Yes, but you need to get a visa from the US Embassy before you go. If it's not for anything hugely serious, you should be fine.
My ex had a record for shoplifting and other silly stuff from when he was young, and he had no probs getting a visa.

To come to America for a holiday(for americans that means vacation) you need a passport.(visa to work)As far as the criminal record it depends on the offence. If you have a passport contact the embassy they should give you the answer you want.
Hope this helps.

There are alot of criminals travelling in the United States. Entry into the USA is on a passport and/or visa basis. If you are a terrorist the police can and will arrest you.

Depends on the nature of the crime,and how long ago it occurred. You would probably need a visa.
