Most people who visit LA want to experience a night out in Hollywood, but they have a hard time figuring out how to organize it. Hollywood has so much to offer: great restaurants, world famous nightlife, comedy shows, concerts and performances – you name it, they probably have it.
- One of the first things you should do when planning a night out in Hollywood is set up transportation. Assuming you are not staying in Hollywood, renting a limo can be cheaper than a taxi, particularly if you have more than 8 people. Shop around in advance – or you can often find a taxi van that will drive you for a reasonable fee (remember to try and negotiate a rate with a company prior to the trip so that you will be charged a flat fee). You might even be able to meet a taxi driver at the airport that will assist you by offering a roundtrip fare at a flat rate. Transportation options include and .

Locals head out for dinner fairly late in Hollywood, so if you take an earlier reservation you’ll be likely to get better service and you can hang onto your table for a while longer.
- When heading out to nightclubs, make sure to call in advance to reserve a table so that you won’t be stuck in a line at the front door. If you want to walk-up to a nightclub, come early (before 10 pm) and make sure to dress to impress!
- Do a little research before you go. , , and are all good resources for finding events in Hollywood.
