if my plane (from the USA) stops in Dubai and i stay there for a couple of days, do i need a travel visa?

From your question, I would assume that "a couple of days" means 2 or 3 days.
In this case, the following would be suitable for you...
96-hour Visa for Transit Passengers:
Transit passengers stopping at Dubai International Airport for a minimum of 8 hours and meeting the certain conditions are eligible for obtaining a 96-hour transit visa.
These conditions are as follow:
Such visas can be sponsored by the airlines only (prior arrangements maybe required).
Applications should have confirmed onward booking to the 3rd destination.
For transit passengers or those holding special permits, or for visit or mission, the passport or the document must be valid for at least three months.
Hope that helps..

Everybody needs a visa to enter the UAE. Some Nationalities received a visa up-on-arrival. Coz you did not mention you Nationality, I do not know if you belong to this group. Go to:

In case you can not receive a visa up-on arrival, a visa will be provided by a travel agency, hotel or family member/friend living in the UAE holding UAE citizenship. Also Emirates Airlines provides a visa if you book a round trip ticket with them.
Take care
