Hoping to Attend a Chess Tournament - Anyone Have Advice?

I recently made some investments in vacation properties which should allow me to travel more freely and cheaper in the US, and maybe even internationally. I hope to attend my first chess tournament as a tourist and see some of the drama unfold first-hand. Does anyone have any good recommendations as to where / when in the US tournaments happen?

I have a resort property in Las Vegas and can get deep discounts on travel to Orlando also, if anyone knows about annual tourneys in those destinations.

Thanks.
