I typically play the Hard Rock at Hollywood and Highland once or twice a month. Certainly plenty going on around there at night.

OK, but what does you trying to get to Hollywood from the beach have to do with him having a good time staying there? He's already going to be there. He doesn't have to drive there from Santa Monica at dinnertime.
All of DT L.A. is pretty cool if he wants to see it. Everything from Chinatown to Little Tokyo is great. It's just booming. And there are a ton of cool bars DT if he's a young guy and wants to go out at night. I don't go out in Hollywood at all at night unless it's to go to the Arclight, but I'm getting old for it and I've lived it more than most people can imagine in my years in the nightclub business. That doesn't have anything to do with a young tourist dude having a ball in Hollywood. It's just one hopping nightclub after another along Hollywood Blvd. these days and he would not even have to drive if he's at the W hotel. In fact, the W has lounge/bar that's pretty well stocked when I've been in it.
