Los Angeles may be known for its spectacular sunsets, but it is when the stars go out at night that gives the city its reputation as an on-hit party spot. [more]

Nightspots here range from small dive bars to A-list, VIP-only nightclubs, depending on the neighborhood.

Hollywood is the best place to find hot action. The trendiest nightclubs and bars are all here and this is where you'll likely find celebrities getting trashed for the paparazzi. Dress codes in Hollywood are strictly enforced and even if you are sporting nothing but Armini suits, you are still not guaranteed entrance to some of the hottest nightclubs.

For live music, the Sunset Strip has the best clubs and is the spot where bands like The Doors and Guns 'n' Roses got their start. You don't need expensive suits to get into these rock clubs, but you may want to bring your wallet. Like all bars and clubs in Hollywood, drinks are expensive.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with waiting in velvet-roped lines and dealing with bouncers, head toward the ocean and one of Los Angeles' many beach towns. Venice, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica and Malibu are some of the best and bars here are packed with the young and well-tanned. [less]
