But I am little confused you offered to drive him from Denver to Las Vegas and/or LA, prior to his trip but told him Salt Lake City was too far???? That makes no sense.

I agree, that makes no sense to me either.
But OP, I also agree he sounds horrible. All you can do at this point is be glad his visit is over and never invite him back again.

You are lucky OP you never have to deal with that jerk again. I have a sister in law that has similar traits to your clown.
She dominates conversations always bringing them back to people that we don't know and don't care to meet. She interupts and talks over people all the time. We go out to eat and she will first designate to the waiter through her actions and utter contempt that he is there to serve her. She then orders something funky, making changes to it then complains when she doesn't like it. She has been known to leave a mess in her wake. The last time we went out to a really fancy place she dropped all this food and refused to pick it up, drank half her drink then returned it because she didn't like it, stole some tiny bottles of condiments off the table then threw them into the fountain to make a wish when we were leaving. She didn't have any change..
On the few trips that we have taken and she has tagged along she acts like a spoiled brat glued to her iphone texting. We say look at this look at that and she is like "yeah" She then snaps at us because little did we know she is having an argument on the texting.
She is NUTZ and the last time she blew up and stormed out of our house was the last time we have spoken with her. She has tried to wiggle back in to our lives but we don't need the aggravation.
I wonder if your Italian guy and my sis in law have any idea at all that they are the problem?
There's no way I would pander to an arrogant and unappreciative house guest like that. I'd put him out. If he lacked the money to leave, I'd give him the money to go stay elsewhere. It would be worth it to be done with him. I have no tolerance for someone disrespecting me in my home. Out ya go!
I guess it is beneficial to hear about the OP's house guest from hell- the level of rudeness sounds unbelievable- and poor Cape Cod Todd's awful SIL just to have the rest of us take a deep breath and consider those who are occasionally irritating or socially clueless and just be thankful that at least they don't put us through this hell.
Years ago, I had a house guest who thought it was amusing to sneak up on me and giggle inanely when I was startled. I foolishly invited her to spend the weekend with me as a mini-birthday get-away. She followed me around clicking out lights as she went, said annoying things like "You're going to drink a second glass of wine?"; hung over me while I was cooking dinner and said "Oh, I don't make mine like that." Snuck up on me when I was icing her birthday cake and tittered when I noticed her peeking around the corner. Rummaged in my closet and found one of her birthday presents (a box of expensive chocolates) and was eating them when I returned from an errand. Not federal crimes to be sure, but very annoying and I didn't invite her to spend the night again.
Yes . Period. I will never have another either, those days for me are over .
I have to say thought that like my name here I am married to a Dutchman and lived in Holland 4 years and I can tell you I have many inlaws and step people who are JUST LIKE THIS. They acted bad there in Holland and the few who have come to visit ramped up even further , You ,like me, got a bad taste of the I am the cultured Euro and you're not attitude some have .

Yeah, life's too short. But I don't think it was cultural. It was just horrible manners.
Mocking might have actually worked. I'd like to hear some examples of what that would entail in case I ever need that in my repertoire.
