What you plan on doing probably depends a lot on how much disposable income you have. Regardless, like @Espio mentioned, always bring more than you think you need. You never know.
For hotels: the tournament website will almost always have a link to the discounted group-rate rooms for the event. If not, you just call and mention the event and you should get the rate.
For travel: if a tournament isnt close, I always just fly. Whether or not you do this depends on your budget, so weigh your options and budget appropriately.
For food: if you have any food allergies or anything like that, you may want to consider at least bringing your own snacks. It can sometimes be hard to find gluten or dairy or nut free options to munch on. Worth noting for some.
Closing thought...
Evo is obviously the most amazing tournament of the year, and since you're only 18 you will probably save hundreds of dollars by not being able to buy booze at the bar. But any major is fun, and if you just introduce yourself to people, you never know! This community is pretty damn friendly overall. Several of my closest friends started out as acquaintances from fighting games, and the awesome friendships have long outlasted us giving a shit about being competitive. It's really all about meeting cool people who share your hobby and simply having fun playing.
