In my opinion it would be a mistake to see only the cities.
I traveled on the west coast a few years ago and I was amazed by the beautiful nature. Yosemite Park, Tahoe Lake, Death Valley, Grand Canyon are a MUST. Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel are very beautiful places to enjoy ocean view and beaches.
If you are not afraid to walk, go to the top of the Dome in Yosemite Park. You won't regret it.
Grand Canyon is very impressive. I specially recommend a flight with a small plane over the canyon. Unforgetable.
For the cities, I didn't see a lot, but SF and the bay area is great. I also liked spending time in Santa Monica. Vegas is good to see, but I spent only one night there and I think it was enough.

I also enjoyed visiting Universal Studio in LA.
Enjoy your time there !
