Amtrak does the train equivalent of a cruise liner, where you spend about half a month on a sleeper car travelling all over America. It's cheaper than an actual cruise line, and more importantly I think trains are cool.
Edit: forgot about the unlimited money. I guess I would pay to replace all the rails in north america first so I have a smooth ride the whole time.
I'm assuming you're talking about the All American, as that's the main one I could find. About fifteen days, and $2400. Which is about as much as a three to five day cruise, depending on cruiseline.
That sounds awesome, and isn't that terribly expensive, honestly. My wife and I went on a similar route road trip for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was in that same ballpark of cost, between car rental, hotels, and other expenses.
Money and time no object? I would do a tour of the Pacific islands on a 110 Wally sailboat complete with crew so I get to do the fun stuff like helming and none of the boring stuff I don't feel like doing that day. Would hit at a minimum Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia and on down to the Sundays in Australia. Would take about 6 months although I could spend a lifetime there.
If I was time limited to two weeks? Sailing in the Bahamas in a Outreamer cat, these are as large as I can safely handle with my partner and its a lot lot shallower than the Wally so I get to explore far more of the Bahamas. Shorter holidays I want less flight time, so direct like this is perfect.
I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?
I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.
I would love to visit New Zealand. I'm a canuk and I hear they are like a better weather version of my country...I've also never met a kiwi that wasn't a stand up person.
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.
The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock
Tokyo. Splurge in Akihabara and eat some authentic ramen.
New Zealand
Malta I have been wanting to see the hypogeum for a while.
The Moon.
Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.
Honestly I wanna do an expedition to the North Pole and see the sun do weird shit. Then treck to the South Pole so I can see the sun do weird shit but backwards. Like I know that sun is a weird freak when it doesn't think you're looking, that's why it does it at the poles. Then along the way from North to south I'll tell people how weird the sun is, and they'll have to believe me because I've been there, and they'll have to say "damn the sun is weird". Sun's going to be so embarrassed when everyone finds out how weird it is.
That or like go to Cancun or something. Anywhere that I can keep track of the sun that twisted freak you aren't fooling me.
Money is no object?
Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.
There's a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a "rally school". For a bunch of money they'll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.
New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.

If money really was no object, I’d build the first lunar inn and live there permanently.
“Oooh TeamAssimilation, that’s the Apollo Lander, it’s a valuable relic, please stop licking it!”
Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world's debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)
Monte Carlo, during the F1 championchip race, at that one Hotel there with the best view.
Been to a couple gran prix, it is not as fun as it seems attending in person. You can only see a small part of the track, so TV coverage is waaaay better to watch. Also noisy (though not as much as it used to be before they introduced noise limits, no earplugs were helpful). For that MC hotel, only the vanity factor is strong, but given that you already have unlimited money by design of the question - there may be better ways to show off.
If money was no object: Las Vegas!
I'd play all the games for free and win all the money. I'd become a millionaire in a week. :)
Your moms house
Switzerland.
Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.
But money is a thing, so i'm not going anywhere.
Probably Amsterdam or Copenhagen for a few weeks,
properly experience a walkable city with good transit and cycling infrastructure
It's amazing. I recommend sitting outside the central train station in Amsterdam and people watching, as thousands of tourists attempt to bicycle or walk somewhere, and they're just in everybody's way. It's hilarious. If you're going to cycle (which, yes, you should) stay to the right and signal where you want to go. There are bike lanes there for you to take, don't just be off in the middle of the street. Also, they want you to pay for an extra ticket to bring your bike on the train with you, I found that this can be ignored if you're not a jerk about it.
Having visited both and now living in Copenhagen, it could change your life to visit! Great places to be a tourist
Pitcairn Island
Royal Caribbean cruise on an Icon, Quantum, or Oasis class ship (to the Caribbean, of course).
I don't care how much Lemmy hates cruise ships, nothing beats waking up to a different view out of your balcony every morning. Not to mention the unlimited gourmet food. You could eat a dozen lobster tails in a single sitting if you wanted to.
Alpha Centauri
Probably any other country where I could get a doctor to take a look at my heart condition without having to take out a loan against my house to pay for it.
I'd like to go back to Fuzhou, but geopolitical tensions are making international travel less viable by the day.
