It is understood Contarino had visited Mount Charleston in Las Vegas and Southern California.
A missing persons report has been filed with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Police said the traveller might be in “severe emotional distress” and “in need of medical assistance”.
The US Sun has reported Contarino had been staying at the Bungalows Hostel on South Las Vegas Boulevard during her solo trip.
The outlet said she was also seen eating at Timbers Bar and Grill, where staff described her as “quiet” and “happy”.
Manager Jocelyn Zeigler-Arthur told the Sun the neighbourhood surrounding the hostel was “terrible” and “not great for a girl alone”.
Contarino was last seen wearing a grey and blue jumper, denim shorts, and black and white shoes.
Local hospitals have been asked to check their registries for the 26-year-old.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has been contacted for comment.
