    Spend some time on Venice Beach with the boardwalk, great shopping, lots of sun, and Muscle Beach. Pass the evening in Santa Monica visiting the pier and 3rd street Promenade, with so many street activities.  See Downtown Los Angeles with  its skyscrapers, and Staples center where the Lakers play. Drive down the famous Sunset Strip, where all the music clubs Like The House of Blues and The Whisky are. This area has been a nightlife area since the mobster days of Bugsy Segal and Myer Lansky.  “The Doors” got their start playing here, and Johnny Depp’s Viper Room is here as well.
