 Scheduled flight - Moscow - Abu Dhabi
£7,406 Scheduled flight - Bombay, Calcutta
£5,333Staff Scheduled flight
£10,548Staff Scheduled flight
£11,613Staff Scheduled flight
As I stated above, he normally flies to a destination on a scheduled flight with his team, and then charters a plane to take him around the local destinations (which can involve flight lengths of hundreds to thousands of miles).
